SO SAD:Brendan Rodgers Confirmed the suspension of James Forrest few minutes ago
Celtic and Rangers are back in action this weekend with both eyeing fast starts in a Scottish Premiership title race that offers little room for error. Brendan Rodgers’ Hoops have the early advantage, winning their opening two games against Kilmarnock and Hibs without conceding a goal, while Rangers dropped two early points with an opening-day 0-0 draw at Hearts.
Philippe Clement’s side are the first in action this weekend, hosting Ross County at Ibrox on Saturday afternoon before Celtic go to St. Mirren on Sunday. And both know the importance of a win and the chance to carry momentum through to next week’s first Old Firm derby of the season. Ahead of another big week in the Scottish Premiership, Glasgow World has rounded up some of the latest stories from both sides of the city.
Millwall have confirmed the signing of Celtic teenager Daniel Kelly four months earlier than first planned. The Championship club had agreed a pre-contract arrangement with the 18-year-old ahead of a January move, but after reaching a fresh agreement with the Hoops, that move has been fast-tracked and he joins up with them this summer.
Kelly made six first-team appearances for boyhood club Celtic last season and was well-regarded by those in charge of youth development at Parkhead, but turned down a new contract offer in favour of a move south to the English Championship outfit. He is expected to play a part in Millwall’s first-team plans for the upcoming campaign.
“Dan comes in with real potential to thrive as a Millwall-type midfield player,” Lions head coach Neil Harris told The South London Press. “I’ve talked before about him being energetic, box-to-box and a big character – all the traits that a Millwall midfielder needs. He comes in as a first-team player, not in terms of the U21 group. We all have high hopes for him, but we have to make sure we’re realistic as well.”
