Celtic in talks with Queen's Park over co-operation deal

The Scottish FA are set to bring in a new system where clubs in the Premiership or Championship can sign an agreement with clubs in League One, League Two or the Highland and Lowland leagues allowing them to place a maximum of three players eligible to play for Scotland's national team on a 'cooperation list.'
Those players are able to move freely between the two sides over the course of the loan rather than only being able to be recalled in a transfer window.
The parent club will continue to pay the player's salary but can recall him at any time and send out a replacement.

This will come into place when the transfer window opens on June 16. The loan system will also remain in place, meaning clubs can use both to get their young players more game time at a competitive level.
Several clubs are already in talks, as revealed in The Herald, with Celtic being one those.
Discussions are ongoing with Queen's Park about entering into a co-operation system.
The clubs have an existing relationship with the Hoops having loaned out Adam Montgomery and Dane Murray in recent times.

Celtic transfer news as Giuseppe Ambrosino move 'blocked' and Etienne Youte interest escalates

Italy U21 star Ambrosino was linked with the Hoops earlier this summer Celtic have suffered a blow in their pursuit of reported transfer target Giuesppe Ambrosino, with the striker now seemingly set to stay at Napoli. ‌ Brendan Rodgers is on the hunt for attacking reinforcements and the Hoops were credited with an interest in the 21-year-old earlier this summer after he caught the eye for Italy at the U21 European Championship. ‌ Ambrosino is also said to be target for Serie A new boys Cremonense, who have reportedly held talks over a potential loan deal for the forward. ‌ But Italian outlet Il Mattino (via now claim that the youngster won't be going anywhere this month. Belgium hero Romelu Lukaku picked up an injury in Napoli's friendly win against Olympiacos earlier this week ahead of the first game of their title defence against Sassuolo next weekend. And while Antonio Conte's side have forked out to sign Udinese frontman Lorenzo Lucca, Lukaku's injury, coupled with Giacomo Raspadori's departure to join Atletico Madrid - has left the champions a bit short in the striker department ahead of their league opener. The report adds that although Ambrosino's long-term future at Napoli is yet to be decided, he will remain as part of Conte's squad for the foreseeable future. Celtic-linked Etienne Youte Kinkoue is also said to be attracting interest from the aforementioned Udinese. The Hoops are one of several clubs said to be keen on the Le Harve defender, who is reportedly valued at £4.3million. ‌ Anderlecht and Besiktas have their eye on the player and SportItalia now report that Serie A team Udinese have joined the race to land the 23-year-old. Just last week, Youte had thrown the door open on a potential move to Parkhead by revealing he is looking for the right club in the next stage of his career. ‌ He said:: "I know now that I have to be patient before making a decision. For the moment, I'm here and I feel good within this group. I'm preparing for the season. "If there are interesting offers for me and for the club, we will find an agreement together."

Hibs head coach David Gray has urged record signing Thibault Klidje to kick on from scoring his first goal for the club in the 2-0 Premier Sports Cup win over Livingston. Hibs spent £1 million on Klidje when they bought him from Swiss side Luzern last month. However, despite the weighty transfer fee, Gray has drip-fed the 24-year-old into action, only using him as a substitute until he rotated his team for the trip to West Lothian on Sunday, which was sandwiched in between the club's Conference League fixtures. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Gray made six changes in total, but his team put on a professional display against fellow Premiership opposition. Klidje opened the scoring on 43 minutes before substitute Josh Mulligan rounded off the win with a long-range strike on 87 minutes to set up a quarter-final clash with Rangers at Ibrox next month. Hibs head coach David Gray congratulates Thibault Klidje on his goal. | SNS Group Klidje was given a warm round of applause by more than 2000 travelling Hibs fans and Gray hailed a 'strong' performance from the Togolese internationalist. 'I'm delighted for Thibault getting his goal,' said Gray. 'When you bring a striker to a club you want them to get off the mark as quickly as they can. 'We have been patient with him, we don't want to rush him because he's getting used to the intensity of our training and the physical challenges. He is still settling but he was a constant threat, he brought energy and he took his goal well. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'He put in a very strong performance, there is a lot of improvement still to come and he will take a lot of confidence from that today.' Hibs show their depth Gray was proud of his team's efforts given they had played extra time against Partizan Belgrade on Thursday night. He made six changes in total and handed a debut to 21-year-old Zambian midfielder Miguel Chaiwa, who was impressive in a physical contest. 'I thought it was a very professional performance,' Gray continued. 'We had good control of the game and deserved to go through. 'I'm delighted for the players because before the game we knew people would be looking at this asking how we'd cope with another game in Europe, extra-time, coming to Livingston on an artificial pitch, and the mental fatigue because of the schedule we've been on. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'I thought it was a brilliant performance from that point of view. We were able to make changes and the level of performance didn't drop, so it was a really good day's work from everyone. Josh Mulligan lashed home the second goal for Hibs. | SNS Group 'We knew this schedule was coming so had to be prepared for it, so that's why you have a squad. That was the challenge for the players who haven't been playing. It was job done in terms of that, really good from the squad and we've got minutes into a lot of players. 'Everyone was of a very high standard, which was to the benefit of the group. We have been quite consistent over the piece in terms of certain positions. 'Something we demonstrated last year was the strength of the group. That showed today, bringing on Josh Mulligan, Elie Youan and Junior Hoilett gave us legs. It's a very good headache to have for me.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Hibs' reaction to facing Rangers Hibs now move on to the last eight to face Rangers at Ibrox and on such a prospect, Gray remarked: 'It's a very tough draw, as we know, we knew who we'd face if we got through today. 'To win the trophy you have to beat the best teams. It will be a tough test but one we'll look forward to when it comes around. There's a lot of football to be played and I've always said when you come to this football club it's about trying to win something.' Attention now turns for Hibs to Thursday night's Conference League play-off round first leg against Polish side Legia Warsaw - and Gray is hopeful that playmaker Jamie McGrath will make the tie after missing Livingston due to a knee issue. 'We are very hopeful,' said Gray. 'He's due to train on Monday. He will be in full training between now and Thursday and as long as he keeps progressing that would be a positive. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'Another positive would be Nicky Cadden again [after a hamstring issue], the physios probably thought it was too long with the extra time the other night. We got another 30 mins into him today so everyone should be in a good position come Thursday. It was a painful afternoon for David Martindale and Livingston. | SNS Group Livingston manager David Martindale conceded that his team did not do enough to progress. 'I don't think we deserved to go through, Hibs deserved it,' said Martindale. 'We lost a poor goal just before half-time but I don't think there was much in the game until then.

Skye Stout shuts down trolls with memorable Kilmarnock debut

This was due to a skin condition and the club were forced to take their announcement post down after a string of vile abuse was aimed in her direction. Stout received a heart-warming video message from Ally McCoist and also saw other names from the world of football sticking up for her, including former Celtic striker John Hartson and ex-Glasgow City midfielder Denise O'Sullivan. Now, she has had the last laugh on the twisted trolls by scoring a beauty on her debut. Her new Kilmarnock side faced St Johnstone today on the opening day of the SWPL 2 season and ended up comfortable winners, with a 6-2 scoreline. Stout scored the fourth goal of the game, smashing it it directly from a free-kick from just outside the area. Read more: The club's goal update post has since gone viral with football fans across the country and beyond delighted to see the teen standing up to the trolls in the best way possible, by thriving on the pitch. One supporter said: "Would appear someone is doing their talking on the pitch." Another wrote: "Don't think there will be a more popular goalscorer this weekend. After the sickening abuse the kid got this week online. That is one way to shut people up. Very happy for her." Footballer Craig Bryson said: "Well done, superb." 37' | SKYE STOUT!! Skye fires in a free-kick on the edge of the box! Kilmarnock 4-0 St Johnstone — Kilmarnock FC Women (@KilmarnockWFC) August 17, 2025 In his message, which was shared by Tam Cowan, McCoist said: 'Its strange surroundings so let me explain myself, my flight got cancelled and I'm now on a train to Birmingham to watch Aston Villa. 'This is the trials and tribulations of professional football for you Skye, it's just a wee warning for you because I've just heard you've just signed for Kilmarnock which is absolutely fantastic news. 'I played down there for three years and it was three of the best years of my footballing life and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. It's a fantastic club with great people.
