An overview of the most important Celtic and Rangers transfer rumours
As they get ready for a pivotal month in the season that has the power to make or break a team’s hopes of winning, Rangers and Celtic are both creating wish lists for the January transfer window.
After enduring a challenging first half of the season, the Light Blues are anticipated to resume their energetic play as they attempt to close the 11-point deficit with champions Celtic.
Rangers were strongly connected to Josh Doig, a former Scotland Under-21 player, over January and the summer as the Glasgow team contemplated letting Ridvan Yilmaz go.
Towards the end of the transfer window, there was little talk of a move for the former Hibs player, and the defender, who was born in Edinburgh, decided to stay in Serie B with Sassuolo of Italy.
“To be fair, after my first ever transfer window when there was loads of chat, I kind of let it get to my head and stuff,” Doig said to Rangers News in response to the speculation surrounding his future.
I believe I told my dad and agency that they could handle it after that.
“Until the sale was completed, I didn’t want to hear anything. I’m not really interested unless I have to go sign a document.
Naturally, my friends would talk about it and other things, but I’m not sure how close it actually got.
It would be dishonest of me to claim that there were formal transfer talks. To be honest, I’m not sure. Although I am aware that there were conversations and other events, I was unable to sit down and tell you because I honestly don’t know. I would simply be telling lies.
A Celtic scheme to acquire a former Sheffield United supporter
According to Caught Offside, Celtic has indicated interest in signing James McAtee, a midfielder for Manchester City who is now out of favour, during the January transfer window.
Despite having a solid start to life in Europe and leading the Premiership standings, the Hoops are still eager to strengthen their midfield in order to fight on all fronts.
Because of his remarkable work ethic, inventiveness, and goal-scoring ability, McAtee was a major fan favourite at Bramall Lane and had two incredibly successful loan stints at Sheffield United.
Nevertheless, despite the squad’s recent poor performance, he has just played one minute for Pep Guardiola’s team in the Premier League this season. However, earlier in the Champions League campaign, he demonstrated his abilities with a well-taken goal in a 4-0 victory over Slovan Bratislava.
As they want to generate money for defensive midfield reinforcements following star Rodri’s long-term ACL injury, Caught Offside reports that Manchester City may consider offers of about £20 million for McAtee.
