September 3, 2011

Sheffield United are still hopeful of signing of the Rangers duo of Kyle Hutton and John Fleck on loan. The Blades had reached an agreement with the Gers for the duo to stay at Bramall Lane on loan till the end of the season but the deal missed Wednesday’s 11pm deadline.

However United are blaming technical problems for the deal not going through and are going to appeal to ratify the deals.

Reports in the Scottish Press are linking Partick Thistle with a loan swoop for the duo incase their transfers to Sheffield United do not go through. If United lose their appeal, then Hutton and Fleck must either stay with Rangers or move to another Scottish club but not an English club.

Norwich defender Smith signs for PNE

August 12, 2011

Preston North End have completed the transfer of defender Steven Smith from Norwich City on a free transfer. The Scottish left back could make his Preston debut in this weekend’s League one clash against Scunthorpe United. Smith can also play in midfield if required, a quality that would certainly have attracted Lilywhites gaffer Phil Brown.

Smith started his career with Rangers and played eight years with them before joining Norwich on a Bosman. He was once very highly regarded at Ibrox Park and was also capped by Scotland U-21. However a series of injuries resulted in him losing his first team spot. At Norwich, he found it difficult to settle and was therefore shipped out on loan to Aberdeen in the 2011 January window.
