Media reports this morning suggest that Celtic are considering a £1.5million bid for former Hibs’ striker Eoin Doyle after watching him score in Chesterfield’s 2-2 FA Cup draw at Scunthorpe on Tuesday.
The Irishman who was Pat Fenlon’s forst signing from Sligo Rovers has scored an impressive 22 goals this season and in addition to Celtic, a number of other clubs including Derby County, Cardiff City, Sheffield United and Rotherham are also thought to be interested.
Doyle scored 11 goals in 49 games at Easter Road including a vital goal against Falkirk in the semi final of the Scottish Cup which helped Fenlon’s side reach the final where they lost to Celtic.
Despite being offered a new contract at Easter Road, Doyle decided to join his former Sligo Rovers boss Paul Cook at Chesterfield.
John graduated from Telford College in 2010 with an HNC in Practical Journalism and since then he worked for the North Edinburgh News, The Southern Reporter, the Irish News Review and The Edinburgh Reporter. In addition he has been published in the Edinburgh Evening News and the Hibernian FC Programme.
