Barry Ferguson believes Rangers should not think twice about signing Dundee midfielder Lyall Cameron on a free transfer. The former Gers captain would take the youngster at Ibrox in a “heartbeat” despite interest from the Light Blues. Ferguson has urged the Glasgow club to seize the opportunity and sign the 22-year-old on a pre-contract agreement. On the Go Radio Football Show (17 January), the 46-year-old stated, “I would take him in a heartbeat.” I believe he is good enough. Whether he begins week in and week out is up to the young man to demonstrate his worth and establish he…

Philippe Clement isn’t sure what “numbers” Ianis Hagi has in mind if he signs a new contract with Rangers, with the Romanian free to leave the club in the summer. Hagi is out of contract in the summer after being linked with a winter exit from Rangers, and Clement has confirmed that he will be free to leave in the summer. The Romanian has regained some form in recent weeks, but talks over a new contract have stalled, with Clement admitting there “will be discussions” about his future. Speaking to the press, as quoted by Rangers Review [18 January], the…
Nottingham Forest host Southampton to the City Ground on Sunday, hoping to take advantage of their opponents’ poor Premier League form. The Forest squad is now seven games unbeaten following Tuesday’s stalemate with Liverpool, in which Arne Slot praised Matz Sels for his heroics between the sticks. In comparison, Southampton have lost four consecutive Premier League games and have not won a league game since early November. The two sides’ current situations could not be more different, with Clinton Morrison forecasting a top-four finish for Forest and the football world unanimously anticipating Southampton’s relegation. Given their need for a radical…
The Nottingham Forest striker search has taken many twists and turns in January, and the latest speculation looks to continue that pattern. Forest were expected to revive their interest in Santiago Gimenez as Nuno Espirito Santo increased his quest for more credible competition for Chris Wood during the January transfer window. However, given the long list of forwards connected with a move to the club, Gimenez appeared to have slipped the Forest manager’s mind. Forest were interested in Yoane Wissa, a particularly ambitious possibility from Evangelos Marinakis, and FC Dallas’ Petar Musa, a striker akin to Wood. Forest’s ambitions for…
Leeds United appear to be the only top-four club yet to complete a winter acquisition, with Chris Wilder implying that Ben Brereton Diaz will join Sheffield United. Leeds may return to the top of the Championship with a win over Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday, but concerns remain about their genuine intentions. With Diaz’s impending arrival at Bramall Lane, the Whites will be the only team in the top four that has yet to enhance their roster, and with nearly three weeks left in the season, this is becoming a problem. While Elland Road has undeniable quality, their promotion rivals have…
Wayne Rooney could be talking about Leeds United again shortly if everything goes as planned. The England legend’s spell as manager of Plymouth Argyle was short-lived; he was removed of his duties in December after 25 games in charge. However, it may only be a matter of time before we see Rooney discussing Leeds, among other things, given he is in negotiations for a new role that is not in management. Wayne Rooney could discuss Leeds United on BBC MOTD. According to The Sun, Rooney is in talks to join the BBC Match of the Day, therefore he may step…
Besiktas are to finalise the deal one way or the other with regards to Rangers defender Ridvan Yilmaz by this week, according to Ajansspor. The news outlet reported on 18 January that a close friend of the Turkey international called him up to try and convince him to return to the club. It’s understood that a loan offer was presented to Gers to allow the 23-year-old to leave in the January transfer window. Rangers have no reason to let Ridvan Yilmaz go out on loan Gers have little motivation to let Yilmaz go on loan to Besiktas during the January transfer window. The…
Given the success of Nottingham Forest’s signings this season, it’s easy to overlook some of the more dismal purchases from previous years. Evangelos Marinakis’ signings for Forest this season couldn’t have gone any better, with major purchases in the summer being instant successes. Elliot Anderson joined from Newcastle United in July and has helped Nuno Espirito Santo’s side score five goals from midfield, impressing enough to ensure that the injured Danilo and Ibrahim Sangare were not genuinely missed in the Forest lineup. However, Nikola Milenkovic has perhaps outperformed Anderson. Milenkovic joined Forest from Fiorentina and has been immaculate at the…
Rangers are prepared to accept an instant transfer for Cyriel Dessers, according to La Gazzetta Dello Sport. The Italian tabloid reported in its print edition (page 23, 18 January) that the Gers are willing to let the Nigerian forward depart Ibrox permanently during the winter transfer window. However, it is reported that Cagliari would prefer a loan deal with the option to buy the 30-year-old in the summer. Dessers has played 20 games in the Scottish Premiership this season, scoring seven times, but has fallen out of favour in recent weeks. Rangers are likely to offload wantaway Dessers. Dessers has…
Leeds United have been connected to Forest defender Andrew Omobamidele. Nottingham Forest coach Andy Reid has hinted that Andrew Omobamidele will leave the City Ground in January, with talks of a move to Leeds United or promotion rivals Sheffield United. Both the Whites and the Blades have been connected with the 22-year-old centre back this month following his inability to secure a regular spot in the high-flying Forest club this season. Omobamidele is familiar with United manager Daniel Farke, having previously played for Norwich City. Farke gave Omobamidele his first Premier League start in 2021, and the Republic of Ireland…
