Due to storm damage at Celtic Park, Celtic’s Scottish Premiership match against Dundee has been postponed.
This means that Brendan Rodgers’ team will take a long break before Wednesday night’s Champions League match against Aston Villa. In the meantime, Villa will play West Ham at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday.
Before playing Villa on Wednesday night, Celtic will have played their final game seven days ago, and Emery’s team will have three days off.
For Villa to have the best chance of placing in the top eight of the league phase table, they must win the match.
Rangers are apparently getting closer to winning the race to recruit a Scottish star, a rerun of their previous agreement for Connor Barron, with just over a week remaining until the transfer window closes.
News about Rangers transfers The Gers have already used the transfer market once this month to increase Philippe Clement’s defensive options and bring in Rafael Fernandes. They now appear to be focusing on adding a summer acquisition to the center of their midfield.
“It is great to have Rafael joining Rangers for the rest of the season and he is another exciting young talent to add to our squad,” Rangers technical director Nils Koppen said in a statement posted on the team website upon Fernandes’ arrival.
“We wanted to bolster the defensive area this window, and Rafael’s addition is fantastic. He can definitely keep improving at Rangers, and I’m excited to watch him compete for playing time against our defense guys in the upcoming weeks,
However, the Gers have already focused on another reinforcement, so they haven’t wasted any time admiring their new defender. Rangers are reportedly close to acquiring Lyall Cameron, which would allow them to outbid and stave off any interest from rivals in the Scottish Premiership, according to the Daily Mail. Aberdeenmonths, and maybe even seasons.
Rangers are apparently going to give Cameron the salary he is requesting in order to sign him, even though Aberdeen can give the Dundee midfielder greater playing time. Rangers, who signed Barron from Aberdeen last summer, are expected to strike a deal to sign the Dundee star when his contract expires in the summer.
Cameron’s “decisive” style is impressive. A transfer away from Dundee always seemed likely for a player of Cameron’s skill after he was nominated for the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year award the previous season.
The 22-year-old midfielder is a budding talent who can only get better, and Rangers would probably benefit from a quick move to sign him.
“Cameron also, a very good midfielder, creative midfielder, with decisive action in the last pass and a good solid base behind him also,” Clement told reporters during his press conference following Rangers’ 1-1 draw with Dundee a few weeks ago, according to PLZ Soccer. This indicates that Clement is already a fan of Cameron.
With eight goals and seven assists in all competitions, Cameron’s inventiveness has never been more evident than it is this season, and Rangers should give him every chance to showcase that aspect of his game when he gets to Ibrox.
The Gers might at least have one bright spark waiting for them at the conclusion of the season, one who could help turn things around, after a season filled with failure in the Scottish Premiership.
