NafisaThe rivalry between Rangers and Celtic runs deep, with few players daring to switch sides over the years.
Kenny Miller, Mo Johnston, and Steven Pressley are among the rare exceptions, though no direct transfers between the two clubs have ever occurred.
Recent speculation suggests Rangers might pursue Celtic’s Greg Taylor when his contract ends this summer, a move that would be described as “headline-catching.”
This potential transfer will be worth watching as the summer window nears, but direct dealings between the clubs remain highly unlikely.
Daizen Maeda shines for Celtic:
With the Taylor-to-Rangers rumors swirling, Ibrox News asked former player and pundit Derek Ferguson which Celtic star he’d like to see at Ibrox.
Ferguson, after some hesitation, pinpointed one clear choice.
“They’ve got a strong squad, of course they have,” he said. “Maeda stands out and he’s been brilliant, plus he’s able to play different positions.
“So if I was pushed I’d lead towards him. He’s also got the energy and the attitude that rubs off on other players, so he’d be the one player you’d look at say ‘I’d take him’.
No transfer dealings expected between Rangers and Celtic:
Even with Taylor’s potential move, Celtic can do little if he chooses to leave as a free agent, free to negotiate with any club.
However, direct transfer negotiations between Rangers and Celtic are virtually unthinkable.

An unspoken rule seems to dictate that playing for one club makes you untouchable to the other, though a few bold players have defied this tradition.
Rangers will likely seek new talent this summer, but their search will extend far beyond Glasgow.
