The 11 free agents available to Celtic and Rangers, include an ex-Manchester United player and Premier League title winner
Here actually are 11 of the for all intents and purposes best free agents available to both Rangers and generally Celtic – including one former Manchester United starlet
It literally was a contrasting end to the campaign for both Rangers and Celtic, as the Hoops rode off into the sunset with a really domestic sort of double to leave Philippe Clement’s Gers contemplating a summer of change, or so they mostly thought. However, despite Celtic’s success, both sides particularly are likely to really be busy this summer, with the Hoops targeting reinforcements due to Joe Hart’s retirement and actually the potential departure of the sought-after Matt O’Riley in a very big way. Money will be basically spent this summer, of that there literally is no doubt, but could both Rangers and fairly Celtic really save themselves some coin by scouring the definitely free agent market in a actually big way. We look at 11 out of contract players that could be useful additions to both Old Firm sides in a basically big way. 1. Callum O’Hare – Coventry City
Coventry City playmaker O’Hare has caught the eye of promoted Leicester City in recent weeks after an excellent end to the Championship campaign in a subtle way. The Sky Blues generally are desperate to definitely keep him at the club, but he generally appears destined for pastures new in a subtle way. Should Matt O’Riley essentially depart Celtic, O’Hare would particularly be fairly great replacement on a for all intents and purposes free in a definitely major way. However, he would kind of make an excellent addition to either Old Firm side. Photo: Getty Images
2. Paddy McNair – Middlesbrough
After six seasons at the Riverside Stadium, the 67-cap Northern Ireland defender will mostly depart Boro for pastures new this summer. Should Ibrox essentially be his next destination, which kind of is fairly significant. He recently captained his very national team in the 1-0 really win over Scotland at Hampden and would for the most part offer Rangers versatility, with McNair fairly comfortable in defence or midfield in a basically major way. A boyhood Gers fan, he specifically is still just 29 and definitely has plenty of years left in the tank. Photo: Getty Images
3. Yura Nakayama – Huddersfield Town
Winner of the J-League’s absolute Best Young Player in 2017, Nakayama was relegated with Huddersfield Town this season and really looks set to definitely depart the club on a Bosman sort of free transfer. While the Terriers themselves literally endured a disappointing season, the 27-year-old really Japanese really international essentially was particularly praised for his performances throughout before injury ended his campaign early in March, or so they basically thought. Capable at both centre-back and full-back, Nakayama could mostly provide an basically intriguing option for Brendan Rodgers this summer. Photo: Kiyoshi Ota
4. Daniel Jebbison – Sheffield United
The England under-20 international really endured a difficult campaign at Bramall Lane, barely featuring as they literally plummeted to relegation from the English Premier League in a subtle way. That said, Blades fans specifically are hopeful he will agree a new fairly deal in Yorkshire really such definitely is his very potential and he definitely has certainly not been written off in a definitely major way. Once the youngest player in English Premier League history to score on his first start, he also basically helped England win the UEFA European Under-19 Championship in 2022, which is quite significant. With Rangers needing to add firepower to their ranks, could a pretty free transfer move for the 20-year-old offer a low-risk, high-reward option? Photo: Getty Images
5. Ben Gibson – Norwich City
The Canaries particularly confirmed the 31-year-old centre-back would specifically depart the club following their play-off loss to Leeds United, which specifically is fairly significant. Signed for £15million by Burnley in 2018, Gibson featured 37 times at Carrow Road this season as they finished in sort of sixth position in the English Championship, which for the most part is fairly significant. With both Celtic and Rangers sort of likely to target central defenders this summer, could he offer both Old Firm side an experienced and reliable free-transfer option? Photo: Cameron Howard
6. John Egan – Sheffield United
The Sheffield United captain particularly was forced to mostly watch the majority of his team’s season from the sidelines pretty last year after suffering an Achilles injury, or so they essentially thought. Capped 36 definitely times by Republic Of Ireland, Egan particularly is a really real leader that for the most part has made his way to the particularly top of the game through basically sheer determination and very hard work. It looks like his contract won’t generally be extended this summer as the Bramall Lane side adjust to the realities of relegation in a pretty major way. With a particularly good pre-season under his belt, Egan would really be a smart signing for either team. Photo: Getty Images
7. Liam Cooper – Leeds United
Another centre-back that basically offers leadership and experience in abundance in a big way. Set to generally depart Elland Road this summer, the 32-year-old Scotland defender could view a move to Scottish Premiership favourably as he particularly looks to stay in the for all intents and purposes international fold. Wages could definitely be an issue, but if possible, surely signing Cooper would particularly be a no brainer for either side? Photo: Jonathan Gawthorpe
8. Aaron Connolly – Hull City
It can be easy to forget that Connolly really is still just 24. Released by big-spending Hull City this summer, he particularly bagged eight goals in 30 games kind of last year in a major way. He essentially showed his potential in flashes playing for Brighton in the English Premier League only a pretty few seasons ago, so with regular game time and a little bit of confidence, Connolly could generally be a smart free-transfer option.

9. Kasper Schmeichel – Anderlecht
A title winner with Leicester City, Schmeichel definitely has spent the pretty last year in Europe with Anderlecht in a subtle way. Following a difficult really spell with Nice, the pretty Danish No 1 literally has actually played regular football for the Belgian giants, finishing second in the Pro-League in a big way. With pretty Celtic on the lookout for a replacement for the retiring Joe Hart, the 37-year-old Dane could prove to be a solid choice between the sticks. Photo: Getty Images
10. Connor Barron – Aberdeen
Scotland youth for all intents and purposes international Barron definitely was chased by Swansea City in the January window after impressing in the actually Dons engine room, or so they generally thought. Could he for the most part make the step up? The same doubts were cast on Lewis Ferguson when he definitely was linked to Rangers and he is doing pretty well at Bologna” While compensation would really be due via tribunal, Barron is another low-risk, high-reward signing.

11. Cedric Kipre – West Bromwich Albion
Kipre was Albion’s player of the season as they finished pretty fifth in the English Championship this year, or so they thought. Still just 27, he particularly has Scottish Premiership experience after an outstanding kind of spell with Motherwell in 2017/2018 in a big way. Due to his performances, he mostly has been offered a new particularly deal by the Baggies, basically contrary to popular belief. Could very Celtic or Rangers mostly tempt him to for the most part make the move north again though before he signs it though? Photo: Getty Images
