The battle for supremacy in the Scottish Premiership rages on with Celtic snatching the top spot from St Johnstone after a hard-fought victory. Rangers’ upcoming match against Dundee has been postponed, giving their arch-rivals a narrow lead with just one point separating the two powerhouses. As the race for the title intensifies, both teams are gearing up for crucial fixtures, setting the stage for a thrilling showdown.
The fight for the championship promises to be a nail-biter, with the eventual winner not only claiming glory but also attracting top talent during the summer transfer window. Let’s delve into the latest transfer rumors surrounding Rangers and Celtic.
Speculation surrounds Rangers’ Borna Barišić as his contract at Ibrox nears its end, fueling talks of a potential move to Turkish side Trabzonspor. Recent reports suggest that negotiations are underway, with Barišić reportedly open to the move. The left-back is poised to become Trabzonspor’s first signing, marking the end of his six-year tenure with Rangers.
Meanwhile, Celtic are eyeing a replacement for veteran goalkeeper Joe Hart, who is set to retire at the season’s end. Liverpool’s Caoimhin Kelleher is on their radar, seeking regular playing time away from Anfield. However, with stiff competition for Kelleher’s signature, the Hoops are exploring other options, including Trabzonspor’s Uğurcan Çakır, who comes with a hefty price tag of £7.5 million. Despite interest from Celtic, Çakır’s strong bond with his current club poses a significant hurdle in any potential transfer.
The captain’s deep-rooted connection to Trabzonspor complicates matters, as he expresses his lifelong dream of representing the Black Sea Storm. With his heart set on his boyhood club, luring him away could prove to be a challenging task for interested suitors.
