Overview
- Interim manager Martin O'Neill, alongside assistant Mark Fotheringham, watched Motherwell at Fir Park as Tawanda Maswanhise scored the winner against Ross County in the Scottish Cup.
- O'Neill has stated he wants at least two strikers signed before the January window closes on February 2.
- Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou said there are no plans to sell Maswanhise now and noted the club is under no financial pressure following the summer sale of Lennon Miller.
- Celtic are assessing overseas options, with earlier reports of interest in NK Celje forward Franko Kovacevic and no official approach made at that stage.
- New reports indicate Kovacevic is set for Ferencvaros after agreeing terms, and O'Neill has ruled out a move for Callum Wilson due to wage demands.
