With the uncertainty over their managerial situation resolved, Celtic can now focus on rebuilding their squad in the upcoming summer transfer window. Martin O'Neill has signed a one-year deal after talks with Dermot Desmond, and speculation about new arrivals at Lennoxtown is already intense. The latest reported target is Rodez wide man Taïryk Arconte, who helped the Ligue 2 club reach the brink of promotion to France's top tier last month.
Rangers Transfer Activity
Across Glasgow, some Rangers fans have expressed displeasure over the club's new away kit, but the transfer business at Ibrox has been more positively received. After securing Lawrence Shankland, Rangers are also monitoring Motherwell's Elliot Watt and Luke Graham, while goalkeeper Pierce Charles has addressed his future. Rangers are reportedly demanding a substantial £25 million for striker Youssef Chermiti, with several clubs showing interest.
Hearts and Aberdeen Moves
Hearts have agreed a deal with York City for defender Malachi Fagan-Walcott after signing Calvin Miller from Falkirk for a six-figure fee. Josh McPake and MJ Kamson Kamara have signed pre-contracts, and French midfielder Tom Renaud is expected to join. Aberdeen secured their fourth summer signing with the capture of Leyton Orient defender Dan Happe. They are close to a fifth, with Record Sport revealing that former St Mirren star Connor Ronan is poised to return to Scotland. On the exit front, several players including Topi Keskinen and Nicolas Milanovic could be shown the door, with Record Sport breaking the news that the former is attracting interest from Denmark.
