      by

      RANGERS are one of a number of top European sides on transfer alert tonight after former Ibrox hero Ryan Kent agreed a mutual termination of his contract with Turkish giants Fenerbahce. It’s a remarkable turn of events, just 16 months into the money-spinning four year deal which the Gers star agreed with the club in July 2023.Ryan Kent of Fenerbahce in action during a friendly match between Fenerbahce and Hajduk SplitCredit: GettyRyan Kent, RangersCredit: Willie VassAlmost from day one, his place with the Turkish giants has been a source of major intrigue. And he’s sure to have major interest in his future after Fenerbahce released the following statement: “The contract with Ryan Kent, one of the Professional Football A Team players, has been terminated by mutual agreement. “We present it to the public.”It looked certain Kent, who came through Liverpool’s academy, would leave Fenerbahce in January with several clubs credited with an interest.A shock deadline day move to Lazio looked set to happen before it collapsed in the final moments.It emerged that Jose Mourinho had been left unhappy with the 27-year old’s refusal to leave.It was claimed that the player had knocked back an offer from SCOTLAND among multiple offers to leave during the summer window.Offers from England and Saudi Arabia were also reportedly turned down by Kent.Most read in FootballBut agreeing a deal to leave the Turkish giants is set to leave an almighty scramble for the players’ services – with Leeds United just one team who are long-term admirers of the player.That’s despite the fact that as his registration was held by Fenerbahce beyond the closure of the window, he cannot actually play for another club until the next registration window opens in January.Hilarious moment jubilant steward celebrates Ryan Kent’s Rangers goal vs Celtic Kent has never worked under Philippe Clement but his stock remains high amongst the club’s fans, with the Ibrox side’s Belgian boss previously indicating that he was prepared to use the free transfer market.

      Wolves tracking manager dubbed ‘modern day Sir Alex Ferguson’ as pressure mounts on Gary O’Neil

      by

      WOLVES are tracking a man who is being dubbed “a modern day Sir Alex Ferguson”.The Premier League club are considering making a move for Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin, who has stunned Scottish football with the start he’s made at PittodrieAberdeen manager Jimmy ThelinCredit: SNSThe Swedish manager has won ALL 13 of his matches at Aberdeen – prompting comparisons with Sir Alex who rose to fame as Aberdeen manager before moving to Manchester United.Wolves’ interest in Thelin comes as the future of manager Gary O’Neil remains increasingly uncertain.After their defeat to Brentford at the weekend, O’Neil admitted he wasn’t sure what would happen to his job.SunSport understands that O’Neil will be given time to see how he performs during a more favourable run of fixtures.READ MORE IN football But they could be forced to make a change if the club’s fortunes don’t turn around.David Moyes has also been suggested as a potential replacement. His Premier League experience may tip the balance in his favour, but it’s unclear if Moyes would be willing to sign-up to a relegation scrap.Aberdeen fans would be devastated to see Thelin go. Despite his loyalties, even Ally McCoist has lavished praise on the Aberdeen manager for his impressive start in Scottish football.Most read in FootballWho is Jimmy Thelin? By Jack Figg Jimmy Thelin is making waves in Scottish football for his stunning unbeaten start with Aberdeen – but who is he? The Swede had an eight-year professional playing career – all with IF Haga which ended in 2003. After two years he moved straight into coaching with FC Ljungarum. Thelin then joined Jonkopings Sodra IF to manage their youth side before being promoted to the first-team. He then rose to prominence in European football after taking over at Elfsborg in 2018. After six years, Thelin then moved to Aberdeen on a three-year deal and started his tenure with 13 unbeaten matches. His start to life in Scotland has seen him draw comparisons to legendary Man Utd boss Sir Alex Ferguson – who also got his start at Aberdeen. Now Premier League sides like Wolves are starting to take notice of Thelin. CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSThe Dons kept up with Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership after a thrilling 3-2 victory over struggling Hearts, thanks to Ante Palaversa’s late goal against managerless Jambos.This result sees Aberdeen and Celtic neck-and-neck at the top of the Premiership, both with maximum points.Boy Wonders: Meet Wes Okoduwa, the Wolves teenager already linked to Man Utd and ChelseaWith Thelin’s streak of 13 wins from 13 in all competitions, McCoist’s beloved Rangers are trailing by five points in the title race.The Swedish manager will face the ultimate test of their title credentials when he leads Aberdeen to Celtic Park to challenge Brendan Rodgers’ defending champions on their home ground after the international break.McCoist last week admitted he has been impressed with the rising Reds, acknowledging that Thelin has done a “great job” since taking over at Pittodrie last summer.

      Ex-Rangers star Duncan Ferguson reveals he’s working for FREE at Inverness and says ‘I’ll try to put food on the table’

      by

      DUNCAN FERGUSON is to work for free at crisis club Caley Thistle after volunteering to give up his wage to help save the club.The Everton legend made the remarkable gesture just over a month after accepting a 40 per cent salary cut.Duncan Ferguson is working for free at InvernessCredit: Kenny RamsayHis remaining £1200-a-week wages, originally £3000-a-week when he was lured north, will go towards the £200,000 Caley Jags say they must raise this month to stave off the immediate threat of administration.Ferguson was talking while the Inverness board was meeting upstairs to discuss the scale of the latest financial threat to the 2015 Scottish Cup winners and former Premiership outfit’s future.The 52-year-old former Dundee United, Rangers, Everton and Newcastle striker, appointed late last September, said: “I’ve given up my wage to try and help the club. I’m now working for nothing.“That’s by the by, it’s my own decision to try and help the club get through all this.“The players are worried, yes. They have contracts to fall upon, but it is the people around about the stadium, the staff, everyone’s jobs are on the line.“I think you know since I’ve been here I’ve taken cuts and reductions.“Now, when I realised the position the club is in, in needing to raise £200,000 this month, I decided I don’t need to get paid my wage.“I’ll work for nothing just now to try and help them through this. The plight of the staff was in my mind. It always is.Most read in FootballCeltic legend Scott Brown as you’ve never seen him before as he opens up on his management career, Rodgers, Lennon.. and Walter Smith“I like to think I’m a caring person and I like to look after my staff and people around about me.“At the moment, I’ll get through as best I can and try to keep putting petrol in my car and food on the table.”Ferguson was offered £3k a week by past CEO Scot Gardiner after the sacking of predecessor Billy Dodds.He revealed just over a month ago that the wage was quickly reduced to £2k a week, before taking another 40 per cent cut in late August.Caley Thistle highlighted the renewed threat of administration in a letter to shareholders made public on Wednesday.Ferguson added: “It was a decision I took last night when we got the message coming through about the £200,000 the club needed.“I felt it would be appropriate for myself to offer my wage into that pot. They can look for a bit less than £200,000 now.“That will continue. I’ll give my wage to try and help the club.“Hopefully that helps.“I’m not going to ask anyone else to do what I’ve done. It is each to their own.“I’ve done my bit and I’ll continue to do my bit for the football club. Everyone who knows me knows that.“I’ll do it as long as is needed before the people at the club come up with some money to save the club.“Obviously, I can’t go without a wage forever and ever, because I need to put food on the table myself.“But at the moment it is needs must – I’m making sacrifices.“I think the club were happy with the decision, but I just think it is the right thing to do. It’s a personal choice.“It’s not an easy time for the club and I’ve made the decision.“Everyone knows I’ve enjoyed my time here, enjoyed the city.“I keep telling people that. I like Inverness and rarely go back down the road, down south.“It is a great club, a great fan-base and they’ve always been good to me, but I care about my players and the staff around about me.“I’ll always fight for them and that’s why I do this.”New Inverness chairman Alan SavageCredit: KEN MACPHERSONCaley Thistle have struggled to hit the back of the net this season, netting just six goals in eight league games.Six draws and a solitary win in that sequence has cast doubt on their initial status as title favourites, but Ferguson remains confident a challenge can be mounted.Administration would see the club docked 15 points, and that is also in his mind as he strives to turn draws into wins.The arrival of Charlie Reilly on loan from Dundee has added to his confidence that can be done.Ferguson said: “Charlie, we believe, can be a great signing. He is very direct and can score goals.“We have good players here and we’ll keep working hard to get those victoriers that will lift the whole place.“Am I a fighter? I think my past record proves that – on and off the field!“I’ll soldier on and keep doing it for the club.“We’ve just got to get results, haven’t we? We have a very young squad and with the financial implications you’re concerned for the staff.“I’m just going to go on, keep fighting and try to support the staff and players, everyone at the club.“If administration comes, every point counts.“We need to get more points on the board and should have more.“If it does go into administration, hopefully we can survive (in League One) as we have good players through there.”READ MORE SUN STORIESOur New YouTube ChannelSubscribe to our new Scottish Sun Sport YouTube channel for all the latest football news, views and amazing moments.We’ve got every major development covered from Celtic, Rangers, Hearts, Hibs, Aberdeen and the rest of the Scottish Premiership.Plus we have TWO brilliant new podcasts to watch every week…MONDAYGo Ballistic with Roger Hannah and special guest Kris Boyd will dissect all the weekend action and deliver their no-holds-barred reaction.WEDNESDAYRobert Grieve and Bill Leckie chew over the tastiest topics in Scottish football and offer their unique takes in their Coffee Club.FRIDAYGo Ballistic is back with Roger Hannah and top tipster Jim Delahunt looking ahead to the weekend games and analysing the biggest talking points.Subscribe now and don’t miss a thing.

      Rangers Europa League clash intel has Malmo safety chief on security alert as rival fans pose risk ‘in negative way’

      by

      MALMO security chiefs have expressed fears over fan trouble at their Europa League opener against Rangers.They have dubbed the game a ‘high-risk’ fixture – and are concerned visiting fans could link-up with, or even be infiltrated by, Swedish rivals.Malmo are preparing for around 2,000 Rangers fans to travelCredit: SNSThe visitors will be housed in this corner of the Eleda StadionFormer Celtic winger Sead Haksabanovic is now in the Swedish squadCredit: AlamyGers are due to take up around 2,000 of the Eleda Stadion for the 5.15pm kick-off.But officials at Malmo, where ex-Ger Filip Helander is a club favourite and ex-Celtic winger Sead Haksabanovic is in the first-team, are worried about the clash.They fear Helsingborg fans may pile in amongst the crowd and “present themselves in a negative way”.Malmo head of security Peter Narbe has claimed Helsingborgs have links to Rangers and could attend the game leading to a security headache.Speaking to Sydsvenskan, the Swedish safety chief said: “We know there’s a ‘friendship’ there. We are aware of that.“It is likely that there will be HIF supporters who bought tickets in the home section. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re behaving badly; it’s important to point out.”However he added: “There may be a risk that they want to present themselves in a negative way.”Malmo’s main football rivals are IFK Gothenburg but neighbours Helsingborgs are also old foes in the Skanederby – in the Scania region of Sweden.Most read in FootballTrouble flared between the two sets of supporters before a derby two years ago, leading to ugly scenes of running battles on the Helsingborg streets.Ross McCormack on borrowing Michael Mols’ boots for his Rangers debutMalmo have already stoked up the Europa clash by poking fun at their two previous meetings with the Gers saying ‘we’ve missed you’.Their social media video revisited their previous two encounters this century – in 2011-12 before Rangers were plunged into the fourth tier as a result of their financial woes.They also met three seasons ago when Antonio Colak put Steven Gerrard’s side to the sword – the manager left two months later, but under Giovanni van Bronckhorst Rangers reached the Europa League Final.Jon Dahl Tomasson also tried to rile up Rangers by claiming Gers needed the money at the time.Swedes v ScotsRANGERS must make history on Thursday night if they are to get their Europa League group campaign off to the perfect start.by Roger HannahGers have NEVER beaten the Swedes in four previous meetings – and have suffered three damaging defeats to them.Here, SunSport looks back on those games as Philippe Clement prepares to take his squad to Scandinavia for the opener on Thursday evening.Rangers 0 Malmo 1Champions League qualifier – July 26, 2011ALLY McCOIST’S champions suffered a shock home defeat as Daniel Larsson hit the only goal in the first-half at Ibrox.New boss McCoist, who had stepped up to succeed Walter Smith, stuck with the stars who had won the title at Rugby Park just two months earlier.But the loss of captain David Weir to injury shortly after Larsson’s goal was another blow and Gers couldn’t equalise.Malmo 1 Rangers 1Champions League qualifier – August 3, 2011NINE-MAN Gers were dumped out of the Champions League by Malmo in a bad-tempered encounter in Sweden.Nikica Jelavic’s goal had levelled the tie in the 23rd minute but red cards for Steven Whittaker and Madjid Bougherra hit McCoist’s side.The Swedes were reduced to ten men when Ferreira Ricardinho saw red but an 80th minute goal from Jiloan Hamad put the tie out of reach.Malmo 2 Rangers 1Champions League qualifier – August 3, 2021EXACTLY a decade after Gers’ elimination in Sweden, they returned to Malmo and suffered another damaging result.Soren Rieks and Veljko Birmancevic scored two goals in two minutes after the break as Steven Gerrard’s side wobbled.Steven Davis scored in injury-time to give Gers hope for the second leg at Ibrox – but more woe awaited them just days later.Rangers 1 Malmo 2Champions League qualifier – August 10, 2021ALFREDO MORELOS cancelled out Malmo’s first-leg after just 18 minutes and Gers fans believed they were on the way to victory.That feeling was fuelled when Malmo’s Bonke Innocent was sent-off in first-half stoppage time with the tie balanced on a knife-edge.But Gers collapsed in the second half and Croatian striker Antonio Colak – who would later sign for Gers – scored twice inside four minutes to send the Swedes through 4-2 on aggregate.He famously said, with a wry smirk: “Is the pressure on us or them?”Don’t you think that they need the Champions League’s money here?
