Brendan Rodgers sends message to Celtic board as Rangers boss confirms ‘puzzling’ decision

All the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding Celtic and Rangers ahead of Saturday’s action.

Celtic continue to lead the Scottish Premiership by five points, with Rangers still having a game in hand.

Based on the evidence so far, we could have the most exciting title chase in recent years,

but there is still plenty of football to be played.

Brendan Rodgers’ men play Aberdeen away early on Saturday,

while Rangers face Livingston later in the day.

In the meanwhile, we’ve compiled the most recent news about both clubs.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has warned that the club must be ‘braver’ in the transfer market if they are to regain their dominance in the future years.

“I would go with supporters thinking we could maybe be a little bit braver in terms of bringing in another level of player,” he was quoted as saying.

“But it is up to me to try and correct it during my time here.

“When you look at the technique here, you must exercise caution since it has worked in some aspects.

You sign guys for a low sum, and then they go out and make the club a lot of money.

What I intend to accomplish during my time here is to ensure that we can continue to do so,

as it is a vital aspect of the modern game.

However, we also want to be daring enough to rely on a ready-made player.

So, while I completely understand the support, that player must also be available.

Rangers manager Philippe Clement has revealed who has been left out of his Europa League squad for the knockout stages. “If you look at finding a balance,

then Ridvan needs to be in,” he went on to say. “You need two full-backs; this was an issue in the first round. We didn’t have a left-back in case Borna Barisic went down.

“That was a challenging point on the European list I filed today.

Fabio Silva replaces Sam Lammers.

That is logical. Diomande replaces Cifu (Cifuentes), who is most likely out.

Ridvan (Yilmaz) will be on the list, excluding Leon Balogun, Kieran Dowell, and Cortes. That hurts me.
