Celtic and Rangers have both returned to pre-season as they look to prepare for the upcoming campaign.

It was an impresive season for both Glasgow sides in the one just gone, and both will be keen to improve even further across the course of pre-season.

Celtic face a race against time to complete a permanent deal for Jota.

The Hoops are said to be in advanced talks, but they have not confirmed a deal for the loan star just yet.

The big problem is that the Portuguese star’s loan spell officially ends on Thursday night, and the option to buy will expire along with the loan.

Personal terms agreed

Rangers are believed to have agreed personal terms with PAOK forward Antonio Colak.

The striker has been tipped to arrive at Ibrox on a £1.8million deal, and Colak is willing to make the move, already agreeing to his part of the switch.

That’s according to Sky Sports, but it’s also reported that PAOK are yet to make a decision over whether they actually want to sell.
