Rangers linked star deemed ‘transfer risk’ and Celtic player ‘in talks’ over January move

A player considered a “transfer risk” has been connected to Rangers; in the meantime, a midfield player for Celtic may depart the team in January.
For Celtic and Rangers, the January transfer market is well underway. In addition to lining up moves to enhance their respective squads, the Hoops and the Light Blues are also looking to shed players.

A former England midfielder has advised Rangers about one of their transfer targets. A Serie A team has expressed interest in a Celtic youth player and may make a move for him in January.Journalist Fabrizio Romano recently posted on X (formerly Twitter) about Bologna, a Serie A team, allegedly showing interest in Celtic prodigy Rocco Vata. Talks between the two parties are expected to start’soon’, and interest in the player is reportedly ‘increasing’.

Vata, who is just eighteen, has already competed for the Republic of Ireland at several young levels. In his lone U21 match, he scored a brace. It appears likely that he will depart Celtic Park this month; if Romano’s story is accurate, Bologna is not the only team interested in signing him.

Rangers’ purchase of Lawrence Shankland is seen by Carlton Palmer as a “risk.”

In regards to Hearts forward Lawrence Shankland, former Sheffield Wednesday and England midfielder Carlton Palmer has expressed his opinions, calling his possible signing a “risk worth taking.” Rangers is one of the teams who have been linked to a deal for the player.

In a conversation with Football League World about Shankland, Palmer stated: “He’s still got 18 months left on his contract and, being a Scottish international, I’m sure that Hearts will be looking for a sizeable fee, and yes, there’s always a risk to take someone from north of the border, but he’s bang in form and scoring goals, so maybe it’s a risk worth taking if the price is right.”
