Sheffield United re-open talks with Celtic for Mackay-Steven

Sheffield United will resume fresh discussions with Celtic today over a possible move for winger Gary Mackay-Steven, according to the Daily Record.

With Brendan Rodgers still working on a deal for Aberdeen’s Jonny Hayes and a possible option to bring back Patrick Roberts from Manchester City, the door may well be held open for Mackay-Steven to move on.

With Sheffield United back in the Championship, they are keen to strengthen and see Mackay-Steven as a key target. However, with two years still left on his current contract, talk stalled a fortnight ago as the Blades thought the winger may well be out of their price range.

However, talks are set to resume between the two clubs today with rumours circulating that a season long loan deal with a view to a permanent transfer could be in the pipeline.

The former Dundee United winger only appeared ten times during the campaign under Rodgers and looks to be on his way out of Celtic Park.
