Celtic Linked to Iheanacho and Saracchi as Rangers Eye Devlin

Celtic Exploring Return of Former Campers

Martin O’Neill’s side is being linked with a double return this summer after the club’s chief executive Michael Nicholson confirmed he has spoken with agents for striker Kelechi Iheanacho and left‑back Marcelo Saracchi. Both players spent time in Glasgow last season and are now reportedly on Celtic’s radar again. Meanwhile, Boca Juniors have put the 28‑year‑old Saracchi on their transfer list, opening the door for a move back to Scotland.

O’Neill has not commented on a separate rumour surrounding Reims midfielder Mory Gbane, who is also being watched by Celtic scouts. The club’s interest in the 25‑year‑old could become a backup option if the primary targets fail to materialise. A return for Iheanacho would add depth to a front line that already features several home‑grown talents.

Rangers Intensify Pursuit of Cammy Devlin

Rangers are stepping up their chase for free‑agent midfielder Cammy Devlin after the 28‑year‑old Australian confirmed his departure from Hearts. Devlin has thanked the Hearts support and indicated he is ready for a new challenge in the Scottish Premiership. The Glasgow side see Devlin as a midfield reinforcement following the departure of other candidates.

In a separate development, Rangers target Jens Hjerto‑Dahl is available for transfer from Tromsø, with head coach Jorgen Vik stating the Norwegian can leave for the right price. Rangers’ director of recruitment is said to be monitoring the situation closely, looking to add options in the middle of the park. The club’s increased activity suggests a focus on building a deeper squad ahead of the Europa League qualifiers.

Midfield Moves and Market Activity Across Scotland

Aberdeen have already turned a tidy profit after selling winger Topi Keskinen to Odense for over £1 million. The Finland international was only 23 when the deal was completed, and the Dundee club will enjoy a sizeable financial gain from the transaction. The influx of funds could help Aberdeen address their midfield needs.

Dundee’s head coach Steven Pressley says the club is still looking for five or six more players to complete his squad. Meanwhile, Hearts coach Wouter Vrancken stressed that his players need every minute they can get before the Champions League qualifying tie against Sturm Graz. The timing of the transfer window is adding pressure on all parties to act quickly.

Dundee United have accepted a bid from a Czech side for Republic of Ireland winger Will Ferry, allowing the 25‑year‑old to explore other options. Manager Jim Goodwin praised Ferri’s professionalism, noting his wish to seek a new challenge. The sale could open a spot for a fresh face in the United midfield.

Analyst Spotlight: Jason Kerr’s Potential at Hibernian

Former Easter Road defender Liam Fontaine believes fellow Scot Jason Kerr is set to flourish at Hibernian. The 25‑year‑old centre‑back has impressed in pre‑season and could become a key figure in Edinburgh’s backline. Fontaine’s endorsement adds weight to Hibs’ ambition of strengthening their defensive options.
