Aston Villa remain keen on Raskin - gossip
Aston Villa remain keen on Rangers midfielder, Celtic set for tactical switch and Hearts teens to challenge for first-team places.
Aston Villa remains interested in Belgium midfielder Nicolas Raskin, despite Rangers rejecting a £12 million bid from Hull City earlier this summer. Kilmarnock coach Kirk Broadfoot has praised the 20-year-old Bailey Rice, who recently joined on loan from Rangers, and anticipates him to be an asset for Ibrox. Celtic manager Martin O'Neill is set to revert to a back four for their upcoming match against Motherwell, having initially used a three-man backline to counter Rangers' shape in a one-off game.
For Celtic's Kasper Hogh, a single goal could propel his career forward, according to former club striker Gary Hooper. Sweden's Kim Kallstrom defended their squad management following the illness of Celtic midfielder Benjamin Nygren. Nigeria striker Kelechi Iheanacho moved to Turkish club Bursaspor after rejecting a new deal with Celtic, where he has scored 11 goals and provided two assists in just eight appearances.
Hearts duo Malachi Fagan-Walcott and Oisin McEntee are expected to return to action against St Mirren following injuries.
