Two Rangers exits lined up, Celtic deal imminent, Hearts explain striker move – Scottish transfers

Tavernier Rangers latest Trabzonspor are expected to return with an improved for James Tavernier after their initial bid to sign the free-scoring Rangers captain was rejected, according to reports. The Turkish club have already signed former Gers players Borna Barisic and John Lundstram on free transfers, and are intent on adding a third member of the Light Blues side that reached the 2022 Europa League final.

Tavernier, 32, has scored an incredible 125 goals as a right-back in nine years since moving to Glasgow from Wigan, but Rangers are willing to move the Englishman if their valuation is fulfilled. However, it was reported on Friday that they declined Trabzonspor’s initial offer. Manager Philippe Clement stated last weekend, at the conclusion of the club’s training camp in the Netherlands, that Rangers would consider bids for practically all of their players.

Rangers interest is verified.
New PSV signings Couhaib Driouech has confirmed that Rangers was one of the clubs that attempted to sign him during the transfer window. The 22-year-old moved from Exclesior to Eindhoven for a low sum after impressing for the club despite being relegated from the Eredivisie. However, he has stated that he has other possibilities for a move, including Ibrox.

“There was a lot of interest, and it was also very concrete,” Driouech added. “Rangers, Sevilla, and Sporting Lisbon entered. Those are all fantastic clubs in beautiful divisions, but I chose to go with PSV.”

Hagi poised to leave Rangers

Ianis Hagi’s agency thinks that the Romanian is about to leave the Ibrox club this summer. Hagi still has two years on his contract and spent last season on loan at Alaves, although despite representing Romania in the Euros, his future is unlikely to be with Govan.

Giovanni Becali, Hagi’s representative, stated: “Ianis has two years remaining on his contract with Glasgow Rangers. I’m not sure when or if he’ll show up (for preseason training). He is about to go. Now, I’ve heard and continue to hear that other teams are interested in him. Rangers may wish

to get something back from him. Ianis does not earn a low wage with them. “We’ll see; it’s time.”

Celtic keeper set to depart

According to the Daily Record, Celtic goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist is to leave the club after being granted permission to talk with Rapid Bucharest. Following the arrivals of Kasper Schmeichel and Viljami Sinisalo, the Swiss have fallen further down the pecking order and are now considered surplus to requirements.

Rapid Bucharest, headed by former Celtic manager Neil Lennon, are looking for a new No. 1 ahead of the domestic season, which begins next month.

Kirk is a Saint

St Johnstone have finalized the acquisition of Makenzie Kirk, a promising Hearts striker. The 20-year-old joins McDiarmid Park for an unknown amount and is the son of Saints first-team coach Andy Kirk.

“Makenzie is at the age where he wants to play first-team football,” stated Hearts manager Steven Naismith. “The battle at Hearts for a striker’s position is strong. St Johnstone has come in and gave Makenzie a platform to attempt and take that next step, and the club is pleased with the offer, therefore he departs for Perth with our gratitude for his time here and best wishes for the future.”
