A report in Scotland claims that Leeds United are ready to challenge three Championship rivals to sign Celtic midfielder Scott Allan.

Leeds United have reportedly entered the running to sign Celtic midfielder Scott Allan.

It was claimed yesterday that Nottingham Forest, Derby County and Queens Park Rangers were keen on the 24-year-old, who is said to have grown frustrated with life at Parkhead.

However, according to the Daily Record, that trio will now face competition from fellow English Championship outfit Leeds.

The report adds that Leeds boss Steve Evans tried to sign Allan during his stint in charge of Rotherham United.

The former Scotland Under-21 international has made 16 appearances for the Bhoys this season.
