Falkirk Defender Targeted Thursday, 26th Jan 2012 08:30 Falkirk central defender Murray Wallace is understood to be one of the five players the Blues have targeted with a bid for the highly-rated 19-year-old believed to have been turned down. Brighton have had an offer of £300,000 accepted, according to national newspaper reports this morning, with Town, Swansea, Charlton, Norwich, Newcastle and Huddersfield all said to have watched the former Rangers trainee in action over the Christmas period. The central defender made his Bairns debut in August three years after joining them after his release from Ibrox and has impressed in his 21 senior starts and two sub appearances, scoring two goals. Brighton are reportedly trying to complete the deal as soon as possible in order to prevent other clubs from gazumping them and are willing to loan the left-sided defender back to the Scottish First Division side for the rest of the season. However, the acceptance of their offer may merely have started a bidding war amongst the other interested parties. Elsewhere in Scotland, former Town striker Sam Parkin has joined Queen of the South after leaving St Johnstone last week.
