Falkirk have moved to sign left‑back Scott Tanser from St Mirren, signalling a push for defensive reinforcement. Meanwhile 34‑year‑old midfielder Sivert Heltne Nilsen quit Aberdeen after Haugesund presented a three‑year deal that includes a future coaching role and guaranteed starts in his preferred central midfield slot. Tanser, known for his overlapping runs, would add pace to Falkirk’s back line.

Goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo finally broke into Celtic’s first team when Kasper Schmeichel’s injury exposed a dip in form, ending a shelved promise of more minutes. Former Celtic coach Darren O'Dea argued that winger Ben Gannon‑Doak, despite debuting at 16, is being restrained by a “duty of care”. Haiti’s squad received a £2m government bonus after qualifying for the World Cup, where they will meet Scotland.

Hearts are waiting on scan results for defender Oisin McEntee after a suspected hamstring strain, while Hibs midfielder Josh Mulligan races against a shrinking recovery window; coach David Gray believes a comeback remains possible before season’s end. These injury updates force both clubs to adjust line‑ups and could dictate their playoff hopes.
