Confirmed: Celtic to sign Ari Muric from Burnley as perfect Joe Hart replacement

and that match is an Old

Firm rivalry in the Scottish Cup final on Saturday.

After defeating St. Mirren 3-2 on Saturday, Brendan Rodgers’ team raised the Scottish Premiership trophy and

opened an eight-point lead over their bitter rivals.

Rangers will be eager to dampen the spirits of their rivals and win some hardware of their own, but Celtic will

surely have the upper hand going into their encounter at Hampden Park on Saturday. And GlasgowWorld has

compiled some of the most recent news about both teams in advance of what promises to be an intense match.

Hart substitution

As they prepare for life beyond Joe Hart, Celtic has been linked to a deal for Ari Muric. According to The

Scottish Sun, Burnley’s goalie is well-liked by the management at Parkhead and may consider leaving Turf

Moor after James Trafford’s £19 million signing last summer caused him to plummet in the hierarchy.

After a three-year tenure with Celtic, Hart has announced that he would retire from football following this

Saturday’s Scottish Cup final. Since the announcement in February, several replacements have been linked to a

transfer to Glasgow; the most recent being Kosovo international Muric.

The Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin has also attracted Celtic’s attention; alternative candidates include

former England international Alex McCarthy. This summer, McCarthy’s contract with Southampton expires,

and he may become a free agent.

Souttar teasing

As he and his Leicester City teammates celebrated their promotion to the Premier League, Harry Souttar—a

reported summer target—was seen sporting a vintage Rangers shirt. With just three league games under his

belt, Souttar was linked to a summer transfer to Ibrox by Enzo Maresca’s team.

After wrapping up the Championship championship, most of the Foxes stars have gone on holiday and standout

player Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall uploaded a picture of himself alongside Conor Coady, Harry Winks, Marc

Albrighton and Souttar. And it is the latter’s attire that has drawn attention, as there is what seems to be a home

Rangers 1997–1999 shirt visible.
