“Rangers Star’s SHOCKING £21M Exit Looms as Celtic Legend Warns: Third Old Firm Defeat Will CRUSH Title Dreams!”

Thursday Afternoon Round-Up: Celtic and Rangers News

Newly-crowned Scottish Premiership champions Celtic will make the short journey across Glasgow to face arch-rivals Rangers at Ibrox this weekend in the final Old Firm clash of the season.

 

Having secured their 55th league title last Saturday, the Hoops are in celebratory spirits, while their city rivals prepare for what could be one of the most pivotal and demanding summers in the club’s history.

 

As attention turns to both clubs’ futures, here are the latest headlines making waves on Thursday afternoon:

 

European Heavyweights Circle for Ex-Rangers Flop Fabio Silva

 

Fabio Silva, who struggled to make an impact during a brief loan spell at Rangers, has dramatically revived his career and is now reportedly attracting interest from several top European sides ahead of the upcoming transfer window.

 

The 22-year-old forward is expected to leave Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers permanently this summer.

 

Wolves signed Silva in a club-record £35 million move three years ago, but the Portuguese striker never truly settled in England, netting only four times in 62 Premier League appearances.

 

Although his stint in Glasgow failed to spark much enthusiasm, his fortunes have taken a positive turn since moving to Spain.

 

This season, while on loan at La Liga club Las Palmas, Silva has scored 10 goals in 26 appearances across all competitions and recently earned a call-up to Portugal’s senior national team.

 

His strong performances earned him the accolade of La Liga’s Under-23 Player of the Month for April.

 

Despite being contracted to Wolves until 2026, a return to Molineux appears unlikely.

 

According to the Express & Star, Wolves are planning to sell Silva, with reports from Spanish outlet La Provincia suggesting they’ve set a £21 million asking price.

 

Several clubs are believed to be monitoring Silva’s situation closely, including La Liga giants Atletico Madrid and Villarreal, alongside Bundesliga contenders Eintracht Frankfurt and Stuttgart.

 

However, Las Palmas’ own future could influence any permanent move, as they currently sit 18th in the La Liga table, two points from safety with five games remaining.

 

Peter Grant Warns Celtic Against Derby Complacency

 

Despite having clinched the title, former Celtic midfielder and club legend Peter Grant believes that a third consecutive derby defeat to Rangers would slightly tarnish the shine of their successful campaign.

 

Speaking ahead of the weekend’s Old Firm encounter, Grant emphasized that pride and momentum still matter and that Celtic will be determined to finish the season on a high, rather than handing their rivals a morale-boosting result.
