With Scotland out of Euro 2024, fans have now turned their to the return of domestic football with Rangers, Celtic and their Scottish Premiership rivals continue to build their squads for the 2024-25 campaigns.
Rangers are looking for a rebuild, while Celtic are aiming to continue their dominance in the Scottish Premiership. It appears both Old Firm sides are on the lookout for a striker this summer in order to bolster their squads as part of their summer business, with the Hoops expecting departures and Philippe Clement searching for a striker to rival Cyriel Dessers as the club’s number nine.
While supporters of the Glasgow rivals will hope their club pushes the boat out and captures a big money signing, there are also a number of smart free transfer options available that could prove to smart long term - and short term - options for the Glasgow rivals.
Here are 15 free agent strikers available to Rangers and Celtic this summer.
13. Gary Madine
Most definitely a short term option, but an experienced one all the same. The 6ft 4 target man is a real handful for defences and has bagged over 100 career goals playing for Blackpool, Sheffield Wednesday and Bolton Wanderers.

14. Andreas Weimann
The 32-year-old wing forward featured for Austria this summer at Euro 2024 after spending the second half of the campaign on loan at West Bromwich Albion. With his contract expiring at Bristol City last month, Weimann is likely to have plenty suitors after scoring 50 league goals for the Robins over the last six seasons. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
15. Wesley
The giant centre-forward was a regular goal-scorer in the Belgian Pro League for Club Brugge and was snapped up by Aston Villa for a fee of £22 million in 2019 but has struggled to make any impact. Capped once by Brazil, he spent last season with Stoke City in the second tier of English football but was unable to make an impact. He's still only 27 though and has time to turn his career around.
