If there is one positive to take away from Rangers’ spectacular Scottish Cup defeat at the hands of Queen’s Park, it is that the decision to bring in Lyall Cameron from Dundee now makes a lot more sense. While many have questioned the midfielder’s arrival – where would Lyall Cameron slot in, with Nico Raskin, Mohamed Diomande, and Connor Barron? – those familiar with the Scotland Under-21 international understand that this is a signing that should add another notch to Rangers’ bow. None of Philippe Clement’s current midfielders are known for making timely runs into the penalty area. Cameron’s style…

It may not have appeared conceivable, but Ibrox icon Barry Ferguson has found a way to paint Rangers’ Scottish Cup defeat at the hands of Queen’s Park in an even harsher light. Ferguson points out that this was more than just a second-tier team showing up to Glasgow Rangers and putting on a ‘cupset’ to rival any in the tournament’s history. It was a Queen’s Park team that had lost seven of its last 10 Championship games. A Queen’s Park team whose morale had plummeted following losses to Ayr United, Raith Rovers, Greenock Morton, Falkirk, Hamilton Academical, Partick Thistle, and,…

Alexander Isak, the Newcastle United forward, has been linked with moves to both Liverpool and Arsenal in recent weeks.

Such form, though, has resulted in the Sweden international being…

The midfielder found game-time hard to come by at Forest but now he’s hoping to convince Graham Potter in a way he couldn’t Nuno James Ward-Prowse says his failed loan at Nottingham Forest has ‘really lit a fire in me to go out and prove people wrong’. The 30-year-old joined the Reds in the summer, on what was supposed to be a season-long loan. However, he is now back with parent club West Ham having had that arrangement terminated after just five Premier League starts.
