Transfer news LIVE as Celtic and Rangers plus Aberdeen FC, Hearts and Hibs make signings

Chat of a returning face is hitting fever pitch but the rest are hard at work on recruitment.

Plenty of Scottish clubs are heading back for pre-season, and there's a changing of the guard at Celtic. It couldn't be more dramatic, as Brendan Rodgers returns as manager. Odin Thiago Holm is likely to be his first signing.

He now returns with a healthy transfer kitty ahead of a tilt in the Champions League and punters are warming to the thought of his second act.

Michael Beale and Rangers will try and wrestle league control off the returning gaffer and their rebuild is underway. Four new signings have been confirmed and more are on the way.

Jose Cifuentes could be number five and there's more than just them in the hunt for Cyriel Dessers. There could be outgoings too, with players like Glen Kamara having decisions to make.

Across the rest of Scotland, Hibs have started preparing for life after Kevin Nisbet with Adam Le Fondre. And Motherwell are braced for more interest in Kevin Van Veen.

In Europe, the dust is settling on the one of the biggest moves in Jude Bellingham moving to Real Madrid. But he won't be the only mega money deal as Saudi Arabian clubs look to snap up hot talent for their growing division.
