14 ex-Rangers and Celtic players to have taken part in a European Championship semi final – including Hoops misfit and ex-Ibrox hero

The Euro 2024 semi finals get underway this evening, so we decided to look at which former Rangers and Celtic stars have featured in the final four of the competition over the years.

 

After months of anticipation, Euro 2024 will reach its climax this week with the semi final stage beginning this evening as Spain face France in Munich.

 

With tournament hosts Germany already home, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal’s dumped out and reigning champions Italy sent packing at the last 16 stage, the trophy is up for grabs and the remaining four nations will be looking to their star names to shoot them to the glory.

Rangers transfer news

The Gers are planning for a successful 2024/25 season, as they look to go one better and pip Celtic to Scottish Premiership glory, and early signs in the transfer market are extremely promising. Philippe Clement has already made significant additions to his squad, bringing in the likes of Jefte, Mohamed Diomande and Connor Barron, among others.

Rangers are reportedly in the mix to sign Liverpool youngster Bobby Clark, with the midfielder seen as a possible new version of Paul Gascoigne, who was such a hero at Ibrox during the 1990s. RB Salzburg, RB Leipzig and Norwich City are all in the mix to sign him, too, with the former now managed by former Reds assistant manager Pep Lijnders, which could be key.

Aberdeen striker Bojan Miovski is also believed to be wanted by Clement’s men this summer, with the 25-year-old scoring 44 goals in 95 appearances for the Dons. He is being looked at as a replacement for Kemar Roofe, following his departure when his contract expired recently.

While much focus could continue to be on new additions ahead of next season, there are also further players who could head off for new challenges, on top of those who have already moved on. Now, an exit claim has emerged regarding one such figure.
