News has just come in that Celtic have put a stop to Mark Brown’s move to Hibs by demanding a transfer fee as he still has a year left on his contract.
An article on the BBC said: Hibernian have turned their attention to other goalkeeping targets after being told by Celtic they must pay a transfer fee for Mark Brown.
The 28-year-old was signed in 2007 from Inverness as cover for Artur Boruc.
But Celtic have recruited Boruc’s fellow Poland international Lukasz Zaluska from Dundee United.
That had sparked Hibs’ interest in Brown, but Celtic want to cash in on the keeper who has a year to run on his contract in Glasgow.
Brown came through the ranks at Celtic’s Old Firm rivals Rangers before moving to Motherwell in 2001 and then on to Inverness the following year.
It was during his spell with the Highlanders that Brown won both of his Scotland B caps.
Hibs had made contact with Dani Mallo, but the departing Falkirk goalkeeper is reportedly close to signing a deal in his Spanish homeland with Castellon.
Should Celtic let him go for nothing if he is surplus to requirements?
