The transfer window is officially open for business, and Scottish clubs are already making moves. Celtic are reportedly targeting Bosnian midfielders Benjamin Tahirovic and Ivan Basic, while Rangers await the appointment of Derek McInnes. Dundee United have won the race for Northern Irish defender Michael Forbes, and Aberdeen have added Dan Happe and Conor Ronan. Elsewhere, Marc Cucurella is linked with Real Madrid, and Bernardo Silva could join Jose Mourinho's side.
Dundee United to Sign Forbes
Dundee United are set to sign Northern Ireland international Michael Forbes as their latest summer signing. The Tannadice club beat off interest from St Johnstone, English League One, and the Netherlands to land the central defender. The 22-year-old, subject to a medical, is expected to sign a two-year deal with a 12-month club option. Forbes will leave West Ham United at the end of the month and hopes regular playing time in the Scottish Premiership will boost his international prospects.
Celtic Eye Double Swoop
Celtic could sign two Bosnia and Herzegovina stars, with playmaker Ivan Basic now a reported target alongside Benjamin Tahirovic. The Hoops have been linked with both players, who started their country's opening World Cup game against Canada. Basic, 24, plays for Astana in Kazakhstan and is being closely watched by Celtic scouts.
Maeda Praised by Postecoglou
Ange Postecoglou turned ITV's World Cup coverage into a Celtic rave review, praising Daizen Maeda as 'freakish'. Postecoglou, who signed Maeda for Celtic in 2022, highlighted the forward's impact despite Japan missing Kaoru Mitoma through injury.
