"Many Photos" - Celtic and Rangers in transfer battle for Hearts powerhouse Uche Ikpeazu

OLD FIRM pair Celtic and Rangers are tracking Hearts’ powerhouse Uche Ikpeazu.

Striker Ikpeazu, 24, was playing in League Two last season with Cambridge United, where he scored 22 goals in 80 outings.

Injury has not prevented Ikpeazu from sparking transfer speculation

But the 6ft 3in hitman has impressed with his physicality north of the border since joining on a free in the summer.

He hit the winner in Saturday’s 2-1 win over Hearts and has grabbed the attention of both Celtic and Rangers, while Hull are also keen.

Cardiff City are also interested but any move is dependent on which league they are playing in next season.

Should they drop back to the Championship, then a move is far more likely for the Harrow-born ace who started his career at Reading.

Neil Warnock’s side are five points from safety with seven games to play.

BATTLE OF CELTIC PARK

Ikpeazu extended his contract until 2022 last month so Hearts would be looking for around £1million for the burly forward.

The Londoner has only made 19 appearances this season due to a foot problem during the middle of the campaign.
