REPORTS linking Cherries with a loan move for Blackburn Rovers midfielder Tom Cairney are without substance, the Daily Echo understands.

The Sunday Sun today speculated that the 24-year-old could make the temporary switch to Dean Court once Rovers have played their FA Cup quarter-final with Liverpool next weekend.

Cairney, a former Scotland under-21 international, went close to scoring having been utilised as a 79th-minute substitute in Blackburn’s 0-0 draw at Dean Court yesterday.

He has made 33 appearances for the Ewood Park outfit so far this season.
