Celtic eye Serie A…

Celtic are intensifying their hunt for midfield reinforcements as Rangers ready themselves for a potential high-profile exit.

Celtic plan to ramp up their pursuit of Torino’s 22-year-old midfielder Gvidas Gineitis after Tuesday’s Champions League play-off second leg away to LASK.

Regardless of what happens in Linz, Celtic are poised to complete a £7m deal for 21-year-old Bosnian World Cup talent Ermin Mahmic from Slovan Liberec.

Celtic have lodged a £7.7m bid for Frosinone winger Fares Ghedjemis, who is also attracting interest from Rangers, Monaco and Besiktas.

Rangers have received early enquiries from clubs in England, Italy and Spain about Nico Raskin, and are prepared to sell the Belgian midfielder—who has two years left on his contract—if their asking price is met.

PSV Eindhoven have agreed to transfer winger Couhaib Driouech to Celta Vigo after his proposed move to Rangers collapsed.

Scottish FA chief football officer Craig Mulholland has pledged to push clubs to field more homegrown players to boost revenues and strengthen the national team.
