Rangers face Serie A transfer battle as Celtic receive ‘game-changing’ offer

The January transfer market is now in its closing week,

with Hibs and Hearts preparing to make final squad changes before the end of play next Thursday.

Both of Hibs’ new recruits played against Rangers at Easter Road Friday night (January 24),

but fans will be left to reflect on their abilities after the visitors cruised to a 3-0 victory.

Hearts, on the other hand, won 3-2 over Dundee at Tynecastle,

with new signing Dexter Lembikisa scoring on his debut.

It remains to be seen what final moves take place in the Scottish Premiership,

but Nick Montgomery may be hoping the Easter Road board can somehow find extra cash before next Thursday’s deadline.

the initial move with a loan-then-buy agreement for the Denmark midfielder,

which could be worth up to £20 million.

but the club must reinvest if they accept a bid for the 23-year-old.

with subsequent payments potentially totaling £20 million,

it could be a difficult task for the Hoops manager.
