Scott Flinders

Crystal Palace keeper Scott Flinders has returned to the club after his loan with Falkirk expired.

Flinders made nine first-team appearances for the Bairns after signing for the Scottish Premier League outfit in August.

Falkirk managing director George Craig said: "Scott has returned to Crystal Palace and we are in discussions about whether we can bring in another keeper."

Flinders, who Peter Taylor signed for £1million from Barnsley in July 2006, had stints on loan at Yeovil Town and Blackpool last season and is out of contract this summer.

The 22-year-old has been told by Eagles boss Neil Warnock he is not part of his plans for the future.
