Rangers move in on double capture

Rangers have moved closure to agreeing deals for former Ibrox stopper Allan McGregor and Burnley midfielder Scott Arfied.

Miller and Wallace seek answers

Rangers chiefs have ignored a string of emails from suspended pair Kenny Miller and Lee Wallace and the players’ association asking for clarification over their exodus from Ibrox. PFA Scotland have stepped in to try and provide answers for the duo, who’ve been told to stay away from the rest of the squad, but contact with Rangers so far has been described as being “dismissive and minimal”.

Maclaren could become free agent

Hibs’ prospects of signing Jamie Maclaren on a permanent basis will become significantly enhanced over the next few weeks in the highly possible event that the on-loan striker’s parent club are relegated to Germany’s third tier. The Australian is contracted to Bundesliga 2 side Darmstadt 98 until summer 2020 but has a clause in his deal which means he will automatically become a free agent if they are demoted to Germany’s 3.Liga.

Levein sees Mulraney as ‘project’

Tierney: Beating Rangers for title would be a dream

Kieran Tierney was still a month short of his second birthday when Rangers clinched the league title back in 1999. But while the Celtic left-back has no personal recollection of the dramatic events which saw his club endure one of their most traumatic Old Firm defeats, he is acutely aware of just how sweet it would be for the support if those circumstances are turned on their head this Sunday.
