Celtic eye Harrison Ashby, Rangers man set for Hoops switch, Israel interest in Celtic man, Hearts & Hibs latest

It's transfer deadline day and it’s shaping up to be a busy Tuesday in Scotland.

Scottish Premiership rumour mill

There could yet be incomings and outgoings at Celtic, Hearts, Hibs, and Rangers while there is a strong likelihood of movement in both directions elsewhere.

Celtic are still seeking to add to their squad with Giorgos Giakoumakis set to make the move from VVV-Venlo while Ryan Christie and Odsonne Edouard look likely to exit – but could a former Rangers player be making the move across Glasgow too?

Borna Barisic’s future is uncertain after the Rangers defender appeared to be saying his goodbyes at the end of Sunday’s 1-0 win against Celtic.

Hibs will be more concerned with adding to their squad than losing any key players while Robbie Neilson still wants to strengthen his Hearts squad.

Ashby linked with Celtic

Celtic could look to bring in West Ham's Scotland Under-21 right-back Harrison Ashby. The 19-year-old reportedly has the option to join the Hoops in order to get more gametime. He has made two senior appearances for the Hammers and is described as a pacy, attacking full-back with good positional sense and a strong tackle. (Various)

Gers braced for interest – but keep hold of key man

Rangers are braced for potential interest in the likes of Glen Kamara and Alfredo Morelos - but despite Borna Barisic appearing to say his goodbyes after Sunday’s victory over Celtic, it has been reported that the Croatian internationalist is not bound for Roma. Nathan Patterson will remain in Glasgow after Everton had two bids knocked back and moved onto other targets. (Various)

Dickson to make Hoops switch?

Released Rangers youngster Ciaran Dickson could be set to move to Celtic – after pictures emerged of the midfielder at Parkhead holding up a Celtic shirt. The 19-year-old’s Ibrox exit was described as a “shock” – but he could follow Liam Burt in crossing the city from one rival to another. (Glasgow Live)

Israel interest in Griffiths

A club in Israel is reportedly interested in out-of-favour Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths but Dundee boss James McPake has urged the Dens Park hierarchy to go all out in a bid to bring the former Dark Blues favourite back to Tayside. Griffiths reportedly has reservations about moving overseas and has been linked heavily with a move to Dens in recent days. (The Sun)

Palace close in on Edouard

Odsonne Edouard could join Crystal Palace today for a final fee of £16.3 million, according to Italian transfer czar Fabrizio Romano. The Celtic striker has been linked with a host of clubs including Rubin Kazan and Bordeaux but the Eagles appear frontrunners for his services. (Fabrizio Romano)

Hibs set to bring in Wood

Hibs are set to announce the loan signing of highly-rated Middlesbrough and England Under-20 defender Nathan Wood. The 19-year-old watched Saturday’s 2-0 win over Livingston as he underwent a medical and is set to bolster Jack Ross’ defensive options. (Evening News)

Cherries hopeful of beating Burnley to Christie

Bournemouth remain hopeful of securing Ryan Christie on a permanent deal despite late interest in the Scotland internationalist from English Premier League side Burnley.

Jota and Giakoumakis set for Hoops switch

Celtic are set to bring in Giorgos Giakoumakis from VVV-Venlo and Benfica wideman Jota to replace Edouard and Christie respectively. Giakoumakis has been linked for some time after top-scoring in the Dutch Eredivisie last season while highly-rated winger Jota has featured for the Lisbon side and Real Valladolid on loan and is set to make the move to Glasgow on a season-long loan deal in order to further his development.
