Rangers’ possible takeover continues to dominate discussions following Saturday’s defeat to Motherwell. It’s been all upheaval at Ibrox recently, with Philippe Clement ultimately ousted following a defeat to St Mirren on February 22. Barry Ferguson has recently been named as interim manager until the conclusion of the season, but his future remains questionable, since Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises are preparing to execute a takeover. Graeme Souness offers 49ers instructions. Rangers have had a horrible season, languishing 16 points behind Celtic in the Scottish Premiership. Rangers’ 2-1 loss to Motherwell on Saturday (1 March) has raised many doubts about where…

In a season where Jon Scheyer has witnessed so many wonderful things from Cooper Flagg, the Duke basketball coach saw something different, and ominous, from the freshman Saturday night. “I’ve never seen him look scared,” Scheyer said after Flagg left Duke’s 100-65 win over Florida State in the first half with an eye injury that blurred his vision. “I thought he was scared at first. You don’t know how serious. Is it permanent?” As it turned out, the hit to the face Flagg absorbed from FSU 7-footer Alier Maluk only temporarily knocked him from the game. After playing only seven…
Daniel Farke has struggled with the number 10 role since joining Leeds United. Currently, Brenden Aaronson has the role but has struggled to offer consistency and numbers. However, Leeds’ lack of competition in attacking midfield has resulted in Brenden Aaronson starting the last 33 league games in a row. On Saturday, the American battled again as Leeds were unable to defeat West Brom. Leeds United targeted Emi Buendía during the most recent transfer window. But the Argentina ace has joined Bayer Leverkusen on loan until the summer, with a permanent option worth around £20 million. Others have also been linked.…
Anthony Gordon was sent off in Newcastle United’s FA Cup defeat to Brighton at St James’ Park. Wayne Rooney believes the usage of VAR contributed to Anthony Gordon’s dismissal in Newcastle United’s 2-1 FA Cup fifth round defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion. The Magpies’ star was issued a straight red card in the 83rd minute at St James’ Park after colliding with Jan Paul van Hecke. Referee Anthony Taylor had already blown for offside when Gordon tussled with the Brighton centre-back and pushed him in the head with both hands. Gordon replied by laughing at van Hecke, who was…
Pundit and Arsenal star Paul Merson has discussed Liverpool’s apparently inexorable march to the Premier League title. He may be an Arsenal icon, but Paul Merson understands that Liverpool is the ‘exceptional’ club in the Premier League this season. At one stage, it appeared that his former club was going to run the Reds close in the title chase. But now it appears that Liverpool will be crowned English Premier League winners for the 20th time in the club’s illustrious history. The Reds are currently 13 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal, who have a game in hand, following a potentially…
The takeover is getting closer, and an update has emerged on their attitude on key decision-makers. It will be a new era at the Rangers once the San Francisco 49ers’ takeover is finalized, but it may be a gradual transformation at the boardroom level, since their opinion on CEO Patrick Stewart and chairman Fraser Thornton has surfaced. It’s been an unbelievable season of upheaval at Ibrox, with Stewart and Thornton taking over as managers late last year after John Bennett left. The new leadership team hesitated before firing Philippe Clement, but finally did so in February, replacing him with an…
Newcastle United have been knocked out of the FA Cup after a dramatic 2-1 defeat to Brighton after extra-time. Eddie Howe chose a strong lineup for the cup match with Alexander Isak and Joelinton returning from injuries and the game started at a high tempo. Both teams looked dangerous, but Newcastle United seized the lead when Isak converted a penalty after Yankuba Minteh fouled Tino Livramento in the box. Minteh’s return to St. James’ Park was memorable, as he made amends for his blunder by scoring the equaliser. The Magpies looked slow after the break, with too many players being…
Liverpool’s midfield has played a significant role in the Reds’ current position atop the Premier League table with 10 games remaining. It appears that Arne Slot is on track to win Liverpool’s 20th league title in May. When the season is over, the midfield trio most identified with this Liverpool team will most likely be Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis MacAllister, and Dominik Szoboszlai. Those three players were all signed during the 2023 summer transfer window, while fans had hoped to recruit Jude Bellingham, who joined Real Madrid. In addition to the three regular starters, Curtis Jones has made a significant influence…
Rangers CEO Patrick Stewart has been chastised for his lack of effect since relocating to Ibrox in December 2024. At the end of last year, the Gers’ manager left Manchester United after 18 years to join Govan. During his tenure at Old Trafford, the C-Suite executive held four distinct positions, the most recent being CEO and board director. After only a year in that position, he took the plunge and joined the Light Blues, but it’s fair to say things haven’t gone smoothly since Philippe Clement was fired last month. Hugh Keevins blasts Stewart for hiring Barry Ferguson at Rangers.…
Rangers have received criticism from Michael Stewart and Steven Thompson following their 2-1 defeat to Motherwell in Scottish Premiership action on Saturday. On March 1, the Gers managed only one goal from Cyriel Dessers, which was insufficient to overturn a 2-0 deficit after 30 minutes of play. This leaves the Light Blues 16 points behind Celtic at the top of the league, with interim manager Barry Ferguson no doubt wondering where to go from here. Tavernier performed poorly in the Rangers’ loss. While it was not thought that Rangers would entirely reinvent themselves following Philippe Clement’s dismissal as manager, there…
