Callum Osmand Celtic transfer edges closer after sighting
Herald Sport sources understand the Fulham forward has been spotted at Lennoxtown on Thursday, as he finalises his move. The former Wales U17 international is on the cusp of completing his move to the Scottish Premiership champions from the Premier League club. Due to his contract expiring, despite Fulham offering him an extension, Celtic will only have to pay Fulham a development fee, similar to what they did when signing Moussa Dembele from the same club back in 2016. In 22 appearances last season in all competitions for Fulham's U21 side, Osmand made 22 appearances, scoring 11 goals and assisting a further four in all competitions. He will join Kieran Tierney in arriving at Celtic Park from England, with his return from Arsenal officially completed last week. With the transfer of Benjamin Nygren from FC Nordsjaelland seemingly nearing completion, as well as talks with Royal Antwerp's Michel-Ange Balikwisha, the Scottish champions are busy in the early stages of this transfer window.

Jayden Richardson vows to entertain black-and-white army after St Mirren switch
The 24-year-old, who has previously been with Aberdeen, St Mirren new boy Jayden Richardson insists he is excited to hear the Buddies back him instead of boo him. The Englishman, a product of Nottingham Forest's youth academy, is boss Stephen Robinson's fourth signing of the window after he agreed a two-year deal yesterday. Richardson follows in the footsteps of Killian Phillips, Rolan Idowu and Richard King in putting pen to paper at the SMiSA Stadium. The 24-year-old is no stranger to the Scottish game as he was on loan at Aberdeen, where he made 24 appearances, in the 2022-23 campaign under former Saints boss Jim Goodwin. But he is now looking forward to turning out for the Buddies and is relishing being in the top-flight spotlight after spells at Sky Bet League One side Stockport County and Colchester United in Sky Bet League Two. 'When I was up here in the past playing against St Mirren,' he told the club's media team, 'we knew it was going to be a tough game no matter what. 'Even the fans coming here were outstanding so, hopefully, we can look forward to them being on my side this time! The first time round [in the Scottish Premiership ] it was amazing playing in front of the big crowds and stuff like that. 'It is something you need to get used to quick. I have been here, I know what it is like and hopefully I can do it again.' The right-sided full-back spent last season at National League South side Boreham Wood where he made 37 appearances, scored two goals and assisted four times. He was part of the team which dumped Maidstone United 1-0 in the play-off final last month to secure promotion back to the National League. Richardson says he will be able to bring 'energy, pace and power' to Saints and wants to thrill the black-and-white army. He added: 'Hopefully that athleticism up and down can get the fans on the edge of their seat. 'I've had a few chats with the manager and they've been positive. I know what he wants from me and I know what I need to provide for him so hopefully it's a good chemistry and we can work well.' Robbo has been keeping an eye on Richardson's devlopment for a number of seasons now after trying to secure his signature during previous transfer windows. After missing out on the chance to bring back Ryan Alebiosu after a successful spell loan spell from Belgian Pro League outfit KV Kortrijk, the Northern Irishman soon pivoted to Richardson and vowed the similarities between the pair will be clear. He said: 'Jayden is someone I tried to sign a few seasons ago. He has got a lot of attributes that I like in a wing-back/full-back. He's quick, he's strong, he's tall and very like Ryan who was with us last season. 'All the attributes are there and it's up to us to get that quality out of him. I think he'll be a really good signing for us.' Meanwhile, Saints will find out their schedule for 2025-26 when the Premiership fixture are released by the SPFL on Friday morning. The first-team squad returned to Ralston this morning for the start of pre-season training.
