      Celtic-Rangers League Cup final chaos update as four charged in connection with Glasgow mayhem

      by

      FOUR men have been charged in connection with violent scenes which broke out ahead of the Old Firm League Cup clash in December.Violence erupted on Glasgow’s city centre ahead of the Rangers v Celtic game which saw the Hoops clinch the cup in a nail biting penalty shoot-out.Members of the Green Brigade march down Argyle Street on December 15, last yearPyros were let off during the violent scenes between Rangers and Celtic fansHowever the excitement of the December 15 game was already marred by horror scenes in the city’s Argyle Street before the match when gangs of Rangers and Celtic yobs rampaged in the city.We told how Christmas shoppers were left terrified as masked ultras wearing Santa hats threw pyros and confronted cops in the city centre before the Celtic-Rangers Premier Sports Cup Final at Hampden. One officer was allegedly struck in the eye by a glass bottle while a 26-year-old fan was said to have been badly hurt as Green Brigade and Union Bears thugs faced-off.Revellers dodged a lit flare hurled inside Celtic fan favourite pub Gallagher’s, while horrified women and kids watched as thugs in balaclavas charged their rivals.Police had been hunting 19 people involved in the violence and today confirmed four men, aged 23, 26, 27 and 28, were arrested from the Glasgow and South Lanarkshire areas.All four suspects are all being held in Police custody and are due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday, 10 February.Reports will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.A Police Scotland spokesperson stated: “This is an ongoing operation and enquiries are ongoing to identify and trace those involved in the disorder. Most read in Football”I urge anyone who has any information that could assist our investigation to please attend at a local police station or contact us via 101.”The arrests come as Celtic managed to avoid a predicted away fan ban for the Champion’s League play-off round tie against Bayern Munich.The Hoops have a suspended one-match ban hanging over them over the use of pyrotechnics, which was assumed would be initiated after a fan threw a green smoke bomb onto the pitch during the defeat to Aston Villa.However in a shock move Uefa opted for just a 10,000 Euro fine, meaning that Celtic fans will be allowed to attend the huge clash against the German giants at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday.However the club reminded fans that the suspended one-match ban remains in place and any future pyrotechnics events would leave an “extremely high risk” of it being triggered down the line.The Club added: “Again we must make it very clear that pyrotechnics have absolutely no place at our matches and should further incidents occur, then clearly, once again, there is an extremely high risk of our supporters not being permitted access to future matches.” More

      Eddie Howe issues hands-off warning as fears arise Kieran Trippier could still leave Newcastle this month

      by

      EDDIE HOWE has revealed his delight at keeping Kieran Trippier – and issued a hands-off warning to Galatasaray.The veteran full-back, 34, has suffered a difficult campaign both on and off-field amid constant speculation over his future.Eddie Howe has issued a hands-off warning over Kieran TrippierCredit: GettyThe right-back is a target for GalatasarayCredit: GettyTurkish giants Galatasaray are the latest club to test the waters about signing the ex-England star.And they could still try and make a move before their transfer window closes on February 11.PSR-conscious Toon chiefs could have been tempted to cash in on Trippier given he only has 18 months remaining on his St James’ Park contract.Howe, however, could not be happier that he still has Trippier in his squad.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLAnd the ace produced a fine performance, on just his seventh start this season, in the 2-0 win over Arsenal on Wednesday to secure a place in the Carabao Cup Final.Howe said: “Yeah, no part of us wanted to lose Kieran. He’s had a difficult season and not so much on the pitch.“He’s had a couple of fitness issues that just halted his progress. “He then came back into the team and had a really good couple of performances around Christmas time and showed his qualities again having not played a lot of football.Most read in FootballJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS“To then play and perform in high-level games is a real skill and is not easy to do. “He has been able to do that consistently for us. He then came in against Arsenal and I thought he was magnificent.Newcastle’s Alexander Isak talks to Alan Shearer about Champions League desires “Tino Livramento has had a really good season and obviously Emil Krafth can play at right back, so there is real competition for places. “We love the players we have. But Kieran is unique, there is no one who can do what he can do.“Set-play delivery, passing ability and his overall leadership is unique.“He is someone we definitely see hopefully staying and having a big impact in the second half of the season.” More

      Man City launch new legal battle against Premier League two weeks before landmark hearing

      by

      MANCHESTER City launched another legal battle against the Premier League – as they want the LATEST sponsorship rules declared ILLEGAL.City’s pre-emptive strike was initiated last month ahead of this week’s hearing into their challenges against the previous set of Associated Party Transaction rules.Man City have launched another legal battle against the Premier LeagueCredit: GettyPrem and City lawyers argued their case at a two day Arbitration hearing which is due to determine whether the regulations which were declared “unlawful” in the autumn have been fixed by the changes voted in by a 16-4 majority vote of clubs in November.City are arguing that the declaration by the panel that the rules as they previously stood were “unlawful” meant that they could not just be adjusted by the “tweaks” approved by the club after Prem bosses took independent legal advice.But now Prem chief executive Richard Masters has told the 20 clubs that City have begun separate proceedings which call into question the legitimacy of the entire rulebook relating to the deals.Associated Party Transactions – APTs – are commercial contracts entered into by clubs with companies related to their owners.Read More on Man CityIn November, Prem bosses persuaded Chelsea, Everton and Wolves to change sides and back the new regulations, which allowed owners to convert previous “shareholder loans” into shares in their clubs.City wanted ahead of the vote that a decision not to look retrospectively at the loans – often at low or zero interest rates – would not be legally viable.That is understood to be the thrust of the latest legal move, with Lord Pannick KC understood to again be leading City’s legal arguments.In his letter to clubs – issued ahead of next week’s two day “shareholder” meeting, likely to be an even feistier affair given the anger brewing between the two sides – Masters explained: “Manchester City FC seeks a declaration that the amendments approved by clubs in November (and therefore the current APT rules in force) are unlawful and void.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS“The Premier League remains strongly of the view that the amendments passed in November were lawful and the APT rules comply with all competition law requirements.“We consider that the new arbitration must be resolved as soon as possible and, to that end, have agreed that the same tribunal should be appointed to hear the new case.How Arsenal humbled Man City with Arteta’s genius double press“The parties are currently corresponding in relation to further directions.“Meanwhile, the APT rules remain in full force and effect and clubs remain required to comply with all aspects of the system.”What will happen to Man City?MAN CITY began the season as favourites to win the Premier League title yet again – but there is one elephant in the room that threatens to put the skids under the Etihad giants.Sunsport’s MARTIN LIPTON discusses what the next few months could hold with Head of Sport SHAUN CUSTIS….Custis: So the big question – will there be a resolution this season?Lipton: Yes…. probably! It will take at least a month to go through the evidence. So I suspect around March, April time, we will get a result. But that’s where it starts to get tricky.Custis: Why is that?Lipton: If the result is in City’s favour, that’s the end of the matter. They will be cleared. They will have no punishment to face.But if City are found guilty, these will be the heaviest penalties ever imposed by the Premier League.I suspect if they are found guilty, they will be expelled from the league or given a massive points deduction and a huge fine so that they’re not in the Premier League next season.Check out the full discussion on Man City’s future.

      Unai Emery has taken a huge gamble on Marcus Rashford… he must hit ground running to prove he’s not finished at 27

      by

      UNAI EMERY’S judgment of players is about to come under scrutiny like never before.For a man who comes across as cautious, modest and reserved, Emery has blown the lid off his outward persona by swapping Jhon Duran for Marcus Rashford.Marcus Rashford faces crunch time on loan at Aston VillaCredit: Aston VillaVilla chief Unai Emery is taking a risk bringing in RashfordCredit: GettyJhon Duran left Villa for Al-Nassr after being rated as a ‘challenge’Credit: GettyDuran was considered a ‘challenge’ at Villa. A product of his upbringing in Colombia but hard work nonetheless. Turning up late for training; too many tantrums on the pitch.Rashford didn’t even get that far in his final death throes at Manchester United.An outcast elbowed from the squad. Ridiculed by manager Ruben Amorim for an alleged lack of application.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLBut his efforts fighting child poverty suggest his heart is in the right place.On the face of it, Emery appears to have swapped like-for-like at a crucial point in time for him and his employers, and taken a gamble even Villa’s shirt sponsors might baulk at.They face Tottenham in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday, which could see Rashford play for the first time since December 12, after joining on loan until the end of the season.Through to the last 16 of the Champions League, there’s plenty to aim for this season.Most read in FootballRuben Amorim offloaded Rashford after dropping him totallyCredit: GettyJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUSEqually, the demands of fighting on so many fronts has taken its toll in the Premier League.Two points from the last nine has seen Villa slip to eighth.Ruben Amorim admits he and Man Utd players ALL fighting for their jobs between now and the end of the seasonThe goal for the vast majority of managers competing in Europe’s top competition is to qualify again the following year because there’s  little hope of actually winning it.That means Villa need a kick-start in the league.For that, Emery needs a  committed squad that can be relied upon week in, week out.No shirkers, no sulking, no dodgy sicknotes. Otherwise it’s curtains for the boss. Emery had his fingers burnt before trying to manage distracted stars, badly losing the battle with Mesut Ozil while attempting to keep Arsenal on the up following Arsene Wenger’s departure.He inherited that situation but  nevertheless admitted he could not change the moody German, and it played a significant role in Arsenal’s downward slide at the time.So far so good with Rashford. The day after signing on Sunday, he asked to train while his team-mates were off.A cracking start but then it usually is before the expectation kicks in. The next five months are pivotal for Rashford, Emery and Villa’s hopes of ending the season on a high.Rashford has been in mothballs for almost two months. He must hit the ground running and keep his nose clean until May to convince us he is not a busted flush at just 27.Duran was difficult but still racked up 12 goals before Villa turned a £50million-plus profit by flogging him.The direction of travel for Rashford’s market value is up to him but there is so much at stake for his manager to make sure this deal is successful.It is possible to beat the odds and make these daring signings come off.Harry Redknapp risked his reputation by signing Paolo Di Canio for West Ham then made him a club legend.Juventus don’t regret signing Carlos Tevez and winning the Italian league after his soap opera years at  Manchester United and City.The next five months are pivotal for Rashford, Emery and Villa’s hopes of ending the season on a high.Gouing… goneMATHIS AMOUGOU arrived at Chelsea on the back of an eight-year contract and immediately declared his aim to make an impression.The midfielder, 19, gushed: “It’s an honour for me to sign for such a big club as Chelsea.Mathis Amougou might have to buck the trend to succeed at ChelseaCredit: Getty“They believe in young players and the process they have in place for us to develop is fantastic.”That’s probably what Renato Veiga, Carney Chukwuemeka, Deivid Washington, Djordje Petrovic, Cesare Casadei and Diego Moreira among others thought when they signed. Most have come and gone on loan and made little impact.Del so wrongDEREK CHISORA was wrong to label boxing a ‘scumbag’ sport.Mostly the protagonists come from chequered backgrounds but have turned their back on crime and lowlife to become supreme athletes with incredible mental strength.Those with the courage to step into a ring and put their lives on the line are people of bravery and commitment and up with the greats of any sport.Fairway frolicsWHO would have thought golf could be such a ­riotous sport?Organisers of the Phoenix Open in Arizona are taking steps to avoid a repeat of last year’s mayhem when 54 fans were arrested and 300 ejected due to drunken rowdiness.One even leapfrogged the boundary ropes bare-chested and performed ‘snow angels’ in a bunker.Where do I get a ticket?Fan-ning the flamesFRANCE will have boisterous support amongst an English crowd when they most likely win at Twickenham on Saturday.It was the same in Dublin last Saturday when England lost their Six Nations opener to Ireland.Rugby prides itself on rival supporters being able to drink alcohol freely and still mingle in safety. Of course we get the look-down-your-nose comparison to football — where that doesn’t happen.Manchester United versus Rangers is the latest example with the trouble inside Old Trafford being universally condemned.Around 39 fans were arrested at Old TraffordCredit: XBut there has to be a simple acceptance that football has been built on being the most tribal sport in the world. There are some positives to go with that.READ MORE SUN STORIESVisiting fans in the home end simply need to sit down, shut up and take in the game.

      ‘It was so clear for me’ – Ruben Amorim reveals reason he axed Ruud van Nistelrooy from Man Utd coaching staff

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED head coach Ruben Amorim insists he made the right decision by axing Ruud van Nistelrooy from his coaching team.Van Nistelrooy, 48, briefly took charge of the Red Devils on an interim basis following the departure of Erik ten Hag in October.Ruben Amorim insists he made the right decision by axing Ruud van NistelrooyCredit: PAVan Nistelrooy, now Leicester manager, has revealed he knows the Man Utd squad inside outCredit: ReutersHe managed three wins and a draw during his time at the helm before Amorim, 40, took over permanently.However, the Portuguese boss rejected the opportunity to keep Van Nistelrooy on board and instead brought in his own team of staff.The Dutchman was subsequently appointed manager of Premier League strugglers Leicester City.And he will face his former club for the first time in the FA Cup tonight.Read More on Man UtdSpeaking ahead of the fourth round clash, Amorim insisted he was right to let Van Nistelrooy leave United three months ago.He said: “It was not a difficult situation, because it was so clear for me, I just had to explain.”He is a man of football and he understands this situation.

I explained I have my team and I will continue the same way, and I will not put a guy like Ruud, a legend of this club, in the end of the hierarchy in the staff.”So was the clear decision, really simple to explain, and he took it like a class guy as he is.”Meanwhile, Van Nistelrooy has revealed that he knows the Man Utd squad “inside out” – which could give Leicester a huge boost.He said: “I’m glad I don’t have to analyse the Manchester United squad, I’ll leave that to Ruben. We have prepared for them and I know the squad inside out.” More
