Hearts close in on new signing, Celtic blow, Rangers eye midfielder, potential Hibs exit – Scottish transfers
We round up some of the main transfer stories this Monday morning across Scottish football
Hearts close in on Fraser loan
Hearts are expect to conclude the loan signing of Charlton Athletic midfielder Scott Fraser this week.
The 28-year-old former Dundee United youngster moved to England in 2018 and has spent time at Burton Albion, MK Dons,
Ipswich Town and the Addicks.
However, Fraser is keen to move back to Scotland and while Motherwell expressed an interest in him, the Jambos are set to
win the race for his signature.
Fraser is a creative midfielder and will give manager Steven Naismith more options in that area of the team following the
departures of Andy Halliday and Alex Lowry last week.
Hearts had also been pursuing a deal for Ross County midfielder Yan Dhanda, but any move to Tynecastle is more likely to
come on a pre-contract agreement in the summer.
Celtic’s Beck hopes over for now
The 21-year-old left-back Owen Beck of Liverpool was used as a substitute in the Reds’ 4-0 victory over Bournemouth,
putting an end to Celtic’s hopes of acquiring him during this transfer window.
Prior to being called back by the Anfield team, the defender made an impression while on loan at Dundee during the first
half of the season.
Due to FIFA regulations, Beck can only be used by Dundee and Liverpool for the remainder of the 2023–24 season because
he has played for two teams this season.
However, his performances at Dens Park are said to have attracted the attention of Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers, who is
looking for a left-back to rival Greg Taylor.
Rangers linked with Ivorian midfielder
According to reports, Rangers is getting closer to signing Ivorian midfielder Mohamed Diomande.
As of right now, Diomande, 22, is a player for Nordsjaelland of the Danish Superliga.
According to Danish media, he has been granted permission to leave the team’s training camp in the United States and finish
his transfer to Ibrox.
Rangers are trying to bolster their midfield options, particularly because Kieran Dowell is anticipated to miss several weeks
owing to injury.
Should Rangers sign Diomande, he would follow Wolves’ loaned striker Fabio Silva as manager Philippe Clement’s second
addition of the current transfer window.
Beale flak from Sunderland fans
Former Rangers manager Michael Beale is already coming under pressure from fans of his new club Sunderland.
Beale took over at the Stadium of Light last month but has won just two of his opening seven matches, with the Black Cats currently tenth in the Skybet Championship.
BealeOut has started to trend on social media outlet X, while sections of the Sunderland support sang “sacked in the morning” during their 3-0 defeat by Hull at the weekend.

Manager Nick Montgomery has warned the 31-year-old Welshman, who scored the game-winning goal in Saturday’s 1-0 victory against Forfar Athletic, that he is free to leave if the appropriate offer comes up.
