David Moyes recently revealed he was close to signing Andy Robertson during his time managing Sunderland, only for the deal to fall through, ultimately leading Robertson to join Liverpool in 2017. Moyes, who previously managed Everton and Manchester United, reflected on his brief season with Sunderland, which ended in relegation despite his intentions to stay. Even in a difficult season, Moyes saw Robertson’s potential and attempted to bring him from Hull City. However, with both clubs battling at the bottom of the league, negotiations stalled, allowing Liverpool to secure Robertson. Since joining the Reds, Robertson has become one of Europe’s top defenders, helping Liverpool capture major trophies and establishing himself as a club mainstay.

Charlie Miller Unveils Secrets Behind Rangers’ Success – and His Direct Line to Clement’s Inner Circle

Charlie Miller, a former Rangers star, believes the club is failing to meet the high standards expected by Ibrox supporters. Reflecting on his own playing days, Miller recalls a Rangers team filled with international talent, but insists it was the core of Scottish players that truly defined the success of the 90s squad. He argues that today’s team, under Philippe Clement, lacks that vital local connection, with only two Scots in the lineup during a recent match against Motherwell. Miller believes the club has missed opportunities by not signing top Scottish talent, like Lewis Ferguson and Andy Robertson, which has contributed to their struggles.

Despite reaching the Premier Sports Cup Final, Miller sees the team’s broader performance as deeply concerning. Rangers sit nine points behind rivals Celtic and Aberdeen, and off-field financial issues have only compounded their troubles. Miller criticizes Clement’s tactics, particularly his decision to substitute one striker for another when the team needed a winning goal. He questions whether the current squad, particularly Cyriel Dessers, can lead Rangers to success. For Miller, the priority should be winning domestic trophies, with Europe only serving as a means to sustain the team, rather than a focus in itself.
