Queen's Park set to land Dane Murray on loan from Celtic

Dane Murray is set to join Queen’s Park on loan.

The Spiders are close to finalising a deal for the Celtic central defender.

Boss Callum Davidson has been looking to add to his backline options and Celtic are also keen for Murray to go out and get games.

The youngster has had a dreadful time with injury but is now back to full fitness.

The Hoops feel the 21-year-old would benefit from first-team exposure.

Queen’s hope to finalise a move before Friday's clash with Livingston.

Iraola speaks out on Solanke future

Andoni Iraola has spoken out on star man Dominic Solanke amid Tottenham interest.

Former Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou wants to take the Bournemouth man to Norht London.

But the Cherries boss feels his key striker is HAPPY at his current club.

It's obvious, Dom is the most important player for us. But the numbers are there. It's not [just] about the goals, he helps us a lot in the build-up, the press. He doesn't have big weaknesses for us, he makes us a much better team.

I feel like he's happy here. He's already training with the group. We cannot control everything, we don't know how the market is going to finish but whatever happens he is a top professional. He'll be helping the team, I hope, for a lot of years.

Tyrese Campbell 'decides' future amid Rangers links

Tyrese Campbell looks set to join Sheffield United.

Sky Sports report that the free agent striker - linked with Rangers - is undergoing a medical at the Blades ahead of making the move to the English Championship side.

He left Stoke City in the summer and has had a number of clubs keen on his services.

Dynamo deny Shaparenko sale rumours

Dynamo Kyiv have denied they are set to sell star man Mykola Shaparenko in the midst of a Champions League tussle with Rangers.

Reports in Turkey and Ukraine claimed that Trabzonspor had submitted a bid for the midfielder and that Dynamo were considering cashing in on the 25-year-old Ukrainian international ahead of their third round qualifier second leg against Philippe Clement's team next week.

Shaparenko was subbed during the 1-1 draw in Poland on Tuesday night, with Cyriel Dessers levelling for Rangers deep into stoppage time.

But Dynamo have strongly denied any offer from Trabzonspor and have assured fans that they will ONLY sell Shaparenko to a club from a top league who make serious offer, and that apparently doesn't include Turkish Super Lig sides.

That means he's almost certain to line up against the Light Blues at Hampden next Tuesday night to decide who progresses to the play-off round.

Celtic launch fresh Idah bid

Celtic are back in for Adam Idah with a fresh bid launched, according to a report.

The Hoops are in discussions with Norwich City as Brendan Rodgers looks to land his man.

The Parkhead gaffer made it clear the hitman was one he wanted back in green and white this summer with the Scottish champions in discussions with the English Championship outfit.

The Daily Mail are also reporting what the magic number could be to make the move happen.

Ten Hag ready to move when time is right

Erik ten Hag has opened up on Manchester United's transfer plans and admitted the club are 'ready' to move in the market when the time is right.

Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee have arrived at Old Trafford so far this summer with the Red Devils linked with a host of names coming in the door while the likes of Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Scott McTominay have been linked with the exit door.

When we have news we will announce it. You’ve seen the market it’s quite quiet but we have done two deals. It’s about timing and the market options. In the right moment do the right things.

I don’t go into details of where we are now with recruitment and what we’re working on. Of course, we know what we’re doing, we’re in a good position with the squad and wait with patience.

De Gea to Fiorentina 'in the works'

David De Gea could be ready for a return to football after a YEAR out.

Fiorentina are reportedly working ona deal to snap up the free agent.

Sky Italy say the ex-Manchester United goalkeepr is wanted on a one-year deal, with the option of a further season.

The 33-year-old hasn't had a club since leaving Old Trafford last summer.

Rangers transfer news latest

Despite needing funds to bankroll further incoming transfers, Ian Hagi could be allowed to leave Rangers for free this summer, according to a report.

The Romanian international, who spent last season on loan at La Liga outfit Alaves, still has a year left to run on his Ibrox contract but isn't part of Philippe Clement's plans going forward.

He's been earmarked as a potential sale to help boost the Belgian's transfer kitty with the Gers still on the lookout for a midfielder and a striker. It had been thought Hagi was close to a £3million return to Fiorentina, but there has been little developments on that front.

And now, despite impressing for his country at Euro 2024, Hagi could be allowed to depart for nothing, according to Tuttomercatoweb. That could help drum up more interest in the attacker, whilst also getting him off the wage bill to free up more space in the budget.

Genoa OUT of Miovski race

Genoa are OUT of the race to sign Bojan Miovski from Aberdeen.

Record Sport told earlier how the wanted hitman is keen to make the move to Champions Legaue bound Girona this summer with talks ongoing over a deal.

Sky Italy are now reporting that Genona had been keeping a close eye on developments surrounding the Dons' star man.

But they have now decided to look elsewhere in their hunt for a new striker.

No bids for McCowan

Dundee boss Tony Docherty insists the club have not received any offers for skipper Luke McCowan.

Reports earlier this week claimed that the Dens Park side had knocked back bids from both Hibernian and Bolton Wanderers for the 26-year-old, who was on the scoresheet in last Sunday's 2-2 draw against Dundee United in the derby.

But speaking to the media ahead of Saturday's clash with Hearts, Docherty says no bids have came their way.

Listen, Luke McCowan is our player and I have a special relationship with him. As with a lot of players in my squad, when you are doing well you are going to attract suitors.

But at the moment it's speculation. There are no bids that I am aware of or have been brought to my attention. It might have went to the club, but as manager it certainly there has been nothing brought to my attention.

Luke is a Dundee player, he is my captain and he does that every day and he is continuing to do that and until I am told different he will be my player and that relationship.

There is so much speculation. I get eight or nine names thrown at me every day but until anything is factual I won't get involved in it, and that is transfers in and out.

That's what happens in this industry, there is loads of rumour and speculation. I am quite objective. I think you deal with fact.

Salazar to Hearts timeline revealed

Steven Naismith expects to get confirmation of Andres Salazar's signing next week.

The Colombian international left back was granted a Governing Body Endorsem*nt (GB) at an SFA panel meeting on Thursday. That allows Hearts to move on to the next stage of admin, which is applying to the Home Office for a UK visa and work permit.

If those are granted, which is likely, then his loan deal with an option to buy from Atletico Nacional can be rubber stamped, making him the Jambos' 10th signing of the summer.

And the Tynecastle boss has also shared why it;s the right time for Kyosuke Tagawa to move on.

Doak linked with Celtic as part of double Liverpool raid

Ben Doak has been tipped with a potential return to Celtic this summer.

The Liverpool Echo state that the youngster has interest from the EPL in his services on loan for the campaign but the Scottish champions could throw their hat into the ring.

It comes alongside links to his Anfield team-mate Bobby Clark - who is also seeking a temporary exit to continue his development.

Fresh Idah bid could be on the way

Johannes Hoff Thorup has welcomed Adam Idah back into the Norwich fold, but admitted another bid COULD come in from Celtic for the striker.

Idah was disciplined by the club for missing a flight to a pre-season friendly against Hoffenheim in Germany, with speculation linking him with a permanent move to the Premiership champions thought to be a factor involved.

Brendan Rodgers wants to bring the Ireland international back to Parkhead after a successful loan stint last year, but the Canaries are standing firm on how much they want to let Idah go.

Reports have emerged that the Hoops are preparing a fresh offer for Idah, thought to be for £8million, with claims that previous attempts to land him for £4m and £6m were unsuccessful.

That could be enough to tempt Norwich into selling, although they are also braced for Leeds trying to prise Jonny Rowe away from Carrow Road.

Gray still looking to recruit

Hibs boss David Gray says he is still hoping to add to his squad despite a hive of recent activity at Easter Road.

Junior Hoilett, Nicky Cadden and Kieron Bowie have all arrived in Leith over the past few days, but the Hibees hero reveals there could yet be more faces through the door before the window slams shut on August 30.

He said:

We’re constantly looking to try and strengthen the squad if something comes up.

We know we need to be proactive and be ready.

Richarlison turns down Saudi approach

Brazil star Richarlison has revealed he that he recently knocked back an offer from from an unnmamed Saudi Arabian club in order to stay at Tottenham.

The 27-year-old - who has scored 15 goals in 66 matches for the Lilywhites since his arrival from Everton for £60million two years ago - told ESPN Brazil:

The money is high, but my dream is bigger. An offer has arrived, but my dream of playing for the Brazilian national team and the Premier League is louder. It's decided.

Keita surplus to requirements

Former Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita has been placed on the transfer list at Werder Bremen after a big fall out with the Budnesliga club.

The Guinea international only joined Bremen last summer but made just five appearances across his debut campaign - just one of those being starts.

Matters were then got made worse as he refused to board the team bus ahead of a clash with eventual champions Bayer Leverkusen in April, instead opting to return home.

DONE DEAL! McKenna heads to Spain

Las Palmas have confirmed the signing of Scott McKenna on a three year deal.

The Scotland international had been without a club since leaving Nottingham Forest earlier this summer, but has now joined the La Liga side, who include former Dark Blues teammate Oli McBurnie among their ranks.

Ex Aberdeen man McKenna spent the second half of last season at FC Copenhagen, where he got a taste of Champions League football.

Andres Salazar granted SFA GBE for Hearts switch

Andres Salazar has been granted a Governing Body Endorsem*nt ahead of his move to Hearts.

The Colombian international left back is set to sign a loan deal with the Jambos from Atletico nacional, which will include an option to buy.

He jetted into the captial last week to see Steven Naismith's side draw 0-0 with Rangers at Tynecastle.

Record Sport understands the SFA panel meeting at Hampden today presented no issues for the cpaital club or player.

This allows Hearts to now apply for a work permit, after which the transfer can be rubber stamped.

Miovski wants Girona move

Girona are locked in talks with Aberdeen over a move for Bojan Miovski, with the striker keen on a move to Spain.

The La Liga side have seen a bid knocked back for the North Macedonia international but are set to return with an improved offer.

Girona - who are part of the global City Group headed by Premier League champions Manchester City - can offer the 24-year-old Champions League football this season after a third place finish in La Liga.

Warriors to land Alston

Stenhousemuir are set to sign Blair Alston.

The League One new boys have agreed a deal for the experienced midfielder.

Alston has been a free agent since he left Partick Thistle in the summer.

The 32-year-old has held talks with several Scottish clubs but has agreed to join the Warriors.

Alston has a wealth of experience with the likes of Falkirk, St Johnstone, Hamilton, Falkirk and Kilmarnock.

Kierney honest on Arsenal future

The arrival of Riccardo Calafiori has keen Kieran Tierney fall further down the pecking order at Arsenal.

The likes of Jurrien Timber, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Jakub Kiwior and Takehiro Tomiyasu are also ahead of the Scotland star in the left back slot, with Tierney spending the whole of last season on loan at Real Sociedad in La Liga.

Back in May, the 27-year-old was very honest about his chances of getting back into the team on his return to the Emirates.

He said:

Look at the squad depth in that position now. They have Zinchenko, [Jurrien] Timber, [Takehiro] Tomiyasu, [Jakub] Kiwior. Four players can play there.

So if I go back and it's the same as before then I'm not silly, I know the chances are I'll be leaving.

But you never know in football. You get the rare case with [William] Saliba, where he came back after a couple of good seasons [out on loan] but you don't see it too often with someone who has played for four years, left, and then come back to play again.

Stranger things have happened. I could go back and there is a place for me. So I'm prepared for both.

Berra keen on Raith vacancy

Christophe Berra has reportedly thrown his name into the hat for the vacant job at Raith.

The Stark's Park club are on the hunt for a new manager after controversially sacking Ian Muray last week, and Football Scotland claim that former Hearts and Scotland star Berra is interested in the role.

The 39-year-old most recently had a spell in the US as interim head coach of Huntsville City FC in the MLS reserve league but has since returned to the UK to be closer to his family.

Bowie signs for Hibernian

Kieran Bowie has joined Hibs on a four-year deal from Fulham for a "significant" fee – which Record Sport understands is around half a million.

Delighted David Gray hailed the signing.

Kieron is an exciting Scottish talent, and we’re thrilled to bring him to the Club. He can play anywhere across the front three and his pace and power will give us an extra dimension going forward. He has all the attributes to be a success in this league. Players of Kieron’s ability and potential are always in high-demand, so to sign of player of his calibre shows the ambition that we’ve got here.

And Malky Mackay was beaming.

This is a transfer that we’ve been working on for some time and we’re delighted to get it done. Kieron has performed well since his breakthrough season with Raith and will continue to get better and better as his career develops. He’s a really ambitious young man and I look forward to seeing him in Hibs green and white.

Hummels tipped for shock Parkhead move

Mats Hummels has been put forward as a marquee transfer target for Celtic - and one former Hoops player admits there is a phone call with the player to be had.

Hummels, 35, has been linked with several clubs in the Premier League, Europe and in Saudi Arabia after leaving Borussia Dortmund, prompting one cheery Celtic radio caller to call on his team to make an approach.

The disparity in wage demands is likely to make any potential deal a challenge, but Jim Duffy reckons it's worth trying to prize the veteran to Parkhead.
