Liam Scales and Rocco Vata yet to sign new deals

Hoops pair Liam Scales and Rocco Vata are in talks over new Celtic deals - but neither of the two are 'close to an agreement', according to a report from the Daily Record.

Scales is under contract until 2025 - as such, there is still plenty of time left in his case. Vata, however, will see his current deal expire in the summer - as such, it is paramount that the Hoops act fast if they don't want to lose him on a free transfer.

Robin Veldman says Fabio Silva was on 'insane' wages at Wolves

Rangers will be keen to strike a permanent deal for Fabio Silva in the summer - however, his wages may be prove to be an issue. When Robin Veldman was at Anderlecht, he coached Silva while he was on loan, describing him as 'arrogant' and his wages to be 'insane'. He did, however, say that he was 'confident' that the Portuguese starlet would be a success.

Speaking to the Scottish Sun, Veldman said: "Outside of the pitch he can appear arrogant. Fabio is confident in what he wants and how he sees things. He can come across as cocky. But it is from a good heart and I like him very much.

"My first impression of him at Anderlecht was he was a spoilt young kid with too much ambition, too young with too much money. Wolves paid massive money and his wages for his age were insane. I really hope he can be happy with such a big club. I am confident Fabio has a big career ahead of him."
