Celtic midfielder Arne Engels remained unfazed after Nottingham Forest's January transfer interest failed to materialize, according to manager Martin O'Neill. The Belgian international's commitment to the Scottish champions has been praised, with O'Neill noting Engels 'never made an issue' of the speculation surrounding his future.

Meanwhile, Hearts are using the international break to integrate fringe players and those returning from injury into match scenarios. The Edinburgh club's coaching staff view this period as crucial for squad development and maintaining competitive sharpness during the fixture pause.

In other Scottish football news, Rangers are planning to include Findlay Curtis in their first-team plans next season. The 19-year-old, currently on loan at Kilmarnock and recently called up to the Scotland squad, represents the Glasgow club's investment in youth development. However, Rangers' on-loan Tottenham winger Mikey Moore has withdrawn from England Under-19 duty due to medical reasons.
