The Scottish Premiership has a lively future ahead in the transfer market with the clubs preparing themselves for the 2019/20 campaign. There have been some major moves afoot. Players are coming and going, some clubs shoring up their squad as they prepare for an unforgiving next few months. Notable transfers include Elton Kabangu’s move to Hearts, Lennon Miller’s switch to Udinese, and multiple signings by Rangers and Celtic.
The arrival of Elton Kabangu from Union Saint-Gilloise on a three-year contract is one of the most high-profile transfers to the squad this offseason. It’s likely that the talented forward will have a big impact next year as a freshman. Meanwhile, Lennon Miller’s transfer to Udinese from Motherwell for £4.7 million highlights the growing trend of Scottish players moving abroad for promising opportunities.
Especially the Rangers, who have been super busy in the transfer window, adding multiple new players to bolster their roster. Lyall Cameron has signed from Dundee for an undisclosed fee. Max Aarons, on a season-long loan from Bournemouth, and Joe Rothwell, signed on a three-year contract after arriving from Bournemouth. The club made headlines with Emmanuel Fernandez’s acquisition from Peterborough for £3.5 million and Djeidi Gassama’s signing from Sheffield Wednesday for £2.2 million. Mikey Moore has joined Rangers on loan from Tottenham, showcasing the club’s strategy of incorporating both experienced and youthful talent.
Key Transfers to Hearts and Udinese
This transfer to Hearts realizes a dream scenario for the young forward. His new three-year contract with the club makes it clear they want to continue developing him and his skills in a highly competitive environment. Kabangu is one of the players legendary for his speed and technical ability. His target will be to establish himself as a regular starter and have a big say in Hearts’ campaign.
Lennon Miller’s transfer to Udinese is a real momentum move for a talent taking a major leap forward. That £4.7 million transfer illustrates the increasing player appreciation from deeper, fancier leagues with more cash among the Scottish Premiership ranks. Udinese are excited by Miller’s potential. His impending switch to Serie A will provide him invaluable experience against higher-level competition.
Both these transfers show how the landscape of Scottish football is changing, with clubs ready and willing to take a punt on young talent. Each of these players is getting comfortable in their new surroundings. We know our fans can’t either, but stay tuned to see how they adapt and perform in their respective leagues!
Rangers’ Transfer Strategy
They’re hell bent on assembling a powerful roster as they head into the 2022 season. The club is clearly in the process of shoring up all of the roster’s weak points. They are doing this through a combination of permanent signings and loan deals.
The most eye-catching signing is probably the capture of Youssef Chermiti from Everton for £10 million. This is a sign of Rangers’ real intent to improve their attacking options. This investment underlines that. Additionally, the acquisition of Max Aarons on loan from Bournemouth provides an experienced right-back who can contribute both defensively and offensively.
Additionally, signing Joe Rothwell on a free from Bournemouth gives Rangers plenty of depth in midfield. His playmaking skill will be needed as the team has designs on better game management this year. With several other signings including Emmanuel Fernandez and Djeidi Gassama, Rangers are poised to challenge for top honors this year.
Between their proactive transfer strategy and a clear roadmap for improvement and competitiveness within the league, the future is bright in Columbus. As they bring more and more new players into their surprisingly strong system, fans have to be excited about what’s ahead.
Celtic’s Strategic Moves
Celtic has equally been impressive in the transfer market, reinforcing his team’s squad. The return of Kieran Tierney from Arsenal on a free transfer has delighted fans who remember his impactful performances during his previous tenure with the club. Tierney’s leadership and defensive instincts will be critical as Celtic looks to restore its place at the top of the Scottish football food chain.
Besides Tierney, Celtic has made the signings of Swedish attackers Mo Bangura and Tonny Vilhena. Nicolas Kuhn’s departure to Como for £16.5 million reflects both his talent and the growing market value of players in the league. The club has already strengthened its roster, signing Shin Yamada from Kawasaki Frontale for £1.5 million.

Sebastian Tounetki’s arrival from Hammarby IF for £5.2 million highlights Celtic’s commitment to bolstering their ranks ahead of a challenging season. Celtic strengthens their squad as much with returnees as with signings. That combination makes them one of the most interesting teams as they prepare for their domestic and European campaigns.
