Owls eye old and new

Morning reports have speculated that Paul Sturrock is interested in bringing Holt back to Hillsborough following the forward’s sensational form for the Moss Rose outfit this season.

Carlisle-born Holt has hit 21 goals this season for Steve Parkin’s men and has come on leaps and bounds since his ill-fated spell in S6 where he only score four times over two seasons.

Rochdale even rejected an earlier bid from Swansea City of £75,000 to keep the striker at the club although morning press reports state that he is heading back to the Steel City, where he was never really given a fair crack of the whip under then-manager Chris Turner.

McNamee on the other hand has been a standout performer for Livingstone this season in the SPL and has attracted not only Wednesday’s interest but that of Brighton, Derby, Hearts, Rangers and Plymouth.

The right-back has had a stint south of the border before when he signed for Blackburn as a youngster in 1999 but he admits he will want to see the season out with Livi before making any decision on his future.
