Celtic Linked with Plymouth Pair

Celtic are leading the pack of clubs following Plymouth Argyle's prolific Lorent Tolaj and his strike partner Bim Pepple.

Celtic forward Tomas Cvancara maintains the defending champions "are not out of the title" race and believes they can overturn their 4-1 deficit against Stuttgart in Thursday's Europa League return leg in Germany. Meanwhile, Polish club Lech Poznan are willing to pay a £4m fee to sign on-loan Celtic winger Luis Palma, with plans to potentially sell him on immediately for £2-3m more.

In other Scottish football news, Hibernian head coach David Gray described Sunday's 2-1 win at Celtic Park as the culmination of a challenge he had set his players, while Hearts are considering a move for Rangers centre-back Leon King, whose contract expires in the summer.
