Scottish Football Roundup: Maloney's Future, Raskin's Interest, and McTominay's Return
Shaun Maloney, the former Hibernian manager, is still on the fence about his future in football management. He’s also dismissed rumors that he’s acting as an assistant at Celtic under Martin O'Neill. Celtic is keeping a close eye on goalkeeper Balazs Toth. The 29-year-old Hungarian, who turned down a new deal with Blackburn Rovers, could be a key target for the Scottish giants. In other news, Celta Vigo's Ilaix Moriba has received the green light to play against Celtic in the Europa League, even after experiencing a burglary at home that left him with a significant loss of valuables. As the January transfer window looms, Real Betis is reportedly interested in Rangers midfielder Nico Raskin. However, the Ibrox side is determined to hold onto the 25-year-old Belgian. Former Scotland international Don Hutchison has expressed regret for not moving to Rangers back in 2001 when he left Sunderland. He wonders if Bologna's Lewis Ferguson might face a similar dilemma in the future. Moving to Hearts, striker James Wilson isn’t worried about his contract situation, even as he enters the final year of his current deal. Dundee's head coach Steven Pressley has opened up about nearly stepping down from his role multiple times last season, highlighting the pressures of management. Dunfermline Athletic’s Neil Lennon has raised concerns about the level of mental health support available for managers, arguing that some criticism can be excessively harsh. Meanwhile, Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay feels he’s on the path back to peak form after a procedure aimed at correcting heart rhythm issues. He recently showcased his skills by scoring twice in Napoli's thrilling 4-3 Champions League victory over Bodo/Glimt.
