Rumours are rife that Beattie, now 33, could make a shock move back to Sheffield United ahead of our npower League One campaign which begins in just over a month.

Speculation, particularly on our messageboard, suggests that Beattie, who scored 34 goals in his 62 games for the Blades in his time at the club, has been in discussions with the club, and is willing to take a major pay cut.

Beattie is currently at SPL champions Rangers, but had a loan stint at Blackpool in the Premier League last season.

We stress that this is purely a rumour, but stranger things than this have happened. The return of 'King James' would give the the club and fans an undoubted boost.

We will have to wait and see...
