New data from the CIES Football Observatory indicates a sharp rise in the transfer value of Rangers defender Olwethu Makhanya. Just months after the club secured the South African’s services from Philadelphia Union for £3m, his estimated market value has climbed to £12m.

Elsewhere in Scotland, new national team head coach Sebastien Pocognoli has addressed questions regarding Napoli’s Scott McTominay. Pocognoli praised the midfielder as a versatile top player, noting he is currently recovering from a minor heart procedure.

At Celtic, the disappointment of their Champions League play-off exit remains a talking point. Midfielder Benjamin Nygren admitted that the squad is still processing the defeat against LASK.

Meanwhile, former player Connor Goldson has been vocal about his time at Ibrox, criticizing Rangers for their handling of former captain James Tavernier's departure.
