Scottish Football Giants Search for Talent in the Transfer Market: A Look at Celtic and Rangers’ Approach

Scottish football giants Celtic and Rangers are both in the market for new players as they prepare for the upcoming season. Celtic has made an offer of £7.6m for Fenerbahce’s goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic, while Ipswich Town is also showing interest in the 29-year-old player. Meanwhile, Rangers may need to wait until the end of pre-season to bring back 22-year-old forward Abdallah Sima, on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion, as the Premier League club wants to give their new manager time to assess the squad.

Celtic has completed a couple of undisclosed transfer deals and is prepared to spend money on experienced players to strengthen their title-winning squad. Sandy Stewart, assistant manager at Chenaiyin, suggests that Scottish clubs should explore the Indian transfer market due to improvements in standards as a result of investments in grass roots and youth football in the country.

Lawrence Shankland is still a potential option for Rangers to boost their attacking options, with Heart of Midlothian willing to consider a significant offer for the 28-year-old striker. Both teams are adopting a transfer strategy similar to Celtic’s recent approach, focusing on acquiring moderately priced players who can be developed and potentially sold for a profit in the future.
