Deal done for Kelsy to join Rangers - gossip

What the report says

BBC Sport Football reports that Rangers are set to sign Venezuela striker Kevin Kelsy from Portland Timbers in a deal worth $13m (£9.6m), with additional add-ons and a sell-on clause also understood to be part of the agreement. The 22-year-old’s move would add another attacking option for Rangers as they look to strengthen their squad.

The same round-up says Celtic were unable to complete a move for Torino midfielder Gvidas Gineitis after negotiations stalled, even though talks had reached an advanced stage. It also says the Glasgow club made a late loan attempt to bring left-back Greg Taylor back from PAOK, but that effort did not succeed.

BBC Sport Football adds that former Southampton midfielder Will Smallbone could be of interest to Celtic after becoming a free agent. Separately, Celtic are reported to be receiving £6.5m plus add-ons for Reo Hatate after his move to Burnley was completed on Tuesday. The digest also notes interest from Aberdeen and others in Dundee midfielder Ethan Hamilton, and a comment from former Rangers striker Kris Boyd about the club’s difficulty in selling key players such as Nico Raskin.

Overall, the items reflect ongoing squad reshaping at both Glasgow clubs, with transfer activity in the market still active as clubs adjust their mid-season or pre-season plans.
