Japan? Something like that. Continue reading...

Röhl expected to join RB SalzburgMcInnes turned down chance to manage Rangers in 2017Rangers are likely to move for the Hearts manager, Derek McInnes, if Danny Röhl completes a move to RB Salzburg. The Ibrox club and Salzburg are in talks over a deal for Röhl, who was appointed by Rangers last October. The 37-year-old began his coaching career elsewhere in the RB stable, at Leipzig. There is a rising sense in Glasgow that he will accept Salzburg’s overtures, with a switch likely to happen within days.In that scenario, Rangers are expected to turn towards McInnes. The former Rangers player guided Hearts to second place in Scotland’s Premiership this season, with the Edinburgh club losing out on what would have been their first title since 1960 on the final day of the season, after defeat at Celtic Park. McInnes took over at Hearts after leaving Kilmarnock in the summer of 2025. He was Scotland’s manager of the year within 12 months. Continue reading...
Charity worker’s unsparing book explains how the game created support networks and ‘beautiful friendships’The Bishopton Ladies goalkeeper and Street Soccer charity coordinator Sarah Rhind is emphatic about how integral football has been to her survival. “I can wholeheartedly say that without it I wouldn’t be in the position that I’m in now – if I was even lucky enough to still be here,” she says. “There’s been different times in my life where football showed up and was really a platform that saved me.”The 42-year-old is speaking in Glasgow after the publication of her autobiography, Scars Under The Jersey.
