Celtic look to sign striker

Celtic have made an offer to Hull City for striker Abel Hernandez. The Uruguayan has played only eight times this season because of injury but has still managed to average nearly a goal a game, hitting seven thus far. The 27-year-old has previously admitted he will not be signing a new deal and is currently free to negotiate a pre-contract with other clubs. (Football Insider)

Weir: Celtic win created unrealistic expectations

Celtic could be set to land Abel Hernandez.

Former Rangers assistant manager David Weir has claimed that the Ibrox club’s Scottish Cup semi-final win over Celtic in April 2016 served only to create unreasonable expectations. Weir was No 2 to Mark Warburton when the Englishman guided his team to a penalty shootout success over the Parkhead side at Hampden. (The Scotsman)

David Weir believes the Rangers job isn’t as attractive as it once was. The former captain and assistant says “one of the most attractive jobs in British football” has become a “bit of a hotseat” and a “revolving door” in recent years. (Daily Record)

Fixtures show Hibs ‘no respect’

The league’s governing body wished to avoid an Old Firm title-decider and put the fixture between Glasgow’s two clubs on the second weekend after the split. However, former Hibs star Ivan Sproule believes Hibs are more than capable of delaying Celtic’s title party. (Daily Record)

Hearts unhappy at fixture imbalance

Hearts have expressed their disappointment at being handed three away matches on the Ladbrokes Premiership’s post-split fixture list. The Tynecastle side begin their top-six programme at Ibrox against Rangers. Having already visited the Glasgow venue twice this season, it ensures Craig Levein’s side will end the campaign with 18 home matches and 20 away. (The Scotsman)
