Rangers are advancing on two midfield targets as they brace for Nicolas Raskin's exit. The Ibrox club leads the race for Ryan Fosso, the 23-year-old Cameroon international at Sturm Graz, while also stepping up pursuit of Vanja Dragojevic, Partizan Belgrade's 20-year-old captain. Both would reshape a midfield losing its Belgian anchor.
At Tynecastle, Cammy Devlin has held positive talks with new manager Wouter Vrancken over a contract extension, the 28-year-old Australia international weighing whether to stay or leave as a free agent. Meanwhile Brazilian Ageu, the club's record signing, targets a breakthrough season after injury wiped out most of his debut campaign.
Celtic's capture of Camilo Duran edges closer. The 24-year-old Qarabag winger has trained with the squad in Portugal, and the Azerbaijan embassy in London congratulated the Azerbaijani club on a record outgoing fee. Elsewhere, St Mirren secured Henry Fieldson from Queen's Park, Motherwell banked £800,000 from QPR for goalkeeper Calum Ward, and St Johnstone released trialist Max Anderson while keeping Liam McCarron and Bozo Mikulic on assessment.
The flurry signals a Premiership arms race: Rangers and Celtic loading up for Champions League qualifying, Hearts stabilising under Vrancken, and mid-table clubs cashing in on assets. English Championship interest in AEK Athens' James Penrice underscores Scottish talent value. Summer business will define whether the Old Firm gap widens or narrows.
