7 breaking Celtic transfer headlines as Ferguson 'enquiry' launched, rising star on the move and latest on Tierney

West Ham have joined the long list of clubs keen on signing Evan Ferguson on loan as Celtic's hunt for a new striker looks set to to continue into the final days of the window.

And yet they have now reportedly launched their opening bid for Norwegian winger
