RANGERS could be set to finalise three deals this week, according to the Daily Record.
Pedro Caixinha is hoping to make fellow countryman Bruno Alves his first Ibrox signing, but the defender wouldn’t be available for early Europa League qualifiers due to being on international duty.
A deal for Aberdeen captain Ryan Jack should also be tied up soon, while talks are ongoing with Norwich over Graham Dorrans.
One player who won’t be heading to Ibrox, however, is Motherwell’s Louis Moult. It’s understood that Caixinha has cooled his interest in the striker.
Celtic’s Kieran Tierney has been named in the 23-man Scotland squad for the upcoming clash against England.
The defender, who suffered a broken jaw after being caught by Aberdeen’s Jayden Stockley during the Scottish Cup Final, has been a standout for the Hoops this season and played in Scotland’s last match against Slovenia.
Another Celtic standout, Patrick Roberts, bids farewell to the club as his loan deal from Manchester City comes to an end.
Whatever happens it has been a pleasure to play for this club! Thanks to the staff, players & fans for an unforgettable season. Hail Hail ?? pic.twitter.com/z0sP87bWU0
