Ex-Newcastle striker eyed
Rangers still have the opportunity to bolster their offensive lineup if Dwight Gayle’s release from Stoke City results in him coming back to the surface. This week, Gayle became a free agent, and according to The Scottish Sun, a transfer north of the border may be in the works.
In January, Phillipe Clement was able to bolster his position up front thanks to two encouraging loan agreements.Oscar Cortes arrived from RC Lens on deadline day, and Fabio Silva joined from Wolves for the balance of the campaign.
However, being the only two teams who could afford his salary, the Rangers and Celtics might become more interested in Gayle if he becomes available. Celtic’s acquisition of Idah suggests that an Ibrox move is the more likely option.
Celtic icon could still leave
James Forrest remained at Celtic beyond deadline day but reports suggest he could still leave in an out of window deal. Football Insider reports that a number of Major League Soccer clubs are keeping an eye on the winger’s situation.
Forrest joined Celtic in 2002 and has been a member of the first team since 2009. Despite this, the 32-year-old has had difficulty playing consistently this season, making only two Premiership starts. He may potentially depart despite turning down many offers last month, the majority of which are said to have originated from the English Championship.
Players from Scotland can still relocate to the US as long as the transfer window is open until April 23. Parkhead has a deal with Forrest that expires in June 2025.
