Fabio Silva, who had a tough loan experience at Rangers last season, scored the winning goal for Las Palmas in their match against Barcelona. This goal marked a significant moment for him in La Liga.
Malik Tillman, a midfielder who recently moved to PSV Eindhoven after a loan at Rangers, is now attracting attention from big clubs like Aston Villa, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur.
Jorge Sampaoli, the new head coach at Rennes, has decided that former Celtic player Jota will not be part of his plans, despite Jota’s impressive performances under the previous coach.
A recent change in FIFA rules could allow Scotland to be placed in a group of five teams instead of four. This means they might face England and Wales in the upcoming World Cup qualifying rounds.
