Celtic striker Anthony Stokes, who had a loan spell at Hibs last season, is on the wanted list of Rotherham United manager Alan Stubbs.

The 27-year-old had a productive loan spell at Easter Road last term, but is down the pecking order at Celtic Park.

Coventry City are keen to sign Sheffield Wednesday striker Caolan Lavery if his expected release is confirmed this week.

Lavery’s contract with Wednesday expires this summer and fresh terms are unlikely to be offered with the Northern Irish forward well down the pecking order at Hillsborough.
