Rangers’ competition among eight clubs, the pursuit of a Celtic player deemed ‘desirable,’ the emergence of a new club in the search for Doak, and an update regarding Shankland – transfer news.

An SPFL member is reportedly poised to secure the signing of a player from Liverpool.

Kilmarnock’s manager, Derek McInnes, is poised to announce his inaugural acquisition for the January transfer window, following reports indicating that Liverpool full-back Calvin Ramsay is nearing the finalisation of a loan transfer to Rugby Park.

According to the Daily Record, the Scotland under-21 international is anticipated to formalise a loan agreement with Kilmarnock until the conclusion of the season, as he seeks to secure consistent playing time during the latter half of the campaign.

The former Aberdeen defender had spent the initial half of the season on loan at Wigan Athletic; however, his loan arrangement concluded earlier this month due to his inability to secure a position in the Latics’ starting lineup.

Liverpool reportedly attracted interest from various clubs within EFL League One and Two, as well as teams in the Scottish Premiership. However, it seems that Kilmarnock has emerged victorious in the pursuit of his signature, as the defender is eager to revitalise his career following a challenging period in making an impact on Merseyside.

Head coach Neil Critchley has provided supporters with an update regarding transfers this month, expressing his regret at the prospect of one specific player departing during this period.

The manager of Tynecastle has demonstrated considerable activity in the transfer window thus far, having incorporated both Elton Kabangu and Jamie McCart into his roster.

However, it appears that several players are poised to leave in the forthcoming days. Among those is Australian international Kye Rowles, who is anticipated to finalise a £600,000 transfer to DC United in the forthcoming days, notwithstanding his appearance on the substitute during Hearts’ 0-0 stalemate with Aberdeen over the weekend.

“It is approaching,” conceded Critchley when enquired about Rowles’ imminent departure. “It has not yet been finalised.” An event may potentially occur within the next 48 hours. However, we have not yet reached that point, and Kye remains a member of our team.

He has been an exceptional performer for our team, and we will regret his departure. Jambos captain Lawrence Shankland was once again absent from the starting eleven due to a calf injury. Additionally, over the weekend, he was the subject of transfer speculation, with reports indicating that the club had received an offer from an undisclosed Turkish team.

subsequently provided fans with the latest update regarding the transfer status of his captain. “Nothing at all,” he replied. “I find that quite surprising.” Undoubtedly, January is characterised by speculation, particularly in the form of hearsay and transfer rumours. “Regrettably, we have not received any information regarding Lawrence Shankland.”
