Report: Celtic and Rangers keen to snap up 24-yr-old long-term target on a massive bargain
Celtic and Rangers have been linked with a move for the Feyenoord midfielder Renato Tapia. The midfielder will be a free agent in June and the Scottish giants are looking to snap him up on a bargain as per reports (via Sportwitness). The 24-year-old defensive midfielder can play as a centre back as well and he could prove to be a decent addition to Rangers or Celtic. Both clubs could use some depth in their midfield and Tapia would make sense as a signing, especially on a free. It will be interesting to see if the Scottish giants manage to convince the player to join either of them this summer. A move to Scotland would be an interesting challenge for the midfielder. He has done well for the Dutch side so far and he will fancy his chances of shining in Scotland as well. Celtic and Rangers a...
Report: Rangers discussing payment methods ahead of summer move for 21-yr-old
Rangers are interested in signing Ianis Hagi permanently this summer. According to reports via Scottish Sun, the Ibrox outfit are currently in talks with Genk regarding payment methods. The Scottish outfit can sign Hagi for a fee of around £4.5m this summer. The 21-year-old has had an impressive loan spell at Rangers so far and it is no surprise that they want to keep him at the club for the long term. Despite making just 12 appearances so far, Hagi has shown that he can be a match-winner for Steven Gerrard’s side. He has proven himself in the European games as well. In order to challenge Celtic for the title next season, Gerrard must keep players like Hagi at the club. The Romanian will add creativity and goals to the side. He has already adapted to Scottish football and Hagi can have a c...
Lennon claims Celtic star’s lockdown decision ‘bodes very, very well’
Celtic have wrapped up nine-in-a-row following the decision of the SPFL to award them the Scottish Premiership title based on a points-per-game basis. Making it ten consecutive league titles is top of the Hoops’ plans for next season, and manager Neil Lennon will look to keep the core of his squad and further strengthen it during the summer and winter transfer windows. French striker Odsonne Edouard played a huge role in Celtic’s victorious league campaign, bagging 22 goals in 27 appearances, and suitors are expected to come after him this summer. However, Lennon isn’t looking forward to his exit just yet, with his decision to remain in Glasgow during the lockdown boding well with him. “I will have a lock on the doors,” the Celtic boss joked when asked about Edouard potentially leaving. “B...
‘Go and join them’ – Noel Whelan urges playmaker to join Rangers this summer
Noel Whelan has urged the Liverpool midfielder Pedro Chirivella to join Rangers this summer. The Spaniard has been a part of the club’s youth team for a while now and he has been given some first team chances this season. Chirivella has managed to impress in the cup games and he has been linked with a move away from Anfield this summer. The midfielder is out of contract in June and it will be interesting to see if he signs an extension with Liverpool. Whelan said to Football Insider: “You could be in a worse position. He could try and kick start his career at Rangers and if he does well he can come back to the Premier League as a ready-made player in a few years’ time. It is tough because it is difficult to turn down a five-year deal at a club like Liverpool but I am not sure if he is goin...
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. According to reports from Teamtalk, both Celtic and Rangers are weighing up a move to sign the Zulte Waregem attacker this summer. 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...
Tottenham star reveals he watched Celtic UCL games because of 22y/o
Tottenham Hotspur left-back Danny Rose has revealed that he used to watch Celtic’s Champions League games following Brendan Rodgers’ glowing appraisal of Kieran Tierney. The Leicester City boss was the Hoops’ manager prior to joining the Foxes, and he once dubbed the Scotland international as one of the best left-backs on the continent. Rodgers’ remarks caught the attention of Rose, and the England international was keen to see Tierney in action on TV. Celtic were regular in the Champions League group stages at the time, holding Manchester City to a 3-3 draw at Parkhead in September 2016. “I tried to watch the Celtic games in the Champions League when they were on the television,” Rose said on The Lockdown Tactics podcast. “Brendan Rodgers said at that time that Kieran was one of the best ...

However, the player wants first-team football and West Ham might not be able to fulfill his demands. On the other hand, Celtic could provide him with some first-team opportunities in Scotland. The Scottish giants can include him in their cup games and allow him some minutes in the league as...
‘Do the sporting thing’ – Celtic legend Chris Sutton sends message to Rangers
Celtic legend Chris Sutton has asked Rangers to do the sporting thing and congratulate the Hoops for emerging as the Scottish Premiership league winners for the season following the SPFL’s decision. Neil Lennon’s men are 13 points clear at the top of the table and are the best team in the land on a points-per-game basis. However, Rangers had insisted on resuming the campaign as they fancied their chances of catching up with their Old Firm rivals with a game in hand and eight rounds of games to go. The Ibrox outfit are yet to respond on social media to Celtic’s victory, with their players and manager Steven Gerrard yet to comment too. It remains to be seen what Rangers’ next decision will be as they were tipped to take their case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport or the civil courts aft...
Ex-Celtic hitman Moussa Dembele brutally mocks Rangers following SPFL title decision
Former Celtic striker Moussa Dembele has reacted to Celtic’s emergence as the Scottish Premiership title winners for the season, mocking Rangers for celebrating like they won the league following last December’s Old Firm win.

However, Rangers lost momentum when action resumed in January while Celtic secured 12 wins and a draw in their next 13 games. The Hoops’ two-point lead at the end of the year was extended to a 13-point lead in a timescale of less than two months, and they ...
