Scottish Football Speculation: Celtic’s Palma Eyed by MLS, Plus Club News

Celtic winger Luis Palma, 24, who has appeared seven times for the club this season, is reportedly being considered for a transfer to Major League Soccer, potentially leaving in January, according to The Sun. Goalkeeper Ross Doohan, 26, is anticipated to play against his former team, Celtic, when Aberdeen hosts the Scottish Premiership leaders on Wednesday. This comes after an injury sustained by Dimitar Mitov, 27, as reported by The Sun. Midfielder Leighton Clarkson, 23, stated that Aberdeen will approach their match against Celtic without “no fear factor,” according to the Record. Clarkson also expressed his belief that Celtic might encounter difficulties playing at a “raucous Pittodrie,” as reported by the Press and Journal. Ross County manager Don Cowie commended goalkeeper Jack Hamilton, 30, for his performance as a half-time substitute in the 5-0 defeat at Celtic Park, particularly after Hamilton overcame an illness, according to the Press and Journal. Kilmarnock goalkeeper Robby McCrorie, 26, is still “learning on the job,” according to his manager Derek McInnes. Both are preparing to face their former club Rangers at Ibrox on Wednesday, the Record reported. Forward Musa Drammeh, 23, previously expressed concerns that he had made an error by joining Hearts, following his exclusion from their Conference League squad, as per the Record. However, Drammeh now believes his career at Hearts is “ready to flourish,” according to the Scotsman. Hibernian head coach David Gray considers it “great” that forward Mykola Kuharevich, 23, is eager to improve, the Edinburgh Evening News reported. Gray also noted that Luke Amos and Jake Doyle-Hayes are striving to return to play for Hibs but will need to contend for their positions against current teammates, as per the Scotsman. Defender Jack Sanders, 25, has observed improvements at St Johnstone since the recent appointment of manager Simo Valakari, according to the Courier. The long-standing prohibition in Scottish football against televising live matches at 15:00 on a Saturday, a rule established in the early 1960s, may be lifted before the close of the current decade, the Herald reported.
