The Scottish Premiership resumes this weekend, and Celtic have the opportunity to widen the gap between themselves and others who have fallen behind in this season’s title fight. The Hoops are currently nine points ahead of their nearest rivals, Aberdeen, who were competing with the reigning champions at the start of the season.
Rangers have a large gap to close on Celtic and are now two points behind the Dons. They will host Dundee at Ibrox on Saturday, as the Bhoys prepare for an away match against Dundee United on Sunday.
As we approach the new gameweek and the January transfer window, let’s look at some of the most recent Glasgow transfer news.
Rangers to demand ‘massive offer’ to sell 22-year-old
Hamza Igamane hasn’t been with Rangers for six months, but he’s already generating interest from clubs looking to do business with him in the coming year. Everton are said to be interested in the goalscorer as they aim to strengthen their attack and replace Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who is on his way out.
However, it will be difficult to lure Igamane away from Ibrox. According to TEAMtalk, reaching an agreement in January will be challenging. Rangers believe the 22-year-old ‘has great potential’ and will only become better.
According to the article, it ‘would take a large offer’ to get the Gers to sell up in January.
Celtic target will leave current club in 2025
Arsenal have made a decision on Kieran Tierney’s future and have ‘decided against’ extending his current deal in London. That’s according to David Ornstein, who says the Scotland international will quit the club in the summer when his contract expires.
Tierney will be free to enter pre-contract deals with non-English clubs once the January market opens, and he may even depart permanently halfway through the season. Celtic have long been linked with the versatile defender, so the news that they may be able to get him for free is quite pleasing.
Tierney has been linked with a return to his boyhood club for nearly a year. After climbing through the ranks and spending four years as a senior with the Hoops, he joins Arsenal in 2019 for a reputed £25 million.
