Zenit prepare bid for Rogic
Celtic's Australian midfielder Tom Rogic could be on his way out of the club with Russian club Zenit St Petersburg preparing a £9 million bid for the 26-year-old. Celtic are willing to listen to offers, but are believed to be holding out for a fee of around £15 million.
Rangers ‘favourites’ to sign Sturridge
Rangers are now the bookies’ favourites to sign former Liverpool forward Daniel Sturridge on a free transfer, according to the Scottish Sun. The Scottish Sun are reporting that that odds of the 29-year-old moving to Ibrox have dropped from 16/1 to 6/4.
Hibernian set for major investment?
The Scottish Sun believe that Hibernian could be the subject of a multi-million pound investment from an Edinburgh-born businessman. Around £6 million could be pumped into the Leith club and a deal could be announced by the end of the week.
Brown puts rivalry aside for charity
Celtic captain Scott Brown has helped raise money for charity by signing a painting of him getting punched by Ryan Kent in an infamous incident from an Old Firm last season. Brown explained: “I’m happy to do it if it’s for a charity or maybe someone who’s in a bad place. If you can help out I don’t see any harm with a signature on a painting and Ryan and me were happy to help out.”
Ex-Dundee keeper on trial at Bournemouth

Brown: We’ve heard it all before
Celtic captain Scott Brown is not worried by Rangers players’ predictions that they can win the league this season. “I’ve heard it all before," Brown said. "Every season. It’s part and parcel of Scottish football. Everyone wants to challenge us but we are champions for a reason.”
