Elyounoussi on Celtic’s radar

MOLDE striker Mohamed Elyounoussi - who scored twice against the Hoops in the Europa League - is reportedly a target for Celtic.

The 21-year-old forward, capped five times by Norway, could cost the Hoops around £2 million, and the fact his agent also represents Stefan Johansen and Ronny Deila could prove instrumental in Celtic’s pursuit.

Tore Pedersen refused to be drawn on whether the striker, who can also play on either wing, was a target for Celtic. (Scottish Sun)

But Warburton believes Rangers will get their men over the next couple of days. (The Scotsman)

Houston warns McGinn over ‘going down easily’

FALKIRK boss Peter Houston incurred the wrath of Hibs fans by accusing John McGinn of going down too easily.

After the match, Houston said: “John’s got to be careful he doesn’t become a player in the headlines for going down easily and I think that’s what he did.” (BBC Sport)
