Hibernian fans fear that John McGinn is on his way to Celtic after the midfielder was omitted from their UEFA Europa League qualifier against Faroese minnows NSI Runavik.
Celtic have had two bids rejected for the player over the past week and it seems the transfer pressure is paying off, with Neil Lennon also admitting this week that he was unsettled by all the speculation.
With just a year left on his contract at Easter Road, his departure feels inevitable this summer, especially since Brendan Rodgers clearly wants the player at Celtic Park.
Still just 23 years of age, McGinn has the potential to be a long-term pick in the heart of the Hoops midfield after impressing for both St Mirren and Hibs in the early stages of his career.
Is his move to Glasgow now imminent?
These Hibs supporters took to Twitter this evening to share their thoughts…
Goodbye John McGinn. Thanks for 21/05/16

Poorly handled all round. So much for a higher level eh John. Disappointed and extremely bitter.
