We are now down to the last two weeks of the summer transfer window in Scotland, and Celtic have plenty of work still to do. Martin O'Neill still likely needs at least one more midfielder, if not two, as well as a left-back and a goalkeeper.

The Bhoys have done some good business, but they are now paying the price for a slow start to the window, needing to rush to get deals done in the final two weeks, but they won't be the only club rushing.

We are likely to see a scramble for deals around the William Hill Premiership, and with that in mind, we have rounded up all the latest rumours from around the league.

Celtic linked with Girona star

According to the Daily Record, sources in South America have claimed Celtic are interested in Girona winger Yaser Asprilla, who has struggled since his arrival from Watford a couple of years ago.

Girona were relegated last season despite only recently playing in the Champions League, but they are said to want to keep hold of their £16million investment in order to put together a strong bid to return to LaLiga at the first time of asking.

The reported interest from the Bhoys is a little surprising, given the arrival of Haissen Hassan and the likelihood of Jota returning in the next six weeks, or thereabouts.

Rangers handed Raskin blow

Rangers could well end up selling star midfielder Nicolas Raskin this summer, and Turkish giants Fenerbahce have emerged a serious contenders.

According to TeamTalk, the Turkish club have already reached out to Rangers to find out the financial conditions for the deal. They are likely to have been told that a £25million fee will be required to seal a deal.

Dundee complete Wales signing

Dundee have completed the loan signing of Swansea City starlet Bobby Wales, who has joined for the season. Wales is a Scotland under-21s international who initially made his name at Kilmarnock before moving down South.

He has so far made four senior appearances for Swansea City, while he also made five league appearances out on loan at Huddersfield Town, where he spent the second half of last season.
