Celtic defender Cameron Carter-Vickers is being tracked by Premier League clubs ahead of the summer transfer window, with Everton among those monitoring the Scotland international's availability, according to BBC Sport. The centre-back could be tempted to make the step up to England's top flight after establishing himself as a key player at Parkhead.
Scottish clubs are meanwhile active in the January market, with Rangers considering moves for attacking reinforcements and Celtic facing questions about their ability to recruit. BBC Sport reports on a range of developments across Scottish football as the winter transfer window approaches.
Rangers are weighing up a January approach for Djurgarden winger Oskar Fallenius, whose contract with the Swedish club expires at the end of December. The move would provide the Ibrox side with an attacking option during the second half of the season.
Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton has expressed concern that Parkhead will find it difficult to bring in quality recruits in January given the club's disappointing European campaign this season. The lack of continental success could hamper their appeal to potential signings.
Dundee will be without striker Bobby Wales until January after the on-loan Swansea player underwent surgery to address an ankle injury. The absence of the forward leaves the club short of attacking options during the crucial winter period.
Aberdeen midfielder Stuart Armstrong has insisted his side are not making excuses as they prepare to face Dundee United on Saturday despite illness affecting several squad members. The midfielder's comments suggest the Pittodrie club are determined to perform regardless of their fitness concerns.
Dundee United striker Lachlan Rose has been cleared to play against Aberdeen after recovering from an ankle injury that kept him out of training earlier in the week. His availability provides a boost to the Tannadice side ahead of the weekend fixture.
Scotland, Northern Ireland and South Africa are all competing to secure the international future of Rangers' 15-year-old winger Michael Ihmig. The young talent has attracted attention from multiple national associations as he develops at Ibrox.
