Celtic remains determined to secure Miguel Chaiwa, the 22-year-old midfielder from Hibernian, but they are hesitant to meet the club's £7m asking price. Reports indicate that Celtic is considering a £5m offer for the Zambian talent, as they continue their pursuit of strengthening the squad.

In addition to the Chaiwa situation, Celtic is expected to make a new bid for Zinedin Smajlovic, a centre-half from Sandefjord, after an initial £3.5m offer was rejected.

On another front, the opportunity for Celtic to extend the loan of striker Kelechi Iheanacho has lapsed, leaving him training independently in Nigeria.

Meanwhile, Rangers are facing interest from Real Betis for midfielder Nicolas Raskin, who may need to be replaced if Dani Ceballos departs. Additionally, Rangers are considering a goalkeeper swap with Hull City, potentially involving Jack Butland and Ivor Pandur.

Lastly, Aberdeen is nearing a deal for Moroccan striker Ayoub Mouloua, 23, from FUS Rabat, which could enhance their attacking options.
