Aston Villa interested in Nicolas Raskin amid Rangers rejections
Summary

Aston Villa maintains interest in Rangers midfielder Nicolas Raskin, who is seen as a likely Premier League transfer target next year. Rangers had previously rejected a £12m offer from Hull City this summer, which has not deterred Villa. Meanwhile, Celtic aims to adopt a different tactical approach in their upcoming match against Motherwell after a recent Old Firm derby. Additional developments include Hearts planning to provide competitive opportunities for their young signings after the international break.
