Scottish football came back into action over the weekend but it was a disappointing Easter holiday for both Edinburgh teams as Hibs suffered a 3-1 loss to Rangers and Hearts were held to a 1-1 draw by Kilmarnock at Tynecastle. Let’s take a look at what else is making headlines in the world of Scottish football.

In other news, a Celtic player is eagerly anticipating a potential showdown with Lionel Messi on the international stage. Meanwhile, reports suggesting a Rangers player could be departing the club have been branded as ‘fake news’.

Alistair Johnston is set to represent Canada at the 2024 Copa America, where they are scheduled to face Lionel Messi’s Argentina in their first match. Speaking to Goal, Johnston expressed his excitement for the upcoming challenge, saying, “It’s thrilling to have qualified, and facing Argentina in the opening match will be quite the experience. I hope Messi stays on the opposite side of the pitch!”

Regarding transfer speculations, rumors linking Rangers’ Ianis Hagi to Galatasaray have been refuted. A social media post from journalist Emanuel Rosu mentioned that there have been no discussions between Hagi and Galatasaray at this stage. Rosu clarified, “Galatasaray admires Ianis due to his Hagi connection, but there have been no concrete moves from any club to acquire him from Rangers. The article mentioned in Aksam is a few days old and based on Romanian sources. As of now, there are no ongoing talks between Hagi and Galatasaray.”
