A new manager at Celtic means plenty of links concerning players incoming and some on the way out while Rangers are also seeking to pad out their squad with some quality additions.

One former Aberdeen manager is seeking a swift return to management while there could be more than one high-profile exit from Celtic Park this summer with a move to Greece on the cards for one individual.
