Rangers expected to sign new versatile defender in late deadline day deal

After yet another draw in the Scottish Premiership, Rangers are now expected to sign a defensive reinforcement in a last-gasp deadline day deal for Russell Martin.

Rangers set for busy deadline day

Without a win in their first four Scottish Premiership games under Russell Martin after their latest draw against Old Firm rivals Celtic, Rangers are in desperate need of last-minute additions.

Imagine him & Miovski: Rangers make last-gasp offer for "devastating" star

Rangers have reportedly made a last-gasp offer to sign a star who could shine alongside Bojan Miovski.

ByDan Emery Sep 1, 2025

The Gers have had a nightmare few weeks under the former Southampton boss, from crashing out of the Champions League to then losing star man Hamza Igamane, but could yet enjoy a turning point if they get deadline day right.

The manager himself, meanwhile, once again chose to remain optimistic after his side’s 0-0 draw against rivals Celtic in what was a poor game between two sides that haven’t been at their true best as of yet this season.

Martin is adamant that the 49ers still have faith in his project and that could once again be showcased in the transfer market. With the hours ticking away on deadline day, the American owners are still reportedly eyeing some last-minute deals.

The likes of Youssef Chermiti, for example, are still on Rangers’ radar whilst another deal for a much-needed defensive reinforcement is expected to reach completion.

Rangers expected to sign Cornelius

According to Sky Sports, Rangers are now expected to sign Derek Cornelius from Marseille in a last-minute loan deal. The central defender, who can also play as a left-back, should offer Martin some welcome cover in both areas and potentially the addition that finally helps his side back to winning ways.

As highlighted by the Rangers Journal, Cornelius is particularly one to watch in possession and that should suit Martin’s style of play far more than his current options.

The Marseille man particularly stands out for his progressive passing ability, which is something Rangers have arguably lacked. As much as he is a defensive addition, having a defender who is capable of ending an opposition’s press with one line-breaking pass can quickly turn defence into attack in rapid fashion.

Derek Cornelius

Meanwhile, at 27 years old, Cornelius is not an inexperienced option like Rangers have already signed this summer. He should be able to hit the ground running from the off at Ibrox.

Newcastle outbid Liverpool to sign 6ft 4 star before another transfer blow

After a summer of chaos at St James’ Park, it has now emerged that Newcastle United actually outbid Liverpool to sign a towering defender before he made his transfer decision.

Newcastle's nightmare summer

With Champions League football secured and PIF ready to spend, it looked as though Newcastle were about to enjoy their best summer yet under the Saudi owners. Eddie Howe also revealed his desire to get any business done early. By the time that pre-season got underway, he wanted to have his squad ready to go.

That proved to be far from the case, however. Whilst it wasn’t for the want of trying, the Magpies managed to welcome just Anthony Elanga by the time their pre-season tour arrived and were also handed the news that Alexander Isak wanted out for the first time. The Swede’s supposed injury quickly turned into a transfer saga and one that he eventually emerged victorious.

Newcastle, meanwhile, were left to turn towards the likes of Hugo Ekitike and Benjamin Sesko only to be faced with more bad news. Handed rejection after rejection, their plan to have any deals done by pre-season quickly turned into a deadline day panic as Isak left for Liverpool and Yoane Wissa finally arrived to join Nick Woltemade in the Magpies’ fresh frontline.

It just about summed things up that Wissa’s move very nearly collapsed in the dying embers thanks to an admin error, but Newcastle just about managed to avoid a humiliating scenario.

It’s also now emerged that it wasn’t just Ekitike that Newcastle and Liverpool were fighting over during a frantic summer rivalry away from the pitch.

Newcastle outbid Liverpool for Leoni

As revealed by Parma CEO Federico Cherubini, relayed by Sport Witness, Newcastle actually outbid Liverpool for Giovanni Leoni before he chose to move to Anfield.

The Magpies’ offer was more “advantageous” than Liverpool’s, but the Italian only wanted the Merseyside club in a verdict that Newcastle fell victim to all summer long.

In the end, Malick Thiaw solved Newcastle’s need for a defender, but there’s no doubt that Leoni would have been an impressive signing. The towering 6’4 defender was described as “complete” by scout Jacek Kulig and is now seen by many as the future of Liverpool’s backline following his summer move.

ديلي ميل: ريال مدريد يراقب موهبة آرسنال في التوقف الدولي

يضع نادي ريال مدريد الإسباني، عينه على أحد مواهب فريق آرسنال الإنجليزي، خلال مشاركته مع منتخب إنجلترا خلال فترة التوقف الدولي.

وخاض المنتخب الإنجليزي مباراة أمام ويلز يوم الخميس الماضي في تصفيات أوروبا المؤهلة لكأس العالم 2026، وسيلاقي لاتفيا يوم الثلاثاء المقبل.

وبحسب ما ذكرت صحيفة “ديلي ميل” البريطانية، يراقب ريال مدريد أداء اللاعب المتألق ماكس دومان، الذي يتدرب حاليًا مع فريق تحت 19 عامًا، على الرغم من كونه بعمر 15 عامًا.

وظهر ماكس دومان لأول مرة في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز في أغسطس الماضي مع فريقه آرسنال بقيادة ميكيل أرتيتا، ليصبح ثاني أصغر لاعب في المسابقة خلف زميله إيثان نوانيري.

يذكر التقرير أن لاعب الوسط دومان أثار إعجاب كشافي ريال مدريد، حيث راقبوا أدائه مع منتخب إنجلترا في سبتمبر الماضي.

ويحرص ريال مدريد على متابعة اللاعب مرة أخرى وأرسل كشافيه خلال أكتوبر الجاري، حيث يتدرب فريق تحت 19 عامًا حاليًا في ماربيا.

وفاز منتخب إنجلترا (تحت 19 عامًا) على بلجيكا، بنتيجة 4-1 يوم السبت، وشارك دومان كبديل في الشوط الثاني، ومن المقرر أن يواجه ويلز يوم الثلاثاء.

Manjrekar: Gill is 'the complete player at the moment' in ODIs

“The difference between Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill is that Gill will take you right till the end,” Sanjay Manjrekar says

ESPNcricinfo staff21-Feb-20254:30

Manjrekar: There’s an air of dominance around Gill

Shubman Gill is a ” [one for the long haul]” and batting at just 60% is enough for him to score a century like he did in India’s Champions Trophy opener against Bangladesh. This is the assessment of Sanjay Manjrekar, who also feels that Gill gives the impression of being someone who will be around for a further 10-15 years while Shreyas Iyer doesn’t.”He [Gill] is batting at the right position to make a huge impact. When he gets a hundred, like today, it seems like there is plenty left in the tank,” Manjrekar said on ESPNcricinfo Match Day. “It was like 60% of Shubman Gill is enough to get a hundred like this and he stays till the end. That is the difference between Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill that Gill will take you right till the end. He is somebody who you think is going to be around for 10-15 years. Shreyas Iyer, despite his obvious talent, doesn’t give you that impression.”Gill finished unbeaten on 101 against Bangladesh and guided India in their chase of 229 in Dubai. He faced 129 balls and hit nine fours and two sixes in his knock and ensured India got home with six wickets and 21 balls to spare. One of his two sixes – a front-foot pull off Tanzim Hasan in the ninth over – went into the second tier of the stands at deep-midwicket.Related

“Some of the shots he played, the good-length ball he hit and it went into second tier… the big game is at his beck and call,” Manjrekar said. “Can he be better in 50-over cricket as a batter? I don’t think so, what can be better than this?”In the company of Rohit Sharma, Gill started off quickly and raced to 26 off just 23 balls with four fours and a six by the time the first powerplay ended. But he slowed down when Bangladesh employed spin on a slowish track and kept an in-and-out field. He scored his slowest ODI fifty, off 69 balls, and then got to his hundred in 125 balls, the slowest for an India batter in ODIs since the 2019 World Cup. His ability to change gears impressed Manjrekar.”He’s got the class to do it [change gears],” he said. India are blessed with [a top three] who are also Test batters, so they can play different gears. Yashasvi Jaiswal, when he comes in eventually, is also a Test batter. So if the ball is swinging around in overseas conditions, they have the ability to see the new ball through and then handle the various situations. Shubman Gill is that kind of a player, he is not one-dimensional, he has all the gears and we saw him do that today as well. He is a guy at the top of his 50-over-cricket prowess and he does it very calmly. There is an air of dominance and surety with the way he bats and finishes games.”Shubman Gill dug deep for his slowest ODI hundred•AFP / Getty Images

Former India legspinner Anil Kumble was impressed by the restraint Gill showed against spin. Bangladesh had offspinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz and legspinner Rishad Hossain, and Gill scored only 34 off the 56 balls he faces against them, hitting just the one four. But he took 28 singles that helped him tick along.”The other thing that was noticeable today was generally when he sees the offspinner he steps out and launches it over long-on, midwicket,” Kumble said. “He didn’t want to take the risk perhaps because of the pitch. He felt that that was the riskier option. Although Miraz is someone he would take on – we have seen it even in Test match cricket. He was constantly looking to just ease through and ensure he was there till the end. That was very noticeable even when the [required] run rate dropped a little bit.”Manjrekar agreed: “And also the ability to nick off singles, keep that scoreboard ticking. It is not that he plays the sweep shot a lot or the dab. He goes very traditional and loves to keep the bat straight. Even when he is playing the pull shot, the bat comes down very straight. A lot of his singles would be back-foot punches to long-on instead of playing just with soft hands. A guy who can get singles at will, can hit a six at will, has got a reasonably good defence for 50-over cricket, he’s the complete player at the moment.”2:30

Bumrah or Gill – who should be India’s next ODI captain?

There would have been slight jitters in the Indian camp when they slipped from 112 for 1 to 144 for 4 in under eight overs but Gill kept his calm and saw the chase through, which earned plaudits from Kumble.”He’s been brilliant, especially in this format. The elegance and the ease with which he got that hundred on a difficult pitch,” he said. “I don’t think it was a true pitch where the ball was coming on nicely. It was on the slower side and you had to make adjustments, yet he was middling the ball and timing it so well.”The best part about Shubman Gill was he ensured he saw the game through. It was not like he wanted to get going, get runs [and get out], we have seen that before. That is the maturity he has brought into the game. Hope this is the start of a fantastic season for him and India, because when you play the first match in a tournament and you get a hundred not out and you are there till the end, it augurs well.”

Fabrizio Romano shares Yves Bissouma transfer twist out of Tottenham

Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma appears to be out of Thomas Frank’s long-term plans, or so we thought.

The 29-year-old really hasn’t made a great impression since Frank’s arrival at the club this summer, with Spurs’ new boss publicly damning Bissouma for his lateness to training and repeated disciplinary issues.

The former Brighton star is yet to make a single competitive appearance for Frank since he took charge, thanks partly to injury, but it spoke volumes about Bissouma’s situation when he was left out of Tottenham’s 22-man Champions League squad.

Now, if Bissouma remains in N17, he won’t be able to make a single European appearance until after the league phase, if Spurs even make it that far.

According to journalist Pete O’Rourke, Frank has been unimpressed with Bissouma behind-the-scenes, and the consensus is that Tottenham are prepared to sell the £100,000-per-week ace before his contract expires in 2026.

Other reports suggest that Tottenham could even let Bissouma leave on loan, potentially to get his wages off the books for a brief period before he eventually departs for free next year — if Spurs cannot find an outright buyer.

In any case, with the Turkish, Portuguese, Mexican and Saudi transfer windows still open, the Lilywhites still have an opportunity to offload Bissouma outside the UK window deadline.

Fenerbahçe were credited with a serious summer interest in the African, but a move failed to materialise. Galatasaray also held talks to sign Bissouma on loan with an obligation to buy, according to The Mail, and Spurs are believed to value him at around £20 million.

He played a key role in Tottenham’s route to victory in the Europa League final against Man United in May, even starting the full 90 minutes against Ruben Amorim’s side, but Frank’s stance on Bissouma is crystal clear in comparison to Ange Postecoglou.

Fabrizio Romano shares Yves Bissouma twist out of Tottenham

Now, Fabrizio Romano has shared an intriguing twist on his future, after the consistent reports of him being set for a move away.

According to the reliable journalist, speaking to GiveMeSport’s newsletter, Spurs actually aren’t looking to get rid of Bissouma right now after all, with the situation described as “quiet”.

The introduction of Frank has seriously altered Bissouma’s role in the squad, coming after the ex-Seagulls star shined at times under Postecoglou.

The now-Nottingham Forest boss and Bissouma enjoyed a close relationship, and the player even described him as a father figure. Elsewhere, Pape Sarr praised Bissouma for his influential role behind-the-scenes in 2024.

CINCO LANCES QUE MARCARAM A PARTIDA

> !QUE ISSO, HEIN ML! Em uma jogada que começou com um ótimo lançamento do estreante Jean Lucas, Marcos Leonardo recebeu, carregou, cortou o bom zagueiro Adryelson, deixando o defensor botafoguense no chão, e finalizou na saída do goleiro Lucas Perri. Brincou pouco o centroavante do Peixão! No segundo tempo, o jogador marcou novamente, aproveitando um cruzamento rasteiro de Lucas Lima.

> TEM COISAS QUE SÓ ACONTECEM COM O BOTAFOGO… e nessa temporada a afirmação clássica está longe de ter conotação negativa. O ano de 2023 tem sido das coisas boas que só acontecem com o Glorioso. Que sofreu o segundo gol aos 35 minutos do segundo tempo, descontou com Tiquinho Soares aos 39, e empatou com Adryelson, aos 41.

> JOÃO PAULO PREOCUPA. Aos 15 minutos do segundo tempo, Jean Paulo desabou no gramado após fazer uma defesa simples e imediatamente levou a mão a região do quadril e pedindo substituição. O goleiro deixou o gramado de maca e chorando bastante. No lugar dele, entrou Vladimir, que sofreu os dois gols santistas.

> !LUCAS LIMA JOGA BOLA! Olha o desarme que ele fez (sim, ele fez). Melhor atuação do camisa 23 em seu retorno ao Santos. Jogando aberto, pelo lado direito, o meia acompanhou lateral, deu carrinho na defesa, ganhou dividida e deu a assistência para o segundo gol santista. LL teve a sua tarde de pitbull, mas não foi o suficiente.

> BOA ESTREIA DE JEAN LUCAS. Foi o organizador do meio-campo santista no primeiro tempo. E foi dele a assistência para o primeiro gol do Peixe. Na etapa final, caiu fisicamente e foi substituído por Luan Dias.

COMO FOI O PRIMEIRO TEMPO?

A partida começou com o Botafogo tendo mais a bola e buscando jogo. Essa estratégia era prevista pelo Santos, que fechou os espaços da equipe carioca e apostou no jogo rápido, principalmente pelo lado esquerdo, com Mendoza. E foi assim que o Peixe, que sofreu pouco na parte defensiva, conseguiu criar as melhores chances do primeiro tempo. Uma delas terminou em um belo gol. Estreante, Jean Lucas fez um lançamento preciso para Marcos Leonardo, que deixou o zagueiro Adryelson no chão e finalizou na saída do goleiro Lucas Perri. Depois do gol, o Peixe chegou mais algumas vezes, sempre na base da transição rápida, mas não conseguiu ampliar. O Glorioso, por sua vez, teve muitas dificuldades contra o esquema defensivo santista que estava muito bem postado.

E A ETAPA FINAL?

No segundo tempo, a partida se mostrava ter a mesma tônica, mas com o Botafogo querendo mais o jogo. João Paulo fez uma boa defesa à queima roupa, em um chute de Victor Sá. Mas, conforme o tempo ia passando, o Santos se organizou. E assim chegou ao segundo gol, novamente com Marcos Leonardo. O Peixe saiu em transição rápida com Mendoza, Lucas Lima ganhou de Marçal na pressão e cruzou rasteiro para o centroavante marcar. E quando parecia que o Alvinegro Praiano tinha encaminhado a vitória, o Botafogo acordou. Quatro minutos após o segundo gol santista, Tiquinho Soares descontou após uma trama com Victor Sá e Joelinton. Na sequência, Adryelson subiu mais alto que a defesa santista, após escanteio cobrado por Marçal e empatou o jogo.E com 11 minutos de acréscimos, a pressão final foi toda do Botafogo, que teve, pelo menos, três grandes oportunidades para virar a partida. Em uma delas, Rodrigo Fernández salvou em cima da linha um cabeceio que já tinha encoberto o goleiro Vladimir, substituto de João Paulo, que deixou o campo com dores no início da etapa final.

Saliva ban revoked for IPL 2025, decision taken after captains' meet in Mumbai

Several IPL captains agreed that the saliva ban was hurting bowlers especially in not facilitating reverse swing

Southee on usage of saliva: ‘Think there needs to be something in the bowlers’ favour’

Bowlers will be allowed to apply saliva on the ball in IPL 2025. The decision was taken by IPL after majority of the franchise captains voiced for the change at a meeting with the decision-makers of the tournament at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai on Thursday.ESPNcricinfo has learned that several captains agreed that the saliva ban, which was adopted by ICC and followed by the member boards across all levels of cricket, was hurting the bowlers especially in not facilitating reverse swing, which has become rare in white-ball cricket, including ODIs where two new balls are used.Gujarat Titans (GT) fast bowler Mohammed Siraj concurred with the captains.”It’s very good for bowlers. It’s excellent news for us bowlers because when the ball is not doing anything, applying saliva on the ball will increase the chances of finding some reverse swing,” Siraj told . “It sometimes aids reverse swing because scrubbing the ball against the shirt will not help (to get reverse swing). But using saliva on the ball will help in maintaining (the shine on one side), and it is important.”The ban on using saliva to polish the ball was first put in place in May 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic, as a temporary measure. In September 2022, the ICC made the ban permanent. With bowlers allowed to use sweat to shine the ball, there had been calls from leading voices in the game to allow the use of an artificial substance in place of saliva back then. Jasprit Bumrah had said at the time that there should be “some alternative for the bowlers to maintain the ball”.Related

Recently, India fast bowler Mohammed Shami urged the ICC to rescind the ban on using saliva to shine the ball. “We are trying [to get reverse swing], but the usage of saliva on the ball is not allowed,” Shami had told reporters after India’s win over Australia in the Champions Trophy semi-final. “We keep appealing that we should be allowed to use saliva so that we can bring reverse swing back into the game and it becomes interesting.”He had also got the backing of two former international bowlers in Vernon Philander and Tim Southee.”That was a rule brought around Covid with the virus going around the world, but I think as a bowler, you want to have a slight advantage,” Southee said on ESPNcricinfo’s Match Day. “We see the game going the way it’s going and seeing sides score 362 and more often than not over 300 in this format. I think there needs to be something in the bowlers’ favour, and whether that’s a little bit of saliva, then yeah, I don’t see why they couldn’t afford to get that back in.”

الاختبار المحلي الأول لـ توروب.. الأهلي يسعى لمواصلة انتصاراته أمام الاتحاد السكندري في الدوري

يخوض فريق الكرة بـ الأهلي مباراة هامة أمام منافسه الاتحاد السكندري، في المواجهة التي تجمع بينهما ضمن لقاءات الدوري المصري.

وتقام المباراة بين الأهلي والاتحاد السكندري، على أرضية القاهرة في إطار مواجهات الجولة الـ11 من الدوري.

وتعد مباراة الاتحاد السكندري هي الظهور الأول لـ ييس توروب المدير الفني لـ الأهلي محليًا بعد قيادته للفريق خلال مباراة إيجل نوار بطل بوروندي الأخيرة بدوري أبطال إفريقيا.

ومن جهته يطمح الاتحاد السكندري إلى قلب الطاولة أمام الأهلي، واستغلال المباراة كفرصة لتحقيق نتيجة إيجابية تعيد له الزخم، رغم معاناته في ترتيب المسابقة حتى الآن.

ويأمل جمهور الأهلي في الفوز وحصد النقاط الثلاثة من أجل تعزيز موقف الفريق في مواصلة مشواره نحو التتويج بلقب الدوري المصري عن الموسم الجاري.

ويتواجد الأهلي في المركز الرابع بجدول ترتيب الدوري المصري، ويمتلك 18 نقطة في رصيده بعدما فاز بـ5 مباريات وتعادل 3 مرات وتلقى هزيمة وحيدة.

بينما يحتل الاتحاد السكندري المركز السابع عشر في ترتيب الدوري المصري، برصيد 8 نقاط من الفوز بمباراتين والتعادل بمثلهما وتلقى 5 هزائم.

الاتحاد السكندري يقرر التقدّم بشكوى ضد حكم مباراة الأهلي

كشف محمد أحمد سلامة رئيس مجلس إدارة الاتحاد السكندري، موقف النادي من تقديم شكوى ضد التحكيم بسبب أخطاء مباراة الأمس أمام الأهلي ضمن منافسات الدوري المصري.

وكان الاتحاد السكندري قد تعرض للهزيمة أمام الأهلي بنتيجة 2-1، في المباراة التي جمعت بينهما بالجولة الـ11 من الدوري.

وقال محمد أحمد سلامة في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر قناة “إم بي سي مصر”: “سنقدم شكوى ضد التحكيم، وأنا كنت حاضرًا في المقصورة وشاهدت ما حدث، الأمر ببساطة أن كابتن الفريق كريم الديب وهو لاعب مهذب ومحترم كان يتحدث مع الحكم في كرة عادية جدًا تخص خطأ ضد أحد زملائه”.

وتابع: “فوجئنا برد فعل مبالغ فيه من الحكم، لا أعلم إن كان الأمر بسبب لعب الأهلي بعشرة لاعبين فأراد أن يجعل الفريقين متساويان، لا أعلم الحقيقة”.

وبسؤاله هل تعتقد أن هناك نظرية مجاملة للفرق الكبرى كالأهلي والزمالك؟، أجاب: “لا إطلاقًا نحن لا نبحث عن شماعات، ولا نستخدم مثل هذه المبررات، نحن نتحدث فقط عن واقعة محددة حدثت في المباراة، كان من الطبيعي أن يتحدث كابتن الفريق مع الحكم في كرة عادية”.

وواصل: “لكن رد الفعل كان عنيفًا جدًا من الكابتن مصطفى شهدي، لا أعرف هل كان متوترًا بسبب النتيجة أو ضغط الجمهور”.

وزاد: “ركلة الجزاء أيضًا كانت مثار جدل كبير، الكرة اصطدمت بيد اللاعب لكنها لم تخرج عن محيط جسمه، وجاءت فجأة بعد أن غيّرت اتجاهها من رأس شبانة”.

وأتم: “وشاهدنا اللقطة تُعاد عشرات المرات واختلف عليها المحللون، لذلك الموقف كان صعبًا للغاية، خاصة ونحن ننافس في ظروف حرجة أمام فريق كبير مثل الأهلي”.
