Hibs have had a substantial bid for St Mirren midfielder Kyle Magennins rejected.
The 22-year-old played under Hibs’ boss Jack Ross earlier in his Saints career.
He played for the Scotland under-20s at the 2017 Toulon Tournament and made his debut for the under-21 team in a 2–1 win against the Netherlands in September 2018.[
He is set to return from a long-term knee injury early next month and the Saints see him as an integral part of their squad.
The Paisley side announced the bid on the club website in a statement which reads.
“St Mirren Football Club can confirm it has rejected a substantial offer for Kyle Magennis from Hibernian Football Club.
“A St Mirren Youth Academy graduate, Kyle has made over 100 appearances for Saints since his debut in 2016; helping us achieve promotion to the Scottish Premiership in 2018 and maintaining our top flight status. In June of this year Kyle was named club captain such is the esteem he is held at within St Mirren.
“While Kyle is currently ruled out with by injury, he remains an integral part of our football club and we have no desire to sell. We look forward to welcoming him back into the squad in the very near future.”
