Here are the top Scottish transfer stories, rumours and gossip on Wednesday morning, including the latest news from Rangers, Celtic, Hibs and the Scotland national team. 19-cap Scotland man released Scotland international defender Liam Cooper is on the lookout for a new club after seeing his contract at CSKA Sofia terminated by mutual consent just 11 months into his deal. The 19-cap centre back moved to the Bulgarian top flight last summer following a 10-year spell with Leeds United, playing 24 times at the Stadion Balgarska Armia.

The club and the defender have terminated their contractual relations by mutual consent. The Scot joined the "army" in September 2024 and played 27 matches, scoring one goal. We thank Liam and wish him health, luck and success both personally and professionally.' Meanwhile, Scotland Women youngster Emma Watson is set to join ex-Rangers head coach Jo Potter at Crystal Palace this summer, with Manchester United midfielder closing in on a season-long loan. As per an exclusive report from The Cutback's Conner Roberts, the 19-year-old has interest from several clubs, though it is the WSL2 outfit who have won the battle for her signature. Scotland international Liam Cooper is a free agent following his release from CSKA Sofia. | Getty Images Ex-Hibs man undergoes medical Former Hibs hero Ryan Porteous is edging closer to a move to the MLS after the Scotland international travelled to Los Angeles to undergo a medical with LAFC on Tuesday. The Watford defender has two years left on his current deal at Vicarage Road, having joined the second tier club from Hibs in 2022, but has been deemed surplus to requirements by the Hornets after his underwhelming loan spell at Preston North End in the second-half a last season. According to Sky Sports, the 26-year-old is now closing in on a move to the BMO Stadium this summer, with the two clubs said to have agreed a deal worth around £872,000, with a 50% sell-on clause inserted into the deal by Watford.

According to reports, the Hoops boss has 'taken a shine' to the 20-year-old Spanish midfielder, who spent last season on loan with Las Palmas, and is now ready to launch a bid to bring the player to Celtic Park on a loan-to-buy deal. A Spanish youth international, Bajcetic was signed for a fee of £224,000 from Celta Vigo in 2020 as a 16-year-old, but has struggled for first team football at Anfield, making just 22 appearances for the club since his arrival. Elsewhere, the Hoops continue to be foiled in their bid to bring Danish winger Breum to the club, having had a third bid rejected for the 21-year-old earlier this week. The young Dane scored 11 goals and assisted a further six in the Eredivisie last season, and is said to be keen on the move to the Scottish champions, though Celtic appear to have his a stumbling block over their valuation of the youngster. Several reports claim the clubs are too far apart in their valuation of the player, with Celtic 'cautious about overextending their budget' this summer. Celtic have been frustrated in their pursuit of Go Ahead Eagles winger Jakob Breum. | ANP/AFP via Getty Images Rangers move in doubt Rangers head coach Russell Martin's hopes of landing winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi have been dealt a potential blow after Crystal Palace head coach Oliver Glasner admitted he does not want to lose any more players this summer. The 22-year-old is said to be a key target for the Gers, who are thought to be considering a move after he scored seven goals in 35 matches on loan to Sheffield United last season. Currently nursing a knock, reports claim Rak-Sakyi would be 'open' to making the switch to Ibrox, hower, Eagles boss Glasner appears to have poured cold water on the switch, calling on the club's board to ensure no more players are sold this summer.

Three Hearts players fighting to be fit for the SPFL Premiership opener against Aberdeen
Season 2025/26 begins at Tynecastle in front of the Sky Sports cameras Sign up to our Hearts newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to Edinburgh News, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Three Hearts players must prove their fitness over the coming days to be ready for Monday's opening Premiership game against Aberdeen. Management hope to have midfielders Calem Nieuwenhof and Beni Baningime available along with defender Christian Borchgrevink, with all three fighting to be ready in time. Head coach Derek McInnes is already without centre-back Jamie McCart through injury and midfielder Yan Dhanda because of suspension. Monday marks McInnes' league debut in charge of Hearts and a full crowd is expected at Tynecastle Park for a match Sky Sports will broadcast live. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The next few days will determine which of the three injured players can make the squad. Nieuwenhof was substituted after 22 minutes of Saturday's friendly against Sunderland due to tightness in his hamstring. The 24-year-old's issue is not thought to be serious, though, as McInnes explained to the Edinburgh News. 'I spoke to Calem and the physios and they don't seem too concerned about it. We are hoping he will train later in the week, Friday into Saturday,' said the manager. 'I don't think he feels it's too bad so it's a wee bit precautionary. We haven't sent him for a scan or anything. If we were worried about it, we probably would have. It will just be seeing how Calem comes through when he's back training. If he has a clean bill of health then he will be available for Monday. I expect him to be available, based on what I'm being told. The good thing is he has that extra bit of time with the game still five days away. I think he'll be alright.' Baningime missed the last two of Hearts' four Premier Sports Cup group matches, plus the Sunderland friendly, because of a slight medial ligament strain caused by slipping in training. 'Beni still has a wee bit more work to do,' admitted McInnes. 'He's back running on Thursday and, if he comes through that, then hopefully he might be able to train by the weekend. That one is still a bit more of a doubt, but we certainly haven't ruled him out for Monday. I wouldn't want to rule Beni out.' Scottish Premiership kick-off on the horizon Right-back Borchgrevink was withdrawn at half-time in Hearts' third Premier Sports Cup tie at Stirling Albion and hasn't featured since. He also has a hamstring issue but McInnes is confident he will be ready for the Aberdeen fixture. The Norwegian is due to train with the first team at Riccarton today before Hearts play a closed-door bounce game. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'Borchgrevink will train today. We will just avoid playing him in the game because he only did part of the session yesterday,' explained McInnes. 'We took the liberty just to train him so we can control that a wee bit more, rather than playing him in the game. I don't think he is too much of a concern for Monday. I think he will be fine. 'I thought young Adam Forrester did well on Saturday so we're delighted with him. He will play in the game today to top his minutes up. The closed-door game just gives everybody a chance to be ready for the game on Monday, if called upon.'

Oliver Antman tees up Rangers transfer as £5m winger makes Ibrox revamp fit his demanding criteria
The ambitious 23-year-old is wanted by Russell Martin as a marquee arrival to underline the new era led by Andrew Cavenagh and Co Top Rangers target Oliver Antman admits he is primed and ready to make the switch to Ibrox with Go Ahead Eagles close to sanctioning his £5million exit to Glasgow. The ambitious 23-year-old is wanted by Russell Martin as a marquee arrival to underline the new era led by Andrew Cavenagh and the 49ers with talks well under way. And Antman admits he is relishing a transfer. In a searingly honest interview in the Netherlands with Voetbal International, he said: "Last season was so good for me that the next step would be logical. If something good comes along, I'm willing to take on that challenge." According to Antman, the time is ripe for a transfer which is complicated somewhat by Celtic's protracted chase of his Eagles team-mate Jakob Breum. The KNVB Cup Winners – participating in the Europa League – expect their two star turns to exit this summer. It's understood Breum has his heart set on Celtic, however, Eagles supremo Jan Streuer is adamant the Premiership champions are below their asking price with Twente. And Antman reckons he is now ready to step off the conveyor belt of ready-made talent which has earned Go Ahead a reputation as one of the best finishing schools in European football. added: "I do think this is the moment to take a step, just like Simonis and Enric Llansana did. The club wouldn't have expected me to be worth four times what they paid for me a year ago either." Antman admits he's in no rush to exit Eagles unless the offer is right. But the Finland international made sure that Rangers make the list for his strict criteria despite one day dreaming of starring in one of the world's biggest leagues. He said : "I'm enjoying myself, and the Europa League matches are fantastic to experience. That's a special stage for me too. If nothing good comes along, why would I go? I want to play in a top league one day and compete in the Champions League. "A club in a top-five league would be fantastic, but there are also great clubs in other countries." Martin is linked with a clutch of wingers with England youth international Jesurun Rak Sakyi wanted on an initial loan with a £10million option to buy. And Tottenham wonder boy Mikey Moore is another Martin is keen on.
