Hearts midfielder Jorge Grant, who returned to the starting lineup under head coach Neil Critchley, has spoken candidly about his future at Tynecastle. When his contract ended in the summer, the 29-year-old appeared destined to depart after struggling for consistent playing time at the beginning of the Scottish Premiership campaign. However, the Jambos have gone undefeated in three games since his return to the squad.

Grant acknowledges he is unsure if he will still play for Hearts next season, despite his recent strong play. At the end of the day, all I want to do is play football, Grant said. Now that I have it, it’s clear that I’m unsure about my position going forward. I’m not really thinking about it right now. That should occur in the summer, but whatever happens will happen. I feel like all I’m trying to do is focus on my football, support the team, and move us up the table.

Promotion chasing duo chasing Scotland cap

Scottish Championship high-flyers Falkirk and Ayr United are looking to tie up a loan deal for Ross County striker Eamonn Brophy this month in order to boost their promotion push. According to the Daily Record, Staggies boss Don Cowie is prepared to allow the 28-year-old forward to move on this month after falling out of favour at Dingwall this season. Brophy is yet to find the target in 16 appearances this season, and could be open to dropping down a division in order to reignite his career.

Capped once by Scotland following a goal-laden campaign with Kilmarnock in 2019/20, Brophy is seen as the ideal addition by both the Bairns and Ayr as they want to sign a striker that can assist fire them to the Scottish Premiership this season.

Greg Taylor latest update

Greg Taylor’s contract problem needs to be settled as quickly as possible, according to Celtics manager Brendan Rodgers. After the club was strongly linked to a transfer for Scotland international Kieran Tierney, the veteran left-back, who has only six months left on his present contract at Celtic Park, faces an unclear future. Although Dinamo Zagreb is reportedly interested in Taylor, and the Celtic manager acknowledges that his contract situation needs to be addressed, Rodgers is hoping he can persuade Taylor to stay in Glasgow despite the former Celtic player’s imminent arrival.
Either way, it was sorted. “Ideally, that’s what you always want,” Rodgers remarked. However, I have no doubt that Greg does too. In any case, I have no doubt that the club, him, and his counsel will figure something out. However, I am here to help him in the meanwhile.

Dundee return on cards for defender

According to sources, Dundee head coach Tony Docherty plans to re-sign Aaron Donnelly, a former loanee, when he signs a contract with Nottingham Forest. Last season, the defender was called up to the Northern Ireland senior squad while on loan at Dens Park, where he helped the team finish in the top six. Donnelly’s contract at the City Ground expires at the end of the current season, but he is now on loan to Colchester United in EFL League Two. However, if he moves on in the summer, Forest would be entitled to payment. According to the Daily Record, Dundee is hoping to sign a contract this month that would bring Donnelly back to the team permanently.

Should the club conclude the deal for Donnelly, he will become the club’s second signing of the month after they confirmed the arrival midfielder Cesar Garza from Monterrey on-loan earlier this week.

Rangers battle for £9m star

As Rangers look for defensive reinforcements in January, they may have to contend with four different clubs. After injuries to John Souttar, Leon Balogun, Dujon Sterling, and James Tavernier left his backline exhausted ahead of a busy schedule, Belgian manager Philippe Clement is eager to bolster his team this month. Marseille centre-back Bamo Meite is one player who has been heavily linked to a move to Ibrox over the weekend.

When OM Marseille decided to turn the 23-year-old’s loan move from relegated Lorient into a permanent contract in the summer, the defender cost the team an estimated £9 million. But according to reports, the Ivorian is available for

Clement is apparently mulling a move for the defender after initially expressing interest in the summer, and Marseille is likely to approve a permanent transfer this month. Although his former Lorient manager Regis Le Bris is linked to an ambitious move this month, it is understood that RC Lens, Montpellier, Atalanta, and Sunderland will present fierce competition should the Ibrox giants decide to make a play for the defender.

Celtic star in shock link

Six months after their protracted chase of former Hoops player Matt O’Riley, Atalanta is reportedly keeping an eye on one of Celtic’s most valuable assets. Even though Arne Engels, a Belgian, only moved to Glasgow in August, the Serie A team is reportedly closely monitoring the record signing. The 21-year-old impressed head coach Gian Piero Gasperini during the team’s Champions League 0-0 tie with the Hoops earlier in the season, according to journalist Alfredo Pedulla. Engels has been added to the Nerazzurri’s shortlist of players they may consider pursuing in the summer, despite rumours that state no bid is forthcoming.

The midfielder isn’t the only player linked to a move this month; Greg Taylor and Cameron Carter-Vickers have been linked to Dinamo Zagreb and Bayer Leverkusen, respectively.
