Scottish Transfer Roundup: Celtic and Rangers Rumor Mill

Celtic join the chase for an Elche striker, while speculation continues to swirl around potential incomings and departures at Ibrox.

Celtic have entered the race for 21-year-old forward Alvaro Rodriguez, who has impressed at Elche following his permanent move from Real Madrid. The Hoops join a competitive field including Feyenoord, Ajax, and PSV Eindhoven.

At Rangers, the situation remains fluid. While there is interest in midfielder Dan Neil, reports claiming a deal is close have been countered by club sources. Similarly, talk of a return for Josh Windass from Wrexham has been dismissed by Ibrox insiders, despite ongoing speculation.

Meanwhile, the agent for Marcelo Saracchi confirmed the defender has returned to Boca Juniors following his loan spell at Celtic, as the Scottish champions opted not to pursue a permanent transfer. Additionally, Lech Poznan is hoping to secure a permanent deal for winger Luis Palma from Celtic this week.

The future of Dundee defender Luke Graham remains a major talking point. Despite reported interest from 43 clubs, including Rangers, the Scottish side has yet to receive a formal offer for the 22-year-old.
