Scottish Football Transfer News: Rangers transfer boost, Hibs eye 18-goal striker, £450k Ibrox investment, Celtic injury concern, Aberdeen eye trio

Scottish football is gearing up for a weekend of Scottish Cup action with the semi-finals at Hampden Park.

Here are all the latest headlines, news and transfer speculation from around the SPFL:

Rangers have been handed a boost in their reported pursuit of goalkeeper Sam Johnstone. The England international is out of contract at West Brom in the summer and Baggies boss has revealed the “likelihood” he “is going to leave” the club. The 29-year-old has attracted plenty of interest from down south with Tottenham Hotspur understood to be frontrunners. He is one of a number of goalkeepers who have been linked with Rangers.

Hibs are lining up a move for Swindon Town striker Harry McKirdy. The 25-year-old has 18 goals in 38 appearances for the Robins this campaign after joining from Port Vale. McKirdy agreed an initial one-year deal when moving but could be under contract for a further year meaning Hibs would have to pay a fee for the player. A striker may well be high up on Shaun Maloney’s wishlist considering the long-term injury to Kevin Nisbet. (Alan Nixon)
