Report: Celtic and Rangers weighing up move for 26-year-old attacker
Glasgow Rangers are interested in bringing former Premier League player Saido Berahino to Ibrox in the summer transfer window. However, the Gers are likely to face strong competition from arch-rivals Celtic.

The report claims that both the clubs had scouted the attacking midfielder before the suspension of football due to the global health crisis. The 26-year-old attacker showed a lot of promise when he first broke into the team. But his bad attitude – arrested for drunk-driving twice and agitating transfer move to Tottenham in 2015 – has had a bad effect on his career in England. Berahino scored 20 goals in 2014-15 but he failed to fulfil his po...
