Here is your Monday evening transfer bulletin as Celtic face rejection, Rangers eye two signings, an AC Milan striker is targeted while an SPFL star departs for Serie A... Three Celtic bids rejected Celtic have had three bids rejected for Go Ahead Eagles midfielder Jakob Breum, according to reports in the Netherlands. The reports claim Celtic made an initial bid of £1.3million, which was swiftly rejected, and the most recent offer also fell well short of his club's valuation. The 21-year-old, who is under contract until 2027, joined Go Ahead as a left winger from Odense two years ago but was transformed into a central attacking midfield player. The Denmark Under-21 international delivered 10 goals and five assists in the Eredivisie last season.

The Serbian Under-21 international was linked with the Dons last season but no deal was agreed. According to Sky Sports, Aberdeen have returned to the table with the San Siro giants now considering selling the 21-year-old with a sell-on clause attached. Lazetic has made just two appearances for the Milan first-team and has spent most of his time with the Serie A side's development squad since joining from Red Star Belgrade in 2021. The 6ft 4in striker forward spent last season on loan at TSC back in his homeland, scoring three times in 43 appearances. He has also had loan spells with Fortuna Sittard in the Eredivisie and Rheindorf Altach in the Austrian Bundesliga. Lazetic is the nephew of Nikola Lazetic, who earned 25 caps for Serbia and Montenegro and is now president of the Serbian FC. Another uncle, Zarko Lazetic, played over 250 games for clubs in Serbia, Greece and Indonesia before becoming a manager. He is currently the boss of Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel.

The 17-year-old was left out of new manager Thomas Frank's 29-man squad for the pre-season trip to Hong Kong, remaining behind on Sunday as his team-mates departed for the Far East. Moore was left behind as he is expected to leave the club on loan and Rangers have reportedly emerged as favourites for his signature.

The wide player stayed on the bench as Ange Postecoglou's side beat Manchester United in the final in Bilbao. He then represented England in the Under-19 European Championship. While Rangers are hoping to sign a teenager from the Premier League, they have lost two others. Newcastle have announced that they have signed 16-year-old Scotland youth internationals Oliver Goodbrand and Alfie Hutchison from Rangers for their Under-18 squad. Defender Goodbrand was a regular for Rangers Under-18s and made his B team debut in a Glasgow Cup win over Partick Thistle. Hutchison, who scored two goals in another Glasgow Cup triumph over Queen's Park, had joined Rangers from Hearts 12 months ago. Meanwhile, reports in the Netherlands claim Rangers are preparing a bid for Go Ahead Eagles winger Oliver Antman. The 23-year-old Finland international delivered six goals and 15 assists during his first season in the Eredivisie after joining from Nordsjaelland.

'We know what we want to be in three years and now we're in the second season. 'We're still building and trying to get the team in the direction we want it to look like after three years, so nothing has changed in one way. 'It's a small change, how we want to look, how we want to grow and which qualities and capacity we want in the team.' 3 Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

Dundee United have discovered who they will face in the next round of UEFA Conference League qualifying if they defeat UNA Strassen. Jim Goodwin's side face the minnows from Luxembourg in the second qualifying round with the away first leg taking place on Thursday followed by the return leg at Tannadice Park seven days later. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The draw for the third qualifying round was made at the House of European Football in Nyon, Switzerland on Monday with United among the unseeded clubs. Dundee United are battling to qualify for the UEFA Conference League. | AFP via Getty Images There were various possibilities for United which included potential trips to Turkey, Netherlands, Bulgaria and Moldova, among others. However, they have been handed a tough draw with the winner of their tie against UNA Strassen set to face the winner of the tie between Rapid Vienna of Austria and Montenegrin outfit FK Dečić. Rapid Vienna qualified for the Conference League after finishing fifth in last season's Austrian Bundesliga before defeating LASK in a play-off for the last European place on offer. They reached the quarter-finals of the Conference League last term before succumbing to Djurgården of Sweden. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad FK Dečić, meanwhile, finished fourth in the Montenegrin top flight last season and reached the third qualifying round of the Conference League before exiting at the hands of HJK Helsinki. Rapid Vienna are big favourites to progress through that tie so United will be anticipating a trip to Austria if they avoid what would be a humiliating defeat to UNA Strassen. The tie would stir memories of United's famous run to the European Cup semi-finals in 1984 with Rapid Vienna defeated in the quarter-finals on the away goals rule after a 2-2 draw on aggregate. The Conference League third qualifying round ties take place on August 7 and August 14, with the draw for the play-off round being held on Monday, August 4.

Marco Tilio expected to join Rapid Vienna on loan from Celtic
Marco Tilio is set to join Austrian outfit Rapid Vienna on loan from Scottish giants Celtic, ending any faint hopes Melbourne City had that the Socceroos winger would return to the club for the 2025-26 A-League campaign. City coach Aurelio Vidmar last week said it was 'highly likely we won't have the return of Marco' after Tilio had spent the previous season and a half on loan to the Melbourne club, who are the reigning A-League champions. Since then, the 23-year-old attacking weapon was used as a second-half substitute by Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers in the Hoops' 4-0 weekend trial win over English Premier League club Newcastle United. However, reports suggest Tilio – who signed a five-year deal with Celtic in June 2023 – is heading to Vienna for a loan spell with Rapid, who finished fifth in last season's Austrian Bundesliga. Sky Sport has reported the deal will have an obligation clause for Rapid to buy Tilio if he makes 20 competitive appearances for the club. Celtic, whose reported loan fee is more than $710,000, will pocket about $2.6m if Tilio ends up joining Rapid on a permanent deal. City's director of football Michael Petrillo said: 'While we were keen to extend his stay and continued discussions with Celtic, we fully support Marco's ambition to once again challenge himself in Europe. 'We thank him for everything he's contributed to the Melbourne City and wish him every success in the next stage of his career.' Rapid's first competitive match of the new season is a Europa Conference League qualifier on Friday morning (AEST) against Montenegrin club FK Decic. A good start to the season will help Tilio's chances of being retained in the Socceroos squad for September's two matches against New Zealand in Canberra and Auckland. Meanwhile, former Melbourne City defender Scott Galloway has departed Auckland FC after just one season at the club.

Celtic winger Marco Tilio 'set' for Rapid Vienna move
After contributing five goals and five assists in a temporary spell at Melbourne City last season, the 23-year-old played less than 30 minutes in the Parkhead club's 4-0 pre-season win over Newcastle United on Saturday. He has made only two senior appearances for Celtic since his summer 2023 signing from Melbourne City. Read more: Sky Sports Austria claims that Tilio is 'set' to join Rapid in a loan deal that includes an option for a permanent transfer, though talks of a full move are said to be ongoing. Melbourne City manager Aurelio Vidmar recently weighed in on the winger's future. He said [NewsWire]: "It's clear with Marco that he's been pretty keen to go back to Europe. "He was involved in a friendly game last weekend, so it's highly likely we won't have the return of Marco, but we just don't know where that's going to end. "He's part of Celtic's property. "We don't own the player, so we'll see where that goes. "There'll be ongoing discussions until we actually know what's happening before we make the next move." Tilio's potential move to the Austrian Bundesliga could give the young player more first-team opportunities.
