Rangers and Celtic faced rare setbacks in their recent league matches, sparking more heat in the intense race for the Premiership title. Both Glasgow giants are eager to bounce back in their upcoming fixtures, with Celtic taking on St Johnstone at home while Rangers travel to Dundee.
Despite the ongoing title battle, both clubs are already looking ahead to the summer transfer window, making necessary preparations. Here’s a roundup of the latest updates and critical developments from Ibrox and Celtic Park.
Rangers are eyeing a top striker as their primary target for the upcoming transfer window, regardless of the decision on Fabio Silva. Manager Philippe Clement envisions having two top strikers leading the team next season, making it a top priority for the club. While Silva, on loan from Wolves, remains a promising talent at just 21 years old, the club’s summer plans will not hinge on his future.
Meanwhile, Celtic’s Japanese center back Yuki Kobayashi faces an uncertain future after an approach from Kashima Antlers was turned down. The 23-year-old, signed under Ange Postecoglou, has struggled for opportunities since Brendan Rodgers took charge. Despite interest from clubs like HJK and MLS sides Dallas and Real Salt Lake, Celtic has dismissed all recent inquiries regarding Kobayashi.
