Rangers face a changing transfer landscape as Hull City's promotion to the Premier League complicates their pursuit of Leeds United forward Joe Gelhardt, who scored 14 goals on loan at Hull. Meanwhile, the Scottish giants reportedly can sign Hearts striker Lawrence Shankland for free, while Celtic's attempts to secure Marcelo Saracchi permanently from Boca Juniors have fallen through, forcing the left-back to return to Argentina.

Celtic maintain control over striker Kelechi Iheanacho as the 29-year-old Nigeria international confirmed his desire to stay at Parkhead, with the club holding an option to extend his contract by 12 months. Former Celtic striker Frank McAvennie claims Reo Hatate's absence stems from a fallout with interim manager Martin O'Neill, while the club could pursue 21-year-old forward Alfie Devine if Preston North End fails to activate his £4.5m buyout clause by June 1.

Former Rangers manager Steven Gerrard's departure impacted Juninho Bacuna's development at Ibrox, with the midfielder now focusing on helping Curacao prepare for their World Cup warm-up against Scotland. Elsewhere, Robbie Keane has resigned as Ferencvaros boss after finishing second in the Hungarian top flight, stating "the time is right for me to move on."
