Celtic and Rangers ‘BOTH targeting Swedish star with Hoops and Gers scouts watching him in action'

The 23-year-old, who plays for Djurgarden in Sweden's top flight, has scored seven goals in 78 appearances for the club. 2 Djurgarden's Sports director Bosse Andersson and Oskar Fallenius Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 2 Fallenius was an unused sub for Brondby against Rangers in the Europa League in October 2021 Credit: Willie Vass Both the Hoops and the Gers have reportedly expressed an interest, sending scouts to watch the young talent at the 3Arena, according to reports in Sweden. Fallenius is currently recovering from a foot injury sustained against Rapid Vienna in the Europa Conference League in mid-April. The club's doctor Kalle Barrling said he would be out for the Spring at the time. As yet no bids have yet been made but both clubs are said to be considering an offer if the price is right, according to Swedish outlet FotbolDirekt. The attacking right winger joined Djurgarden from Brondby in 2023 for a deal believed to be around 2 million Swedish kronor (£155,000), with the Danish outfit also having a 15 per cent sell on clause. He was an unused substitute against Rangers in the Ibrox club's 2-0 win over Brondby in the Europa League in October 2021. The Sweden under 20's current contract expires at the end of 2026. Djurgarden enjoyed an impressive run in Europe this season, reaching the semi-finals of the Europa Conference League. And some of their players are attracting interest from several top European clubs. The Stockholm side knocked out Rapid Vienna and Pafos, but Chelsea proved too strong in the last four of the competition. Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has STRONGER transfer case after final defeat Fallenius scored against the Cypriots in the round of 16 clash, but did not feature against the Premier League outfit after picking up the injury against Austria Vienna in the quarter-finals. Meanwhile, Celtic are also reportedly interested in Djurgarden's Japanese full-back Keita Kosugi, as out-of-contract Greg Taylor edges closer to the Parkhead exit. Greek side PAOK are keen on signing Taylor after he failed to agree a new deal, and 19-year-old Kosugi could be seen as an ideal back-up for Kieran Tierney. Daizen Maeda, who has had a stunning season for Celtic, is being pursued by Fenerbache. The Japanese star scored 33 goals and 12 assists across all competitions, and now is being monitored by Jose Mourinho if reports in Turkey are to be believed. Another player also attracting interest from a Super Lig side is former Rangers loanee Vaclav Cerny. He is seemingly heading out the door at Bundesliga side Wolfsburg in a deal worth around £9million to join Trabzonspor.

European semi-finalist 'target' for Celtic & Rangers
The winger plies his trade for Swedish top-flight side Djurgarden. He scored once in seven appearances as his side reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Conference League this season, only to be knocked out by Premier League giants Chelsea. Read more: Fallenius is a target for Glasgow's big two, claims who say that both clubs have recently sent scouts to watch him. No bid has been made from either team as of yet. The 23-year-old has scored seven goals and assisted nine in 78 competitive appearances for Djurgarden. He is contracted with the Stockholm club until 2026. The reported interest comes not long after the 2024/25 season has come to an end in Scotland. Celtic won the Premiership title but faltered in winning a treble after losing the Scottish Cup final on penalties to Aberdeen. Rangers finished the campaign trophyless after sacking Philippe Clement in February. They remain on the hunt for a permanent manager, with names such as Davide Ancelotti and Russell Martin linked to the vacant Ibrox hotseat.
