Stephen Welsh is set to exit Celtic early as the Parkside club prepares for a summer rebuild. Meanwhile, Celtic and Rangers are locked in a transfer battle for the signature of BK Hacken's Danish midfielder Silas Andersen, with both Scottish giants monitoring the player's uncertain future following recent comments from the club's sporting director.

Celtic risk losing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain if they delay their managerial appointment, while Rangers are willing to part ways with Nedim Bajrami as their clear-out intensifies. The Hoops also face uncertainty over Oskar Wojcik, who won't leave KS Cracovia unless guaranteed regular football at his next club.

Aberdeen expect to complete the signing of Colorado Rapids midfielder Connor Ronan when the transfer window opens. St Johnstone have already secured Matty Todd from Dunfermline Athletic. Steve Clarke confirmed his Scotland players will focus on raising Sir Kenny Dalglish's spirits at the World Cup following the Celtic legend's cancer diagnosis.
