Managers finalize squads as Celtic and Rangers conclude summer transfer business

Celtic manager Martin O'Neill and Rangers manager Derek McInnes completed their final transfer activities ahead of the deadline this week. Celtic added 10 players over the summer, with six arriving in the final 48 hours, including PSV Eindhoven midfielder Joel van den Berg and Feyenoord defender Jordan Lotomba. Rangers added two recruits on deadline day to reach a total of 14 summer signings, featuring the acquisition of striker Kevin Kelsy from the Portland Timbers for approximately £9.5m. O'Neill expressed satisfaction with his roster despite noting that several new signings missed out on the Europa League squad due to registration limits. McInnes stated he felt a sense of relief at the conclusion of the window and expects his new squad to begin competition immediately. Both teams prepare for Scottish Premiership fixtures this Saturday, with Celtic playing St Mirren and Rangers hosting Motherwell.
