RANGERS are still hunting for a Director of Football, and the Daily Record reports that Norwich’s Joe Savage is a top target.

The Canaries’ head of recruitment worked under Alex Neil as an analyst at Hamilton before moving south with the former Accies boss.

He could see a familiar face around Ibrox, with a deal to bring Graham Dorrans to his boyhood club understood to be close to completion.

The Evening Express also reports that former Aberdeen captain Ryan Jack should complete his move to Rangers later today.


Hibs have landed Celtic defender Efe Ambrose on a two-year deal, say the Daily Mail.

The Nigerian spent the second half of last season on loan at Easter Road.


Also heading out of Celtic is scouting chief David Moss, who has joined newly promoted Huddersfield as Head of Football Operations.

Hoops defender Kieran Tierney, meanwhile, looks set to be fitted with a protective gumshield so he can play in Scotland’s clash with England next Saturday (Daily Record)


The Sun reports that Hearts are targeting former Dundee striker Greg Stewart on a season-long loan deal.

MK Dons and Aberdeen are also keeping tabs on the 27-year-old, who has made just six starts since moving for £500,000 last summer.

In an incredible interview with The Sun, Dundee United’s Wato Kuate says he’s glad that the club lost to Hamilton.

The Portuguese midfielder was told he was no longer required by Ray McKinnon after a bust-up during the first leg of the play-off final.


Manchester City are preparing a £100million deal for Virgil Van Dijk that they hope will allow them to beat Chelsea and Liverpool to the defender’s signature, according to The Times.

City are supposedly ready to pay Southampton more than £50million and give Van Dijk a five-year contract worth about £180,000 a week, nearly four times his present salary.

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail report that Pep Guardiola is also interested in Monaco defender Benjamin Mendy and striker Kylian Mbappe, although the latter’s £113 million valuation means City are unlikely to compete with Real Madrid unless the price comes down.

The Mail also suggest England goalkeeper Joe Hart is seeking guarantees of first-team football at his next club, with City looking to offload the 30-year-old for £20million.


Across the city, Manchester United have turned down a £60million Real Madrid offer for David De Gea, according to Sky sources.

Real’s offer is more than three times the £18million United paid Atletico Madrid for the Spain number one in 2011 – and almost double the current record fee for a goalkeeper.
