Hibernian ace Derek Riordan is a target for Burnley and Lokomotiv Moscow, skysports.com understands.

Riordan has recaptured his best form this season after a disastrous two-year spell at Celtic.

The versatile forward has netted 11 goals for Hibs this term and his performances have not gone unnoticed.

Lokomotiv and Burnley have held a long-term interest in Riordan and have tried to sign the Scottish international in the past.

The duo are believed to have rekindled their interest in Riordan with the 26-year-old catching the eye in recent weeks with goals against Hearts and Rangers.

Hibs would be loath to lose Riordan after only bringing him back to Easter Road last summer, but could struggle to reject a sizeable offer for the player.
