Liam Burt is a guest of Aberdeen, hoping to earn a playing contract at Pittodrie.

The midfielder spent last season at Celtic but had the odds stacked against him with Neil Lennon having almost 10 midfielders to select from.

Being released this summer put the 21-year-old on the market at a time when clubs have been cutting budgets with a glut of players scrapping to get back into the game.

Calvin Miller recently signed up for Harrogate Town while further afield Jozo Simunovic is still searching for a club with the season well underway.

Burt made a couple of appearances in the Championship under Mark Warburton but his Ibrox hopes were slipping when he went on loan to Alloa and Dumbarton.

Tonight, the Daily Record reports:

Former Celtic and Rangers midfielder Liam Burt is at Pittodrie for Aberdeen’s Premiership clash with Hamilton this evening as he continues his hunt for a club.

The 21-year-old is in attendance as a guest of Aberdeen after leaving the Hoops in the summer.

Burt had been training with Barnsley last month – scoring three times in friendlies against Sheffield Wednesday and Derby – but The Tykes decided against a deal. He also had a short stint on trial at Sunderland.

As a free agent Burt can sign for a club outwith the transfer window but seven months on from Lockdown and following stints on trial he’ll need to hit the ground running to secure a deal from Aberdeen.
