Elsewhere, Rangers apparently have competition from Sheffield United in the race to sign a player who has been linked with both Glasgow clubs.
Celtic star linked with Saudi Arabia move
Per a report from the Daily Record, Celtic star Reo Hatate is the latest player to be linked with a big money move to Saudi Arabia. The Japan international has also been rumoured to be on Ange Postecoglou’s radar as the former Hoops gaffer targets a reunion at Tottenham Hotspur.
The article references reports from Saudi Arabia that claim big spending Al Ittihad could be set to make a move for the 25-year old. Hatate currently had three years remaining in his current contract so Celtic should be able to command a fairly sizable fee for the player if they agree to a sale.
