Rangers announce transfer as Celtic rule out move for international forward

Celtic and Rangers will now be pushing hard to get fit and ready for the new season.

Both clubs have already beguin their summer fixture schedule, though Rangers are a little behind following their cancelled friendly with Sunderland over the weekend.

Behind the scenes, both sides are pushing to wrap up new deals, with Celtic starting the window strongly, while Rangers have caught up over the last week or so with additions of their own.

The efforts to complete more deals will continue, though, and here we have rounded up all the transfer news and rumours surrounding both clubs.

Matondo done

Rangers have completed the signing of Schalke star Rabbi Matondo.

The Wales international has been offloaded as part of Schalke trimming their squad this summer, and Rangers have taken advantage.

The 21-year-old has penned a four-year deal, and after completing the move, he said: “I am absolutely buzzing to have signed for a club as big as Rangers.

“I am just looking forward to getting on the pitch at Ibrox in front of the amazing fans we have here at Rangers and I am excited.

“This is a big club with a massive history, and I just want to create more memories and more history here at the club.”

Exit close

Elsewhere, Rangers look set to offload young star Cole McKinnon temporarily.
