Rangers and Celtic transfer target earns bumper new price tag as contract  ticks down

A summary of the most recent Rangers and Celtic news in advance of Sunday’s historic Old Firm match.

Ahead of what promises to be one of the biggest Old Firm derbies in recent memory, Celtic and Rangers are getting ready.With hardly any football remaining, either team might end the day atop the Scottish Premiership in Sunday’s match, which will take place at Ibrox.

Rangers are now one point behind Celtic, but they have an important game coming up on Wednesday at Dundee. Securing the title might be greatly aided by either team’s victory on Sunday. In the interim, GlasgowWorld has compiled some of the most recent news from both sides of the city.

Silva’s choice

It seems unlikely that Wolves will retain the services of on-loan Rangers forward Fabio Silva, as rumors have it that the Premier League team may entertain offers this summer.According to Football Insider, manager Gary O’Neil is eager to make money off of their record-breaking £35 million signing in order to bolster his team elsewhere.

Silva was signed by Philippe Clement’s team in January for a season-long loan, and since then, the Portuguese forward has made an impact at Ibrox, scoring twice in 10 Scottish Premiership games—five of which have come off the bench. Gers is rumored to be considering the option of settling down permanently.

Rangers could be able to fulfill Clement’s January insistence that a trade of this nature would be “too expensive.” According to a source, Wolves may reduce their losses on the 21-year-old in an effort to balance the books and raise funds for O’Neil’s goals.

Ioannidis’s price tag

Resurgent sources indicate that eight European teams, including Celtic, are keeping a watch on Panathinaikos forward Fotis Ioannidis. While Serie A is the main emphasis of Italian publication Calciomercato, they also mention Parkhead as a possible destination for the Greek international.

With 18 goals in 29 appearances across all competitions, Ioannidis has had a fantastic season with Panathinaikos. Five of those goals came in six Europa League games, clearly catching the attention of fans throughout the continent. Since last year, Celtic has been connected to a move for the 24-year-old, but they may now face fierce competition.

Bologna, Stuttgart, Sporting CP, Sevilla, Eintracht Frankfurt, West Ham, and Lazio are listed as further interested parties in the article. An estimated £12.8 million is needed to relocate Ioannidis.
