Here are the top Scottish transfer stories, rumours gossip on Tuesday morning, including the latest news from Celtic, Rangers, Hearts and Dundee United. Defender 'wants' Dundee United move New Dundee United signing Krisztian Keresztes has already admitted he hopes to make his loan move to Tannadice a permanent one following his arrival from Nyíregyháza Spartacus earlier this month. The Hungarian defender has made a strong first impression on supporters during pre-season with a number of impressive performances, including his display in last week's 1-0 Conference League qualifying win over UNA Strassen - and now he wants to ensure he builds on his bright start in order to seal a permanent switch. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'I am the type of person who wants to improve day by day and learn my negatives – then be better the next time,' he told The Courier. 'That is always my mentality, and I need to keep going that way. I spoke to my old manager Krisztian Timar, who played at Plymouth and was a defender. He congratulated me after the move and told me Scotland would be a good league for me. Yes [I'd like to sign permanently], I hope so. I will work hard and let's see what life will bring. I will give 100% every day and what will be, will be.' Dundee United new boy Krisztian Keresztes has made a strong first impression at Tannadice. | SNS Group Hearts deal 'in place' Hearts boss Derek McInnes is set to add to further add to his squad this summer, with the signing of Valur midfielder Tomas Bent Magnusson edging closer to completion. The Tynecastle outfit were reported to have launched a bid for the 22-year-old on Friday, though McInnes refused to be drawn on rumours of a deal being reached following the 3-0 weekend win over Sunderland, saying: 'I don't really want to comment on anything until anything's over the line'. According to Valur chief Bjorn Steinar Jonsson though, the transfer to Gorgie is close to being rubber stamped. '[The move] is more or less in place,' said Jonsson. 'We are just working on finalising it. I met Tomas on Sunday night at our game and he was not sure which day he will go – probably in the next few days he will travel to Scotland for a medical. Tomas has taken a big step with us this season and has been an important player for us. If he continues and takes the next step, he can definitely be strong enough for Scotland.' Derek McInnes is close to add to further addition at Tynecastle this summer. | SNS Group Ex-Rangers hero 'walks out' Former Rangers midfielder John Lundstram has made the shock decision to leave Turkish Super League outfit Trabzonspor this summer, with reports claiming he 'walked out' out of the club's pre-season camp at the weekend, informing the club of his decision to quit. Famously remembered for scoring the winning goal in the 3-1 Europa League semi-final second leg victory over RB Leipzig, the former Sheffield United man played over 100 games for the Gers before moving to Papara Park last summer alongside fellow ex-Rangers star Borna Barisic, following the expiry of their contracts at Ibrox. Lundstram is now tipped to join EFL Championship side Hull City.

The former AFC Bournemouth youngster was signed by Steven Gerrard in the summer of 2021 following an impressive spell on loan to Wycombe Wanderers. He failed to play a single minute of football at Ibrox though, due to a heart issue that was discovered shortly after he joined the club. Ex-Rangers hero John Lundstram is set to return to UK shores after 'leaving' Trabzonspor over the weekend. | AFP via Getty Images Celtic 'keen' on 18-goal ace Celtic head coach Brendan Rodgers is ready to rival English Premier League clubs for the signing of Burnley star Josh Brownhill, after the midfielder confirmed he was departing Turf Moor this summer in an emotional address to fans. The Clarets captain played a major role as Scott Parker's side won promotion back to the English Premier League last season, scoring 18-goals as they finished in second place in the EFL Championship. However, the 29-year-old has opted to leave the club following the expiry of his contract, telling fans he had made the 'unbelievably difficult decision" to depart on Monday afternoon, adding that he felt it was the "right time for me to start the next part of my journey in football". According to a report from the Daily Record, that news will see the Hoops eye a move that would bring the player to Celtic Park this summer, though they face tough competition from long-term admirers West Ham United.

Rangers ‘agree fee', Celtic ‘weigh up' surprise move, Hibs landed Triantis blow

These are the top Scottish transfer stories, rumours and gossip on Monday morning, including the latest news from Rangers, Celtic, Hibs and the Scotland national team. Hibs dealt Triantis blow Hibs hopes of bringing Nectar Triantis back to Easter Road this summer are looking 'increasingly unlikely' according to a report from the Daily Record. A standout player for the capital outfit after joining on loan from Sunderland last summer, head coach David Gray is keen on reuniting with the 22-year-old midfielder, with Hibs seeking a permanent deal for Triantis. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Sunderland head coach Regis Le Bris had provided an update on the Aussie midfielder at the weekend, who was absent from the Black Cats squad in their 3-0 friendly defeat to Hearts at the weekend for Craig Gordon's testimonial. 'All I can say right now is that we are trying our best to improve the team,' said Le Bris. 'We will have to see what happens. If you look at the Hearts game, then it looks as though we are far away from where we need to be. That is clear. But at the same time, it is always a work in progress.' However, while Triantis may still leave the Stadium of Light this summer, the report claims the chances of him joining Hibs are growing slimmer by the day due to the player's 'significant wage increase' as a result of the Sunderland's promotion back to the English Premier League. Clubs in the EFL Championship, German Bundesliga and MLS are believed to be eyeing a move for the Australian. Sunderland defender Nectar Triantis is a wanted man this summer. | Chris Fryatt Scotland star 'opens talks' Motherwell wonderkid Lennon Miller is edging closer to the Fir Park exit door, according to a report from transfer guru Nicolò Schira. The teenager midfielder is in the final year of his contract, and has been linked with a move to Celtic, Sunderland and clubs in the German Bundesliga this summer after impressing on his full international debut vs Liechtenstein in June. Head coach Jens Berthel Askou had denied denied the player was close to a departure last Friday, saying 'he's still a Motherwell player and we're very happy to have him here.' However, it now looks like the 18-year-old could be joining international teammate Lewis Ferguson at Bologna, after the Coppa Italia champions were said to have opened negotiations with Motherwell over a deal that would see him join I Rossoblu. The report states that talks are ongoing between the two clubs, with Miller offered a contract until 2029 at the Renato Dall'Ara Stadium, with the option to deal for a further year.

The 38-year-old veteran had been strongly tipped to move to Glasgow rivals Rangers earlier this summer, after bringing his 13-year stay at the King Power Stadium to an end in June, though no move to Ibrox materialised. The report claims that West Ham United are ready to offer Vardy a route back to the English Premier League, with head coach Graham Potter a big admirer of the player, though he intends to use him more as an impact substitute at the London Stadium. His former boss at Leicester, Rodgers is said to be 'weighing up' the decision to launch a bid for the experienced free agent, with the Hoops head coach keen to strengthen his attacking options ahead of the Scottish Premiership opener against St Mirren later this week. Jamie Vardy has interest from Celtic, according to a fresh report. | Getty Images Rangers 'agree fee' Rangers are closing in on their eighth signing of the summer after agreeing a deal with Go Ahead Eagles for winger Oliver Antman, as per numerous reports. The 23-year-old, who is valued at around £5million, was one of the Eredivisie's standout players last season, but is set to become Russell Martin's newest summer arrival at Ibrox, with a deal likely to be completed 'in the next 24 to 48 hours.' Linked to Sheffield United earlier in the window, it appears Rangers have stolen a march on the Blades in the race for Antman, who scored seven goals and assisted a further 17 for his side last season. It is claimed that the two clubs came to an agreement over a transfer fee over the weekend, and contracts talks with the player have progressed quickly. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad
