Celtic and Rangers transfer priorities laid out on Monday Jury as Kilmarnock and Hearts Euro chances rated

ANDY NEWPORT: A new centre-back is a necessity. Liam Scales has performed admirably but if Celtic are to make a dent on the Champions League they need someone to match Cameron Carter-Vickers’ levels. Another left-back and winger would be handy but that could be overtaken if Matt O’Riley leaves.

ANDY: Jeez, how long have you got? Rangers need upgrades in every position bar goalkeeper but if I was Philippe Clement, I’d be prioritising a creative midfielder and a left winger. If there’s funds for another striker then I’m sure he’d take that too.

SCOTT: He needs a fair bit. It looks like Rangers need a bit more quality in the middle of the park. That has to be the priority.

GAVIN: Where do you start? There’s so much needed to upgrade the squad to make it competitive.

SCOTT: Having seen the impact it had on Aberdeen then there should be alarm bells ringing. I would say they are better equipped in terms of numbers than the Dons last season.

GAVIN: Yeah, there was a lot of confidence in Gorgie in the
