Move over, Jonathan Woodgate; we have a new candidate for the worst debut of all time: former Rangers full-back Borna Barisic’s terrible first appearance in a Leganes shirt. An outing cut short after only ten minutes. This was not Borna Barisic’s nightmare. Unlike Woodgate’s memorable Real Madrid debut, which included an own goal and a red card, the Croatia international’s suffering was caused by pure misfortune rather than stupidity. Leganes announced that Barisic, Rangers’ January transfer from Trabzonspor, had damaged his anterior cruciate ligament after colliding with the ground clutching his knee. An injury that will keep him out for…

The Rangers Fan Advisory Board (RFAB) has confirmed they recently held a meeting with Patrick Stewart and other members of the Rangers leadership team. During the meeting, which took place before the club’s Scottish Cup defeat to Queen’s Park, the RFAB discussed a “wide range of club issues and concerns” with the new CEO and key figures at Ibrox. The minutes of the meeting are expected to be released soon. This statement comes at a time of growing pressure on the Rangers board to publicly outline their plans for the club following the unexpected exit from the Scottish Cup over…
Allowing Lloyd Kelly to join Juventus during the January transfer window was a risky move for Newcastle United. The 26-year-old’s departure has left Eddie Howe with fewer defensive options, as Kelly had been providing cover at both centre-back and left-back. That risk has already been highlighted, with Dan Burn and Sven Botman both uncertain for Saturday’s match against Manchester City. Despite this, the Magpies deemed it a gamble worth taking, and new information further supports why this decision was the right one. What has been said about Lloyd Kelly’s transfer to Juventus As the transfer window neared its end, Juventus…
Ibrahim Sangaré has faced a lengthy and difficult journey back into the Nottingham Forest squad. Signed for £30 million from PSV, the Ivorian midfielder has struggled to win over the Forest fanbase, who often expect more from him. Last season proved particularly frustrating for Sangaré. Manager Steve Cooper admitted that he played him out of position in an attempt to help him adjust to the Premier League, but this approach ended up being counterproductive. Sangaré’s best performance came when Nuno Espírito Santo arrived as manager, leading to a 3-1 victory at Newcastle. However, shortly after, he went to the African…
Social media does not often provide an accurate reading of the temperature of a full fanbase, but it’s right this time. The famous old saying claims ‘no news is good news’ but the radio silence out of Ibrox has sounded like screams of horror for downtrodden Rangers fans. Social media doesn’t always offer an accurate reading on the temperature of a whole fanbase, however, Light Blue diehards in unison have aired their annoyance that there has been no communication from Rangers after a horrid week. The chastening Queen’s Park defeat, among the biggest shocks in Scottish Cup history, has ramped up the pressure on Philippe…
There aren’t many college-level NBA Draft prospects that have garnered as much attention as Duke Blue Devils forward Cooper Flagg. While Victor Wembanyama was highly anticipated because of his guard-like skills despite being over seven feet tall, Flagg made a name for himself at Montverde Academy and has continued to do so. As of Wednesday night, Flagg averaged 19.5 points, 7.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and almost three combined blocks and steals per game. Flagg is widely considered the first overall pick in this summer’s 2025 NBA Draft, and he still has his sights set on leading the third-ranked Blue Devils…
Leeds United will play Sheffield United and Sunderland, two of their fiercest promotion opponents, in two crucial games soon. For Leeds United, everything are going well right now. They are two points ahead of Sheffield United in second place and five ahead of Burnley in third place after winning their past three games and going six games without giving up. However, the Championship promotion picture might change significantly in a few weeks. On Monday, Leeds United hosts Sunderland at Elland Road. The following Monday, they travel to Bramall Lane to play Sheffield United. Daniel Farke’s side thrashed Watford 4-0 in…
As the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park descended into chaos, Liverpool manager Arne Slot was one of FOUR players sent off by referee Michael Oliver. What he said to the official, Virgil van Dijk’s reaction, and the Dutchman’s immediate ban have all been made public. After Alexis Mac Allister and Mo Salah’s goals negated Beto’s early opener, the Reds appeared poised to take a nine-point lead at the top of the Premier League. But a James Tarkowski goal deep in stoppage time meant the points were shared and ensured Liverpool only went seven clear at the top – but…
Nottingham Forest will face a summer of uncertainty to a certain extent as a number of elite players will come under consideration for other teams. The Reds could qualify for European action in 2025/26, as Forest are currently third in the Premier League table and performing admirably. Chelsea is interested in signing Murillo this summer. The Blues had a bid rejected for the Brazilian defender in January, and it appears that they will return for him when the transfer window reopens at the conclusion of the season. Meanwhile, Liverpool has expressed interest in Morgan Gibbs-White and Elliot Anderson. The champions-elect…
James Tavernier is a bit of a mystery at Rangers. The captain is approaching 500 appearances, having scored over 100 goals for the club as a right-back, and will have spent ten years at Ibrox by July. Tavernier has been a tremendous servant to Rangers, without a doubt, but his name has been synonymous with the club’s dismal performance over the last decade. The 33-year-old has only won three major titles in his tenure at Ibrox, a disappointing return for a club with such rich heritage, which is now again under the shadow of its great rivals Celtic. Rangers’ heartbreaking…
