Rangers hero pens new deal with SPFL rivals, €9m-rated Celtic target ‘closely monitored’ by Ligue 1 club
A roundup of the latest transfer headlines surrounding Celtic and Rangers on Friday morning
Celtic take on Aberdeen in Saturday’s Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park with another domestic Treble on the line for Brendan Rodgers’ side, while Rangers’ season is done and dusted with focus now firmly on a hectic summer of activity.
The summer transfer window will enable both clubs to bolster in areas they feel require some work, with Rangers, in particular, expected to make wholesale changes to the playing squad once a new manager is in place at Ibrox. Here’s a round-up of the latest headlines:
Ex-Rangers fan favourite agrees new deal at Falkirk
Former Rangers title winner Scott Arfield has penned a new one-year deal with newly-promoted Championship winners Falkirk as he commits to one last crack at the top-flight.
The 36-year-old attacking midfielder returned to the Bairns in January on a short-term contract until the end of the season to boost their promotion push and he helped them back into the Premiership after 15-year hiatus.
Arfield scored an impressive nine goals in 13 appearances including a hat-trick on his debut and Falkirk boss John McGlynn made his intention to trigger the option to keep him around for another 12 months clear.
After signing on the dotted line, McGlynn told the club’s official website: “On the signing of Scott Arfield, we’re delighted Scott will be with us for our first season in the Premiership in 15 years, Scott made a huge impact after joining us on the last day of the January transfer window, the nine goals Scott got went along way to helping us achieve our goal, goals win games, and from his first game back from returning to the club and scoring a hat-rick he’s continued to add to that.
