Monday's Scottish Gossip: Liel Abada, Andy Robertson, Stevie May, Luke McCowan, Rangers

Israel winger Liel Abada has reached a full agreement to join Major League Soccer club Charlotte in a permanent deal after Celtic accepted an offer well in excess of £8m for the 22-year-old. (Football Insider)

Liel Abada is awaiting Celtic and Charlotte to finalise an £8m transfer, with another £3m in future add-ons, before the 22-year-old Israel winger travels for his medical and signs a four-year contract with the American top-flight club. (Daily Record)

Liverpool are set to open talks with Andy Robertson over a new contract this summer and are not concerned by reports linking the 29-year-old Scotland left-back with Bayern Munich. (Football Insider)

Stevie May says St Johnstone manager Craig Levein was willing to allow him to leave during January after "a couple of people made contact" and, while fellow striker Chris Kane chose to join Dunfermline Athletic on loan, the 31-year-old decided to stay and fight for his place. (The Courier)

Luke McCowan, who last summer signed a new contract to keep him with Dundee until 2025, is keen to extend his deal further as the 26-year-old midfielder enjoys a stellar campaign in dark blue. (The Courier)

David Bernstein, who was Manchester City chairman from 1998 to 2003, says Rangers made an approach while the English club were in the third tier about a deal that they eventually rejected because "it would have almost meant City becoming almost a feeder club". (TalkSport)
