Celtic ‘preparing bid’ for £15m Premier League ace as Rangers transfer praised by club chairman

A roundup of the latest transfer news for Celtic and Rangers this week.

As we approach the end of another week in the transfer window, there’s plenty to dissect when it comes to Celtic and Rangers’ movements.

The two sides have already made their first moves of the window but Rangers have been the significantly busier club. As the rivals continue to plan their buying and selling strategies, we’ve rounded up some of the latest stories on the transfer rumour mill to see you into the weekend.

Celtic have one eye firmly on the English pyramid as they look to further strengthen their squad this summer. Having already snagged the return of Kieran Tierney, they are once against monitoring the Premier League for new recruits.

One of their targets is Liverpool prospect Tyler Morton, who could be set to leave Merseyside this summer as he searches for a more prominent, senior role.

According to SportsBoom, the Hoops are ‘preparing a bid’ in attempt to sign Morton, who will see Liverpool pocket healthy profit, having come through their youth system if he leaves on a permanent deal this summer. The Premier League champions reportedly value the midfielder at £15 million.

Morton has had limited opportunities to prove himself at Liverpool so far, with their midfield currently well-stacked and the arrival of Florian Wirtz only adding to the competition. Brendan Rodgers reportedly ‘hopes’ to bring the 22-year-old to Parkhead this summer, amid interest from other rival clubs.

Morton has put himself on the radar of several clubs after contributing to a successful England campaign in the U21 Euros. The Young Lions lifted the trophy thanks to the efforts of the talented team, with Morton featuring in all but one of the fixtures.
