Rangers Gain Upper Hand on…

Rangers have gained an advantage over Sheffield United in their pursuit of 24-year-old midfielder Dan Neil from Sunderland. This move could potentially allow 31-year-old Joe Rothwell to transfer from Rangers to the Blades. (The Star)

Rangers are also showing interest in Hajduk Split’s defensive midfielder Niko Sigur. However, the 22-year-old Canada international seems to favor a transfer to Celtic, who may rekindle negotiations. (Ekrem Konur on X)

Barry Ferguson has dismissed the idea of his nephew, Lewis, moving to Celtic from Bologna this month. Instead, the former Rangers interim manager suggested he would prefer a “cheeky loan” for the 26-year-old Scotland midfielder to Ibrox. (Glasgow Times)

Rangers can leverage their shared ownership arrangement with Leeds United if they choose to pursue a deal for Celtic target Joel Piroe. The 26-year-old forward has had limited playing time since the team’s promotion to the Premier League. (Football Insider)
