When it comes to transfer news Fabrizio Romano is effectively a blue tick.
If it is happening the Italian based transfer specialist tends to find out first with his network stretching far and wide, even to the extent of breaking Carl Starfelt’s move from Rubin Kazan to Celtic in the summer of 2021.
Romano tends to focus purely on what is happening, rarely does he react to the speculation of others, certainly not from the legacy media in Scotland trying to hype up excitement and interest around Ibrox when clearly there is virtually no transfer budget.

With Hellas Verona looking to sell Josh Doig it seems that Ridvan Yilmaz was pushed at the Italian’s as a possible replacement. It is easy to put two and two together but in this case there was never any prospect of the former Hibs defender going to Ibrox.
From a permanent move for Yilmaz the last few days have seen that prospect downgraded to a loan, the next step could well be Verona looking elsewhere for a Doig replacement.
Yesterday Philippe Clement’s frustrations boiled over when he was sent off during the closed doors defeat from Hertha Berlin in La Manga.
With another friendly coming on Tuesday at home to Copenhagen the transfer questions are going to continue with the former Monaco boss not the most diplomatic at hiding his emotions.
Is managing a fairly new company pretending to be an old, dead Glasgow football club and ‘managing’ to get sent off in a friendly a new ‘wurruld rrecord’?
HaHaHa, dumbest company on the planet follow followed by the dumbest fans.
FFS get them put down for good, everyone and anyone’s good and force Lawwell to stop supporting them with OUR money.
Lol the klan klub manager sent off in a friendly match,you couldn’t make that up.
The pressure is right on this guy and he is only one defeat away from getting the bullet or calling it a day,the STRESS will be to much for him and he will CRACK,leaving wee Quark from Deep Space 9 aka Uncle Festa aka Alex Rae.
