Celtic defender Stephen Welsh is wanted by a Belgian top-flight team, according to a report.

Sky Sports claims KV Mechelen have made a loan offer for the young Scottish centre-back.

The report states that they'll face competition though, with numerous Championship clubs in England also showing interest in the 24-year-old.

It's said that the Scottish Premiership champions are assessing their options at centre-back, and so Welsh could well be allowed to leave.

Sky say that another centre-half could be signed to become a regular partner for Cameron Carter-Vickers at the heart of the defence, while Brendan Rodgers is looking to offload both Gustaf Lagerbielke and Yuki Kobayashi.

Meanwhile, Chris Sutton was right about Todd Cantwell - and the wantaway Rangers player only has himself to blame.

That's the view of ex-Gers striker Kris Boyd.

He's told the Scottish Premiership midfielder that he'll look back on his time at Ibrox one day and regret how things panned out.

He wrote in the Scottish Sun: "He'll forever be remembered as TikTok Todd. Someone whose social media profile came before his football.

"What a shame, the way it’s turned out at Rangers for a player with a huge amount of talent and ability.

"But there’s only one person Todd Cantwell can blame for the way it eventually ended up for him at Ibrox — himself.

"I’m sure he’ll point to the fact he didn’t get picked by Philippe Clement in certain games. He may even take aim at the refs who weren’t slow in booking him.

"But the reason Cantwell is desperate to get out of Rangers is because he doesn’t have the mentality to play at a club that size."
