Rangers and Celtic in hunt for in-demand World Cup star

Rangers and Celtic are amongst the clubs who are reportedly looking to sign Motherwell winger Elijah Just this summer.

Just enjoyed a strong first season at Motherwell after arriving from Danish side Horsens last summer.

The 26-year-old scored seven goals in 35 Scottish Premiership appearances as Motherwell secured a fourth-placed finish.

Rangers and Celtic are still very much in the race to secure his signature ahead of next season according to Football Insider.

However, Just's performances for New Zealand at the 2026 World Cup could have complicated matters.

The battle to sign the player appeared to be a straight fight between the Old Firm clubs, but his rise to prominence in North America has caught the eye of numerous clubs throughout Europe.

Just has a year remaining on his current deal but Motherwell might be afforded the luxury of being at the centre of a bidding war as the interest increases.

His departure from Fir Park now feels inevitable after being the stand out player for New Zealand at the tournament.

Just found the net twice as New Zealand drew 2-2 with Iran in their opening game.

He was also on the scoresheet during the heavy 5-1 loss to Belgium and he is set to have plenty of options this summer.
