Bologna has initiated talks with Rangers regarding the transfer of Nico Raskin, 25, while new Ibrox manager Derek McInnes expresses interest in bringing Lewis Ferguson back to Rangers in a potential swap deal.

In addition, Hull City has reportedly made an offer valued between £12-14 million for Raskin, though Rangers holds a higher valuation of around £20 million for the Belgium international.

Rangers have also confirmed a deal to re-sign Ross McCrorie from Bristol City for approximately £1.5 million. The 28-year-old defender has completed his medical and is set to sign a three-year contract with an option for an additional year.

On another note, Rangers have been priced out of pursuing Bryan Reynolds from Westerlo, as Rennes has presented a competitive bid of £3.3 million for the 24-year-old right-back.

Meanwhile, Celtic is in discussions to bring back Marcelo Saracchi, but the 28-year-old left-back prefers a permanent move instead of another loan, contingent upon Celtic matching Boca Juniors' asking price of £1.3 million. Former defender Charlie Mulgrew has voiced concerns regarding Celtic's transfer inactivity, suggesting the need for at least six new signings.

In further developments, Islam Chesnokov, a winger from Heart of Midlothian, is expected to depart after just six months, with Aktobe allegedly securing his signature. Additionally, Hearts aims to sign Cormac Daly, a promising attacking midfielder recently released by Nottingham Forest.

Dundee is close to finalizing a new goalkeeper ahead of their upcoming match in Hungary, according to head coach Steven Pressley.

Lastly, Kieron Bowie is drawing interest from Cagliari with a £9 million fee suggested, while Angus Gunn, 30, has emerged as a target for Manchester United following his release from Nottingham Forest. Jack Hendry, a Scotland centre-half, has agreed to a two-year deal with Al-Ettifaq, pending an announcement after the World Cup.
