Mikey Moore lleva tiempo considerándose uno de los jóvenes talentos más prometedores del fútbol británico, y Andy Gray explica a GOAL por qué el Rangers podría seguir beneficiándose del impresionante desarrollo de este jugador de 18 años. El joven creador de juego está vinculado al Tottenham, uno de los grandes de la Premier League, pero ha disfrutado de una cesión muy productiva en Ibrox y podría negociarse una prórroga de ese acuerdo para la temporada 2026-27.
Kasper Schmeichel, todo un icono del Leicester City, se ha sincerado sobre la devastadora realidad de una lesión en el hombro que podría suponer el final de su carrera como futbolista profesional. El portero del Celtic, de 39 años, se enfrenta a un año agotador fuera de los terrenos de juego tras recibir un diagnóstico médico que ha calificado de duro golpe.
Robbie Keane se ha convertido en el principal candidato para tomar las riendas del Celtic este verano, mientras el club se prepara para una importante reestructuración. Tras el paso interino de Martin O'Neill, el héroe del Tottenham y de la República de Irlanda es considerado la figura perfecta para liderar una nueva era en Parkhead. El gigante de Glasgow espera que la experiencia de Keane como entrenador pueda estabilizar al club tras un período turbulento.
Gordon Strachan ha explicado a GOAL lo que se necesita para ser entrenador del Old Firm, y el exentrenador del Celtic admite que «tu vida entera se desmorona». Se necesita un carácter especial para soportar esa presión en Glasgow, en Parkhead o en Ibrox, y Martin O'Neill, a sus 74 años, demuestra que sigue estando a la altura cuando se trata de desempeñar los puestos más exigentes.
El entrenador del Celtic, Martin O'Neill, ha expresado su profunda preocupación por que el emblemático ambiente del derbi Old Firm pueda «perderse» tras las caóticas escenas que empañaron el final de los cuartos de final de la Copa de Escocia del domingo. Los Hoops se aseguraron una dramática victoria en la tanda de penaltis sobre el Rangers en Ibrox, pero el triunfo se vio ensombrecido por una importante invasión del campo. La policía ya ha confirmado que se han producido nueve detenciones tras los disturbios, y se esperan más en los próximos días.
