Under Michael Beale so far, Glasgow Rangers have lost just one match, and it was arguably the most important game – the Scottish League Cup final.

That loss against Celtic has been his only blemish so far and when the Ibrox side travel across the city this afternoon to get revenge, they must play better than they did back in February.

The Light Blues secured a fairly comfortable 2-0 win over Dundee United last weekend, yet they still sit nine points behind their Old Firm rivals heading into the third derby clash of the Premiership season today. A win is paramount if they have any ambitions of making a sensational comeback to claim league glory.

Beale might only make one or two changes at most from the United match, and the Englishman must unleash the dynamic duo of Malik Tillman and Todd Cantwell against the Parkhead outfit as they represent the teams best attacking options against a defence that has conceded just 21 goals all season.

Will Malik Tillman and Todd Cantwell both start for Rangers?

The pair were in splendid form against United last weekend, with the £25k-per-week Cantwell proving a lovely assist to the American to opening the scoring and this led to Rangers Review journalist Joshua Barrie to state that pair “linked expertly” for the goal.

The English midfielder produced a “moment of real quality” to slide the ball through to Tillman for his first goal of the afternoon, and it looked as though the partnership is already beginning to bear fruit.

Beale spoke prior to that match that Cantwell’s “really good relationship” with the £13k-per-week star would be pivotal going forward, and they can definitely harm Celtic if both are unleashed.

Since arriving on a season long loan from Bayern Munich last summer, Tillman has grown into a wonderful player despite initially struggling with the physicality of the Scottish game and his attacking capabilities have led to many of the Ibrox faithful calling for Ross Wilson to shell out the reported £5m it will take to sign him permanently.

He has scored 12 goals and grabbed five assists across 39 matches and these figures could improve should the Gers sign him for next season.

The thought of a Tillman and Cantwell partnership for the future is one sure to provide much excitement amongst the supporters, and if Beale unleashes the duo against Celtic this afternoon, then they could run riot and cause chaos to their defence.

Leeds United correspondent Phil Hay has been reacting to another update involving the Whites and former forward Jean-Kevin Augustin.

What’s the latest news on Leeds and Augustin?

Augustin made the move to Elland Road back in January 2020 from RB Leipzig on loan with a view to a permanent transfer if Leeds won promotion to the Premier League under Marcelo Bielsa.

As we know, the Whites did eventually win the Championship in what was a pandemic-delayed season, although Augustin only featured in 48 minutes of action for the club.

What happened after that turned into a lengthy transfer saga, with Leeds eventually losing their Court of Arbitration case and being ordered to pay Leipzig £18m. The two clubs eventually reached a settlement over the transfer back in December, but a new update has now come to light.

The Athletic’s David Ornstein revealed on Monday evening that FIFA have ordered Leeds to pay Augustin £24.5m for a breach of contract. The club have once again lodged an appeal, and Hay described it on Twitter as "another punishing development".

“Away this week but here from David Ornstein, another punishing development in the Jean-Kevin Augustin case. Leeds have appealed but they are on the hook for £24.5m due to Augustin, on top of the £15.5m settlement with RB Leipzig”

Will Augustin go down as Leeds’ worst-ever signing?

After this update, there is a serious argument that could easily go down as the club’s worst-ever addition. As James Marshment states, the striker could potentially end up costing an incredible £816,326 for every minute of competitive action he played for the Whites, whereas LUFCDATA breaks it down even further at £2.86m per touch of the ball.

In total, Leeds could be paying in the region of £40m for a player they hardly used, with the French forward, now 25, currently on the books with Swiss side FC Basel, where he has contributed to five goals in 18 appearances.

There could well be another lengthy process when it comes to an appeal over this decision, but if CAS previously ruled that Leeds needed to pay Leipzig for the transfer of the forward, then surely Augustin is entitled to his contract as a permanent Leeds player.

Andrea Radrizzani, the 49ers Enterprises and Victor Orta will be hoping the club can somehow work something out to prevent that from happening – making this one to keep an eye on once more.

Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins was hailed by the media for a "sensational" performance against Newcastle United in the Premier League this afternoon.

What was the Aston Villa vs Newcastle result?

Villa secured their fifth Premier League win on the spin, courtesy of a 3-0 victory against Newcastle at Villa Park, with Jacob Ramsey and Ollie Watkins getting on the scoresheet, in what was yet another fantastic performance.

The result sees the Villans remain sixth in the table, still faring well in their pursuit of European football, and Watkins was singled out for a particularly impressive display.

Journalist Raj Chohan took to Twitter during the match to say: "Watkins wow, this is a prime Mandzukić type of performance. Hold-up play sensational, aerial threat & running Newcastle ragged in the wide channels."

Football writer Jordan Cronin was also full of praise for the striker, claiming he "caused absolute mayhem" for the Newcastle backline during the first half.

How did Ollie Watkins play against Newcastle?

The striker was a real live wire in the opening 45 minutes, hitting the post inside the opening 30 seconds of the game after outpacing the Newcastle defence, in what was a sign of things to come for the rest of the game.

The 27-year-old set up Ramsey's opener after picking the winger out inside the area, before having a goal disallowed for a very marginal offside just after the hour mark.

However, the Englishman did not have to wait long for a much-deserved goal, scoring minutes later, for what was the 11th time since returning from the international break, with no player in the Premier League being involved in more goals during that period.

Villa have managed to put themselves in a decent position to qualify for Europe next season, and if Watkins continues to play at his current level, achieving a remarkable 9.0 Sofascore rating this afternoon, they have a very strong chance of securing a top-six finish.

Journalist Alasdair Gold has claimed that Julian Nagelsmann isn't "particularly interested" in the Tottenham Hotspur manager job despite the club's interest.

What is the latest on Julian Nagelsmann and Spurs?

It's certainly hard to predict who exactly is going to be the next big managerial appointment in the Premier League with a few teams looking for a new head coach.

Indeed, alongside Spurs, London rivals Chelsea are in also trying to find a new individual to guide them to success. Interestingly enough, the Blues were in the race for 35-year-old Nagelsmann but it seems he's no longer an option.

Despite the German being ruled out of that job, he has been on Tottenham's radar for some time now and it seems as though the north London outfit are keen on him.

However, when talking about the coach on his YouTube channel, Gold revealed that he's not heard anything to suggest Nagelsmann is keen on the job.

He explained: "Julian Nagelsmann has apparently pulled out the Chelsea race, which is an interesting one, because obviously he's someone of great interest to Spurs and they've kind of looked at him twice in the past before.

"But I've never got the sense – or I haven't got the sense, certainly in recent weeks – of anyone I've spoken to that knows him or has been in on the situation of having that sense that he's particularly interested in the Spurs job right now."

Will Nagelsmann want to join Spurs?

To be fair, if Nagelsmann doesn't want the Chelsea job, there's no immediately obvious reason he'd prefer to go to Tottenham. After all, a collection of fine managers have gone there – such as Mauricio Pochettino, Andre Villas-Boas, Jose Mourinho, and Antonio Conte – only to leave without lifting a trophy.

Still, it does look as though Spurs will finish comfortably above the Blues in the league and may even have Champions League football to offer.

What's more, the club are also currently without a sporting director after Fabio Paratici resigned having just lost his appeal in Italy to try and overturn his 30-month ban from the game.

With that being the case, perhaps Nagelsmann will wait until the summer to see where Tottenham finish and who is going to be in charge of some of the big decisions upstairs, before making a final call on his decision.

For the time being, though, it doesn't sound as though he's desperate to let Daniel Levy and co know he wants to get on board with their next project in north London.

Arsenal could 'test the resolve' of West Ham United by submitting a 'big bid' to try and secure the services of Declan Rice this summer, according to journalist Dharmesh Sheth.

What's the latest transfer news involving Declan Rice?

As per Football Insider, Arsenal are said to be 'increasingly confident' regarding the prospect of being able to land Rice this summer and believe they will 'win the race' amid rival interest from Chelsea.

The report also states that West Ham will demand £100 million before agreeing to sanction any potential departure for the England international, who has already expressed his desire to leave the London Stadium in the upcoming off-season.

Furthermore, The Telegraph has revealed that Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has Rice on a shortlist of potential midfield additions alongside Brighton & Hove Albion enforcer Moises Caicedo and Chelsea ace Mason Mount, with the Spaniard looking to recruit 'at least one high-class midfielder' ahead of next term.

Rice is seen as a 'top target' in north London; however, West Ham boss David Moyes has previously indicated that it could cost a British record transfer fee to part ways with his prize asset.

Capology understand that the 24-year-old earns £60,000 per week on his current contract at the Hammers, which is set to run until 2024.

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, journalist Sheth believes that Arsenal will be 'seriously interested' in signing Rice in the summer transfer window.

Sheth told GMS: "We know that Arsenal want to bring in a central midfielder and we know that Declan Rice is someone that they are very, very seriously interested in.

"So you'd expect them to go back in and test the resolve of West Ham United with a big bid and see if they can bring someone like him to the football club.

"Would he have improved them previously? Yes, but I think it's by the by because I don't think it would have been a realistic option for them to sign him in either of the last two transfer windows.”

Would Declan Rice be a good signing for Arsenal?

Rice is seen as one of the most talented midfielders in the Premier League and could feasibly add another dimension to Arsenal's engine room if Arteta was to bring him to the Emirates this summer.

The 24-year-old has been a shining light in an underwhelming campaign for West Ham, earning an average rating of 7.03/10 for his exploits on the pitch, making him their most consistent performer in 2022/23, according to WhoScored.

FBRef also show that Rice has successfully performed 100 shot-creating actions in all competitions this term, illustrating his ingenuity in laying on chances for his teammates, which sometimes goes under the radar due to his other distinguishable qualities.

Unsurprisingly, interest will be high in Rice and he would be a statement signing for Arsenal as they prepare to return to the Champions League for the first time since 2016/17 next term.

Tottenham Hotspur are "pushing" to appoint Julian Nagelsmann as their new manager, and they are scheduled to hold "more talks" with the former Bayern Munich boss, according to Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg.

What's the latest Tottenham manager news?

Tottenham are set to have a meeting with Sporting CP boss Ruben Amorim about the vacancy at N17, as the club begin to step up their pursuit of a new manager, with a number of options being considered by chairman Daniel Levy.

Spurs are also said to have made an approach for Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi, although it is unclear whether he is interested in a move to north London, while Michael Carrick is also under consideration, after an impressive season with Middlesbrough.

Journalist Alasdair Gold has recently confirmed the Lilywhites have made contact with Nagelsmann, with reports elsewhere indicating he would be keen on the job, which is corroborated by the latest update from Plettenberg.

Taking to Twitter, the Sky Sports journalist confirmed that Levy is "pushing more and more" for the German, who views Tottenham as a "serious option" due to the fact they are a "big club" with "big potential."

However, one potential stumbling block is that the 35-year-old wants to know how much of a say he will have in the club's transfers, while it is also unclear who will be the new managing director of football after Fabio Paratici.

"More talks" are set to take place with the young manager, but he wants to take his time before making a final decision.

Should Tottenham appoint Julian Nagelsmann?

The most exciting aspect of appointing the former RB Leipzig boss is the style of play he would implement at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with journalist Raj Chohan lauding him as an "unreal attacking coach" earlier this season.

Journalist Zach Lowy has also described the tactician as "progressive", which would make him a perfect fit for Spurs, given that Levy is said to be seeking a young, progressive manager who understands the club's philosophy.

Although his time at Bayern did not end the way he would have liked, the Landsberg am Lech-born coach can still be proud of what he achieved during his time with the Bavarian club, winning the Bundesliga title, and leading them to the Champions League quarter-finals.

That experience would stand Nagelsmann in good stead if he were to take over at Tottenham, and we believe he would be a very exciting appointment.

Journalist Jacques Talbot has claimed that West Ham United have already triggered a contract extension for Aaron Cresswell.

What's the latest on Aaron Cresswell and his contract?

As per Transfermarkt, the defender's current deal is set to expire in the summer, June 2023. And recent reports suggest a deal could be in the works.

Indeed, as per Football Insider, sources in late April claimed Cresswell was close to landing a new contract at the London Stadium. The club will green-light an extension if David Moyes remains in charge.

Well, if the latest reporting is accurate, it seems this has already happened. Indeed, when talking on his YouTube channel, Talbot explained that it had been "triggered".

He said (3:33): “So I got a message about Aaron Cresswell: 'He is joining Everton at the end of the season'.

"I was like, Oh yeah?

"Like: 'He's bought a house up in Merseyside, he's going back.'

“But it's just one of them where you go to West Ham and they're like, 'No we've done a new deal to [20]24'.

"I don't even know if that's even out yet. But basically, they've triggered the extension for him.”

How much is Cresswell's contract worth?

Seeing as there is less doubt about Moyes leaving now – as the club look certain to avoid relegation and have gone deep into the Europa Conference League – it would make sense if one of his preferred players was to stick around a little longer.

After all, while now aged 33, Cresswell has still played regularly for the Hammers this term, with 35 appearances in all competitions.

Indeed Moyes has trusted him at the vital point in the club's campaign, starting the left-back in seven of the last eight league games as West Ham have got themselves out of relegation trouble.

With that being the case, it's easy to understand why the club have apparently extended his £50k-p/w contract for one more year.

With 28-year-old Emerson Palmieri also available as an option for the left-back role (with a contract until 2026), the extension for Cresswell mean's the club are pretty set in that area of the field.

Perhaps that sort of deal will allow the Irons to then go out and add strength to more pressing areas of the pitch. For instance, they could soon look a little short in the middle of the park with key man Declan Rice expected to leave this summer.

Manchester United are reportedly interested in making a high-profile swoop for West Ham United star, Declan Rice, with the England international seemingly edging toward a summer exit from the London Stadium.

What's the latest on Rice to Man United?

That's according to journalist Jacob Steinberg, who revealed on Twitter that the Red Devils are ready to battle it out with rivals Arsenal for the 24-year-old's signature: "Manchester United planning move for Declan Rice this summer. Arsenal have put in a lot of groundwork but they now face competition from United for the West Ham midfielder."

In his attached piece for The Guardian, the transfer insider revealed that while United's focus appears to be on landing a new striker this summer, there is 'growing' interest in the Hammers ace.

While it is said that there is 'no guarantee' that Erik ten Hag's side will lodge a bid for the one-time Chelsea youth product – who could command a fee of around £100m – Rice does appear to be a potential target for the Old Trafford outfit, with the midfielder in line for an exit from his current side with just a year left on his existing deal.

How would Rice fit in at Man United?

It is perhaps easy to see why Ten Hag is keeping tabs on the 6 foot 1 maestro, with Manchester Evening News having previously reported that the Dutchman is keen to acquire a 'younger midfielder' ahead of next season, after bringing in the experienced duo of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen last summer.

The addition of Rice could well prove bad news for the latter man, in particular, with it unlikely to be Casemiro – who has been hailed as the "cement" in the side by his manager – who is ousted from his starting berth next season, having cost the club a rather hefty £70m back in August.

In the case of Eriksen – who arrived on a free transfer at the start of last summer – the Danish playmaker has made an impressive impact at the Theatre of Dreams this season with two goals and nine assists in all competitions, although at 31, it remains to be seen if he can be a long-term solution in the centre of the park.

For all the former Tottenham Hotspur man's creative benefits – showcased by the fact that he ranks in the top 1% among his European peers for assists – he seemingly does not possess the ball-winning brilliance nor the mobility of the aforementioned Rice.

That is shown by the fact that the West Ham machine ranks in the top 3% for interceptions and the top 14% for progressive carries as a marker of his ability to both win back the ball but also drive forward from deep, while Eriksen, by contrast, ranks in just the bottom 10% and the top 37% for those same two metrics respectively.

It was also Rice – who has been hailed as a "Rolls Royce" by pundit Danny Murphy – who came out on top when the two sides met in the capital last weekend, with 90min's Toby Cudworth writing that the 41-cap ace was 'absolutely sensational', while Eriksen, by contrast, was 'overwhelmed' in the second half – according to GOAL's Richard Martin.

That stellar showing from the Englishman will likely have piqued the interest of Ten Hag and co even further, with it set to be no surprise if the £60k-per-week ace is lining up alongside Casemiro next term in a red jersey.

Everton's need for fresh offensive firepower ahead of the 2023/24 campaign is hardly difficult to see, with the Merseysiders battling against the threat of relegation for a second successive campaign, and as such, Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos has been earmarked as a potential recruit.

What's the latest on Alfredo Morelos to Everton?

Manager Sean Dyche was hired in January to stem the tide, though even his gritty stoicism has been unable to lift the club away from danger, and now, according to Turkish outlet Fanatik, Everton are hoping to beat Fenerbahce to the player's signature.

The Colombian striker is out of contract at Ibrox this summer, and while he has also been linked with a move to Inter this season, the appeal for Premier League football and a talismanic role at Goodison Park could tip the odds in the Toffees' favour.

An attacker once touted at £50m by former manager Steven Gerrard, the 26-year-old must be considered by Dyche and co over the coming months.

Should Everton sign Alfredo Morelos?

Signing for the Gers from HJK Helsinki for an undisclosed fee in 2017, Morelos has scored 124 goals and supplied 58 assists from 268 appearances in Scotland, hailed as "lethal" by journalist Jordan Campbell.

The £33k-per-week phenom has not enjoyed quite so fruitful fortunes this season, scoring 12 goals and providing seven assists from 44 outings across all competitions, but with his time in Glasgow almost up, this certainly could play a key factor.

With Everton talisman Dominic Calvert-Lewin seeming to wage a perpetual battle with the medical room and £15m summer signing Neal Maupay yielding one goal all season, the 11-cap Colombia international could bring a fresh sense of potency to the offensive line, and while he is not the most dynamic of aces, he possesses an innate knack for finding the back of the net.

The South American could even be Dyche's own Diego Costa, offering a consistent goal threat and irking opposition with his fiery demeanour on the pitch, with one Scottish Premiership opponent describing him as a "nightmare for defenders".

Costa, now 34 years old and plying his trade for Wolverhampton Wanderers, was a two-time Premier League champion at Chelsea and scored plentifully during his time in west London, plundering 59 goals and 23 assists from 120 displays for the Blues.

Once heralded as "the best in the world" by former boss Antonio Conte, Costa was an imperious and brutish force up front, never allowing defenders an opportune moment to rest and very much a constant thorn in their sides.

Morelos, while a capricious head on the pitch, would bring a new dimension to an Everton team yearning for some inspiration, and Dyche must sign him on a free transfer this summer.

Aston Villa have been in contact with the representatives of West Ham United midfielder Manuel Lanzini over a possible move.

What’s the latest Aston Villa transfer news involving Lanzini?

It looks set to be a busy summer at Villa Park ahead of Unai Emery’s first full season in charge, with NSWE ready to go on a “huge” spending spree.

However, not all of their possible signings may come at a cost, with Villa looking to guarantee European football next season on the final day against Brighton this weekend.

Lanzini appears to be a player of interest in the Midlands, with his contract set to expire in the summer. The Argentine has been with the Hammers since 2015 and scored against Leeds United on Sunday, but an exit appears to be a possibility with David Moyes hailing the playmaker on the weekend.

Sport Witness relayed an update from ESPN in the last 48 hours regarding Villa and Lanzini. They claim that Villa officials are one of two clubs to have initiated contact with Lanzini’s representatives. Serie A champions Napoli are also named with an interest.

Who is Manuel Lanzini?

Lanzini is now 30 years of age and is primarily an attacking midfielder who can also play in a deeper role or from the left.

The Nike-sponsored midfielder has made 22 appearances in all competitions this season, taking his Hammers tally to 225. He has scored 32 times for West Ham, with one goal against Crystal Palace last year resulting in Declan Rice hailing Lanzini as a “special player”.

“It was a great goal. He touched it on his right and brought it back on his left and it was a great finish.

“Manu is a special, special player and probably nobody else in the team would have been able to manoeuvre the ball that quick. For him to get another two goals, I’m delighted for him.”

Should Lanzini move to the Midlands, he would bring plenty of versatility and Premier League experience to Emery’s side. An out-and-out attacking midfielder is something Villa don’t have at this moment in time, with Philippe Coutinho and Emiliano Buendia down as wingers as per Transfermarkt, and should Villa qualify for Europe, signing someone like Lanzini could prove to be a wise move.

It looks as if the club are already working on a cut-price transfer following this update, so a move may well be one to monitor over the coming weeks alongside some possible big-money additions.
