Celtic Agree to Pay Camilo Duran Fee as Rangers Hold Youssef Chermiti

Celtic complete Duran deal

Celtic have moved to secure Qarabag forward Camilo Duran by meeting the Azerbaijani club’s valuation. The 24‑year‑old will join the Scottish champions after they agreed to cover the full asking fee. Duran’s arrival adds depth to Celtic’s attacking options as the club looks to strengthen its European qualification hopes.

His transfer marks a notable splash in the summer window, showing Celtic’s willingness to invest in a player known for his pace and finishing. Duran’s experience in a strong European league should provide immediate competition inside the box. The move also signals Celtic’s focus on bolstering the squad ahead of the upcoming campaign.

Rangers hold firm on Chermiti

Rangers have rejected any overtures to sell 22‑year‑old forward Youssef Chermiti, despite interest from Lyon. Chermiti’s impressive season for the Glasgow side has attracted attention from a French club eager to add firepower. The Ibrox club’s decision to keep him underscores their confidence in his ability to lead the line next term.

Keeping Chermiti also preserves a valuable asset that could fetch a premium if Rangers ever choose to part ways later. His development under recent management suggests he can handle higher expectations. The stance reinforces Rangers’ strategy of building a sustainable core rather than selling key players on the cheap.

Rangers boost youth talent with Rankin

Rangers have handed a first‑professional contract to 16‑year‑old Luca Rankin, son of former Dundee United and Hibernian midfielder John Rankin. The young attacker joins the Light Blues after impressing in youth academies and showcasing promising skill. This deal highlights Rangers’ commitment to nurturing home‑grown talent and integrating it into the senior set‑up.

Rankin’s promotion adds depth to the reserves and offers a glimpse of future potential for fans. Having a seasoned coach in the family likely aided his development and the club’s recruitment. The contract also serves as a building block for Rangers’ long‑term planning in a competitive league.

Hearts add Fagan‑Walcott after Championship interest

Hearts have signed 24‑year‑old Malachi Fagan‑Walcott after he received offers from English Championship and League One clubs. The attacker arrived following a period where speculation linked him with moves south of the border. His goalscoring record and work ethic make him a solid addition for Hearts’ attack.

Fagan‑Walcott’s secret to finding the net, as he later revealed, lies in his intense pre‑match preparation and patience inside the box. The Hearts front‑man will compete for places alongside established strikers, increasing options for the manager. This signing reflects Hearts’ proactive approach in securing talent ahead of the new season.
