Rangers have an agreement to sign Colombian winger Oscar Cortes permanently for a £3.5million fee. Currently on loan from Lens, Gers have an obligation to buy the 21-year-old who joined back in January 2024. However, he has not featured for the first team as much as he would have liked as he has suffered multiple injury setbacks. Kris Boyd tells Rangers to back out of deal to sign Oscar Cortes While Gers have an agreement to pay the French club, there could be a scenario where they might back out of this obligation, likely tied to specific contractual clauses or…

Simon Jordan has hit out at UEFA following their disciplinary charge passed down to Rangers over a banner held aloft by the Union Bears. The ultras group hoisted a banner that read: ‘Keep woke foreign. Ideologies out and defend Europe,’ during the recent Europa League match against Fenerbahce at Ibrox. UEFA took a dim view of the messaging, branding it ‘racist and/or discriminatory’. This has resulted in an immediate €30,000 fine, as well as a partial stadium closure suspended over a two-year period. Rangers – who have issued two strongly-worded statements on the matter – insist they will issue lifetime…
Newcastle United’s Carabao Cup final victory was delayed by VAR. The Magpies faced an agonising wait in stoppage time, as officials determined whether or not Federico Chiesa was onside for Liverpool’s goal. After initially being flagged offside, VAR overturned the decision as Liverpool threatened to extend Newcastle United’s trophy drought. Fortunately, Eddie Howe’s side survived to win 2-1 as Newcastle United lifted the Carabao Cup. Stoppage time was unbearable, but the Magpies held on for victory. How VAR helped Newcastle United against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final It nearly was not to be, but former Premier League referee Mark…
Rangers are facing UEFA sanctions ahead of their Europa League quarter final clash with Athletic Bilbao – but the Ibrox club are not the only ones. Rangers lambasted supporters for a controversial ‘anti-woke’ banner which was unfurled during the second leg of the club’s Europa League tie with Fenerbahce. UEFA have branded the banner ‘racist and/or discriminatory’ with Rangers having already suffered two partial stand closures for UEFA matches for ‘sectarian singing’ dating back to 2019. The Gers have branded the situation an embarrassment with the club’s Ultras section under the microscope for everything from political messaging to the use…

According to a daring new rumor, Liverpool has been informed that Virgil van Dijk has confirmed his decision to leave this summer, with the player ready to take advantage of a ‘unique opportunity’ to transfer overseas and having ‘already initiated negotiations’ – yet TEAMtalk can disclose the reality behind the supposition. The Dutchman joined Liverpool in January 2018 and has played a key role in the club’s success since then. Van Dijk, a seven-time trophy winner, will look to lift the Premier League trophy for the first time as club captain this season, capping up Arne Slot’s outstanding first season…
The Liverpool icon is expected to join Rangers with a former Manchester United, Chelsea, and Tottenham manager. Rangers legend Graeme Souness has been backed to make a fiery comeback to Ibrox, accompanied by an iconic manager of EPL repute. The former player-manager keeps a close eye on his former team and was recently seen at Ibrox for interim manager Barry Ferguson’s first home game, a defeat to Motherwell earlier this month. Since then, the club has enjoyed success, defeating Fenerbahce in the Europa League and winning the Old Firm against Celtic. The former player-manager keeps a close eye on his…
Liverpool have got a huge boost in their efforts to find a replacement for possible Luis Diaz. The French club is in a severe financial crisis, with debts of nearly £500 million, which has resulted in their provisional relegation to Ligue 2 and a transfer ban. This will force the club to sell some of its best players in order to raise the necessary funds to avoid provisional relegation. Among those is Rayan Cherki, who is perhaps one of the best players at the club. Cherki has been repeatedly linked with a move to the Merseyside club and although the…
It will be exciting to watch what Newcastle United does this summer. Indeed, Newcastle United have removed a 70-year burden off their shoulders by winning a major domestic trophy following their Carabao Cup victory. Chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan has declared that Newcastle would compete for further trophies, issuing a statement of purpose shortly after the 2-1 triumph over Liverpool at Wembley. After a disappointing era in terms of transfers, things may be changing. Newcastle insiders believe they can spend this summer after keeping their powder dry by selling players recently. To that goal, a fresh right winger could be recruited. Brentford’s…
Rangers are looking to rebuild the Scottish core of the club by developing their own players and by bringing others in from elsewhere. Nils Koppen will target Scots in every transfer window to join the likes of Connor Barron who signed last summer and Lyall Cameron, who will arrive at the end of his Dundee contract. Improving the standard of player coming through the Rangers academy will be a priority, however, that will take time. The aim won’t just be to take players from age group football to the first-team, it will be to sell them too. Liam MacLeod never…
