Several former Newcastle United players have found success at other clubs this season. Yankuba Minteh, a former Newcastle United player, scored at St James’ Park in the FA Cup’s 2-1 loss to Brighton last week, helping the Magpies exit the competition. Minteh was one of two Newcastle players forced to sell for PSR purposes, the other being Elliot Anderson, who was sold to Nottingham Forest by Eddie Howe. Anderson has been in excellent form for Forest this season, and while Newcastle made a £35 million profit on him, it is a decision that the club may come to regret. Newcastle…

Rangers have had a difficult season domestically, falling farther behind Old Firm rivals Celtic.

The 49ers Enterprises-backed acquisition appears to be moving forward, with various reports stating an agreement has now been reached in principle. The US group, which includes Leeds United chairman and health insurance…

Liverpool’s 3-1 Premier League victory over Southampton included two penalties. But Mike Dean believes the opening goal should have been called out for offside. Former Premier League referee Mike Dean claims Southampton’s opening goal against Liverpool should not have stood — but not because of a foul by Matheus Fernandes. Alisson Becker and Virgil van Dijk were embroiled in a mix-up in which the goalkeeper claimed to have been fouled. However, Dean believes an offside offense was overlooked. “I’m just worried about the goal,” he told Sky Sports. “They presumably verified it with VAR, but I’ve looked at it three…
Newcastle United has demonstrated a willingness to wait for their targets. Newcastle United’s team has been formed in such a logical manner under PIF’s ownership that they have rarely made mistakes in the transfer market. Newcastle United has one of the most valuable squads in world football for a reason. They have some good players, many of whom have progressed at St James’ Park. After all, Eddie Howe conceded that signing Alexander Isak for £63 million was a gamble, but it has proven to be a masterstroke. When the club decides on a player, it appears that they are willing…
Rangers are yet to decide on their next permanent manager after Philippe Clement was relieved of his duties last month. Barry Ferguson is the man at the helm on an interim basis and, at the moment, it’s unclear who’s going to take up the role permanently. The Ibrox legend has already had a bit of a choppy start to life as boss with a 2-1 defeat to Motherwell followed by a sensational 3-1 victory over Fenerbahce in the Europa League. Several managers such as Steven Gerrard have been linked with the hot-seat, but an early issue has already emerged over…

The takeover has quickly gained pace as Sky Sports shared earlier this week that there is an agreement in principle for the deal to go through at Ibrox, pending due diligence and completion of paperwork. Marathe and Cavenagh set for shrews business at Ibrox However, there…
Jack Butland has had mixed performances at Rangers this season, and Kris Boyd has given his verdict on the English goalkeeper after a defining moment against Fenerbahce. The Gers’ shot-stopper was culpable as the Gers lost 2-1 to Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership at Ibrox on 1 March. Butland stepped up in the Europa League, though, pulling off some impressive saves as the Light Blues beat Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce 3-1 at the Ulker Stadium on Thursday (6 March). While the former Manchester United ace can do much better, he has shown glimpses of his talent on the big occasions. Butland…
