Latest Updates from Celtic and Rangers as New Premiership Season Approaches
As the new Premiership season looms, both Celtic and Rangers are making headlines. Celtic’s Nicolas Kuhn is eager to achieve his Champions League dreams, while Rangers’ James Tavernier is attracting significant interest from the Saudi Pro League.
Nicolas Kuhn’s Champions League Ambitions
Celtic’s promising winger, Nicolas Kuhn, is gearing up for his first full season with the Premiership champions. The former Germany youth international, who joined Celtic from Rapid Vienna in January, had a challenging start due to dental surgery, limiting him to just 18 appearances. Despite this setback, Kuhn impressed with three goals and three assists, including a memorable goal in the Scottish Cup Final against Aberdeen.
Now fully recovered, Kuhn is ready to contribute to Brendan Rodgers’ squad on all fronts, particularly in the Champions League. Speaking to the Daily Record, Kuhn shared his excitement about the upcoming challenges: “It’ll be nice to be with the boys again. We’re looking forward to the tests against big teams in America. It’s great preparation for the Champions League and good for us to see where we stand. Playing in the Champions League has always been my biggest dream.”
James Tavernier: Saudi Pro League Beckons
Rangers captain James Tavernier’s future at Ibrox is uncertain following a lucrative offer from the Saudi Pro League. The 32-year-old wing-back, who joined Rangers in 2015, has been instrumental in the club’s successes, including winning the Premiership title, League Cup, Challenge Cup, and Scottish Cup. Tavernier also played a crucial role in Rangers’ journey to the Europa League Final in 2022.
Despite having two years left on his contract, Football Insider reports that Tavernier might leave Rangers to reunite with former manager Steve Gerrard at Al-Ettifaq. Several Saudi Pro League clubs have expressed interest in the Rangers captain, making his departure a possibility later in the transfer window.
Conclusion
With the new Premiership season on the horizon, Celtic and Rangers fans have much to look forward to. Nicolas Kuhn’s aspirations for Champions League glory and James Tavernier’s potential move to Saudi Arabia add intriguing storylines to the upcoming campaign. Stay tuned for more updates as these developments unfold.
