Rangers target Max Aarons has plenty of catching up to do should he choose to pursue a career at Ibrox — having gone an entire two years without organised football after leaving Luton Town as a kid. Right-back Aarons was just 14 when he left Luton’s academy and spent a couple of years working on his own game with a specialised skills coach lined up by his father Mike before finally getting a chance at Norwich City in 2016.

If RB Leipzig start waving a £15million cheque for Nicolas Kuhn under Celtic’s noses, the champions should take it without hesitation. Good luck to the Bundesliga club if they are willing to pay that money for a winger who was once on their books and think they can coax more consistency out of him than Brendan Rodgers did. Sure, Kuhn eventually came onto a game after arriving at Parkhead from Rapid Vienna for £3m in January 2024.

Just under a year on, the figures still bring on a weary shake of the head. Five first-team squad members under contract shipped out the door.

Callum Osmand laid it out there six months ago that his New Year resolution for 2025 was to gatecrash the world of senior men’s football — and that should let everyone know that he’s not interested in just making up the numbers at Celtic. The 19-year-old striker’s contract at Fulham is about to expire and the Scottish champions look to be at the head of the queue for his services.

Nicolas Raskin is well on the way to becoming an established Belgium international. While it would be a stretch to suggest he is the first name on the team sheet, the Rangers midfielder has every chance of playing for them at the World Cup finals next summer. Having made a huge impression in their Nations League play-off two months ago, when his second-leg performance against Ukraine earned him a standing ovation, Raskin was given his third and fourth caps in the latest international window.
