Leicester City and Swansea City are leading the race to sign John Souttar, with the 29-year-old Scotland centre-half certain to end his four years with Rangers.

Everton, whose Scotland right-back, Nathan Patterson, is drawing strong interest from clubs in Germany, Italy and Spain, are preparing to firm up their interest in Celtic 27-year-old Alistair Johnston. Mika Baur has informed Paderborn of his desire to join Celtic this summer after the 22-year-old midfielder agreed personal terms with the Scottish champions. Mika Baur missed Paderborn's friendly with Southampon on Wednesday, but the German club's claim that the Celtic target was ill is not accurate.
Hibernian forward Tegan Bowie has joined Serie A side Parma Calcio on a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee after the Italian club triggered a release clause in her contract. Bowie was part of the Hibs academy in her youth before joining Celtic but the winger returned to Edinburgh in 2023 where she has cemented herself as a key member of the squad. The 22-year-old made 101 appearances and scored nine goals for Hibs.

Tottenham have confirmed that full-back Andy Robertson will wear number three during his time at the club. This is common for left-backs but it is not the Scotland international's go-to number; at his past three clubs (Liverpool, Hull City and Dundee United), Robertson opted to wear number 26.
Dundee United 25-year-old Will Ferry is on a list of potential left-back options Celtic manager Martin O'Neill is considering. Celtic are in talks with AEK Athens' former Hearts left-back, James Penrice, with the 27-year-old open to a return to Scotland even though he would be back-up to Kieran Tierney. James Penrice's representatives say Rangers are not interested in the AEK Athens right-back but there is a small window of opportunity for Celtic to sign the Scot.
