Rangers are rekindling interest in AEK Athens left-back James Penrice, who previously played for Hearts and Livingston. The club, known for its historic rivalry with Celtic, is targeting the Scotland international as part of a broader strategy to strengthen its defense. Meanwhile, Hibernian midfielder Martin Boyle faces an expiring contract, with former Aberdeen and Hibs winger Junior Hoilett hinting he wouldn’t be surprised if Boyle joins Rangers this summer.

Lewis Ferguson, currently thriving at Bologna, has expressed openness to offers from Europe’s top five leagues, per his agent Bill McMurdo. This comes as St Johnstone, newly promoted to the Scottish Premiership, plans to increase its transfer budget by 5-10% compared to last season, according to owner Adam Webb. The club aims to solidify its position in the league after avoiding relegation.

Elie Youan’s departure from Hibernian seems imminent, with his barber’s social media post teasing his exit: "Last haircut for @e.youan, four years deep." This follows speculation about Boyle’s potential move. Additionally, Rangers legend Kris Boyd predicted Celtic will win the league ahead of Hearts, but only if Martin O’Neill’s team defeats Motherwell on Wednesday.
