Sheffield United and Blackpool are locked in talks in attempt to take Glasgow Rangers forward John Fleck on loan until the end of the season.

Fleck, 20 is looking to leave Ibrox to gain experience and couold move to either Sheffield United or Blackpool; with the latter (a Division above United) looking the likeliest. Both The Blades and The Seasiders have agreed a deal to take the Scotland U-21 International on loan until the remainder of the season with any decision now being left to the player.

Should Fleck decide to join the Bloomfield Road club then we would hope that could pave a way for Billy Clarke to return to the Lane!
