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…

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.

While the former Manchester United ace can do much better, he has shown glimpses of his talent on the big occasions. Butland…

Now, as the campaign nears its end and Portsmouth is set to kick off early on Sunday on the South Coast, the manager’s newest injury news isn’t as dismal. Farke declined to place a number on Ethan Ampadu’s predicament this time. However, while Ampadu’s chances of returning were 50/50 seven days ago, it appears that the captain’s chances of returning to the pitch before the end of the 2024/25 season have improved slightly. Perhaps not…

The early weeks have been challenging for Tel, who has only scored once, as the unavailability of Dominic Solanke and Richarlison has forced the teenager into a central…
