The futures of Jack Butland and Matt O’Riley are likely to be firmly on the agenda again this summer after Atletico Madrid bid for the Celtic midfielder while the Gers goalkeeper was of reported Premier League interest in January.
The Old Firm game always throws up an array of extra narratives and among them this weekend are the futures of both clubs’ prized assets, as we approach the summer transfer window.
There was intense speculation in January that both Celtic midfielder Matt O’Riley and Rangers goalkeeper Jack Butland would leave Scotland, with O’Riley the subject of a significant bid from Atletico Madrid, while Rangers reportedly rejected at least one approach from a Premier League club for Butland.
