Falkirk 0-1 Celtic: Bairns Rue Missed Chances as Celts Escape With Win

Celtic made it back to back wins under the returning Martin O’Neill with a narrow 1-0 win away to Falkirk, becoming only the third away side to return home from The Falkirk Stadium with all three points this season. The result means the Glasgow side leapfrog their neighbours Rangers into second place on goal difference, but remain six points behind Hearts who defeated St. Mirren in tonight’s other fixture. The only goal of the game came on the stroke of half-time, with Celtic’s top goalscorer Benjamin Nygren scoring what would be the winner a minute before the whistle as he nodded an Arne Engels corner home. The home side had it much their own way in the first half, with Barney Stewart sending an early warning signal to the Celtic backline when he got in behind and fired straight at former Falkirk loanee Kasper Schmeichel seven minutes in. John McGlynn’s men maintained the pressure and came even closer fifteen minutes later, when a curled Calvin Miller set-piece from the left wing seemed to stop dead inside the Celtic six-yard box, eventually being cleared by left-back Kieran Tierney. And the biggest chance of the half would come just two minutes after. Kyrell Wilson done extremely well to beat Tierney to a ball over the top and drove in from the right, rounding Schmeichel with a smart side step, before losing balance and firing his shot high and wide. It remained one way traffic at the Falkirk Stadium and just before the half hour mark the hosts came close again. A slack pass from Daizen Maeda to his defence was pounced upon by striker Barney Stewart, who once again seen his effort swallowed by Schmeichel as the Hoops survived yet another scare. Seemingly against the run of play and with a mere minute before the half time whistle was blown, an Arne Engels in-swinging corner met the head of Benjamin Nygren. The Swede found the bottom corner and netted his tenth goal in the league this season, to give his side a perhaps undeserving lead at the break. A real collector’s item at half-time as the referee team made the only change. John Beatton swapped with his fourth official Sean Murdoch due to injury as he officiated his first game, or half if you will, of Premiership action. Celtic had the ball in the net again nine minutes into the second period courtesy of Daizen Maeda, but the Japanese forward was clearly offside and the scoreline remained 1-0. The defending champion’s first real sight on goal after the disallowed effort came around ten minutes from time. Reo Hatate was played in the box with space, and his low cross was met by Johnny Kenny. The Irishman’s attempt was blocked and bounced back off of him for a goal kick. Falkirk immediately went up the other end and produced a chance arguably bigger than any of those created in the first half. Liam Scales failed to clear a bouncing ball which landed at sub Ethan Williams’, but his strike was met by the extended leg of Kasper Schmeichel to deny his former side. The Bairns remain in the top six, five points clear of seventh placed Dundee United but will come away from this feeling aggrieved they haven’t taken anything out of the match. They travel to the capital on Saturday evening, to face Hearts in Scottish Cup action. As for Celtic, it is another win for Martin O’Neill who has won nine of hasten matches in charge over two spells as interim manager. The display did not complement the result and the Northern Irishman will no doubt be eager for reinforcements. Celtic travel to Rugby Park on Sunday to face non-league Auchinleck Talbot in the cup. FALKIRK: Bain 6, McCann 5, Henderson 6, Spencer 5, Yeats 4 (Parkinson 63’ 2), Stewart 2 (Marsh 63’ 3), Allan 6, Tait 5 (Cartwright 74’ 1), Wilson 5 (Ross 78’ 1), Lissah 7, Miller 7 (Williams 78’ 1) CELTIC: Schmeichel 7, Scales 5, Trusty 5, Nygren 7, Yang 5 (McCowan 66’ 3), Araujo 5, Tounekti 4 (Hatate 66’ 2), Engels 5 (Kenny 79’ 1), Maeda 5, McGregor 6, Tierney 6

Celtic 4-0 Dundee United: Martin O’Neill’s Magic Returns Winning Feeling To Celtic

Celtic won their first game of Martin O’Neill’s second interim spell in charge this season, defeating Dundee United 4-0 at Celtic Park. Two goals in each half were enough for the Northern Irishman’s side, with Hyun-jun Yang and Arne Engels netting in the first period, before Benjamin Nygren and Daizen Maeda completed the rout in the final half hour. It was Celtic’s first match since sacking Wilfried Nancy after 33 days, and they Hoops were able to keep a clean sheet for the first time since what we thought was Martin’s O’Neill’s last game as manager, when the defending champions eked out a 1-0 win over the over side of Dundee at Parkhead. The result temporarily lifts Celtic back into second place, three points behind leaders Hearts and ahead of rivals Rangers on goal difference. Both sides are in action tomorrow, away to Dundee and Aberdeen respectively. The hosts dominated proceedings from the referee’s whistle at kick-off, with he majority of play prevented Dundee United from escaping their own half as their resolute defence eventually caved 27 minutes in. Liam Scales picked out Yang on the edge of the area, and the South Korean’s low rocket flew beyond Dave Richards in the United net to open proceedings. And five minutes later Celtic were two in front. Kieran Tierney delivered a ball from the left flank and Belgian midfielder Arne Engels got first to it, putting daylight between the sides after his left-foot effort sailed into the goal. The Terrors had a glorious opportunity to get themselves back into the game which went begging just a couple of minutes before the half-time break. Teenage forward Owen Stirton took advantage of a slack pass from Austin Trusty, but the American was bailed out by an excellent recovery from his centre-half partner Liam Scales who got in the way of the 18-year-old’s attempt. Celtic were able to equal the intensity on the first half in the second, something they were unable to do in many games throughout Nancy’s forgetful tenure. Benjamin Nygren found himself with space on the six-yard line as the ball broke out to him, and the Swede’s fired home to convert for the 9th time in the league so far this campaign. And the Celtic fans would have to wait an extra minute between goals this time. Daizen Maeda got in on the act six minutes after Nygren, with the Japanese attacker reacting first to a parried effort from Sebastian Tounekti. Richard’s save fell straight to the 28-year-old, who put the ball out of reach to put a ribbon on a heavily sought after three points for Celtic. Dundee United remain outside the top six, sitting seventh in the table with only two wins from their last thirteen games. They host Scott Brown’s Ayr United in the Scottish Cup next Saturday. As for today’s winners, a much welcomed result and performance for Martin O’Neill on his return cuts the gap on Hearts at least until they play Dundee tomorrow. The Bhoys have a game in hand of the capital side, which takes place this Wednesday away to sixth placed Falkirk. CELTIC: Schmeichel 5, Araujo 5 (Donovan 61′ 2), Trusty 5, Scales 7, Tierney 7, Hatate 5 (Nygren 61′ 5), McGregor 6, Engels 7, Tounekti 6 (Forrest 72′ 2), Yang 8 (McCowan 72′ 1) Maeda 6 (Kenny 72′ 1) DUNDEE UNITED: Richards 4, Naamo 4, Sevelj 5 (Eskesen 78′ 1), Graham 5, Keresztes 4, Ferry 3, Stephenson 4, Sibbald 5, Camara 2 (Fatah 46′ 2),  Stirton 2 (Strain 61′ 1), Sapsford 3 (Moller 79′ 1)

The Ten Shortest Serving Managers in Scotland Since 2000

Wilfried Nancy became the shortest serving permanent manager in Celtic history when he was sacked yesterday after just eight matches in charge.  The Frenchman left Columbus Crew in the MLS at the beginning of December for Glasgow, but failed to outlast the duration at the helm spent by his interim predecessor Martin O’Neill, who has since returned until the end of the season.  Yet the 48-year-old is not alone when it comes to forgettable reigns in Scotland, as we take a look at the ten shortest serving permanent hires in the Scottish top-flight since the turn of the millennium.    1. Wilfried Nancy, Celtic – 33 days The aforementioned Wilfried Nancy. He leaves Scotland with two wins and six losses, with many sceptical he understood the gravity of the situation he was getting himself into. Fans would argue that bigger problems remain at Parkhead, but Thierry Henry’s former assistant’s stubbornness to adapt to the personnel at his disposal and persistence with his 3-4-2-1 shape would be his undoing. Nancy lost a cup final, fell further behind leaders Hearts and lost 3-1 at home to Rangers in just over a month in charge.  2. Jack Ross, Dundee United – 71 days A name that still haunts Dundee United fans to this day, Jack Ross was sacked from Dundee United after seven games in 2022 which seen him lose his last five. Perhaps not the state of the form sheet that was the reason for sacking the former Sunderland manager, but instead the manner of the defeats. After an astounding 1-0 home win over AZ Alkmaar in Conference League qualifiers, players were rested in a defeat to Livingston for the away leg, which the Terrors lost 7-0. Defeats to Hearts and St. Mirren followed, before Ange Postecoglou’s swashbuckling Celtic thrashed them 9-0 at Tannadice to show Ross the door.  3. Derek Adams, Ross County – 79 days  Derek Adams returned to Dingwall for a third time in late 2023, but it was most definitely not third time the charm for the former Morecambe manager. This spell is most memorable for his infamous scathing post-match interview after a 1-0 home defeat to Dundee, where he said the standard of Scottish football was ‘shocking’ and that his former Morecambe side were ‘100 times better’ than his new squad. Unsurprisingly, this failed to turn his fortunes around, and Adams resigned after 2 wins from 12 games.  4. Alan Stubbs, St. Mirren – 87 days  Alan Stubbs took charge in Paisley in 2018 after St. Mirren won promotion to the Premiership under Jack Ross’ stewardship. He was given just four league games in charge, defeating Dundee on the opening day of the season before three losses to the Rangers, Livingston and Hearts. The Scouser won the Scottish Cup with Hibs in 2016, but has not returned to management since leaving the Buddies and was replaced by Oran Kearney who kept them up via the relegation play-offs.  5. Mark McGhee, Dundee – 103 days Mark McGhee was appointed Dundee gaffer to save their season in February 2022, despite having an existing six-game ban from his time at Motherwell five years prior. Another 9-0 victim to Celtic from his also forgettable Aberdeen spell as manager, he was unable to keep the dark blue side of Tannadice Street afloat, as they went down to the Championship and McGhee’s contract was not extended, having won only once in fourteen fixtures.  6. George Burley, Hearts – 112 days The most unjustified dismissal of this list, fans across the country could not believe what they were being told when news broke that George Burley left Tynecastle by ‘mutual consent’ in October 2005 following ‘irreconcilable differences’ with ill-famed owner Vladimir Romanov. Burley left Hearts top of the league after ten games, having won eight of those. His only other job in Scotland was as national team manager, but he was a lot less successful at Hampden than he was in the capital city.  7. Lee McCulloch, Kilmarnock – 118 days  Initially appointed in interim charge alongside Peter Leven in 2017 after Lee Clark left Rugby Park, Lee McCulloch took the reins full-time at the end of the season after Killie finished 8th in 16/17. However, after no wins in his opening eight league games with the permanent gig, the f0rmer Rangers’ utility player was sacked and replaced by Steve Clarke. McCulloch now serves as talent acquisition manager at Premier League club Brighton and Hove Albion.  8. Shaun Maloney, Hibernian – 120 days Shaun Maloney was offered his first managerial gig at Hibs in December 2021 after being highly spoken of from his time spent as a coach at Celtic and the Belgian national side. He would win his first two games, but would only register another four wins from his 19 managed overall and was sacked following a 2-1 Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to city rivals Hearts. Maloney has now become Martin O’Neill’s assistant for the rest of this season at Celtic.  9. Russell Martin, Rangers – 123 days In an era of awful appointments at Ibrox, Russell Martin holds the unwanted tag of being booted out the quickest. Enjoying little success in Govan as a player and as a manager, his arrival at the beginning of this season was immediately met with scepticism when he announced he would not follow club tradition of wearing a suit and brogues. His public fallouts with star men Nico Raskin and Hamza Igamane doomed him from the start, as he was escorted out of the Falkirk Stadium after a 1-1 draw which would be his last match as Rangers manager, winning just one of his first eight league games. 10. Michael Wimmer, Motherwell – 133 days Another appointment that didn’t go wrong, Wimmer left Motherwell at the end of last season having only took the job in February 2025. He won five and drew three of his twelve games in charge at Fir Park, before leaving for his native land to manage German third-tier side

Six Managers That Should be on Manchester United’s Radar

Manchester United have sacked manager Ruben Amorim after 14 months in charge, with the Portuguese boss losing more game than he won in 2025 and leaving Old Trafford with a win rate of less than 39%. With speculation over the former Sporting Lisbon gaffer’s future growing with every passing week until now, here are six managers Manchester United should have already had waiting in the wings to prepare for this moment. 1. Oliver Glasner The number one priority for the Red Devils should be Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner. The Austrian has a proven record of over achieving at his other jobs, famously winning the Europa League in 2022 with Eintracht Frankfurt, as well as securing his current employer’s their first piece of silverware in their history in the FA Cup last season along with a Community Shield a few months later. Glasner is yet to manage a ‘top’ club, but would reportedly be willing to make the move to the red side of Manchester with the 51-year-old’s contract at Selhurst Park up at the end of this season. 2. Xavi Hernandez Another perfect fit for United would be Barcelona icon Xavi. The silky Spaniard would command respect from the dressing room, given his standing and all that he has achieved as a player, something many would argue was sorely missed with Amorim. Having won league titles in Qatar and Spain in his management tenures at Al Sadd and Barcelona, his hand at Barca was also forced into producing young talent due to the financial mess of the Catalan giants, seeing him introduce the world to a certain Lamine Yamal. A match made in heaven for a club like United who take such pride in the youth talent that they have produced over the years. 3. Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer Former Man United player and manager Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer must be desperate for a second bite at the cherry. The Norwegian was sacked after a poor beginning to the 21/22 season after taking the job permanently in 2019. Looking back, he is the only manager post Sir Alex Ferguson that has a good relationship with the support. Perhaps it is mere revisionism, but it seems there is a section of the Manchester United faithful yearning for Ole-ball to return, and the baby faced assassin is available following his sacking from Turkish giants Besiktas at the beginning of this season. 4. Zinedine Zidane The man who appears to be linked with every high profile job under the sun, yet keeps himself far from the limelight. French legend Zizou won three Champions League trophies in a row in his first spell as Real Madrid manager, and won a league title in each of his spells. A CV like this would appeal to every big club in Europe, yet the jury on the former Ballon D’Or winner’s coaching ability is still out, provided that he is yet to manage outside of the Spanish capital and hasn’t managed at all since 2021. 5. Andoni Iraola The Spaniard has developed a reputation at Bournemouth of overachievement and has his side playing some entertaining football at the Vitality Stadium. The Bilbao legend took over the Cherries in 2023 following a failed application for the Celtic job, and has been in the discussion for any big 6 vacancy pretty much since. It would be interesting if United be the first to take the chance on him, however, considering the South-coast club’s form this season.  6. Enzo Maresca  The immediate bookies favourite, Maresca left Chelsea on New Year’s Day following disputes with the club’s hierarchy. The Italian has experience of working in Manchester already, winning Premier League 2 with rivals Manchester City’s development squad, as well as working under Pep Guardiola as assistant the season the Cityzen’s won the treble. He guided Leicester City back to the Premier League as Championship winners the year after as manager, before leaving for Chelsea where he spent eighteen months, winning a UEFA Conference League and the first expanded version of the Club World Cup within six weeks of each other.

Ruben Amorim Sacked as Manager of Manchester United

Ruben Amorim has been sacked as manager of Manchester United with immediate effect.  The 40-year-old took charge at Old Trafford in November of 2023, but has endured a torrid time of things in Manchester during his 14 months in charge, signing off with a 1-1 draw away to Leeds United yesterday. United and Scotland hero Darren Fletcher, whose twin sons both made the bench at Elland Road, will take temporary charge as the Red Devils travel to Turf Moor to face Burnley on Wednesday, with the backroom staff also departing. Amorim’s spell is the shortest of any Manchester United manager since David Moyes replaced Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013 and only lasted eight months, however Amorim has the worst win rate of any United manager in the Premier League with 32%, and a record low clean sheet ratio of 15%. His side’s best chance of silverware came in last season’s Europa League final, in which they lost 1-0 to Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur who finished 17th in the league the same season, incredulously only two places behind Manchester United in 15th. He seemingly survived the unfathomable in August of last year when League Two Grimsby Town knocked United out of the EFL cup on penalties, but a lack of ‘evolution’ this season has provided the club’s board with no choice.

‘When Has It Ever Been This Bad?’ – Luke McCowan Despairs Over Celtic’s Horror Form

Celtic midfielder Luke McCowan insists things have never been as bad at Celtic as they are just now, as the defending champions were defeated 3-1 at Celtic Park to bitter rivals Rangers. It is the sixth defeat in only eight games under Wilfried Nancy, who replaced popular interim manager Martin O’Neill at the beginning of December, who won seven of his eight games in temporary charge. And McCowan feels that this is the worst state of affairs at Parkhead in living memory. He said: “Let’s call a spade a spade, when has it ever been this bad? It’s never. “You’re asking fans to react to something for the first time they’re seeing it, and us as players for the first time we’re feeling it. “It’s not nice. I’ll tell you that as a player’s perspective. It doesn’t leave you. It haunts you every minute of every day when you’re not winning. “Getting home, not speaking to anybody, sitting on the couch, not moving, just doing that black screen instead of having the darts or having the football highlights on. “But, as I said, that is what it comes with playing with Celtic. You need to take that pressure on. You need to get there. You need to show personality and at times within games, we’ve not done that good enough.” Manager Wilfried Nancy has faced huge backlash from the Celtic support after his catastrophic start to life, yet former Dundee man McCowan and the squad remain behind the Frenchman. “We have to be [behind him]. He’s the manager. I don’t know what else to say on it, but he is the manager, so what do we do? “We just need to be together collectively, get better together, and know what we did wrong in the second half and go from there.” It was a capitulation of a second half from the Hoops as Rangers equalled their points tally despite being nine behind the reigning champions when Nancy took over. A dominant first half from Celtic seen them one ahead at the break, thanks to a solo goal from winger Hyun-jun Yang. However, a double from Youssef Chermiti and a Mikey Moore effort somehow getting beyond Kasper Schmeichel awarded Rangers their second victory at Celtic Park in as many visits. It is the first time Celtic have been leading a match at home at half-time and went on to lose in 152 matches, which incidentally was also a 3-1 defeat to Rangers in October 2010. A crowd of protestors gathered outside the main entrance of Celtic Park after the match, with fans anger directed mainly towards the club’s hierarchy, as well some towards their new manager, who became the quickest Celtic manager in history to lose four league games. Celtic return to action this Saturday at home to Dundee United who beat them 2-1 less than three weeks ago, with no official announcement on the 48-year-old’s future from the club so far as they now sit six points behind leaders Hearts.

Scotland Striker in Line For January Move

 Scotland striker Lyndon Dykes may be headed to Charlton Athletic this month in seek of more game time ahead of this summer’s World Cup. Dykes, currently at Birmingham City where he has not started a match since October, has failed to set himself ahead of ex-Celtic goalscorer Kyogo Furuhashi and fan-favourite Jay Stansfield. He will also face fierce competition on the national stage with Che Adams, Lawrence Shankland and Kieron Bowie all vying to be Scotland’s number 9 in America this summer, so game time will be crucial for the Australian-born striker if he wants to compete on the world’s biggest stage. The 30-year-old has featured 48 times under Steve Clarke for the Scottish national side, scoring on ten occasions including the third in Scotland’s 3-1 win over Greece to help qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1998.  The former Livingston man has mostly appeared as a substitute for Chris Davies’ at St. Andrew’s this campaign in the Championship, scoring only twice in 22 games, however he has only played 455 minutes of football.  Charlton currently sit 19th in the Championship, three points behind Birmingham in 17th with a game in hand.  During the summer window, the Dykes was expected to complete a loan move to Hibernian. However, the transfer fell through on deadline day as the clubs failed to agree a wage split.

Watt’s Rise, Derby Days, and Chasing the Jambos: SPFL Matchday 20 Breakdown

Scottish Premiership football returns for 2026 with an action-packed card on Saturday afternoon. Here are the key talking points to watch out for this weekend. Player to Watch: Elliot Watt Elliot Watt has evolved into a crucial cog in Jens Berthel Askou’s Fir Park machine. Having featured 25 times this term with four goal involvements, the midfielder has emerged as a standout in the Scottish Premiership. Following a loan spell at relegated St Johnstone last season, the former Burton Albion man has flourished for Motherwell, playing with a high level of consistency and maturity. With 2026 now underway, this could be a career-defining year for Watt. While Steve Clarke’s Scotland midfield seems settled, Watt’s current form suggests he could force his way into international contention. As Motherwell host St Mirren on Saturday, Watt will be important for the Steelmen, as they look to reclaim third place. Game of the Round: Celtic vs. Rangers The first domestic fixture of the year sees Scotland’s two powerhouses collide at Celtic Park, yet this episode carries a unique level of wonder, with both clubs in states of transition. Pressure is mounting on Wilfried Nancy. The Celtic boss has endured a chaotic start to his tenure, losing five of his opening seven matches. Despite claiming to see “good stuff” in their recent defeat to Motherwell, Nancy’s side missed the opportunity to move level with leaders Hearts. Conversely, Danny Rohl has steadied the ship at Ibrox. Since his arrival, he has reduced the gap to the summit from 13 points to six. He may have tasted defeat in his first derby during the League Cup semi-final, but a run of just one loss in eleven league matches has reignited a title charge that seemed impossible just months ago. Victory for either manager will be crucial for the remaining months of the season. Team in the Spotlight: Hearts The league leaders return to Tynecastle to host Livingston, desperate to banish the memory of their derby defeat at Easter Road last weekend. Having reached the midway point of the season at the summit of the Scottish Premiership, Derek McInnes will be keen for his side to maintain their challenge in 2026. They face a struggling Livingston side, but will be focused on extending their unbeaten home record. Victory could build further breathing space from the chasing pack, depending on the result at Celtic Park. The home side may be aided by their latest recruit, Spanish right-back Jordi Altena, who officially joined from the Dutch second division on January 1st.

Celtic to Make First Signing of Wilfried Nancy Era

Celtic have reportedly agreed a loan deal for Bournemouth right-back Julian Araujo. The Mexican international has made the trip to Glasgow from the South coast tonight as the clubs continue to negotiate a deal before Celtic’s derby clash against Rangers this Saturday. Araujo is said to be keen to register as much game time as possible to remain in contention of making Mexico’s World Cup squad as they host the tournament alongside the USA and Canada. Bournemouth have exceeded the limit of loans out to international clubs, meaning the Premier League side will have to recall someone before Araujo receives the green light for the green and white. It is unknown which loan will be sacrificed for Araujo’s switch to go through, yet Cherries boss Andoni Iraola is keen for the player to move having only played him once this season, in a cup tie defeat at home to Brentford where the 24-year-old was sent off in added time. Celtic manager Wilfried Nancy will be keen to reinforce his squad as quickly as possible after five defeats in his first seven games has seen supporter backing for him reach an all time low. The Frenchman has been aware of Araujo since he emerged as one of the top talents in the MLS when he came through at LA Galaxy, eventually earning a move to Spanish giants Barcelona in 2023 at the same time Nancy was at CF Montreal and Columbus Crew. Araujo, who made one cap for the U.S national side before switching allegiance, signed a 5-year deal with Bournemouth in 2024 for £10m, and made 12 Premier League appearances in his maiden season. Reports have also suggested that Manchester City will be terminating the loan of Jahmai Simpson-Pusey. The right sided centre half has played just once in his time at Celtic so far this season.

Former Aviva Stadium CEO Takes Commercial Officer Job at Rangers

David French has been announced as Rangers new Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) at Ibrox after leaving his role at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin. French left his role in the Irish capital in early 2025 helping organise matchday events for both the Irish Football and Rugby teams, along with handling non-sporting events such as concerts that were held at the stadium. Before settling in Ireland, French had worked as the Director of Venue at Manchester United and was also the General Manager of the Mercedes-Benz stadium in Shanghai, China. He is described as a “commercially focused leader with extensive experience in finance and commercial roles.” This is according to his professional LinkedIn profile. The CCO position at Ibrox had been empty since Sean Jefferson left the club at the end of last season, who had the role on an interim basis. This comes as Rangers chairman Andrew Cavanagh and vice-chairman Paraag Marathe have taken a more hands-on approach to running the club since the failures of Russell Martin, Kevin Thelwell and Patrick Stewart earlier on this season. Danny Rohl has taken over as Rangers head coach from Martin, and we at SNN Sports announced that Stig Inge Bjørnebye had arrived at Rangers as a football consultant, a role similar to the director of football title held by Thelwell. It is unknown when a successor to Stewart as CEO will be announced however French as CCO will be tasked with using Ibrox and neighbouring Edmiston House to drive up revenue with both footballing and non-footballing ventures for the club. It is also believed that over the past few weeks Cavanagh and Marathe have started to get towards the end of their recruitment process for the various empty roles in the Rangers boardroom. It is anticipated that there will be more movement on this front from Rangers in the near future as the club continues to rebuild itself on and off the pitch after the disastrous state the club was in just a number of months ago.
