Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl provided a reassuring update on Gabriel Otegbayo following the defender’s early exit during their 2-1 victory over Middlesbrough. Otegbayo was substituted due to cramp, but Rohl confirmed that it wasn’t a serious injury, praising the young talent for his growth throughout the season. “Gab is a big, big winner of the season,” Rohl said, noting Otegbayo’s significant development since pre-season. The manager also highlighted the tactical adjustments made to help the defender read the game more effectively, adding that both Otegbayo and Pierce Charles, fellow academy graduates, have the potential to play in the Championship next season.
Otegbayo, who has made 14 appearances for Sheffield Wednesday, is seen as a future star for the club, with hopes that he will continue to grow and eventually become a first-team regular. The Owls will be keen to give him more minutes in their remaining matches against Portsmouth and Watford, as they aim to finish the season strong.
Barry Ferguson’s chances of securing the Rangers job on a permanent basis took a hit after the team’s 2-0 aggregate loss to Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League quarter-finals. With European hopes dashed, Rangers are left with five largely meaningless Premiership matches, except for the upcoming Celtic clash. Despite the situation, Ferguson remains determined, seeing these remaining fixtures as a final opportunity to make his case for the role.
Derek Ferguson, his brother, believes there’s still a “50-50” chance for Barry to be appointed as manager. In an exclusive interview, Derek urged the Rangers board to seriously consider Barry’s no-nonsense approach and the positive impact he’s had on both the players and fans. Derek also highlighted Barry’s ability to bring in experienced staff, further solidifying his position as a serious contender for the job. With the season winding down, Barry’s goal now is to secure six wins from the final matches, a feat that could make it difficult for the board to look elsewhere.
Nectarios Triantis has emerged as one of the breakout stars of the season during his loan spell at Hibernian — and now, his agent has made it clear: he won’t be returning to Sunderland just to warm the bench. With eight goal contributions and 29 starts in a standout campaign, the 21-year-old midfielder has not only turned heads but also turned his career around. As interest grows and Sunderland weigh up their midfield options, Triantis is setting his sights on regular football — and a spot in Australia’s World Cup squad.
Leeds United’s two-year exile from the Premier League is widely seen as a consequence of Jesse Marsch’s troubled tenure. Appointed by Victor Orta after Marcelo Bielsa’s departure, Marsch struggled with tactics, recruitment, and consistency, leading the club into a downward spiral. While relegation was eventually inevitable, Leeds have now completed their resurgence. A dominant 6-0 win over Stoke and a key loss for Sheffield United sealed their return to the top flight. Former assistant Rene Maric, now at Bayern Munich, marked the moment with a respectful nod to the club and its fans—while subtly reflecting on the limitations he faced under Marsch’s leadership.
Rangers may be entering a promising new era with the long-awaited 49ers takeover, but the challenges ahead remain steep. Despite the excitement, delays in finalizing the deal have left the club scrambling, with little time to prepare for a serious title push. As Celtic continue to surge ahead, the gap looks almost insurmountable in the short term. “It’s difficult to see anything other than continued dominance at this time for Celtic,” remarked Keith Jackson, summing up the growing concern that Rangers could fall even further behind before they find their footing.
Today could be the day Leeds United secures their promotion back to the Premier League, as they face Stoke City at Elland Road. With a win and a Sheffield United loss, the Whites will seal their return to the top flight. After their 1-0 victory over Oxford, manager Daniel Farke may look to freshen up his lineup, particularly after a short recovery period. One key change should be the inclusion of Dan James, who has been a standout performer this season.
James, named a finalist for Championship Player of the Season, has been crucial in the final third with 12 goals, 16 ‘big chances’ created, and 9 assists in 30 starts. To give Leeds the best chance of success in such a critical match, Farke must bring James back into the starting lineup. This means dropping Brenden Aaronson, who has struggled with form, having contributed just two goals and no assists in his last 19 appearances. With James in the starting XI, Leeds’ attack would feature a dynamic trio of James, Gnonto, and Manor Solomon, giving them the edge they need to secure promotion.
As Middlesbrough chase a late surge into the Championship play-offs, all eyes will be on the off-pitch drama at Hillsborough this Easter Monday. While Boro find themselves reinvigorated by a dramatic last-gasp winner against Plymouth, Sheffield Wednesday’s season spirals into chaos. Manager Danny Rohl’s blunt assessment—that his players aren’t good enough for his style of football—has only deepened tensions between himself, chairman Dejphon Chansiri, and a divided fanbase. With Wednesday winless at home since New Year’s Day and sitting on the league’s worst post-January record, the narrative in Sheffield has shifted from football to survival—not on the pitch, but as a stable club.
