Robert Snodgrass, the 20 year-old former Livingston striker who is now a free agent, is reported to have been in talks with Leeds manager, Gary McAllister.

Robert Snodgrass

Scottish U-21 international Snodgrass has been with Livingston since signing as a trainee in July 2003. Livingston, relegated from the SPL in 2005-06, finished mid-table in Scottish Division 1 last season.

Snodgrass played 16 games for Livvy in their Scottish Premier League season (2005-06), scoring three times. In 2005-06 he scored four times in 25 Scottish Premier League matches.

He spent the latter half of the 2006-07 season on loan at Scottish Division 2 side Stirling, where he netted 7 goals in 15 appearances.

Last year, playing as a left winger he managed 10 goals in 37 games and also picked up a red card in an bad tempered game against Clyde which saw three red cards in total.

However, the red card was his first and only one of his career and seems to have been an aberration. Other than that indiscretion, he picked up just four bookings during the rest of the season and he does seem to have averaged just one booking every ten games or so through his career.

Because of his age Livingston would be entitled to compensation from any club that signed him.

Snodgrass is just one of many Scottish players linked with, or without, cause to Leeds United during the close season because of McAllister’s standing in the Scottish game.
