hey there my friend today is packed with Bombshells just for you here's what's in store for today's news Celtic ready to hijack Rangers deal after talks open edak want to sign James Taver transfer considered as Rangers star meets shopping list criteria Champions League development to help Rangers secure Lawrence Shanklin transfer Philipe clemont backed to sanction Danilo exit to fund Rangers transfer rebuild and finally kwells Rangers exit ENT after secret transfer meeting let's dive in well here's a bit of cheeky business from across the city Celtic are apparently trying to swoop in and snatch Hannibal ma right from under our noses according to the folks at football Insider our green and white neighbors are plotting to hijack the deal we've been working on with Manchester United for the young midfielder now we all know Hannibal right the lads 21 plenty of potential but United reckon he's Surplus to requirements they're open to selling him for what they're calling a significant offer typical United always after a bit of cash we've been in talks to bring him to iooks offering him the chance to shine in European football but now it looks like Celtic are sticking their ore in apparently pedo roor one of the senior correspondents at football Insider let's slip on their podcast that Celtic are gearing up to lure mayb to Celtic park instead of I Bros a bit cheeky don't you think the lad broke into United's first team back in 2021 won but hasn't exactly been setting the world on fire just 13 appearances and one goal last season they shipped him off to Sevilla for a bit of experience but it didn't quite work out six appearances no goals despite that he's been a regular for Tunisia though he's yet to find the back of the net in his 26 caps now with Celtics Matt O'Reilly likely packing his bags this summer the boys are looking for a replacement and they reckon midbury could be their man Allan Hutton the ex Scotland International even thinks it's a smart move for them but here's the thing we've got to keep our eye on the prize if Mage Brees got his sight set on playing in Scotland let's make sure it's in blue not green the race is on and it's going to be an interesting one well well well looks like our Skipper James Taver has been making headlines again for the last couple of Seasons there's been all this chatter about him possibly packing his bags for Saudi Arabia remember that rejected bid from trabzon Spore yeah they ended up signing someone else and since then the speculation been pretty quiet but now Steven Gerard's Al edac is back in the picture there's been some Buzz about whether those long-standing rumors might finally come true according to Ben Jacobs from give me sport Tavernier was on Gerard's wish list but here's the kicker it doesn't look like he'll be heading to the desert anytime soon Eddie Fox apparently happy with their foreign signings and are Focus focusing on the Saudi Market plus they're more interested in grabbing a left back a striker and a squad player in defensive Midfield so it seems our captain isn't on their shopping list after all Philip clayon also had a word on this when asked about tav's future he pretty much shut down any exit talk saying that unless a player comes to him directly and says they want out they're staying put and as far as he's concerned Tavernier is still a ranger through and through now let's talk about serial desirs he's been a bit of a mixed bag lately against Hearts he couldn't hit a barn door but then he turns it around with a solid display against Dynamo Kiev funny enough the edifo report might have an impact on him they're on the hunt for a striker and with all this interest from the Middle East you never know a bid might be coming their way if gray decides to move on but let's not get ahead of ourselves Clement knows he needs to bring in some fresh faces but he can't do that until some of the current lot are sold so while it looks like have is staying put deser might just end up on someone else's radar Connor Goldson our former Defender turned down a lucrative offer from Gerard himself to join alapag instead he chose a move to cypriot football with Aris lassel their manager Alexis sheski couldn't be happier praising Goldson for his hunger to win and his commitment to helping the younger players Goldson said no to Saudi millions and picked a club where he can make a real impact hats off to him Rangers could be lining up a move for Lawrence shankland if we managed to get past Dynamo kayv in the Champions League qualifiers according to Leanne kryon if we secure that win at Hampton Park we're looking at a tidy sum of about 4 to 5 million pounds dropping into the coffers and that cash could just be the ticket to bring shankland over to icks now kryton's got a point if shankland was our top Target you'd think we'd have snapped him up by now but she reckons that with a bit of extra from a Champions League winfall we might just change our tune apparently Philipe clont hasn't exactly slammed the door shut on this idea though he hasn't been shouting it from the rooftops either let's be real Anyan who's watched us over the last couple of Seasons knows we could use a bit more Firepower to really give Celtic a run for their money seral deser has been decent showing some promise in the early games but we can't be putting all our eggs in one basket especially with Danilo and Hamza igam working on their Fitness shankland could be just what we need he knows the league inside out and he's got that bit of experience and Savvy that's been missing if we can get past Dynamo Kiev and secure that Champions League money maybe just maybe we'll be able to get the deal done and dusted getting through to the next round is crucial not just for our European dreams but for bringing in the kind of talent that could make all the difference this season Philipe clemont might be considering letting Danilo go to free up some cash for new signings before the transfer window slams shut Peter Grant's been having a chinwag on Go Radio and he reckons Clement could be planning for life without the Brazilian forward this season now danilo's not kicked a ball in a competitive match for us in 2024 thanks to an injury he had a bit of a run out in preseason but so far this term he's been keeping the bench warm most folks are thinking Clement's just managing his minutes carefully but Grant's got a different take he's thinking the boss might be looking to cash in on danillo instead when we signed danillo we brought in three Strikers all at once and Grant thought that might be a bit too much he's speculating that Clement could be thinking about getting some of that money back by moving Danilo on whether we get half or 3/4 of what we paid Clement might be looking to reinvest it where he feels we need it most it's not about being disrespectful to danillo mind you grant just thinks it's the kind of tough decision managers have to make some times if Clement can get a decent fee for him it might just be a case of thanks and Cheerio to danillo now will danillo actually leave Rangers that's the big question serial Des has been Clement's go-to man UPF front this season and he's been doing a solid job especially with that cracking finish against Dynamo K but the fact that Danilo hasn't been brought on in either of our first two games even when we've been desperate for a late goal does make you wonder Rangers cannot afford to sell danillo until a new Striker arrives on the blue side of Glasgow behind des and the Brazilian the only other alternative is Hamza Igman who is yet to make his debut following his transfer if the Light blues can agree on a deal for another new forward to make the move to IBS maybe then Clement can look to maneuver Danilo out of the door until then however it seems unlikely the 25-year-old will be going anywhere so could we be seeing Danilo heading for the exit it looks like Todd kwell is about to wave goodbye to icks with a move to trabzonspor reportedly just around the corner word from Turkey is that the club's ready to announce his signing any day now apparently kwell has been itching for a new challenge and he made it clear to the club that he didn't fancy sticking around in Glasgow remember how we told you he'd handed in a transfer request last season well it seems Philipe Clon had a good long chat with him but in the end it was clear that kwell had his heart set on leaving and now trabzon spor managed by Abdullah AI is swooping in to reunite him with his old Rangers Pals John lungstrom and Borna barisich who both headed to Turkey earlier this Summer according to keradan Gazette a burgundy blue manager flew into Glasgow on a private plane just the other day for a secret meeting with kwell a few hours later the same plane took off back to turkey with reports suggesting that the talks went well and that the deal will be made offici official very soon kwells had his fair share of ups and downs since joining Rangers including that Infamous shush bger incident against hars where he seemed to tell his own fans to pipe down and now it looks like his time at icks is coming to an end with trabzon Spore Keen to add him to their ranks Filipe Clon had kept the door open for canwell to fight for his place in the team but with this latest development it seems like cantwell's Mind Is Made Up should the deal go through he'll be linking up with lungstrom and barisich in the Turkish Super League Clement himself admitted that kwell had come to him a while back saying he was ready for a new adventure they had a long chat and Clement gave him some time to think it over but kwell came back with the same request he wanted out so Clement's been focusing on the players who are committed to Rangers asked if kwell was close to sealing the deal with another club Clement wasn't entirely sure but confirmed that cantwell's been training with the squad even playing with the second team while his future gets sorted out so there you have it it looks like we'll be saying farewell to Todd canwell soon onward and upward as they say I'll be back with more
