Gregory ‘not for sale’

MILLWALL striker Lee Gregory is not for sale, according to Lions boss Neil Harris.

The 27-year-old has been linked with Celtic, but Harris insisted: “There has been no contact from anybody. Lee is not for sale. He is under contract for another 12 months and the club have an option to extend the contract.”

Brighton, SPR, Sheffield Wednesday and Hull have also been keeping tabs on the striker, who netted 27 goals in 53 matches last season. (South London Today)

Simunovic ‘won’t be rushed back’

CELTIC won’t risk rushing Jozo Simunovic back to action before he’s ready, first team coach John Kennedy has insisted.

The Croatian defender hasn’t played for Celtic since the end of January due to a niggling knee injury, and Celtic face being without Simunovic and Dedryck Boyata for their Champions League qualifier in mid-July.

But Kennedy added: “If we have to give him a few more weeks then we’ll do it. We don’t want to set him back for longer again as he’s had a tough enough time of it. We have a big squad to deal with it so it’s not a problem.” (Evening Times)

Uefa ‘won’t probe Rangers European licence’

UEFA has said Rangers won’t be investigated over allegations the Ibrox club were wrongly awarded a licence to play European football during the 2011/12 season.

Claims that Rangers shouldn’t have been granted permission to play over the ‘Wee Tax Case’ have effectively been thrown out by European football’s governing body - partly because of Rangers entering liquidation.

A Uefa spokesperson told STV: “As a consequence of decisions taken against Rangers FC in 2012 as well as the administration of the club and the events and measures that followed, there is no need for UEFA to investigate this matter any further since the club was not granted a licence to participate in the 2012/13 UEFA club competitions, the club entered the fourth tier of Scottish football and it was not able to play in UEFA competitions for the next three years in any event.” (STV Sport)

Hibs hopeful over Cummings future

HIBERNIAN are hopeful Jason Cummings may decide to stay at Easter Road, after holding talks with Neil Lennon in Paris.

Cummings had looked set for an exit after Hibs failed to gain promotion to the Scottish Premiership but after meeting the new Easter Road boss in France, sources close to Cummings have suggested he could perform a U-turn.

The source added: “With a year left on his current deal and with Hibs still in Scotland’s second tier, [Jason] felt it might be worth looking at other options.
