Celtic are back in the hunt for Bodo/Glimt striker Kasper Hogh, while Kyogo Furuhashi has indicated he would welcome a return to Parkhead. The Hoops are intensifying their search for a forward after being turned down by Kelechi Iheanacho. Manager Martin O'Neill had targeted Hogh in January, but the move fell through when Bodo/Glimt reached the Champions League knockout stages. O'Neill also attempted to bring Kyogo back on loan, but the former fan favourite opted to fight for his place at Birmingham City. However, both players are now available: Bodo are ready to cash in on Hogh, seeking over £7 million for the Dane, while Kyogo has been told he is not part of Birmingham manager Chris Davies' plans for the new season and will be allowed to leave. Sources in Japan suggest the 31-year-old has his heart set on a second stint with Celtic but would need to negotiate a settlement with Birmingham, as he has two years left on his lucrative contract.
Rangers Push for Dragojevic
Rangers are finalising a £4.6 million deal for Partizan Belgrade captain Vanja Dragojevic, with the club eager to have him registered in time for Wednesday's friendly against St Etienne. Reports suggesting Rangers have also stepped up their pursuit of Tromso midfielder Jens Hjerto-Dahl are false, according to sources close to the player. Record Sport revealed on Thursday that while Rangers had an agreement for Dragojevic, their hopes of signing the Norwegian Under-21 playmaker were fading amid competition from Cardiff City. A story emerged 24 hours later claiming Rangers and Tromso had agreed a £6.6 million package, but sources have dismissed these reports, insisting Rangers have yet to meet the Norwegian club's asking price.
Motherwell Set for Record Fee

The Miller deal was potentially worth over £5 million, but the Just transfer is expected to be even larger. Welsh sources have confirmed the deal is expected to be finalised within 48 hours, subject to a medical and personal terms. The New Zealand international has been given permission to travel to South Wales to complete the move.
Hearts and Hibs Make Moves

Both Edinburgh clubs are preparing for the new season with significant squad changes.
