Wrexham line up ambitious double swoop for two Scotland stars as Celtic hero set to join third club in a YEAR
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WREXHAM had three Scottish players in their team last season as they continued their rise up the English pyramid and into the English Championship. As things stand, though, there are no Scots in the squad for their Championship push this year - after both Steven Fletcher and Josh Adams left at the end of their contracts, while James Jones quit the club in January. Sign up for the Celtic newsletter Sign up 1 Wrexham co-chairmen Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds Credit: PA The ambitious Welsh team, however, look set to refill their Scottish quota this summer as they are lining up offers for two Scots who have been capped 78 times for the national team combined. SunSport understands Wrexham - owned by Hollywood superstars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney - are eyeing up deals for out-of-contract duo Stuart Armstrong and Barry Bannan. Former Celtic and Dundee United midfielder Armstrong, 33, is on the hunt for the sixth club of his career - and his third in less than a YEAR. He left Southampton after six years at St Mary's last summer when his deal expired and spent a number of weeks without a team before he headed across the pond to link up with old pal Ryan Gauld at Vancouver Whitecaps. Armstrong only penned a short-term deal with the MLS side and headed back to the UK to join Sheffield Wednesday for a few months when that deal expired. And he's a free agent once again as he was released by the Owls when the season finished last month. He played alongside club legend Bannan last season, who is also searching for a new team for the first time in a decade. The 35-year-old, who is Sheffield Wednesday's captain, is also coming to the end of his deal and could be set for one last move before he retires. The Owls have been in talks with the veteran to extend his contract beyond this summer but both parties have yet to reach an agreement. Now newly-promoted Wrexham are plotting to prise the midfielder away from Hillsborough this summer. Wrexham stars including ex-Premier League ace party with Hollywood hunk Channing Tatum after Cambridge draw Should the duo complete the move then they will face their former Sheffield Wednesday team-mates in the league next season. The Owls finished in 12th place last season with both Bannan and Armstrong featuring regularly. Bannan made 45 appearances across all competitions, while Armstrong played 11 times since arriving at the end of January.

Kenny Logan leads celebrity team on 555-mile Ireland cycle in memory of Doddie Weir
A team of celebrities and rugby players are preparing for a 555-mile cycle challenge around the island of Ireland to raise funds for research into motor neurone disease (MND) in memory of the late Doddie Weir. Weir died of MND aged 52 in November 2022, after years of campaigning to raise awareness of the condition and funds into research. Scottish rugby legend Kenny Logan and his television presenter wife Gabby are among those preparing to take part in Doddie'5 Lions Challenge, cycling around 100 miles a day for six days, departing from Belfast on Sunday. The team will cycle through counties including Galway, Limerick and Cork, to arrive in Dublin on June 20 and deliver the match ball to the Aviva Stadium for the British and Irish Lions' 1888 Cup clash with Argentina. Some participants have had to pull out due to injury, including Weir's son Hamish, who will instead drive a support vehicle, while Scotland rugby stars Bryan Redpath and Hugo Southwell, and ex-Lions and Ireland international Rob Henderson, will also no longer be able to take part. Football legend Ally McCoist, actor Jamie Bamber, former Harlequins player Mel Deane, and cancer campaigner Iain Ward will all take part alongside the Logans. The challenge has raised more than £300,000 for My Name'5 Doddie Foundation and the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association so far, with hopes of reaching £500,000 before Sunday. Kenny Logan will lead the team, and he has been doing intensive hill sessions on an exercise bike twice a week ahead of his second endurance fundraiser for MND research. He joined the Edinburgh to Paris cycle in 2023 which raised almost £1 million. He said: 'We've lost a few to injury, and it just shows how demanding this is going to be. I've had my own aches and pains. No major injuries thankfully but I've definitely been reminded why I probably shouldn't be moving this much at my age. 'I'm most nervous about the hills. I convinced myself Ireland was flat – it's definitely not. But nerves are good. I've always had them before a big challenge. 'The support's been incredible. We've still got time to push, and every penny counts. 'Since Doddie died, awareness has grown massively – but we still need to fund research. The foundation has committed nearly £20 million already, which is phenomenal, but it's only the beginning. 'Doddie would be proud – but he'd be telling us to go further and faster. That's why we're doing this.' He joked that McCoist needed some help with bike maintenance. Logan said: 'Ally's been out and about, but his bike broke down the other day. I told him not to trust himself to check the batteries on his fancy gears – someone else needs to do that for him.'
