This evening, Rangers and Celtic are both gearing up for significant matches in the Premiership. Rangers, currently third in the league, face a crucial away game against second-placed Aberdeen, where a win could alleviate some pressure on manager Philippe Clement. Conversely, Celtic aims to extend their lead at the top of the league as they host Dundee.

In the lead-up to these matches, former Celtic striker Moussa Dembele has once again expressed his love for the club, reminiscing about his remarkable hat-trick in a 5-1 victory over Rangers, which he cites as the highlight of his career. Now playing for Al Ettifaq and valued at €12 million, Dembele reflected on his unexpected journey to Scotland and his lasting connection to Celtic, stating, “I’m still a big fan of Celtic and keep following the club every game.”

Meanwhile, Ally McCoist found himself in the spotlight during a discussion about Manchester United’s recent struggles following the sacking of Erik Ten Hag. McCoist had previously made comments regarding how long it might take for United to reclaim their title glory, leading to a humorous exchange with TalkSPORT host Jeff Stelling, who quipped that it could be just as long before Rangers win their next title. The light-hearted banter underscored the competitive spirit between the two clubs.

Last weekend, Watford faced a challenging situation regarding their penalty taker during the match against Blackburn Rovers. With their first-choice option, Tom Dele-Bashiru, unavailable due to injury, manager Tom Cleverley had to quickly adapt. After a tense moment leading up to the penalty, midfielder Edo Kayembe stepped up and scored the decisive goal, securing a 1-0 victory for the Hornets. Cleverley praised the leadership shown by Moussa, who took the initiative to consult him about who should take the penalty. Although Cleverley aimed to assign the responsibility to one of their most confident players, Kayembe ultimately delivered under pressure, showcasing his composure in a critical moment.

In other news, Sunderland is looking forward to the potential return of teenage striker Eliezer Mayenda, who may make his first appearance since September when they face QPR. After missing six league games due to injury, Mayenda’s presence in training this week suggests he is ready to rejoin the squad. His return could be a significant boost for Sunderland, especially after his promising start to the season, which included a standout performance where he scored twice in a 4-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday.

Stoke City Poised to Reap Rewards from Brighton’s Bold Transfer Gamble

24/10/2024 Raymond 0

Stoke City’s pursuit of Andrew Moran was not a new development this summer. TeamTalk had previously reported that they were leading contenders to secure his loan for the 2023/24 season, despite competition from Blackburn Rovers. However, Blackburn seemed to gain the upper hand, and Moran ended up joining the Ewood Park club in the final week of the transfer window.

During his loan spell at Blackburn, Moran made a strong impression, particularly in the first four months, although his form did decline in the latter half of the season. As a result, it wasn’t surprising that Brighton were willing to allow him to go out on loan again this summer. Multiple Championship clubs showed interest in securing his services, but reports indicated that Stoke and recent rivals Bristol City were leading the chase for the midfielder.

In mid-August, Stoke successfully acquired Moran after he signed a new long-term contract with Brighton. The Potters must be pleased to have convinced the Seagulls that the bet365 Stadium was the ideal environment for him to continue his development. So far, it appears to be a wise decision, as the 21-year-old is settling in well in the Potteries and is likely on the verge of receiving a second senior international call-up soon.
