Transfer news LIVE as Celtic and Rangers plus Aberdeen FC, Hearts and Hibs eye deals

Rangers have five in the door and are on the chase for signing number six with a new winger high on the agenda after finally landing Connor Barron. Bayern Munich’s Yusuf Kabadayi is the one who won’t go away. They’ve added for the future by seeing off 3 top EPL sides to land highly-talented teen Alfie Hutchison while Jay Hogarth is heading out on loan to Queen of the South. Across the city, Burnley defender Dara O’Shea is a target for Celtic, as Record Sport revealed last night. Adam Idah is one who the champions want to get over the line after an impressive loan spell but they could face a real battle to keep Matt O’Riley. Southampton are ready to make a £20million offer plus add-ons to test the resolve at Parkhead. Other fringe men will also likely leave. Aberdeen are currently in Portugal starting to get into gear under new boss Jimmy Thelin but Duk is a notable absentee due to a ‘medical issue’. Meanwhile, in the capital David Gray has made two new signings to his Hibs side. He’s also seeking a reunion with Simon Murray – who had an excellent campaign at Ross County last term.   Hearts have been much busier than their Edinburgh rivals with Steven Naismith bolstering his squad with plenty new recruits including Blair Spittal and Yan Dhanda. Costa Rican right back Gerald Taylor was given SFA approval for his switch, but now the Home Office must issue a visa before he can check in at Tynecastle. Gavin Molloy wants to take the Liam Scales approach and use Aberdeen as a springboard into the Republic of Ireland squad, writes Scott Burns in Portugal.   The left-sided defender is one of Aberdeen’s new arrivals, when they triggered a release clause to sign him from Shelbourne last month. The 22-year-old has never played for his country but has a burning ambition and knows Aberdeen can help him achieve that goal. He points to the loan spell that Scales had at Aberdeen that got him into the Ireland squad and now he is a regular at Celtic. The Dons can also boast current Irish midfielder Jamie McGrath.
