Russell Martin may be hit for a second time…
Martin and Jayles are now back at Cherry to complete another signing. According to Sky Sports’s Mark McAdam, the Wanderers have reached a deal with Bournemouth to sign Roswell for permanent signing.
It’s unclear how much Gers are willing to spend on midfielders, but given that he’s already signed a final year at Bournemouth, that’s probably a relatively low fee. The 30-year-old was on loan at Leeds United last season, where he played 36 times in the championship game as the whites won the title that would be promoted back to the Premier League.
Prior to his tenure in Yorkshire, Rothwell was loaned in Southampton in the second half of the 2023/24 season, where he worked with Martin and helped the Saints advance to the Premier League. This time this time it was working together again in Scotland.
Ranger “Hope” signs 75k-P/w Conor Coady
According to STV Sports host Raman Bhardwaj, when Gers reached a deal for Rothwell, the Rangers still “hopefully” they could reach a deal to agree to sign Conor Coady from Leicester City.
Daily Records reportedly negotiated between the Wanderer and the Fox on Cody’s deal. The England international didn’t sign at King Power Stadium until 2026, but it’s unclear how much Leicester is asking for for sale as they don’t want him to leave for free.
In addition to reaching a deal with Leicester, Jales must also reach personal terms with the former Everton and Wolves defenders as he reportedly earned £75,000 a week at Kings Electric Stadium.

The Scottish Giants do have some choice cores, but given how far the Celtics were lagging behind last season, Martin clearly feels he needs more experience and leadership.
Last season, Coadi’s struggle at Leicester continued as he had only 22 matches in the Premier League and in the back end of the season, many appearances were led by Ruud Van Nistelrooy, who is now leaving. Now, moving to Scotland may make sense for Coadi, as he hopes to continue to play at a high level as he can.
