Celtic is reportedly interested in Yukinari Sugawara, a right-back from Southampton, but he is likely to join Cagliari on loan. Additionally, the club is considering a loan move for Chelsea's 19-year-old winger Kendry Paez. Meanwhile, Rangers are set to finalize the signing of striker Kevin Kelsy from Portland Timbers after agreeing on a £9 million deal.
In other transfer news, former Rangers captain James Tavernier is moving to Maccabi Tel Aviv, while Hearts are looking to sign midfielder Leart Kabashi from Grasshopper Zurich. Hibernian is also pursuing a loan for defender Zach Abbott from Nottingham Forest, facing competition from Championship clubs.
Celtic's pursuit of Kendry Paez could reshape their attacking options, especially if they miss out on Sugawara. Fans should monitor how these moves affect squad depth and performance as the transfer window closes, particularly with Rangers strengthening their lineup.
