Hartley: Set for Ashton Gate
Bristol City have won the race to sign former Celtic midfielder Paul Hartley, skysports.com understands.
Scotland international Hartley is available on a free transfer after seeing out his contract at Parkhead.
Greek side Iraklis Saloniki had made an offer for Hartley, but Robins boss Gary Johnson has moved quickly to lure the midfielder to Ashton Gate.

The 32-year-old is expected to sign a two-year deal with City as they look to build a side capable of challenging for promotion.
