According to The Athletic’s Phil Hay, Leeds United are looking to sign youth players at Celtic and Rangers this summer as they look to strengthen their academy ahead of next season. The Whites under-23s are a point away from winning Premier League 2 Division Two title, and are preparing for life in the top tier next season. Leeds brought in Joe Gelhardt, Crysencio Summerville, Sam Greenwood and Cody Drameh to their under-23s last summer, and the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union will see Premier League clubs raid Scottish Premiership academies this summer. Rangers and Celtic boast of some of the best youth players in Europe, and the Elland Road outfit will be keen to recruit the best of the bunch. The likes of Billy Gilmour and Kieran Tierney have inspired Scottish Premiership ...
Rangers and Southampton are interested in landing the signature of Newcastle United winger Jacob Murphy during the summer transfer window, Football Insider reports.

As per Football Insider, Murphy’s contract with the Magpies expires in June next year, contradicting the timescale stated by other sources.

Rangers are currently trying to crown a title-winning season by maintaining their unbeaten record and completing the double in the Scottish Cup. They also enjoyed reasonable success in Europe, reaching the last 16 of the Europa League before being knocked out by Slavia Prague. This was one step further than the likes of Leicester City, who are currently third in the Premier League, and Lille who are top of Ligue 1 above Paris Saint-Germain. This success has once again brought the prying eyes of Premier League clubs back to the most successful club in Scotland. Ryan Kent has been linked with Leeds United, Glen Kamara to Arsenal, Filip Helander to Aston Villa and Alfredo Morelos to Arsenal. It’s not only English clubs who are watching the title-winning team, with Lazio eyeing a summer m...

Rangers are interested in signing Jonson Clarke-Harris as a potential replacement for Alfredo Morelos. The 26-year-old has done well for Peterborough United, scoring 27 goals for the League One club this season.

Rangers midfielder Glenn Kamara is in talks with the Scottish Premiership club regarding a new deal. The 25-year-old midfielder has two years left on his current contract, and he claims that talks over a new deal could advance over the summer. He said (via Daily Record): “There’s been some talks. The season’s been good – obviously, we’ve just become champions. “It’s been a success so far. I still have two years left on my contract, and there’s still time over the summer to see what will happen.” Rangers signed the midfielder for a fee of around £50,000 from Dundee FC, and he has proven to be an exceptional bargain for the Ibrox outfit. Kamara helped Rangers win the title this season and has established himself as a key player for manager Steven Gerrard. Rangers fans will certainl...
‘Enough is enough’. Glen Kamara’s impassioned statement about the racist abuse he received during Rangers’ Europa League tie against Slavia Prague at Ibrox had a familiar feel to it. For starters, note that we didn’t use the phrase ‘alleged racist abuse’ in that opening sentence. Let no-one be in any doubt here. Slavia’s Ondrej Kudela did not cover his mouth to say, ‘you’re a f****** guy’. As excuses go, it’s probably on a par with Johnny Cochrane’s infamous glove-related ‘if it doesn’t fit, you must acquit’ defence of OJ Simpson during the 1990s. The fact that Kupela cupped his mouth, coupled with Kamara’s incredulous reaction, tells you everything you need to know. The question now is what happens next? Football has been littered with instances of this nature for far too long now. Unfort...
