Rangers are pursuing a move for Hearts captain and Scotland forward Lawrence Shankland, with reports suggesting a deal could be wrapped up as early as next week.

The 30-year-old has attracted firm interest from Rangers, who are reportedly pushing to complete the transfer quickly before Shankland links up with Scotland's World Cup squad.

Meanwhile, at Celtic, double-winning interim manager Martin O'Neill says he expects to meet the club's major shareholder Dermot Desmond soon. O'Neill indicated he "must be in consideration" for the permanent managerial position.
