Shock Twist: Gareth Southgate Emerges as the New Front-Runner for Rangers Job
Rangers have struggled with a six-game winless streak as they search for a new manager, with interim boss Barry Ferguson unable to secure a victory in their recent 1-1 draw against Celtic. With the team desperate for their first home win since February, the pressure is mounting ahead of their upcoming match against Aberdeen.
In a surprising turn, former England manager Gareth Southgate has been linked to the Rangers job. Scott Burns, writing for the *Daily Record*, suggested that Southgate could be an excellent fit, citing his success with England, including guiding them to the Euro 2021 final. Despite not winning a major trophy, Southgate’s ability to lead under pressure, including reaching the World Cup semi-finals in 2018, makes him a compelling option for Rangers, who are eager to regain their glory after a disappointing season.
Sheffield Wednesday’s Hidden Core: The 16 Players Staying Next Season – and the Clock Ticking on Their Contracts
Sheffield Wednesday face a summer of significant change with just 16 first-team players contracted for the upcoming season, and six of them aged 21 or younger. The club is set for another major rebuilding job, with at least 16 players seeing their contracts expire, including Ryo Hatsuse, whose deal ends in June. The Owls currently lack the depth to field a full matchday squad without relying on their youth system, highlighting the urgent need for fresh signings.
Among the players confirmed for next season, Pierce Charles has committed to a long-term deal, while Di’Shon Bernard will remain until 2027. Veteran defender Dominic Iorfa has one year left, aiming to hit 200 club appearances. Max Lowe, a key figure in the squad, signed a two-year contract, and Yan Valery, who impressed in his first season, is contracted for three more years.
As the squad takes shape for the 2025/26 campaign, Sheffield Wednesday’s management, whether under Danny Röhl or a new head coach, will face a busy period of squad building and potential contract extensions.
Leeds United Plot Shock Move for Danny Ings After Mysterious West Ham Twist
Leeds United are eyeing experienced striker Danny Ings as a potential addition following their return to the Premier League. With West Ham confirming Ings’ departure at the end of the season, the 32-year-old could be a bargain signing for a Leeds side eager to bolster their attacking options. While Joel Piroe has impressed, manager Daniel Farke knows that survival in the top flight will require greater depth and firepower. With proven Premier League pedigree—72 goals to his name—Ings could provide both experience and crucial support up front as the Whites prepare for a challenging campaign.
Fuming Frank Lampard Warns ‘It’s Not Over’ as Sunderland Outsmarts Coventry in Tactical Showdown
Coventry City face a daunting task in the second leg of their play-off semi-final after a narrow 2-1 defeat to Sunderland at the CBS Arena. Despite enjoying the lion’s share of possession, the Sky Blues were undone by a tactically disciplined Black Cats side who executed a low-block, counter-attacking game plan to perfection. A late defensive error sealed Coventry’s fate on the night, leaving manager Frank Lampard visibly frustrated but defiant in his post-match comments: “It’s not over.” The passionate home crowd created a stirring atmosphere, but familiar issues—missed chances and costly mistakes—once again threatened to derail City’s promotion hopes.
