Celtic have opened summer talks with former Hibernian striker Kieron Bowie after Hellas Verona fell from Serie A. The Glasgow club, already securing four players, aims to slot Bowie into a squad that missed the Champions League spot last season. His pace and goal‑scoring record make him an immediate fit for the Rangers‑style attack in the 2024 campaign this summer.

Meanwhile, Hearts eye a deeper squad with up to six new arrivals before the window closes, while likely shedding one or two players. Manager Derek McInnes, who is tipped to replace Aberdeen’s boss, declined a move to Rangers after a late change by chairman Dave King during contract talks. McInnes’ decision keeps Hearts’ title push on track for the season.

Cove Rangers plan to loan more Aberdeen youngsters next season, while former Tynecastle stalwarts John McGlynn and Steven Pressley are unlikely to fill the void if McInnes departs. Luke Graham of Dundee, however, tops Rangers’ wishlist once McInnes takes the helm. These moves signal a reshuffle that could reshape the Scottish Premiership’s competitive balance for this season and fans will.
