Scottish Football Transfer News: Rangers to make offers for duo, Celtic exodus to continue with interest in £2m signing, Hearts star wanted, trio plan bid for Ibrox star, Dundee United sign international
While top-flight football won’t return until the 17th there is still plenty of fixtures taking place up and down the country. Whether it is the Championship title race hotting up as Raith Rovers head to Inverness CT, or League One where Montrose, Cove Rangers and Airdireonians battle it out at the top with Queen’s Park and Falkirk trailing behind.
Dropping out of the SPFL, there are a number of Lowland and Highland League games taking place and that’s the case right down the pyramid. So anyone fan of a Premiership club wanting to get their football fix, should try to take in a local game and help boost the crowd towards that 500 limit.
The focus, for the 12 top-flight clubs, remains on the transfer window with so much having taken place already. Nathan Patterson’s move to Everton in a record-breaking deal for Rangers will be hard to beat. But Hibs have added a trio of signings, just like Celtic at the start of the window. For the Parkhead side, it appears the main focus for now has been bringing down the size of the squad, although they have been linked with a move for Martin Boyle who could cost as much as £3million.
