Rangers are closing in on a £6m deal for Hull City goalkeeper Ivor Pandur, with Jack Butland poised to move in the opposite direction for £3m. The 26-year-old Croatian international has completed his medical while with the national team squad, clearing the way for this exchange that helps Hull comply with Financial Fair Play regulations after their Premier League promotion.

Aberdeen have rejected multiple approaches for Topi Keskinen from Hungarian side Debrecen, maintaining they want at least the £800,000 they paid HJK Helsinki. The Finland winger remains open to a move amid interest from other clubs. Meanwhile, Dundee United accepted a £1.8m bid from a Czech top-flight club for Will Ferry after Charlton Athletic and Blackburn failed to match the offer.

Motherwell have turned down seven-figure offers from Turkish side Samsunspor for midfielder Elliot Watt, seeking a minimum of £1.7m for the 26-year-old. Aberdeen striker Kusini Yengi has offers from Japanese clubs but prefers to stay in Scotland after his loan spell at Cerezo Osaka. Rangers will also need to decide on Ben Godfrey's future, with a £3.8m permanent option available next summer.

This transfer activity reflects the financial reality facing promoted Premier League clubs who must balance squad building with PSR compliance. Rangers are strengthening their goalkeeping position while several Scottish Premiership sides face key decisions on player valuations and potential exits.
