Scunthorpe United manager Nigel Adkins has admitted that there has been a large amount of interest in striker Gary Hooper.

The 22-year-old has scored 50 goals in 95 appearances for the Iron, sparking interest from both north and south of the border.

Adkins told the Evening Telegraph: "There has been a lot of interest in Gary all season - a lot of interest.

"A lot of clubs have been watching him all season. I know Celtic have been down on numerous occasions, but Gary can handle the attention because he is a sensible kid.

"I don't know anything about him being up in Glasgow for a look around because our chairman is dealing with any interest that comes along."

Meanwhile, midfielder Grant McCann has left Glanford Park to join relegated Peterborough United, but defender Cliff Byrne has signed a new two-year contract with the Iron.
