Coaching Changes and Player Transfers Heat Up in Scottish Football

Rangers' Danny Rohl is reportedly on Bayer Leverkusen's shortlist for a new head coach position. However, Bild indicates that Crystal Palace's Oliver Glasner remains the top choice, with Girona's Michel also in the running. Despite the interest, Rohl is not at risk of being sacked by Rangers and is unlikely to leave for Wolfsburg, especially after their relegation from the Bundesliga. Union Berlin and Bayer Leverkusen may present more appealing options for the 37-year-old amid growing European interest. In managerial news, Kieran McKenna has reaffirmed his commitment to Ipswich Town following their promotion to the Premier League. He plans to reject any advances from Celtic, Crystal Palace, or Fulham this summer. On the player front, several clubs have shown interest in winger Cameron Ashia. Celtic, Fulham, and Rangers have made initial enquiries, while Burnley, Cardiff City, Hoffenheim, Ipswich Town, Sheffield United, and Stuttgart are also monitoring the 21-year-old's situation. He could be available for as low as £500,000, despite Huddersfield Town extending his contract by a year. Additionally, Celtic forward Daizen Maeda has become a target for multiple Premier League clubs as he nears a departure from Glasgow this summer. Meanwhile, Lech Poznan has submitted a cut-price £2m offer for Celtic's Luis Palma after his loan spell with the Polish club. Lastly, Shin Yamada is returning to Celtic after his loan with Preussen Munster, as head coach Alois Schwartz plans a squad overhaul following their relegation to Germany's third tier.
