Celtic remain interested in Hibernian midfielder Miguel Chaiwa and would consider a £5m bid for the 22-year-old Zambia international. The club is unwilling to meet the £7m price tag reported by Hibernian. Celtic are expected to submit a new offer for Sandefjord centre-half Zinedin Smajlovic after an earlier £3.5m bid for the Bosnia-Herzegovina player was rejected.
The option for Celtic to sign Kelechi Iheanacho for another season has expired. The striker is training on his own in Nigeria. Real Betis has expressed interest in Rangers midfielder Nicolas Raskin while considering replacements for Dani Ceballos, who is expected to move on.
Rangers are open to a straight swap deal with Hull City involving goalkeepers Jack Butland and Ivor Pandur. Aberdeen are closing in on a deal for 23-year-old Moroccan striker Ayoub Mouloua from FUS Rabat. Former striker Chris Sutton said transfer activity at Celtic is "just a mess".
