John Beaton received praise for his game management as Rangers defeated Hearts 3-1 at Tynecastle in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday. Philippe Clement relieved some of the strain on him at Rangers by gaining three points in the most scrappy manner possible in the capital. Jamie McCart scored two own goals each side of Vaclav Cerny’s goal, but home fans felt they should have had a penalty earlier in the game when it was goalless. Ianis Hagi booked appropriately in Rangers’ triumph against Hearts – Keith Hackett. In the 17th minute, a Blair Spittal pass across the box seemed to…

Newcastle United will undoubtedly require a successful summer transfer window. While Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has done an excellent job of getting his side back on track this season, this same collection of players can only perform for so long without more investment. Though there are reasons – primarily related to PSR – why PIF has not spent significantly at Newcastle, this cannot continue into another summer window. Fortunately, Newcastle sources believe they are in an excellent position to spend this summer, and, unsurprisingly, names have been connected with a move to St James’ Park. Victor Boniface, a Bayer…

Leeds United are making plans for the summer transfer window, with potential Premier League promotion on the horizon, and the quality of players is evident. Leeds might have made a few signings in January but did not. The inability to add new players is not the end of the world, as Daniel Farke’s group remains harmonious. However, if Leeds is successful in gaining promotion to the Premier League, this cannot continue in the summer. If Leeds are to progress this summer, they will require quality all over the pitch. Leeds should focus on improving Illan Meslier, finding cover at centre-back,…
Eddie Howe was clearly upset at the end of Saturday’s game against Newcastle United, as Manchester City comprehensively dominated. If there is one thing that irritates us about Eddie Howe, it is his constant attempt to turn negative situations into positive ones. After a horrible performance, he’ll always look for something good, and while we understand what he’s doing, we’d like him to come out and tell it like it is. We’re sure he’s not sugar-coating things in the locker room because that would be a massive issue, but sometimes, as supporters, we just want to hear the hard truth…

The Philadelphia 76ers are stuck with Joel Embiid, despite the former NBA MVP’s lack of fitness. The Philadelphia 76ers have struggled in the 2024-25 NBA season, after an apparently successful offseason in which they signed superstar Paul George. While George’s problems are one thing, the team’s main concern has been Joel Embiid’s continuous absence. Embiid has been in and out of the lineup because of a knee issue. As a result, he has only played 17 games this season, and the 76ers are unable to deal their 30-year-old superstar. Bobby Marks on whether the 76ers will make Joel Embiid available…
Philippe Clement made reference to Pep Guardiola’s new-found troubles at Manchester City when pressed about the pressure he puts himself under at Rangers during Friday’s press conference. After only one title and one Old Firm victory in a year and a half at Ibrox, the Rangers manager understands he lacks the credit Guardiola has at the reigning – albeit soon to be former – Premier League winners. Guardiola, with scrapes on his cranium, has lost 12 of his last 24 matches across all competitions. This is by far the lowest point of his career for a man who previously appeared…
