According to sources cited by Football Insider, Motherwell will listen to offers for striker Tawanda Maswanhise this summer amid interest from both Celtic and Rangers. Sources have said there is an acceptance at Dens Park that the club will not be able to retain Maswanhise for much longer, as he enters the final year of his contract in the summer. The player's form in the 2025-26 season has also gained him admirers across Europe.

Jens Berthel Askou confirmed that Motherwell rejected a late deadline-day approach for Tawanda Maswanhise. Maswanhise had attracted interest from Celtic.

Reports of a connection between Celtic and Tawanda Maswanhise increased after Martin O’Neill and Mark Fotheringham were seen watching Motherwell face Dundee, which was widely interpreted as a scouting mission. Maswanhise’s representatives claimed there was no contact from Celtic, and the club eventually acquired its attacking reinforcements from other sources.

Sportsboom reports that Celtic are closely monitoring Tawanda Maswanhise of Motherwell as an alternative to Hogh.

Celtic have reportedly registered their interest in Tawanda Maswanhise, alongside Rangers. Motherwell are set to demand around £4m for his transfer from either club as they aim to keep him until the summer. Motherwell boss Jens Berthel-Askou has insisted that there are no plans for Maswanhise to leave Fir Park this month and that they are under no pressure to sell him to any interested sides.

Jens Berthel Askou says there is plenty of interest in Tawanda Maswanhise, but Motherwell have warned Celtic against pursuing the player. Askou stated that they intend to keep Maswanhise until at least the end of this season. The manager added that the summer sale of Lennon Miller means they are under no pressure to sell, he is in no hurry to sell Maswanhise, and he emphasized the player's importance to the club.

Speaking on the GO Radio Football Show, Peter Grant expressed doubts concerning Tawanda Maswanhise's fit for Celtic. Grant stated that in his view, the Motherwell team suits Maswanhise at this time. He added that at Celtic, teams defend deeper against them, and he does not see a lot of space. Grant also questioned Maswanhise's creativity potential and his dependency on pace.

Andy Halliday has said that it would cost Celtic £3million to sign his Motherwell teammate Tawanda Maswanhise this month. Halliday stated that Maswanhise is worth at least £3million, though not £6million, and noted the player's 15 goals in January. Halliday also added that given the number of goals he is scoring, it is not surprising Maswanhise is being linked with somebody. Tony Watt, who was Maswanhise's teammate last term, said the player is good enough to play for Celtic. Watt thinks Maswanhise would be a good fit for Celtic because they need attacking players, and added that Maswanhise is a contender for Player of the Year.

The Daily Record reports that Motherwell striker Tawanda Maswanhise could potentially transfer to Celtic. The Motherwell striker is one of several striker options who have been linked with Celtic. A suggested transfer fee of £6m has been a point of contention.

According to journalist Anthony Joseph, Celtic is interested in Motherwell winger Tawanda Maswanhise. There has been no public indication from Motherwell that they intend to sell Maswanhise this month. The interest from Celtic could potentially alter the situation, particularly if a deal could involve Stephen Welsh. A deal is not close and a formal bid has not been confirmed.

Martin O'Neill was rumoured to be watching Tawanda Maswanhise in action after he attended Motherwell's win over Ross County. Tawanda Maswanhise has scored 16 goals for club and country this season. Andy Newport stated that Maswanhise is good enough to fill a problem position out wide right for Celtic. Michael Gannon stated that Maswanhise is better than Celtic's current players and can play several roles. Scott Burns questioned whether the Celtic board would spend the money and if Celtic’s style would suit him best.

Jens Berthel Askou stated that the Hoops have not yet approached Motherwell for Tawanda Maswanhise, amid speculation about a potential move for the player. This speculation grew after interim Celtic boss Martin O'Neill was seen at Fir Park. According to The Scottish Sun, fans are convinced the Zimbabwean attacker is a primary target this month. Askou also said there was interest in their players during the last transfer window and that this interest has been growing. He added that he hopes it will continue to grow until the right moment is found to sell the player, but stated that this moment is not now. Askou insisted that they are under no pressure to sell the player.

It was deduced that Celtic manager Martin O'Neill was at Motherwell's 1-0 Scottish Cup win over Ross County to watch Tawanda Maswanhise. On Friday, O'Neill admitted that the Scottish Premiership contains players in rival teams who would improve the Celtic side.

Motherwell manager Askou also made it clear after the game that he does not believe now is the time for Maswanhise to leave.

According to the Daily Record, Jens Berthel Askou has insisted he will work to keep Tawanda Maswanhise amid growing interest in the striker. Interim Celtic manager Martin O’Neill was at the game with Mark Fotheringham. Askou stated that there has been growing interest in Motherwell players already in the summer window. He added that Motherwell are in no rush to sell and are under no financial pressure to do so. The manager said the sale of Lennon Miller in the summer means there is no need for Motherwell to accept bids at this stage of the season. He also stated that there has been no plan for any player to move on now and that no one has expressed a strong desire to do so. Regarding a potential bid for the striker, Askou said that if one occurs, it will be discussed internally. He added that there is potential in Tawanda Maswanhise and that for now, the club and player will grow together.

Martin O'Neill was present at Motherwell's Scottish Cup victory against Ross County, and there is speculation he was observing Motherwell's Tawanda Maswanhise. Maswanhise's contract expires in the summer, although Motherwell has an option to extend it by 12 months. Celtic might offer the left winger a significant increase in wages. Motherwell is aware of Celtic's desperation to sign players, particularly strikers. Maswanhise is ineligible to play for Celtic in this season's Scottish Cup because he has already appeared for Motherwell in the competition.

A growing section of the Celtic fanbase wants the club to sign Motherwell's 23-year-old Zimbabwean forward Tawanda Maswanhise, who has scored 10 goals and provided 2 assists in 19 league appearances this season. In supporter circles and on social media, other names like Kieron Bowie and Josh Mulligan have also been mentioned as potential targets. Celtic have been loosely linked with several Scottish Premiership players this January, and interim manager Martin O’Neill has not ruled out recruiting from the SPFL. When asked directly if Celtic would consider a move for players in the domestic league, O’Neill told Celtic TV that there are definitely players in the Scottish market who could play on the team. Maswanhise, who joined Motherwell in August 2024, has a contract that expires in May 2026 and a current Transfermarkt market value of €700k. He has been capped 17 times for Zimbabwe, scoring two goals. Rangers have also recently been linked with a move for the player.
