Collins rules out Riordan bid

Hibernian manager John Collins has ruled out a move to bring Celtic forward Derek Riordan back to Easter Road.
Riordan, 24, is looking to leave Parkhead in the January transfer window after struggling to make an impact since signing from Hibs 18 months ago.
But Collins is not interested in landing the unsettled striker, who scored 65 times during five seasons with the Edinburgh club.
"I don't think Derek is the type of player we're looking for," he told the Daily Record.
"I haven't actually seen him play 90 minutes so it's a tough call for me.
"I know he did very well when he was here but, one thing is for sure, he would be well outside our wage limit anyway.
"We really need to strengthen other places. It is not a priority position for us now."
