Forward Braga happy at Hearts - Scottish gossip

What the report says

BBC Sport Football’s Scottish gossip round-up reports that Hearts forward Claudio Braga is content at Tynecastle despite discussion about his future after a strong first season. The BBC item, citing Edinburgh Evening News, notes that the 26-year-old scored 17 goals last term. It also points to separate reports saying Braga is enthusiastic about the chance to play Champions League football and would willingly relive the highs and lows of Hearts’ previous campaign.

The round-up also highlights potential movement involving Celtic. Plymouth Argyle forward Lorent Tolaj, who has been linked with Celtic, is reported by the Glasgow Times to be nearing a move to Bristol City instead. Meanwhile, 16-year-old defender Dara Jikiemi has said he is leaving Celtic, with the National linking him with Liverpool. The Herald is cited on Paolo Bernardo helping new Celtic arrival Camilo Duran adapt by translating for him.

At Rangers, manager Derek McInnes is reported to have underlined the pressure that comes with his role at Ibrox, saying he understands results will define judgement of his tenure. Another report cited by BBC Sport says McInnes has challenged Youssef Chermiti and Emmanuel Fernandez to make the most of their ability.

The digest also includes Dundee, where manager Steven Pressley has compared 17-year-old Charley Oosenbrugh with Luke Graham, whom the club recently sold. Overall, the round-up reflects a busy Scottish football news cycle focused on player futures, new signings settling in, and expectations at major Premiership clubs.
