Martin Atkinson may face new demands after Rangers were left enraged against Motherwell on Saturday, Keith Hackett says. The Bears crashed to a 2-1 defeat against the Steelmen at Ibrox, with two flashpoints leaving Barry Ferguson and the crowd fuming. After missing an apparent backpass in the first half, Nick Walsh then disallowed an apparent Cyriel Dessers equaliser for offside, with VAR letting him down, it seems. Scottish FA to break silence on Rangers controversy Hackett believes that Atkinson should speak out on why this goal was wrongly disallowed, with Dessers onside and Danilo not touching the ball or becoming active in the final…

Rangers are delaying the selection of a permanent manager until the proposed 49ers Enterprises takeover is finalised, but they must begin work as soon as possible. Rangers were forced to fire Philippe Clement after a humiliating 2-0 loss to St Mirren at Ibrox, just days after it was revealed that a consortium fronted by Paraag Marathe of 49ers Enterprises and Leeds United is in advanced talks about acquiring the club. The Light Blues swiftly appointed Barry Ferguson as their new head coach until the end of the season, and the former captain guided them to a 4-2 win over Kilmarnock…
Leeds United intend to hire a new goalkeeper during the summer transfer window to compete with and potentially replace Illan Meslier. There is growing concern at Elland Road that the 24-year-old is not at the level required to stay their number one if they win promotion to the Premier League. Daniel Farke’s side is dominating the Championship and appears to be on track for automatic promotion back to the first division, but they believe they will need to enhance their roster in order to contend. Mick Brown, former Manchester United head scout, informed Football Insider that Leeds are already looking…
Rangers have had a difficult week, but this is nothing new for them. The rollercoaster contest at Kilmarnock on Wednesday night was only part of it for Rangers fans, with the ultimate 4-2 triumph giving Barry Ferguson a pleasing finish in his first game in command. However, Ferguson’s selection to replace Philippe Clement, whose dismissal seemed inevitable, has startled some as the Gers seek a good finish to a poor season.

This season’s FA Cup has also caused injury concerns, with Taiwo Awoniyi suffering a facial injury against Exeter City in the fourth round, which sidelined him for a few games. Nottingham Forest has been fortunate in terms of injuries this season, but Monday’s FA Cup opponents, Ipswich Town, have suffered a severe setback. Callum Hudson-Odoi’s injury against Southampton resulted in a significant absence, with the winger missing the 5-0 defeat to Bournemouth and only appearing briefly in Forest’s defeat to Fulham. Even when there appeared to be major fitness problems, such as when Murillo was substituted against Brighton, Murillo was…
Newcastle United youth winger Trevan Sanusi is destined for an extended stint on the sidelines. The 17-year-old made his competitive debut for Newcastle in the 3-1 FA Cup third round win over Bromley in January, playing the full 20 minutes after coming on as a substitute in place of Will Osula. An injury for Anthony Gordon would have likely handed Sanusi a spot on the bench for the visit to his former club Birmingham City in the next round. But like Gordon, the winger was also carrying a problem, which saw 17-year-old Sean Neave called up instead. Sanusi hasn’t played…
Milos Kerkez and Liverpool are the subject of some transfer rumours. The Hungarian left-back is reportedly a goal for sporting director Richard Hughes and head coach Arne Slot. Hughes previously signed Kerkez while serving as technical director at Bournemouth, and is expected to sign the 21-year-old again. Kerkez leads a left-back shortlist that includes Rayan Ait-Nouri and Antonee Robinson as the Reds look to move on from their present options. Andy Robertson has been a constant for much of the last decade, but he hasn’t always been in the team under Slot, and the club will likely listen to offers…
Tony Mowbray is refusing to let his West Brom charges shy away from the challenge as they make a daunting trip to Elland Road to face Daniel Farke’s table-topping Leeds United side. Yet, that may be easier said than done. Mowbray watched Leeds United snatch victory from the jaws of defeat in successive Mondays against promotion rivals Sunderland and Sheffield United. Fifth-place West Bromwich Albion, then, will know that even if they approach the final 15 minutes with a one-goal lead in West Yorkshire, anything is still possible thanks to the fearsome attacking talent in Daniel Farke’s armoury. Pascal Struijk,…
Rangers attacker Ianis Hagi has been linked with a move this summer, with Jose Mourinho said to be interested in signing him. The Romanian was involved in a contractual disagreement with the club earlier this season, but that has been addressed, and he has been reintegrated into the first squad. However, his future at the club is still unknown, with links to several European clubs. Fenerbahce has no agreement to sign Ianis Hagi. On February 28, Romanian news site Sportpesurse stated that there were reports that Gheorghe Hagi had granted the Turkish club his approval for his son’s transfer. However,…
