Reading FC striker Marc Mcnulty may return to Scotland, with Hibernian apparently interested in re-signing the Scottish forward, according to reports.

Mcnulty spent last season at the Edinburgh-based side, scoring seven times in the Scottish Premiership.

The 27-year-old is currently on a season long loan with League One outfit Sunderland, having managed five goals in 20 appearances across all competitions for the Black Cats so far this season.

Mcnulty’s last league goal for Sunderland came in Sunderland’s 1-1 draw with Rotherham at the Stadium of Light on September 17.

Hibernian are currently managed by Jack Ross, who took over at Easter Road in November last year after being sacked by Sunderland a month earlier.
