Report: Real Madrid have joined the race to sign £25m Newcastle top target
According to reports from Spanish outlet Defensa Central, Spanish giants Real Madrid have joined the race to sign Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard in the summer transfer window.

Sky Sports pundit suggests Rangers should move for PL midfielder who is in ‘peak of his career’
Former Ibrox hero Kris Boyd has suggested that Glasgow Rangers should move for Norwich City midfielder Kenny McLean in the summer transfer window. The Gers finished second in the 2019-20 season after the league was called off due to the global health crisis. Celtic became the SPFL champions for the ninth time in a row. The popular Sky Sports pundit feels that Rangers need to add extra bit of quality to prevent Celtic from winning ten league titles in a row. Boyd believes that Steven Gerrard’s side should make an attempt to persuade Norwich to part with McLean in the summer transfer window. Norwich are in real danger of getting relegated from the Premier League this season, and the Canaries are expected to lose some of their key players. Boyd wrote in The Scottish Sun: “Maybe ther...
Chris Sutton shares his best nine-in-a-row starting Xl
Celtic wrapped up nine-in-a-row earlier this week after the Scottish Premiership season was ended on a points-per-game basis. The campaign still had eight games left prior to the suspension of football in March due to the coronavirus pandemic, with the Hoops 13 points at the top of the table. The SPFL wasn’t able to come up with a way to play the remaining games, hence their decision to bring the campaign to a conclusion. Celtic will now look to make it 10-in-a-row next term, but their ninth consecutive title wouldn’t have been possible without some quality players over the past nine campaigns, and Hoops legend Chris Sutton has decided to pay a tribute to the best of the bunch, picking his best nine-in-a-row starting XI. My best 9-in-a-row Xl… who would be in yours??🍀#9inarowXl htt...

Report: Gerrard hopes to beat Hammers to striker’s signature a yr after Liverpool links
According to The Scottish Sun, Rangers are hoping to beat several English Premier League sides to the signature of West Bromwich Albion striker Rayhaan Tulloch this summer as manager Steven Gerrard looks to stop Celtic’s 10-in-a-row bid.
