Rangers to make ‘third bid’ for Swansea City star

Per the Daily Record, Rangers will make a third bid for Morgan Whittaker after he was left out of Swansea City’s squad for their trip to Queen’s Park Rangers. The Ibrox club are said to have already had two bids for the attacking midfielder rejected in the current window.

Whittaker spent the first half of the current season on loan at EFL League One leaders Plymouth Argyle, meaning if he were to play for Swansea City he could not turn out for any other club this season - making a January transfer highly unlikely. However, Swans’ boss Russel Martin has said that they have not received any new bid for the player.

The former Rangers defender commented: “The situation hasn’t changed, we haven’t received any more bids from anyone. It just means it’ll be a slower process, him trying to get back into the team if he’s still here in 12 days or whatever it is, which I envisage him being.”

Oh Hyeon-Gyu set to join Celtic in £2.5million transfer

The Sun are reporting that Celtic will complete the £2.5million signing of Oh Hyeon-gyu in the coming days. Terms are said to have been agreed with the South Korean striker who is now travelling to Glasgow to finalise the move.

The 21-year old is expected to take the place of Giorgos Giakoumakis who looks likely to complete a move away fro Celtic Park this window. Meanwhile, Josip Juranovic has also completed a £10million switch to Union Berlin.
