Whoa, stop the bus! Riordan for Houston Dynamo? 

If media reports are to be believed, Scotsman Derek Riordan may be moving to the MLS with the Houston Dynamo.

The Scotland and Hibernian star is out of contract this week at the Edinburgh SPL side but would be a great acquisition for the Texas side, giving them a 20-plus goals a season striker.

With only three wins in 12 MLS outings this season, the Dynamo could do with an additional proven goalscorer to bolster the forward line, and Riordan could certainly do that for them as he certainly fits into that category.

English side Blackburn Rovers may scupper any deal being thrashed out though as the Scottish Daily Record reported today that there has been an interest shown in the striker as well.

Should Houston and Riordan finalise a deal it won't take place until the MLS transfer window opens in July which would give Riordan an unexpectedly long summer break from soccer.

Hibs, Houston and Blackburn have yet to respond to correspondence from us.
