The Scottish Premiership rumor mill is heating up as clubs look to bolster their squads for the upcoming season. Aberdeen are reportedly preparing a move for experienced Hibernian forward Martin Boyle, who will become a free agent this summer after his contract expires. The 33-year-old attacker could bring valuable firepower to the Dons' frontline.
Meanwhile, Celtic are showing interest in versatile US international defender George Campbell. The 24-year-old West Bromwich Albion star could add depth to the Hoops' backline as they look to strengthen their defensive options.
However, Celtic may face disappointment in their pursuit of Venezia midfielder Issa Doumbia. The 22-year-old, valued at £12 million, has attracted attention from Premier League clubs and Serie A sides, potentially pricing the Scottish champions out of the race.
In other transfer news, former Rangers youth product Robbie Ure is making waves in Sweden, leading Sirius to the top of the Allsvenskan with his goals. The 22-year-old striker dreams of a return to Ibrox and a Scotland call-up, though he hasn't ruled out representing Ukraine.
Rangers center-half Emmanuel Fernandez has been linked with a move to Premier League leaders Arsenal, but former Gunners striker Alan Smith has cast doubt on the transfer, noting the 24-year-old has only had one standout season at Ibrox.
Hearts' Lewis Neilson faces an uncertain future, with the 22-year-old currently on loan at Falkirk. He's open to signing a new contract and heading out on loan again if regular first-team football isn't guaranteed.
St Johnstone manager Simo Valakari is eager to keep captain Jason Holt at McDiarmid Park, while striker Ruari Paton sees a return to Saints as a "great option" after parent club Port Vale's relegation to League Two.
Finally, former Celtic midfielder Massimo Donati is in contention for the managerial role at Romanian giants Steaua Bucharest, while Mick Kennedy and Gary Naysmith are being considered for the vacant Ayr United job after impressive seasons with East Kilbride and Stenhousemuir respectively.
