Scottish Football Transfer News: Rangers eye £8m striker, Celtic star wanted by EPL clubs, Hearts bid for midfielder, £600k bid for Aberdeen target as Dons track defender

The off-season in Scottish football is starting to heat up with deals getting done and clubs returning to pre-season.

Here is all the latest news and transfer speculation from around the SPFL:

Celtic star wanted by Premier League clubs

Celtic star Josip Juranovic could leave the Scottish champions after just one season in Glasgow with Premier League clubs keen on the Croatian full-back. Signed from Legia Warsaw last summer, the 26-year-old impressed at both right and left back, while also making an impression on the international stage with Croatia. If he were to leave Celtic would make a substantial profit on a player they bought for just £2.5million. (Fabrizio Romano)

22-goal striker linked with Rangers

Rangers have enquired about the signing of Erik Botheim. The Norwegian striker could be available for free with the player’s agent confirming in May that he had terminated his contract with Russian side Krasnodar following the invasion of Ukraine. He had only moved from Bodo/Glimt at the start of the year for around £8million following 22 goals in 46 games. Marseille have been linked but the French giants are not planning a move for the 22-year-old. (Jonas Giaever)

Hearts make midfielder offer

An offer has been submitted by Hearts for Peterborough United midfielder Jorge Grant. The 27-year-old was made available for transfer following Posh’s relegation to League One. He is attracting interest from clubs around England but has already been to Edinburgh to view the city and check out the club’s facilities. Hearts, who can offer European football, have made a bid that is below the £750,000 release clause in the player's contract. (Evening News)
