Midfielders across Glasgow are assessing their options ahead of the January transfer window, while international eligibility debates and training ground fixtures also make headlines across Scottish football.
Rangers midfielder Tochi Chukwuani is prepared to evaluate a departure from Ibrox in the January window if his first-team playing time does not improve, according to a report from Football Insider.
The 23-year-old could seek alternative opportunities to secure regular football.
Elsewhere for Rangers, Middlesbrough manager Kim Hellberg has advised the club against worrying over Connor Barron’s challenging spell away from Glasgow, as reported by The National.
Hellberg insisted that the “exceptional” midfielder will eventually receive his opportunity on the pitch.
At Celtic, manager considerations could lead to a temporary winter departure for Joel van den Berg, according to Football Insider.
The 19-year-old Dutch midfielder has not yet made his competitive debut for the Scottish champions following his arrival from PSV Eindhoven during the summer.
Dundee United winger Daniel Bennie, who is currently on loan from Queens Park Rangers, has found himself in the middle of a selection contest between Scotland and Australia, as reported by The Courier.
The attacker was born in Hong Kong.
In another international twist, former Newcastle United and Liverpool forward Andy Carroll revealed to The Scotsman that he had accepted an invitation to represent Scotland as a teenager, only to withdraw from the commitment at the last moment.
On the pitch, Dundee followed up their weekend 2-2 Premiership draw against Rangers by earning a 2-1 win over an Ibrox second-string squad during a training match held at Rangers’ Auchenhowie facility in Glasgow, according to the Daily Record.
