Celtic and Rangers should make move for Hibs winger Martin Boyle says Kris Commons

Kris Commons says Celtic and Rangers should make a move for Hibs winger Martin Boyle.

The 27-year-old scored both of his side's goals on Saturday as they began their Premiership campaign with a 2-1 win against Kilmarnock.

Former Celtic star Commons believes he could do a job for either of the Glasgow rivals, and says Hibs fans should enjoy Boyle while they still can.

Speaking in the Daily Mail, Commons said: "Having played with Martin Boyle for a few months during my time at Hibs, I can vouch first-hand about just what a talented boy he is.

"My advice to Hibs fans would be quite simple. Enjoy him while you can.

"Given that he’s only got a year left to run on his contract, bigger clubs are bound to be looking at him.

"I know for a fact that Neil Lennon rates him highly and thoroughly enjoyed working with him during their time together at Easter Road.

"I also don’t see why the likes of Rangers shouldn’t at least have a look at him and explore the possibility of making an offer.

"With just a year left on his contract, Boyle wouldn’t cost an arm and a leg. Especially not with the financial problems Hibs are facing.

"He could be available at a knockdown price. I reckon a bid of around £250k would be enough to at least ask the question of Hibs.

"With the transfer window open until October, Boyle will be a wanted man if he continues the red-hot form he showed against Killie on the opening day."
