Callum Osmand to Celtic transfer imminent as terms 'agreed'
The young Fulham striker is on the brink of becoming the Parkhead side's second summer signing after Kieran Tierney's return was officially confirmed this afternoon. Sky Sports claims that Osmand has completed a medical with the Scottish Premiership champions and agreed terms to join the club. Read more: Celtic will owe Fulham training compensation once the deal goes through. Osmand joined the West London outfit at just 13 years of age and signed his first professional contract with the club in the summer of 2023. Now 19, he was a regular for their under-21 side in the Premier League 2 last season, scoring 10 goals and assisting four across 17 appearances. In 73 total games for Fulham's under-18s and under-21s, he has netted 43 times. Osmand has also played four times for Wales' under-17s, scoring once. "He is much more mobile [than a traditional centre forward]," said Marco Silva of the forward last year [ "He needs more senior football in his legs to see how he can adapt, perform. He's got the profile that I like. When he has a chance, he can punish the opposition. "I can see the talent, in a position that is very difficult to play in the Premier League. Probably if you play another striker by his side … you will take the best from him. Let's hope we can help him to be ready for the Premier League."

£12.7m ace signs, Raskin stays, 10-cap defender joins - Russell Martin's dream Rangers XI if transfer rumours are true
It has been less than a week since Rangers confirmed the appointment of new head coach Russell Martin, but the transfer rumours surrounding Ibrox have already gone into overdrive. With the Andrew Cavenagh-led consortium involving 49ers Enterprises now complete, and their choice of manager in place, the Ibrox hierarchy will look to build a squad capable of challenging fierce Glasgow rivals Celtic ahead of the new Scottish Premiership season. The club have already confirmed the departure of long-serving players Leon Balogun, Ianis Hagi and Tom Lawrence following the expiry of their contracts and, with a number of new faces linked with potential transfer to Ibrox this summer, Rangers starting XI could have a vastly different look to the one that limped towards the end of the season when the new campaign gets underway in August. But how would Martin's Rangers starting XI look come the first game of the season, if the recent transfer rumours turn out to be accurate? Here, The Scotsman assess what Rangers dream team would look like, using Martin's preferred 4-3-3 formation, if the recent transfer rumours are true - though, that can never be guaranteed, with the amount of twists and turns expected in the summer transfer window. 1 . GK: Aaron Ramsdale Could Rangers tempt the England internationalist to Ibrox? It has been rumoured that Russell Martin is eyeing up an ambitious reunion for the Southampton goalkeeper. However, this move does seem unlikely due to the huge transfer fee needed to prize him away from St Mary's. | Arsenal FC via Getty Images Photo Sales 2 . RB: James Tavernier It has been confirmed that the long-serving Rangers full-back will continue as captain at Ibrox, and the powerful defender fits well into Russell Martin's system due to his athletic ability on the flanks. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group Photo Sales 3 . CB: John Souttar The Scotland internationalist has long been recognised as the club's best centre-back, and he is likely to play a big role in team next year. His ability to build attacks from the back will be crucial to how Russell Martin wants to play. Rangers are already reported to be considering an extension to his contract. | PA Photo: PA Photo Sales 4 . CB: Conor Coady Lauded for his experience and leadership in the dressing room, the 10-cap England international has been strongly linked to Rangers in the last week. Some reports claim talks have reportedly started with the Leicester City defender, with his future at the Foxes in doubt. | Wolves via Getty Images Photo Sales
