Midfielder Colin Healy is expected to undergo a medical and complete his loan move to Falkirk later today. Some reports yesterday claimed the switch had already gone through but Bairns boss Eddie May says the formalities are still to be completed.

Speaking yesterday, May said: "A deal has been agreed with Colin. He will have his medical and hopefully be training with us tomorrow. I don't envisage any problems.

“I'm delighted to get him. We have been tracking him for a long time and we have thankfully got the money to bring him in after the club came up with the finances.

"He is a very focused individual, very dedicated to succeeding. I don't just want to add numbers here, if I can bring in decent quality I will and Colin has that ability.

“He will play for us at Celtic on Saturday. I'm sure he'll be looking forward to going back to Parkhead, even though he played for Celtic a long time ago. But that shows he has the ability to play at a very good level."

Healy, who was also targeted by Livingstone and a number of other clubs, will join Falkirk on loan until the end of the season.

The Irishman, who joined the Blues for €100,000 from Cork City in the summer, has made only five appearances for Town this season.

Billy_Whizz added 09:28 - Jan 13 One of RK's early mistakes unfortunately. Couldn't of helped getting back in the 1st team against Palace and us losing! Way down the pecking order and out of the club in the Summer no doubt.

hampstead_blue added 14:38 - Jan 13 peakyboy...I have to strongly disagree. At that money he was definately worth a punt. He might come back better or (as previously stated) be sold for a profit... We had, and still have, nothing to lose.

Swailsey added 17:14 - Jan 13 hampstead_blue - well put. it's madness to claim he's one of town's worst ever buys! he cost nothing and played reasonably well for us. a loan spell might do him good. since he wasn't bailing out cork (and also mentions Healy in a positive way in his autobiography), he must have seen something in him.
