Skysports.com understands Spartak Nalchik are the latest club eyeing Hibernian striker Derek Riordan.

Riordan has become the latest SPL import to be linked with a move to the Russian Premier League with mid-table Spartak said to be keen on the Scottish international's services.

Premier League duo Blackpool and Wigan have also been tracking the 27-year-old front man, who scored against the Seasiders in a pre-season friendly.

Interest in the former Celtic forward has been strong in the Championship too, with both Derby and Barnsley also monitoring the Edinburgh-born marksman.

Should Riordan make the switch east, he will be playing in the same league as former Celtic winger Aiden McGeady, who joined Spartak Moscow earlier this month.
