PLAYING HARDBALL
Dundee United will not “entertain” any January bids for reported Nottingham Forest target Lawrence Shankland.
Head coach Robbie Neilson says he still expects the striker to be at the Scottish club come February.
The Reds were linked with Shankland in the summer and it was reported earlier this month that they could rekindle their interest when the transfer window opens again.
PRAISE FOR SABRI
Brennan Johnson’s arrival on the first team scene at Nottingham Forest has happened quicker than even he dreamt it would.
The teenager made his second Championship appearance coming off the bench in the closing stages of Saturday’s 1-0 win over Derby County at the City Ground, his second league outing of the campaign.
OWLS FEELING THE PINCH
Sheffield Wednesday have become the latest Championship club to be charged with breaking financial rules by the English Football League.
The governing body announced on Thursday evening that the Owls had been charged with multiple breaches of EFL rules.
In a statement on Thursday evening, the EFL wrote: "Following a formal investigation into financial information provided by Sheffield Wednesday in relation to the Club’s 2017/18 Profitability and Sustainability (P&S) submission, the EFL has today issued a number of charges relating to alleged breaches of EFL Rules.
A STEP UP
Aberdeen defender Scott McKenna says he will “see what happens come January”, following a failed move to Nottingham Forest in the summer.
The Reds were among a number of sides who tried to prise away the Scot during the transfer window.
Forest and Championship rivals QPR put forward offers believed to be in the region of £3m, while Aston Villa were said to have had a bid in the region of £6.5m rejected.
