da betsul： According to a report by the Daily Record, Southampton could be set to make a double summer raid on Celtic if they preserve their Premier League status, with midfielder Tom Rogic and striker Moussa Dembele both on their radar.
What’s the word, then?
da blaze casino： Well, the Daily Record says that the Australia international’s performances have caught the attentions of the south coast outfit, who had scout Ross Wilson in attendance at Celtic Park as he scored in their 5-0 win against Rangers on Sunday.
The 25-year-old’s contract with the Scottish Premiership champions is set to expire next summer, and with no new deal yet agreed he could potentially be on his way this summer if the Bhoys receive an acceptable offer.
Southampton, who the Daily Record adds are also keen on Dembele, have done plenty of business with Celtic over the last few years, with Victor Wanyama, Fraser Forster and Virgil van Dijk all moving south of the border to St Mary’s.
How have Rogic and Dembele done this season?
The former has certainly enjoyed an impressive campaign for Brendan Rodgers’ men, and the 6ft 2in attacking midfielder has scored eight goals and provided a further eight assists in 37 appearances in all competitions.
Meanwhile, Dembele has struggled to replicate the form he showed in his first season in Glasgow and has sometimes been in and out of the starting XI this season.
However, the former Fulham man has still scored 15 goals and provided a further eight assists in 36 outings in total, proving that the 21-year-old has plenty of quality and potential.

Would the duo be good signings for Southampton?
You would have to think so, yes.
The south coast outfit, who could reportedly also look to add winger Pione Sisto to their ranks, have certainly done well with Forster, Wanyama and Van Dijk previously, and both Rogic and Dembele look to have the ability to make the step up to the Premier League given their displays for Celtic.
Rogic would provide some much-needed competition – or be a replacement for Dusan Tadic in the attacking midfield position if the Serbia international goes this summer – while Dembele would likely be part of a huge overhaul of the frontline if he arrives at St Mary’s, with someone like Manolo Gabbiadini likely to go even if they stay up.
Of course, any potential move for the duo will depend on Saints retaining their Premier League spot – they are one point from safety with three fixtures remaining.
