Bologna target Verona's Kieron Bowie as Ferguson pushes move. Other Scottish football news: Scales stays at Celtic, Dessers on Rangers exit plus more.

Bologna are reportedly setting their sights on Hellas Verona striker Kieron Bowie as the Serie A side looks to bolster their attack. The 23-year-old Scottish forward faces relegation with Verona, and his compatriot Lewis Ferguson is actively encouraging the move. Ferguson, already at Bologna, sees Bowie as a key addition to help the club climb the table. The potential transfer highlights the growing Scottish influence in Serie A, with Ferguson and Bowie potentially reuniting at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara.

Meanwhile, Celtic defender Liam Scales has reaffirmed his commitment to the club, insisting he never wanted to leave despite interest from other sides. The 27-year-old Republic of Ireland international stated, 'I have never shown a desire to leave,' quelling speculation about his future. Scales has been a steady presence in Celtic's backline, and his loyalty provides stability as the Hoops aim to retain their Scottish Premiership title.

Rangers winger Findlay Curtis could be heading out on loan again next season. Currently with Kilmarnock, the 19-year-old may find his path to first-team action blocked by new signings at Ibrox. Rangers are expected to bring in attacking reinforcements, pushing Curtis down the pecking order. A loan move would allow him to continue his development, having impressed during his temporary stint at Rugby Park.

Former Rangers striker Cyriel Dessers has opened up about his departure to Panathinaikos, revealing that the club was prepared to let him leave long before the transfer. The 31-year-old Nigerian felt he had a good goal contribution but understood the decision. He praised his replacement, Youssef Chermiti, calling him a 'complete' striker. Dessers' comments shed light on Rangers' transfer strategy as they reshape their forward line.

Manchester United winger Amad Diallo's loan spell at Rangers left him 'damaged,' according to former Sunderland boss Tony Mowbray. Mowbray, who coached Diallo at Sunderland, believes he helped restore the 23-year-old's confidence. Diallo struggled for game time in Scotland but flourished on Wearside, underlining the importance of the right loan environment for young talent.

Aberdeen manager Stephen Robinson is assessing three loanees returning to Pittodrie: strikers Alfie Bavidge and Alfie Stewart, plus midfielder Ryan Duncan. All are out of contract this summer, but Robinson may offer them futures with the Dons. The trio spent time at Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Ross County, gaining valuable experience. Robinson's evaluation comes as Aberdeen look to rebuild after securing their top-flight status.

Robinson also stated he can now focus on recruiting players suited to the Scottish Premiership, bringing 'freshness' to his squad. With relegation avoided, the Dons can plan for a stronger campaign next season. The manager emphasized the need for quality additions to compete at the higher end of the table.

Oli McBurnie believes his 17-goal haul for Hull City should earn him a Scotland recall for the World Cup. The 29-year-old striker helped Hull reach the Championship play-offs, making a strong case for international duty. McBurnie said, 'I have done everything I possibly can,' highlighting his desire to represent his country on the biggest stage.

Rangers head coach Danny Rohl insists his focus remains on Ibrox despite reports linking him to Bundesliga side Wolfsburg. The 37-year-old German has been shortlisted to replace veteran manager Dieter Hecking, but Rohl dismissed the speculation. 'My full focus is on Rangers,' he said, aiming to lead the club to success.

Livingston caretaker boss Scott Arfield revealed he sought advice from former Rangers manager Michael Beale before his dugout debut. Arfield, a former Rangers player, leaned on Beale's experience as he took charge of the struggling side. The move underscores the camaraderie among Scottish football figures.

Finally, former Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin has declared himself ready to return to management, four months after his dismissal. However, the Swede agreed with Elfsborg that it is too soon for a return to the club he led for nearly seven years. Thelin's availability could spark interest from other clubs as the coaching market heats up.
