Rangers defender Nathan Patterson put on a splendid display for Scotland last night against Moldova and the 19-year-old’s performance has attracted a lot of praise on social media. The young full-back is rated highly at the Scottish club and he showed his tremendous potential for his country last night. Patterson was heavily linked with a move to the Premier League during the summer transfer window with Everton keen on signing him. However, Rangers did well to hold onto him and it could prove to be a superb decision in the long run. The 19-year-old has the potential to develop into a top-class player for club and country and it will be interesting to see if he can hold down a regular starting berth the season. Club captain James Tavernier has done a good job in the right-back role but Stev...
Sweden picked up a stunning 2-1 win over Spain in the World Cup qualifiers last night. Goals from Alexander Isak and Viktor Claesson sealed a morale-boosting win for the Swedish national team. Carlos Soler handed his side a dream start with an early goal but Spain struggled to control the game from thereon. Luis Enrique will be thoroughly disappointed with the performance of his players in a game they should be winning. The Spanish national team will have to cut out their defensive frailties if they want to do well in the World Cup next year and the defeat against Sweden last night will come as a timely wake-up call for them. Both teams had a reasonable number of chances to score but Sweden were better organised at the back and they managed to grind out a narrow win in the end. Rangers def...

The 39-year-old is a free agent following the expiration of his contract with Chelsea, and the Scottish Premiership defending champions are looking to bring him to Ibrox. Sheffield United are also interested in Caballero as they want the former Manchester City man to replace Aaron Ramsdale after he joined Arsenal.

Rangers take on Alashkert FC in the second leg of the Europa League qualifiers later today and will be hoping to get the job done away from home. Steven Gerrard’s men secured a 1-0 win in the first leg and are firm favourites to progress to the group stage. However, the Scottish outfit are currently without several key players because of a COVID-19 outbreak. Goalkeepers Allan McGregor and Jon McLaughlin, captain James Tavernier, left-back Calvin Bassey, attacking midfielder Scott Wright and winger Ryan Kent have been unable to travel. John Lundstram and Kemar Roofe are suspended, but Glen Kamara will be available after serving his suspension.

Liverpool are keeping a keen interest in Rangers right-back and Everton target Nathan Patterson, according to The Scottish Sun. The Toffees manager Rafa Benitez wants the 19-year-old at Goodison Park, and his side have already tabled a £5 million bid which has since been knocked back. However, Liverpool have been tracking the two-time Scotland international since the start of the year and are keeping tabs on his development. Sportslens View The Reds currently have Trent Alexander-Arnold and Neco Williams as options at right-back, while utility man James Milner can also play in the position. On that basis, an immediate move for Patterson does not look to be on the cards, which gives Everton a chance. The Toffees want the Rangers academy graduate this summer, having identified him as a long-...
Rangers picked up a 4-2 win over Ross County in the Scottish Premiership yesterday. Goals from Joe Aribo, Connor Goldson, Alfredo Morelos and Scott Arfield sealed a much-needed win for the defending champions. Rangers needed to pick up the three points after their recent run of form. They were beaten in the last league game and were dumped out of the Champions league by Malmo. Yesterday’s win will give the Ibrox giants a much-needed confidence boost and they will be looking to put together a winning run now. Steven Gerrard will be reasonably pleased with the performance of his players against the Staggies. Joe Aribo in particular produced an impressive display at the heart of Rangers midfield. The 25-year-old Rangers star was given the licence to venture forward and influence the game in t...
Everton have reportedly submitted an offer to sign Rangers right-back Nathan Patterson, according to The Athletic. The highly-rated 19-year-old has been outstanding for the Gers when he has deputised for captain James Tavernier. Patterson is immensely talented and undoubtedly has a big future ahead of him. A move to Everton could accelerate his development, with manager Rafael Benitez renowned for getting the best out of defenders. Everton’s need for a quality right-back is no secret, with Seamus Coleman now in the latter stages of his career. The Toffees were linked with a move for Denzel Dumfries this summer but failed to sign the Dutch international. Patterson could prove to be a superb long term investment for Everton, although Rangers are under no pressure to cash in on thei...
Leeds United could secure themselves a real steal by signing Rangers attacker Ryan Kent for just £20 million this summer. The Whites allegedly want to sign the Gers winger (GiveMeSport). The 24-year-old has a release clause of £20 million inserted into his contract, according to The Athletic. While that seems a lot of money to pay for a player from the Scottish Premiership, it actually would be great value for Leeds. Marcelo Bielsa could do with adding more variety to his attacking options, and the former Liverpool man could be just the man for the job.
