The most recent transfer news and rumours concerning Celtic and Rangers on Saturday morning
Celtic and Rangers are moving forward with their transfer business following a relatively quiet start to the summer season – but that might change soon as both teams try to finalise a pair of transactions.
The Hoops are on the verge of finalizing the signing of Callum Osman from Premier League club Fulham, while they have been granted permission to begin discussions with Swedish international winger Benjamin Nygren.
Meanwhile, Rangers are in talks with Israeli striker Dor Turgeman and Leicester City defender Conor Coady about a prospective move to Ibrox, while top scorer Cyriel Dessers is set to leave permanently. Here’s a look at some of the most recent transfer news for both teams.
Defender poised to reunite with ex-Rangers teammate
Aris Limassol hopes to reconnect Leon Balogun with his former Rangers defense partner, Connor Goldson, this summer.
The Nigerian international is a free agent after the Ibrox club dismissed him at the end of last season when his contract expired. And the 36-year-old is apparently in talks to team up with Goldson again on the Mediterranean island.
Goldson joined the ambitious Cypriot side last summer after making over 300 appearances in six years with Govan, where he frequently partnered Balogun in central defence.
Aris hopes to mount a title challenge next season after losing the trophy to Pafos FC the previous season. They are also looking at signing the former Wigan Athletic and QPR centre-half.
Balogun and Goldson have played together in both of Rangers‘ recent cup victories: the Scottish Cup final against Hearts in 2022 and the League Cup final against Aberdeen the following year.
Celtic ‘on verge’ of recruiting Championship talent for £50,000.
Celtic have one eye on the future, with rumors suggesting the Scottish champions are close to making their second signing of the summer transfer season.
