Ally McCoist found himself embroiled in controversy after comments he made during Rangers’ Europa League clash with Manchester United, with Ofcom now responding. Rangers gave a good account of themselves despite tasting defeat against Manchester United last month, but it was an incident off the pitch that caught much of the attention. During the clash, Rangers supporters were heard singing sectarian chants from the away end, leading to criticism from an SNP MSP, at which point McCoist praised the noise they were making. Many were drawn immediately to the incident and expressed their concern at the chants that were seemingly…

One Newcastle United berth is up for grabs more than others. Manchester City’s opening goal in the Premier League defeat over Newcastle United has received the most attention in the aftermath of the game at the Etihad Stadium. United right back Kieran Trippier missed the flight of Ederson’s lofted pass up the pitch, missing the header and allowing Omar Marmoush to score the first of three goals in the champions’ 4-0 victory. Overall, it was a difficult afternoon for the 34-year-old – and his defensive rivals – who had been recalled to the team following a great performance in the…
Following Leeds United’s 2-1 win over Sunderland on Monday, Jeff Stelling and Troy Deeney discussed what the club would need in the Premier League next season. In their Championship battle against Regis Le Bris’ men on February 17, the Whites scored in the 95th minute, putting them seven points ahead of third place. Daniel Farke’s side has solidified their position at the top ahead of the critical Sheffield United match, and the dramatic victory over the Mackems could not have come at a better moment. In response to the stunning win, Deeney and Stelling have offered their thoughts on what…
Rangers may be unable to afford Vaclav Cerny on a permanent move due to what has happened at Ibrox recently. The 27-year-old signed for the Gers on loan from Wolfsburg last summer and the Bundesliga outfit are looking for £6.75million to sell him. Cerny has been a revelation at Ibrox this season, scoring 14 goals and giving seven assists in 38 games in all competitions. The Czech international got on the scoresheet once again as the Light Blues overcame Hearts in the Scottish Premiership at Tynecastle Stadium on Sunday (16 February). Vaclav Cerny’s permanent Rangers transfer is unlikely. Mark Guidi…
Leeds United’s victory over Sunderland might be viewed as a season-defining moment for Daniel Farke’s side. Pascal Struijk’s 95th-minute header sealed Leeds’ 2-1 victory over Sunderland. Leeds will be in awe of Struijk, who came off the bench to not only score the winner but also the first goal in the Whites’ courageous second half display. Wilson Isidor’s opening undoubtedly sent a shock throughout the Stadium, but Leeds have now extended their undefeated run to 15 games and have recovered top spot in the Championship. Struijk’s influence was impressive, but former Leeds manager Neil Redfearn identified a Whites player who…
Tottenham Hotspur’s rocky 2024-25 Premier League season has taken a more optimistic turn, with back-to-back victories helping to calm the ship following a poor run of results. Spurs’ most recent win, a narrow but hard-fought 1-0 victory over Manchester United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, has propelled them to 12th position in the league table, providing a ray of optimism for a brighter finish to the season. Tottenham’s third win over United this season in all competitions came thanks to James Maddison’s clinical strike 13 minutes in. However, while Spurs’ league position has stabilized for the time being, a recent…
Nottingham Forest failed to sign defender Federico Gatti during the summer window, according to an Italian report. According to Tuttosport via calciomercato, the Reds would have paid “significant figures” for a player they considered as a “ideal reinforcement” for their defensive options. The 26-year-old is a regular in Juventus’ back four, having started 29 of 34 Serie A and Champions League games in which he has been available, including serving as captain at times. He has also played twice for Italy, but appears to be entirely committed to sticking in Turin, with reports suggesting that he is interested in signing…
Mohamed Salah must be a source of motivation for winger Jack Grealish. Salah is the Premier League’s gold standard for wide forwards, and Grealish would most certainly study his style to achieve comparable heights as a player. The two players are considerably different, with the Liverpool great being far more productive than the Manchester City technician, who profiles as a wide playmaker. Jack Grealish has yet to reach half of Salah’s total league goal contributions in three and a half seasons with City, demonstrating the level he needs reach to be considered equal to the Egyptian. As a result, it…
Newcastle United are pushing ahead with their summer transfer plans, with a right winger being a top priority. Newcastle’s right-wing was already a troublesome area, but in January, they traded one of their two recognised right-sided wingers, Miguel Almiron, leaving only Jacob Murphy as a natural fit for the position for the rest of the season. Fortunately, Murphy found his form at the perfect time, but whether it will be enough to get him through the rest of the season remains to be seen. Newcastle already has a large number of players on their shortlist, but we’re convinced that we…
Duke Star Wing Cooper Flagg stuffed the stat sheet in the team’s decisive victory over Stanford on February 15. He had 19 points, six rebounds, and five assists while shooting 7 for 13 from the field. Flagg’s counting stats as a freshman are comparable to any player in the country, but Duke head coach John Scheyer believes the youngster is unconcerned about personal statistics. Rather, he claims that Flagg is focused on piling up wins for Duke, and Scheyer describes that approach as “contagious.” “How can you care about statistics when your best player, and I believe everyone else, doesn’t?…
