North End hope for Hart

Preston North End have revealed they have agreed a fee with Aberdeen for the immediate transfer of Michael Hart.
Hart, 27, will now undergo a medical at Deepdale before the move is ratified as the defender is currently suffering with a hip muscle problem.
Last week the Lilywhites hinted the injury could delay his arrival until the summer, but the Championship club are now hopeful of completing the move in the current transfer window.
Hart had signed a pre-contract agreement at the start of last week.
"We've agreed terms with Aberdeen for the immediate transfer of Michael Hart," chairman Derek Shaw told the club's official website.
"He's going for an MRI scan and if there's nothing of concern in the results then we will hopefully complete the deal on Thursday.
"We knew that he was going to be out of action for approximately three weeks and we just wanted to make sure that it wasn't going to be more like three months."
