Scotland international Stuart Armstrong’s time at Sheffield Wednesday has come to an abrupt end just 105 days after his surprise mid-season move from Vancouver Whitecaps. The 33-year-old midfielder, who had hoped to reignite his career in the Championship and push for a Premier League return, managed only six starts as the Owls slipped out of the promotion race, finishing 12th. Now released, Armstrong joins a list of players departing Hillsborough this summer, while fellow ex-Rangers forward Josh Windass has secured a contract extension after an impressive season, continuing his long-standing role as a key figure at the club.
Celtic’s Transfer Gamble Reaches Breaking Point – Will Leeds United Snatch Maeda in Shock Swoop?
Celtic have already welcomed back Jota and are set to bring Kieran Tierney home this summer, but caution surrounds the idea of re-signing Kyogo Furuhashi. After struggling to make an impact at Rennes, Kyogo’s potential return has been questioned by former Scotland striker Paul Dickov, who warns that Celtic can’t keep relying on familiar faces. Meanwhile, Leeds United are eyeing Daizen Maeda, impressed by his recent goal-scoring form in Scotland. Former player Lee Hendrie believes Maeda could be a smart, budget-friendly gamble for the Elland Road side as they search for a proven striker.
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.

Rangers Set Their Sights on ‘One of the Best Young English Managers’—Is This the Game-Changer They’ve Been Waiting For?
Steven Gerrard is reportedly the top candidate to become the next permanent manager of Rangers, following a turbulent season for the club. Despite a strong run in the Europa League, Rangers’ domestic campaign has been disappointing, with their arch-rivals Celtic clinching both the Premiership title and the League Cup. A shocking exit in the Scottish Cup, following a defeat to Queen’s Park, further soured the season.
With Philippe Clement sacked in February due to inconsistency, former midfielder Barry Ferguson has taken over on an interim basis. Rangers are now looking to appoint a permanent manager, and it seems they are eyeing a reunion with Gerrard, who previously led the club to its first Scottish Premiership title in a decade, remaining unbeaten throughout the season.
Since leaving Rangers in 2021 for Aston Villa, Gerrard’s managerial career has seen mixed results, including a brief and unsuccessful stint in Saudi Arabia. Nonetheless, his knowledge of the club and past success make him a strong contender for the role. Rangers fans still hold Gerrard in high regard, and with him currently out of work, his return to Ibrox could be a natural fit.
Rangers Takeover Drama: US Investor Set to Attend Old Firm as Paraag Marathe’s Future Hangs in the Balance!
Rangers’ takeover by the 49ers Enterprises group is approaching its final stages, with a deal to purchase a controlling stake in the club expected to be completed by the summer. Recent “productive talks” and a tour of Ibrox by Andrew Cavenagh and Paraag Marathe indicate that the transition is well underway. However, doubts have emerged regarding Marathe’s role as the Old Firm clash against Celtic approaches. Reports suggest that while Cavenagh will be a regular presence at Ibrox next season, Marathe’s involvement may be less frequent due to his prominent role at Leeds United, who have just secured Premier League promotion.
Despite these potential changes, Rangers supporters need not worry. With trusted figures like Cavenagh and Gretar Steinsson, who has shown solid management experience at clubs like Tottenham and Everton, overseeing the club’s operations, Marathe’s reduced presence is unlikely to disrupt the team’s future. While there are pressing concerns, such as the future of interim manager Ferguson and potential player departures in the summer transfer window, the 49ers are set to tackle these challenges head-on, ensuring that the club remains on course for success.
Guardiola’s Favorite, 39-Year-Old Manager, Shockingly Sets Sights on Rangers – Is a Move to Ibrox Imminent?
A former Premier League manager is reportedly eager to take over at Rangers and is awaiting a call from the club’s hierarchy about a potential move to Ibrox. This comes after a difficult weekend for the club, as Celtic clinched their fourth consecutive Scottish Premiership title, while Rangers were held to a 2-2 draw by St. Mirren. Interim manager Barry Ferguson expressed disappointment in his team’s performance, pointing out that their inability to maintain leads has been a major factor in their failure to challenge for the title.
As Rangers look for a permanent manager, former Southampton boss Russell Martin is said to be highly interested in the job. Despite his struggles at Southampton, Martin has earned praise from Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, who lauded the tactical approach he implemented with Southampton, calling it a “good game to learn as a manager.” This endorsement highlights Martin’s potential, making him a strong candidate for the job at Ibrox.
Ferguson Revolution: Rangers on the Brink of Securing ‘One of the Best Managers in the World’ – Is This the Game-Changer They’ve Been Waiting For?
Barry Ferguson’s time at Rangers seems to be coming to an end, with speculation already turning to who might replace him in the summer. After a disappointing exit from the Europa League, Rangers have little to play for in the final fixtures of the season, as they are comfortably secure in second place, 15 points behind Celtic. The club is now focusing on the future, with the potential for one of football’s most successful managers to take charge when the new campaign begins in late July.
Meanwhile, Rangers are in “productive conversations” with an American consortium led by Paraag Marathe, aiming to inject much-needed capital into the club. With losses of £17.2m last year, investment is essential for the club’s long-term stability. Alongside this, the club has appointed Kevin Thelwell as head of football operations, signaling that behind-the-scenes changes are already underway. As part of this shift, there are growing rumors that José Mourinho could be in line to become the next Rangers manager. With a track record that includes multiple Champions League titles and league victories across four countries, Mourinho’s appointment would mark a major statement of intent from the new owners, offering Rangers the chance to elevate themselves to the next level.
