    Steven Whittaker

    NEIL LENNON is trying to piece together a deal to lure Steven Whittaker back to Hibs.
    SunSport can reveal the Scotland right-back is high on Lenny’s summer summer wish list as he plans for next season in the Premiership.

    Whittaker, 32, started his career with the Hibees before being sold to Rangers for £2million in 2007.

    He switched to Norwich in 2012 when he controversially refused to stay at Ibrox and play Third Division football.

    But after five years at Carrow Road, Whittaker’s contract runs out at the end of this season with a number of clubs now interested in snapping him up on a free transfer.
    The defender seems certain to have offers to continue playing in the English Championship.

    But SunSport understands Whittaker and his family are open to the idea of returning north to Scotland.
    Edinburgh rivals Hearts are also believed to be monitoring his situation.

    But Hibees boss Lennon is hopeful his board will be able to put together a contract offer which takes Whittaker back to the club TEN YEARS after he left.
    Whittaker has 31 Scotland caps but he has drifted out of Gordon Strachan’s plans during this World Cup qualification campaign.
    But Lennon reckons his big game experience would give his young squad a massive boost for next season.

    Well Whittaker can play on both sides so he can cover/rotate with Gray and Stevenson

    Would obviously be a good signing but may make it difficult to find a proper first 11 which can sometimes be a bad thing

    Whittaker could pretty much play any position on the pitch.

    Would be a good signing for us, so here's hoping it can be pulled off.

    Is anyone else thinking that if we said Ebola had been detected at ER the maroon balloons would issue a statement saying they got in there first?

    I don't think Whittaker would be covering for either of them as he's a better player than both.

    This, he'd be straight in as one of the first on the team sheet.

    Whittaker would be a good signing. Experience and cover for both full backs, I'm sure he wouldn't see himself as back up. Don't forget he also be deployed in a midfield role also.

    Kenny Millar saying SDG's agent been doing his job by offering him around to other clubs....

    Would add to the rumour of Hearts wanting him.

    I would be happy to see Whittaker come home. Not sure he's still quite as good as some may think though. We have better defenders, it'll be about what he offers going forward (which can still be high quality).

    Think gray is off by the looks of things. His agent is trying to get him a move away from hibs

    SDG's agent has been doing his job - not guaranteed he'll be staying

    Fair enough if he wants to leave for first team football but not gonna lie I would be bloody devastated if he signed for them

    He'd be doing himself out of legend status for the rest of his days! No chance.

    I would be devastated to lose him. He's not been brilliant this season but as you say he'd be chucking away something very special with Hibs if he left.

    Zero chance he signs for hearts.

    It he leaves, it's because lennon doesn't want him. I reckon he will stsy though.

    Is there anything in the Gray to Hearts rumour? Would he seriously go there?

    Obviously he had Hearts leanings before signing for Hibs but surely all that nonsense has been knocked out of him.

    He will of course go to where he gets the best financial deal.

    He is a professional footballer if Hearts offer him a better deal then he will sign for them. We would all love to think otherwise but that's how modern football is. All about the cash. Hope he doesn't but wouldn't be surprised if he did.

    Just saw Kenny Millar saying there's no interest for him from Hearts.

    If they offer him some crazy wage then I can see it, more likely to go down south though surely

    A little part of me would die inside if David Gray signs for them.

    I would also need a new username.

    Kenny Millar tweeted that there wasn't truth in the rumours of Hearts interest in Gray, thankfully

    Would be a good signing, but I'd rather have Gray if it's between the two of them.
