Josh Campbell set for Hibs departure as Premier League veteran linked

Reports indicate that Josh Campbell is set to join St. Johnstone on a season-long loan, whilst Danny Ings is rumoured to be joining the club.  Despite scoring at Ibrox earlier this season, game time has been hard to come by for the Hibs midfielder. Earlier reports indicated Dundee United were interested in Campbell, but it seems he is on his way to Perth to join up with Simo Valakari’s side. A boyhood Hibs fan, Campbell has played 184 times for Hibs since coming through the academy, being a mainstay at the club under numerous managers such as Jack Ross, Shaun Maloney, Lee Johnson, Nick Montgomery and David Gray. He’s scored 23 goals during his time at Hibs and has been known to pop up in the big moments for Hibs, scoring a penalty in this season’s win at Ibrox, whilst netting in last season’s Edinburgh derby win, a brace against Celtic in 2025, a hat-trick in a 6-0 win against Aberdeen (where he also provided two assists) and a late equaliser against Rangers whilst Lee Johnson was in charge at Hibs. The Edinburgh side have also been linked with ex-Premier League striker Danny Ings. The 34-year-old has been a free agent since leaving Sheffield United last season, but made his name in England’s top flight at clubs such as Liverpool, West Ham, Southampton, Aston Villa and Burnley. Ings won the 2022/23 Conference League title at West Ham and finished 2nd in the 2019/20 Premier League Golden Boot race, netting 22 goals whilst at Southampton, only Jamie Vardy scored more that year on 23. Hibs host Hearts in the Edinburgh derby tonight, if Campbell’s move to Perth is completed by the 5pm deadline, it is unlikely he’d make his debut this weekend as St. Johnstone host his parent club. However, he wouldn’t have long to wait as Celtic visit McDiarmid Park on Wednesday.

Premier League transfer merry-go-round as winger dictates moves across the country and out-of-favour Chelsea trio set to depart

It is understood that Mykhailo Mudryk is set to join Tottenham Hotspur on loan, with Tosin Adarabioyo set to make the same move permanently. Robert Sanchez is also Como bound, per Fabrizio Romano. Iliman Ndiaye also looks to be on the way from Everton to Manchester City, which could dictate transfers elsewhere in the league.  Mudryk, who cost Chelsea £89,000,000, has not played for the club since November 2024 as the Ukranian tested positive for doping and was handed a 4-year-ban, losing his #10 shirt to Cole Palmer in the process. The ban was overturned in July after his appeal ruled he did NOT dope. It however seems he’s not in Xabi Alonso’s Chelsea plans as he’s yet to play a competitive match since his return with Alonso’s front three of Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers and Joao Pedro appearing nailed down. The winger was previously linked with a loan move to Leeds United, but it now seems his destination will be across London with Roberto De Zerbi’s Tottenham Hotspur. It’s been a busy window for Spurs, who initially looked to add Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye to their wide options, but it’s said that Manchester City have hijacked the move with their deal to bring Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo seemingly falling through, thus forcing Tottenham’s hand to offer Mudryk more game time during his comeback season. A move for Ndiaye could cause a transfer domino effect in the Premier League. It was rumoured that Richarlison would become a bargaining chip in the deal should Ndiaye have moved to Spurs, with the Brazilian being keen to return to Merseyside. Despite not wanting to be used in a swap deal, he said: “After everything I’ve been through in the last few years, I’ve decided that never again will anyone decide my future for me. “If they reach an agreement between Spurs and Everton, I will return to my beloved club. “My intention was to go back to the place where I was very happy, yes, but the negotiations happened only in the way certain people wanted, and it will no longer be like that. “Despite all this turmoil, I am under contract at Spurs and will remain at the club’s disposal.” Prior to the transfer hijacking, Manchester City were previously linked with Ndiaye as Jack Grealish was rumoured to go the other way after impressing at Everton before injury last season. Whilst he’s not said to be involved in this deal as Enzo Maresca’s side are rumoured to pay a £65,000,000 fee for the winger. It’s also understood Everon have begun pushing to bring Grealish back to the club in a separate deal. Ndiaye’s move to Manchester now comes after their proposed transfer of Cody Gakpo collapsed. The Dutchman was set to join Manchester City, but rumours suggest Liverpool failed to agree fees for Brighton’s Yakuba Minteh and Crystal Palace’s Ismailia Sarr, leading to them opting to hold on to Gakpo. Liverpool announced the signing of Bradley Barcola from PSG in a £123,000,000 deal yesterday, but would look for their third winger of the summer should Gakpo leave. Tosin Adarabioyo has also been out-of-favour in West London as Xabi Alonso looks to trim an incredibly bloated squad. Roberto De Zerbi revealed that centre-back Kevin Danso has asked to leave the club, so it is expected that Adarabioyo could be the replacement that allows Danso to move on. The Englishman is a product of Manchester City’s academy and moved across West London from Fulham to Chelsea two years ago. Finally, goalkeeper Robert Sanchez is looking set to join Cesc Fabregas’ Como side on loan following the signing of Emiliano Martinez. Sanchez was slammed for his performance during Chelsea’s 3-2 win away to Fulham on opening day, forcing the club to move for the World Cup winning goalkeeper. Martinez made his debut on Sunday as Chelsea defeated Brighton 4-3 at Stamford Bridge, with Sanchez being left out of the squad. If any of these deals are set to happen, the clubs involved will need to act fast as the English transfer window closes at 11pm tonight.

Everything you need to know about the 2026/27 Premier League season

Arsenal regained their Premier League crown last season, but after a World Cup and a hectic summer which has saw nine new managers in the dugout this season, it’s bound to be another crazy season in England. Coventry, Hull and Ipswich have all returned to the division, two of which winning on opening day. With the first round of the Premier League in, here’s what to expect from every team this season. Arsenal:  Mikel Arteta’s side became the first Arsenal team to win the league since the 03/04 Invincibles last season, and it only felt a matter of time after multiple 2nd place finishes. The Champions League finalists look in a good position to do it again, not only due to the squad Arteta has spent years building, or how hard they are to beat, but also thanks to the masses of change around them. Like mentioned, Arteta has spent years building a squad with depth only bested by Guardiola’s Manchester City team, which means Arsenal have been able to have a quieter window. That being said, the business they have done looks to be extremely smart, you can see where every player fits in. Players in:  Bruno Guimaraes, Illian Meslier, Christos Tzolis, Ezri Konsa, Piero Hincapie (loan made permanent). Players out: Leandro Trossard, Christian Norgaard, Karl Hein, Jakub Kiwior (loan made permanent). What to expect: Champions Aston Villa: When Unai Emery took over at Aston Villa, they looked like they were bound for the Championship, but the Spaniard has transformed them into European regulars in a matter of years. Villa are now preparing for their second Champions League under Emery after he won his fifth Europa League last season. They’ll be without their star man Morgan Rogers after his big money move to Chelsea, Youri Tielemans could be a massive loss too. It looks like Emi Martinez will stay after all after another summer linked away. If the UEFA Super Cup against PSG is anything to go by, it looks like Villa could promote their youth this season, especially given the amount of big names that have left Villa Park this window. Players in: Johan Manzambi, Joao Gomes, Modu Keba Cisse, Zion Suzuki, Matteo Ruggeri, Alejandro Garnacho (loan), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (loan). Players out: Morgan Rogers, Donyell Malen, Youri Tielemans, Lewis Dobbin, Lucas Dinge, Enzo Barrenechea, Ezri Konsa, Samuel Illing-Junior (loan), Andres Garcia (loan), Joe Gauci (loan), Oliwer Zych (loan), Kosta Nedeljkovic (loan). What to expect: European places Bournemouth:  Marco Rose has replaced Andoni Iraola in the Bournemouth dugout this season as the club prepare for their first-ever season of European football. Bournemouth are always hard ones to predict, but this year even more so with a new manager, a quantity of unproven signings and balancing playing twice, especially in a squad that doesn’t look to have too much depth. Players in:  Alvaro Rodriguez, Antonio Silva, Juanalu Sanchez. Players out: Hamed Traore, Luis Sinisterra, Marcos Senesi, Enes Unal, Alex Jiminez (loan), Alex Paulsen (loan). What to expect: Bottom-half Brentford:  Brentford so narrowly missed out on European football last season following a breakout year for manager Keith Andrews. From Ollie Watkins to Ivan Toney to Bryan Mbueno and Yoanne Wissa to Igor Thiago, they always have someone who knows where the net is. They’re always a hard team to predict and always seem to exceed expectations, so watch out for Brentford again. Players in:  Mamadou Sangare, Jannik Schuster, Jaiden Anthony, Callum Wilson. Players out:  Frank Onyeka, Jordan Henderson, Ryan Trevitt (loan), Yunus Konnak (loan), Romelle Donovan (loan), Matthew Cox (loan). What to expect: Top-half Brighton:  Hearts stole the headlines last year, but Brighton have shown what Jamestown Analytics have been able to do for years. They’re in the Conference League Play-Offs this season, so could be balancing twice a week football too. It’s been a busy window for both ins and outs for the Premier League’s youngest ever permanent manager. Players in: Luka Vuskovic, Zadok Yohanna, Pascal Struijk, Costinha, Michael Svoboda, Rodrigo Rego, Promise David (loan). Players out: Jan Paul Van Hecke, Carl Rushworth, Diego Coppola, Danny Welbeck, Jeremy Sarmiento, Joel Veltman, James Milner (retired), Adam Webster, Solly March, Facundo Bounnanotte (loan), Tommy Watson (loan), James Beadle (loan), Rodrigo Rego (loan), Do Young-Yoon (loan). What to expect: European contenders Chelsea The post-Roman Abramovic era in West London can be summed up by one word, instability. Chelsea are preparing for yet another season under a new manager, but Xabi Alonso seems like one Chelsea fans can be really excited about. Of course, it didn’t work out for Alonso in Madrid, but his 2023/24 season with Leverkusen shows what the footballing legend is capable of. They’ve tried it all at Stamford Bridge, from the stability of Mauricio Pochettino to the exciting new managers such as Graham Potter, Enzo Maresca and Liam Rosenior, but something about Alonso feels different. If he hits the ground running and is given time, the good times could be coming back to Chelsea soon. Of course, it’s been a busy transfer window at Chelsea, but Morgan Rogers has been one of the Premier League’s best players in recent years and should be suited to Alonso’s system. Danny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson don’t jump off the page at anyone, but the experience they’ll bring to such a young squad can only be a good thing. Players in: Morgan Rogers, Maxence Lacroix, Marco Palesta, Goevanny Quenda, Valentin Barco, Emmanuel Emeghma, Pep Chavarria, Denner, Danny Welbeck, Dastan Satpaev, Jordan Henderson. Players out: Andrey Santos, Marc Cucurella, Trevor Chalobah, Tyrique George, Omari Kellyman, Dastan Satpaev (loan), Alejandro Garnacho (loan), Filip Jorgensen (loan), Benoit Badiashile (loan). What to expect: Champions League places Coventry City: Coventry return to the Premier League for the first time in 25 years this season, and after winning the Championship last season, certainly look the pick of the bunch from the promoted sides. One of the main questions surrounding Coventry going into this season will be whether Frank Lampard can keep up tactically in the Premier League as weak points have been pointed out in his previous sides.

PSG vs Liverpool – Match Preview

PSG host an out of form Liverpool in the first leg of this Champions League Last 8 tie. These sides were drawn in the same group in the 2018/19 Champions League. In the first meeting, which took place at Anfield, Liverpool won 3-2, courtesy of a stoppage time strike from Brazilian forward Firmino. In the return fixture, PSG ran out 2-1 winners, with the goals coming from Bernat and Neymar. These sides also met in the Last 16 of the Champions League last season. Despite getting outplayed throughout, Liverpool won the first leg 1-0 in Paris, courtesy of a late strike from Elliot, and a stellar display from Alisson. In the second leg, PSG won 1-0 after 120 minutes, courtesy of an early strike from Ballon d’Or winner Dembele, which sent the tie to penalties, where the French outfit ran out 4-1 winners, courtesy of heroics from current Manchester City goalkeeper Donnarumma. The reigning Champions of Europe did not have a successful group phase, finishing outside of the automatic knockout places. As a result, PSG had to face fellow French side AS Monaco over two legs for a spot in the Last 16. The French champions overturned a two-goal deficit to win the first leg 3-2 away from home against 10 men. In the second leg, Monaco hit the front just before half time to level the tie, but once again, Monaco got a man sent off, and PSG capitalised, scoring two quickfire goals. Teze levelled the tie on the night in injury time, but it proved to be just a consolation. Luis Enrique’s men were drawn Chelsea in the Last 16, where they comfortably progressed, winning 8-2 across the two legs. Liverpool had a solid Champions League, league phase, finishing third, only behind Bayern Munchen and Arsenal. Arne Slot’s men faced Turkish outfit Galatasaray in the Last 16. In Turkey, Liverpool lost 1-0, courtesy of an early strike from Lemina. However, in the second leg, Liverpool turned the deficit around, winning 4-0 in Merseyside, courtesy of goals from Szoboszlai, Ekitike, Gravenberch and Salah, to set up a meeting with PSG in the Last 8. PSG come into this fixture off the back of back-to-back league wins, against Nice and Toulouse, and in their last four matches in all competitions, the French outfit have found the net fifteen times. On the other hand, Liverpool come into this fixture off the back of back-to-back defeats against Brighton in the Premier League and a 4-0 defeat against Manchester City in the FA Cup in their last outing. France World Cup winner Christophe Dugarry believes that PSG will “wrap up” the quarter-final in the first leg in Paris: “It’s going to be a walk in the park, honestly. Liverpool are disastrous. Fourteen wins, ten losses, and seven draws since the start of the season in the league. They’re catastrophic. “I’m not going to say they have bad players, but they don’t play together. “In my opinion, the difference in level is colossal. I think PSG will wrap up the quarter-final in the first leg.” “They have no legs, they have nothing. Technically they have good players, they’re not clumsy, but they play at a snail’s pace. “When you see the intensity Paris Saint-Germain manages to bring today, with their legs back, with their mental strength and everything else they’ve regained…there’s no comparison between the two teams. “It’s going to be a massacre! It’s going to be a massacre.”

UCL Roundup: Arsenal, Liverpool Advance; City, Spurs Among Big Exits

Arsenal and Liverpool both progress into the next round of the UEFA Champions League with Manchester City, Chelsea, Newcastle and Tottenham’s European Campaign’s all coming to an end.  Here is a round-up from the Round of 16 fixtures involving the six Premier League sides: Chelsea 0-3 PSG (PSG win 8-2 on aggregate) Following a tough night in the French capital last week, it didn’t get any better in London. Chelsea did have a few good chances but were no where near clinical enough – exact opposite of PSG as they were excellent in front of goal seeing off Chelsea with three goals. Chelsea started on the wrong foot as Kvaratskhelia fired PSG ahead followed by a Barcola strike eight minutes later. Mayulu sealed the win if it wasn’t already done to keep the holders in the competition as the Premier League side exit. Manchester City 1-2 Real Madrid (Real Madrid win 5-1 on aggregate) The first leg was far from expected as Valverde’s first half hat trick gave the Madrid side a valuable lead going into the leg in Manchester. Pep’s side got off to the worst start possible which saw Bernardo Silva shown red which gave the visitors a penalty after 22 minutes where Vinicius Junior dispatched to put Real Madrid further ahead. City pulled one back before the break through Haaland but was still going to be an uphill battle. City continued to huff and puff but couldn’t find another as in the dying minutes, Vinicius Junior grabbed his second to dump Man City out of the competition. Arsenal 2-0 Bayer Leverkusen (Arsenal win 3-1 on aggregate) Arsenal got the job done on home soil after a 1-1 draw in Germany last week. The Gunners were dominant for majority of the game which paid off after 36 minutes as Eze with an outstanding strike from distance right into the back of the net gave Arteta’s side a deserved lead going into the break. Arsenal were in need of a second to see off any worries where Declan Rice made no mistake and doubled the advantage on the night to see Arsenal through following a deserved victory in North London. Liverpool 4-0 Galatasaray (Liverpool win 4-1 on aggregate) It was a disappointing night in Turkey in the first leg as Liverpool fell short as the Turkish side ran away 1-0 winners but the second leg was total opposite. Liverpool started brightly where Dominic Szoboszlai had Arne Slott’s men level on aggregate after 25 minutes. Ekitike put the hosts in front six minutes into the second period and just two minutes on they had a third as Gravenberch handed Liverpool the advantage going into the latter stages. Salah had then got in on the act with a strike just after the hour mark sure no upset was on the cards and Liverpool continue. Barcelona 7-2 Newcastle (Barcelona win 8-3 on aggregate) Following a 1-1 draw in Newcastle last week, the game began as a very exciting contest. Raphinha put Barca ahead very early on but Elanga had the Premier League side back on level terms nine minutes on. Just a few minutes later, Barcelona were ahead once again, this time through Bernal who smashed the ball home in a exciting start. 10 minutes on, Elanga netted the fourth goal of the half to draw Newcastle level once again but Barca were given a late first-half penalty following a push from Trippier where wonderkid Yamal netted into the bottom right-hand corner. It continued to go down hill as the La Liga side went onto score another 4 with Lopez on target, Raphinha scoring his second as well as Robert Lewandowski grabbing a brace to end the Newcastle dreams in style. Tottenham 3-2 Atletico Madrid (Atletico Madrid win 7-5 on aggregate) The first leg was a complete horror show as three costly errors saw Atletico go ahead by three goals within 15 minutes which saw Kinsky get subbed off after just 17 minutes which saw Tottenham go on to lose 5-2 in the Spanish capital. However, it was a much improved performance in North London but just wasn’t enough to go through. Kolo Muani had Spurs’ ahead after half-an-hour where Spurs were ahead at half-time. Atletico responded right away as former Manchester City man Jullian Alvarez equalised for the visitors. Xavi Simons regained the lead for Tottenham but Hancko cancelled out the goal on 75 minutes as Atletico refused to let Tottenham have any chance of getting back into the match. Tottenham won it late on through a Simons penalty but just wasn’t enough to win the game over both legs as Igor Tudor’s men crash out.

Robertson coy on future ahead of crunch Champions League tie

Scotland captain Andy Robertson has shut down transfer talks linking him to Celtic, as his side looks to overturn their Champions League knockout tie against Galatasaray. The 32-year-old’s Liverpool contract runs out in the coming months, but contract plans are not at the forefront of his mind ahead of the season run-in. “I don’t think the day is the day to discuss that. “I think 24 hours before a massive Champions League game, I don’t think anyone should really be talking about their future. “We’ve got such a massive game ahead of us. “I know it’s a boring answer, and I can only apologise for that, my full focus as being a part of this time is trying to get through tomorrow night. “We’ve obviously given ourselves an uphill battle, and I think full focus has to be on that. “There’ll be time to talk about my future but I’m not sure today’s that day.” Robertson will lead Scotland to a first World Cup appearance in 28 years, and looks set to feature in the upcoming friendlies against Japan and Côte d’Ivoire. With two Premier League titles, a Champions League medal, and several domestic trophies to his name, his 2017 move to Liverpool has become a roaring success.

“We have developed a lot” – Slot lauds Liverpool transformation after cup victory

Liverpool boss Arne Slot believes his side is in “a good place” after safely progressing to the 5th round of the FA Cup against Brighton. Speaking at full-time, the Dutch boss praised his team’s clinical nature. “Satisfying because we scored three, and that’s not really been coming for us. To create a lot of chances has been. To score three with the chances we did have has not happened that many times this season so I am really pleased with that. “I thought we were up already earlier but not many moments later we scored from a full-back and another full-back attacking the box and that tells you how much these players want to score a goal. The second goal was even nicer than the first one. “It started out with us bringing the ball out from the back. It was two teams wanting to bring the ball out from the back which you don’t see that much anymore in the Premier League. It was a great team goal, a great switch and Mohamed Salah laying it off and the finish was probably the nicest part of the attack. Liverpool sit 6th in the Premier League, but have struggled to recapture the consistent form that lauded a first league title since 2020. But with Champions League knockout football on the horizon, Slot believes his side are in a good position heading into the run in. “In the end we get players back. It is fair to say we have developed a lot from two, three or four months ago. We are much more able to bring the intensity levels that are needed in the Premier League and Champions League after two days rest. Most of these players are young so there is a lot more to come from them. That is why we did what we did in the summer. Giving them time to adjust also cost us too many points that is also clear but the team is in a good place at the moment.” The Reds return to League action against Nottingham Forest next Sunday, aiming to return to the top four, ahead of a key fixture run.

“They Knew in That Dressing Room What They’d Done” – Kenny Dalglish Exclusive on Parkhead Return

Celtic hero Kenny Dalglish lifted the lid on what went wrong upon his return to Celtic Park as Director of Football in 1999, speaking exclusively on The Warm-Up, presented by William Hill.  The Parkhead legend’s comeback overseen the ill-fated tenure of John Barnes as manager, with Dalglish quick to remember that his fellow Liverpool icon enjoyed a successful start to life in Glasgow. However, the 74-year-old revealed that he was apprehensive in showing Barnes support to avoid undermining him. Speaking to The Warm-Up, Dalglish said: “They asked me to make recommendations, and that [appointing Barnes] was one I made. “He had the second best start of any Celtic manager, at that time. They went to Aberdeen first game of the season and won 5-0. “Really, I didn’t know when to help him. I could maybe have helped him, and maybe I should’ve helped him, then I’m saying I don’t want to show up in front of the boys. I didn’t want to try and feel like I was trying to do that [undermining] because I never. “So I suppose that was my mistake.” Dalglish would step in as interim manager until the end of the season following Barnes dismissal after an infamous home 3-1 defeat to Inverness Caledonian Thistle, and pulled no punches on how he felt about the players he inherited. “They were disgraceful. Well there’s an example, the last game of the season, there was eight or nine boys making their debut. “I didn’t regret going back. I regretted not helping maybe more than I could have, but I was trying to do it in John’s best interests. “When he left, I think they knew in that dressing room what they’d done. And if they never they got told anyway.” ‘King’ Kenny’s first role in management came as player/manager at Liverpool in 1985. Replacing Joe Fagan after the Heysel Stadium disaster, Dalglish took the reins at Anfield despite having three years left of a four-year playing deal, to the disbelief of himself and his wife Marina. “They [chairman and chief executive] said “we want to offer you the manager’s job” and I put the phone down. “And I said to Marina, they’ve just been on the phone there, they want to offer me the manager’s job. “She went ‘why?’. I says I don’t know, I was doing alright as well in the games! “I still don’t know why [they offered him the job]. I said yes, but if I’m garbage I’m going back to being a player, that was the first thing I said to them.” His first season ended with the club’s first double, pipping city rivals Everton to the league title by two points, in a season which seen Dalglish select himself and score the winner on the final day, before making the Toffees runners-up again in the F.A Cup final. As a player, he is revered at club and international level, amassing 102 caps and scoring 30 goals for Scotland, both of which are still national records. With current Scottish captain Andrew Robertson hot on the heels of his record with 90 current caps, Dalglish has some friendly advice for another Liverpool legend. “I think he should retire from international football! “It would be nice if we would [break the caps record], wouldn’t it? “I’ll let him have it!” Dalglish talks on the above and much more on the full episode of The Warm-Up, brought to you by William Hill, including breaking through after the Lisbon Lions at Celtic under Jock Stein, as well as a hilarious story with host Chris Sutton fancying himself at centre-half during Dalglish’s time as Blackburn Rovers boss.

Kenny Dalglish Exclusive – Anfield Legend’s Advice for Scotland Captain Robertson

Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish has wished that Scotland captain Andrew Robertson stays at Anfield until the expiry of his contract this summer. The left back’s deal in Merseyside runs out at the end of this season, with rumoured interest from Tottenham Hotspur being reported this month for a cut-price transfer. But compatriot Dalglish revealed exclusively on The Warm-Up, presented by William Hill, that he hopes the 31-year-old remains at the Premier League holders until the summer to ensure of a fitting send-off. Dalglish said: “I hope he stays where he is, because he’s been brilliant for Liverpool. “He’s a decent fella—he’s done a great job. “I don’t know if he’s going to move on from Liverpool. It may be best to just let it run its course. When his contract is up, it’s up. “And if he has to go somewhere else, it will be sad. I hope the Liverpool supporters get the opportunity, if he is going to go, to say cheerio to him.” The Scotland captain joined Liverpool from Hull City in 2017, but had faced stiff competition this season for playing time since the Reds signed Hungarian Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth last summer. Spurs have already made their interest clear, and there have been murmurs of a move back to his homeland to boyhood heroes Celtic, who released Robertson at youth level. Dalglish talks Andy Robertson and more on this upcoming episode of The Warm-Up, brought to you by William Hill, where footballing icon is joined by Kris Boyd, Steven Naismith and Chris Sutton for a comprehensive conversation covering his early days growing up in Glasgow and his journey through Jock Stein’s Celtic and Liverpool – becoming arguably the greatest player Scotland has ever produced. On Monday 2nd February, the full episode will be published – including stories of Kenny’s early days at Celtic, how his Dad became one of the only people to ever stand up to Jock Stein, being part of a Tartan revolution at Liverpool before successfully moving into management. Kenny Dalglish features on The Warm-Up, the William Hill SPFL’s weekly preview show. Check out the full episode here from Monday: https://www.youtube.com/@WilliamHillSPFL
