Glasgow Rangers got back to winning ways in the Scottish Premiership with a hard-fought 2-1 victory away at St Mirren on Sunday afternoon.
An own goal from James Bolton and a second-half winner from Cyriel Dessers secured all three points for the Gers, who had failed to win any of their previous three outings in the league.
While Philippe Clement will be delighted with the victory and another step in the right direction as they battle it out with Celtic to secure the title, there were some worries to come from the match.
One player who may have just played himself out of the starting XI is winger Fabio Silva, who must finally be binned from the lineup after another unimpressive showing.
The Portuguese forward endured a rough afternoon on the left flank as he struggled in and out of possession throughout the game for the Gers.
Rabbi Matondo and Abdallah Sima were out injured but the manager did have Ross McCausland, who eventually replaced him, and Scott Wright on the bench as options to play out wide.
The Belgian boss kept faith in the Wolverhampton Wanderers loanee but was not rewarded with an impressive performance on the pitch from the attacker.

As you can see in the table above, Silva did not make a big contribution in the final third with one key pass, zero goals, zero assists, and zero 'big chances' created.
He also struggled to deal with the physicality of the match, losing 86% of his duels in 56 minutes, which meant that the opposition defenders, notably Alexander Gogic who stopped the forward from chopping past him in the box during the first half, were able to subdue him with ease.
The former Anderlecht loanee was handed a 4/10 match rating by Glasgow World writer Lewis Anderson, who stated that the lightweight 'offered little' and was 'unconvincing', which appears to be fair based on his lack of quality at both ends of the pitch.
Along with this most recent display, Silva must be dropped by Clement because his performances in recent weeks as a starter have not been good enough.
Speaking on the Open Goal Podcast earlier this month, as relayed by The National, former Gers man Derek Ferguson claimed that the attacker offers "absolutely nothing", and described him as "woeful" over the past five or six matches.
He has started the last five Premiership matches for Rangers but has not contributed with a single goal or assist for the Light Blues in that time, and the dud has not registered a goal contribution in any of his last seven league outings.
Since his move to Ibrox on loan at the start of January, the 21-year-old flop has scored two goals, registered zero assists, and created zero 'big chances' in 14 Premiership appearances, which includes nine starts.
Therefore, the Portuguese dud has offered very little in the final third, to go along with his weak play out of possession with a duel success rate of just 39%, and should now be ditched by Clement against Kilmarnock next weekend, and by Rangers when his loan comes to an end in the summer.
Glasgow Rangers sealed their place in the final of the SFA Cup next month with a 2-0 win over Hearts at Hampden Park on Sunday afternoon.
Cyriel Dessers scored both goals, with one in each half, to book their ticket to the final, where the Light Blues will take on the rivals Celtic as they bid to win both domestic cups this season.
Philippe Clement's side have already secured the League Cup and the Belgian boss could rake in a second trophy, as well as hopefully a third in the form of the Scottish Premiership title.
There were a number of strong performers for Rangers on the pitch, including Dessers with his match-winning brace, and one player has made himself undroppable – Todd Cantwell.
The former Norwich City attacker, who was given a match rating of 8/10 by the Daily Record, ran the show at Hampden with his energetic display and quality on the ball to create both of the goals for his Nigerian teammate.
Former Celtic man Brian McLaughlin hailed the English whiz's link-up play as a "key factor" in Rangers' success during the game, as the talented gem buzzed about the pitch to bring his teammates into the match to create chances.
Ex-Hearts striker John Robertson also described – speaking on BBC Sportsound – Cantwell as a "big problem" for Steven Naismith's team, as they could not get to grips with the mercurial playmaker, who he later hailed as "the difference" between the two sides.
Cantwell was as effective and dominant as those comments from McLaughlin and Robertson suggest, as he was directly involved in both of Dessers' goals.
Rangers' opening goal came when the 26-year-old wizard took a positive touch forward and slotted the ball into the path of the ex-Cremonese marksman, who fired a low shot in.
The attacking midfielder then drove forwards with the ball from the halfway line, evading multiple challenges, before laying the ball off to Dessers in the box, who scored after his initial effort was parried back to him.
Clement should consider Cantwell undroppable, barring an enforced change, ahead of the crucial run-in in their bid to win two more trophies this season.
The creative maestro has been used off the bench in six of his 26 Premiership appearances so far this term, most recently against Celtic earlier this month, but should be kept in the starting XI for the big matches to come between now and the end of the campaign.

As you can see in the table above, Cantwell offers more at the top end of the pitch than his closest competitor for a spot in the lineup – Tom Lawrence – and that was further illustrated with his difference-making display against Hearts.
The ex-Canaries star provides dynamism, drive, and quality, in the number ten position, which was highlighted by his heroic performance at Hampden on Sunday against Hearts – setting up both goals.
Clement must now consider him to be undroppable and hope that Cantwell continues to deliver brilliant showings on the park over the weeks to come.
Liverpool's storming finish to the Jurgen Klopp era is in danger of fizzling out like a disappointing firework, and Crystal Palace have been known to spoil glinted aspirations on Merseyside in the past…
Atalanta left Anfield in bitter bewilderment after a comprehensive 3-0 victory in the Europa League quarter-final first leg last week; to say the Reds have a mountain to climb in Italy next week would be apt.
Still, such deficits are hardly insurmountable with Klopp at the helm, as has been evidenced in the past under the European lights, but while that anticipated showdown looms, Liverpool must bounce back against Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
The Eagles travel to Anfield in poor form, with just two wins from ten top-flight fixtures, but will be determined to capitalise on any complacency and discord in the hosts' ranks. Klopp will demand anything but.
Liverpool are third in the standings and are only behind Arsenal – who welcome Aston Villa to the Emirates Stadium a few hours after – on goal difference, with Manchester City claiming top spot, at least briefly, after winning at home against Luton Town on Saturday afternoon.
Klopp might be convinced to ring the changes after such a dour affair in midweek and could make a whopping five alterations for the visit of the 15th-placed Eagles.
1 GK – Caoimhin Kelleher
Caoimhin Kelleher has been a wonderful stand-in for the injured Alisson Becker over the past few months but was horribly at fault for two of Atalanta's goals on Thursday.
Alisson is on the brink of a return, but the Irishman will deputise once more tomorrow, determined to right his recent wrongs. He's still an excellent player between the sticks.
2 RB – Conor Bradley
Like Alisson, the influential Trent Alexander-Arnold is on the cusp of a comeback but will likely start from the bench, with Conor Bradley more than capable of performing to a high standard in his stead.
The 20-year-old has been one of the biggest success stories of the campaign and is truly wonderful, ranking among the top 15% of full-backs across Europe's top five leagues over the past year for goals, the top 2% for assists, the top 11% for shot-creating actions, the top 7% for progressive carries, the top 9% for successful take-ons and the top 1% for tackles and blocks per 90, as per FBref.
3 CB – Ibrahima Konate
Ibrahima Konate was another at fault last time out, but he's a top-class defender and will be confident that he can also rectify his dismal display in Europe.
Fast-rising Jarell Quansah has been largely excellent this season but he might be benched once more for this one after his mistake at Old Trafford, with his French counterpart required to ensure that Liverpool have the best chance of success.
4 CB – Virgil van Dijk
There's a bit of a tiring theme here. Virgil van Dijk was uncharacteristically poor against Atalanta, but the club captain has been one of the finest players in the Premier League this season and will be vital in controlling and commanding from the back.
5 LB – Andy Robertson
Replacing the struggling Kostas Tsimikas at half-time on Thursday, Andy Robertson brought some pace and energy to the team, and it is crucial that he returns from the outset against Oliver Glasner's side.
The Scotland skipper has had a tough time this season, injured for a large portion and not quite at his barnstorming best, but he's still one of the finest left-backs around and averages 2.5 key passes and 4.2 ball recoveries per top-flight game this season, as per Sofascore.
6 DM – Alexis Mac Allister
Alexis Mac Allister is a strong contender for Liverpool's Player of the Year award and has been the catalyst behind his side's success in their title-chasing endeavours over the past few months.

While it's not his preferred position, Wataru Endo seemed leggy in the previous fixture, and the Argentine must now deputise in the holding midfield role. He's definitely up for the task.
7 CM – Harvey Elliott
Klopp might be tempted to give Dominik Szoboszlai the nod at Anfield this weekend, but the Hungarian was shocking off the bench in midweek and Harvey Elliott is deserving of just his seventh Premier League start of the campaign.
Klopp must drop Liverpool’s 3/10 struggler who was worse than Nunez
The Reds suffered a chastening Anfield defeat in the Europa League vs Atalanta.
ByAngus Sinclair Apr 12, 2024
The 21-year-old is creative and clever in his midfield play and ranks among the top 1% of midfielders across Europe's top five leagues over the past year for assists, as well as in the top 3% for shot-creating actions per 90.
8 CM – Curtis Jones
Klopp was as surprised as anyone when Curtis Jones looked fatigued at half-time against Atalanta, but the dynamic midfielder has been languishing on the sidelines over the past few months.
Still, he's an immense technical outlet – hailed for his "phenomenal" ball-retention ability by analyst Raj Chohan – and will be vital in establishing early control and fluency in the engine room, facilitating the success of his forward-positioned peers.
9 RW – Mohamed Salah
Mohamed Salah will need to be at his prolific best against a Crystal Palace side that will employ disruptive defensive tactics, seeking to break down and frustrate Liverpool's sharp attack while threatening on the counter.
He's certainly got the tools in his locker, having posted 23 goals and 13 assists in all competitions this season. Salah has also bagged 13 goal contributions in as many matches against the Eagles, winning ten.
10 LW – Luis Diaz
He's been one of Liverpool's most consistent performers over the past several months, and Luis Diaz will be needed to stretch and sap the Palace backline, electric-paced down the left wing.
The teenager explains what Pakistan did differently post-lunch in Rawalpindi to change the game
Umar Farooq in Rawalpindi11-Dec-2019
AFP
After conceding 89 runs in the first, wicketless session in Rawalpindi, Pakistan remarkably got back in the game in the second. They had bowled 48 balls on a full length in 26 overs in that opening session, conceding 47 runs off these deliveries and straying on leg stump as well. Wayward in line, ineffective in length, captain Azhar Ali’s statements the previous day on the important of discipline in Test format seemed lost on this attack. Speaking after the day’s play, 16-year-old Naseem Shah admitted that new plans had to be drawn up for the second session, and those centred around containing the Sri Lanka batsmen.It was the first time in 24 years that Pakistan were playing at home with an all-pace attack. The last time this happened was in 1995, against Sri Lanka in Sialkot. The hint of grass on the Rawalpindi pitch in combination with the earlier overcast conditions seemed to suggest it was the way to go but, at the toss, Sri Lanka opted to bat, baffling many. A lack of swing duly followed, and Pakistan conceded 3.4 runs to the over in that first session. In all, 120 balls were pitched on a length or fuller to concede 74 runs.When asked if his side misread the pitch, Shah said: “It’s cricket and it happens… yes there was moisture in the pitch but we couldn’t get wickets early. They also batted well and we didn’t bowl according to the plan in the first session.”So we had to re-plan and went out to contain in the second session. Overall the pitch was good, all you have to hit the good areas for success. We could have taken another wicket [in the day] but we will come back fresh tomorrow to get them as quickly as we can to restrict them under 250 to have a full control [of the game].”Shah finished the day with two wickets, as Sri Lanka slipped from 96 for 0 to 189 for 5. At stumps they were 202 for 5, and Shah, playing his second Test after a testing debut in Australia, was facing a crowed press conference for the first time. He came across as confident in answering whatever question was thrown at him. When asked about being rested in the second Test in Australia despite holding his own in the first, he kept it brief: “There wasn’t any issue. Our management understands better how they want to take care of me, so nothing to worry about.”Of course, the Rawalpindi Test is a homecoming for Test cricket in Pakistan, and Shah was happy to soak up the atmosphere. “In Australia I saw how the crowd there was behind their bowlers all the time and their support really gave them a push,” he said. “And today, playing at a home venue in front of my own crowd gave me the exact sense I got in Australia. The crowd was outstanding and they were cheering on every good ball I bowled, so playing at home wasn’t about me being under pressure but instead I was enjoying the atmosphere.”
‘He is tactically very knowledgeable. We all know what qualities he has as a man as well’
Firdose Moonda14-Dec-2019Graeme Smith, South Africa’s acting director of cricket, has chosen “hardened, experienced” former team-mate Mark Boucher as coach of the men’s national side until the 2023 World Cup. Enoch Nkwe, the interim team director (a term that has now been scrapped), has been appointed Boucher’s assistant for the same period while former convenor of selectors Linda Zondi has been brought back until April 2020 and Ashwell Prince will coach the South African A side.Boucher, Zondi, Nkwe and Test captain Faf du Plessis make up the selection panel for now, whose first task is to choose the squad that will face England in a home series starting on Boxing Day. The squad for the first two Tests will be announced on Monday, before the Mzansi Super League final. A batting and bowling consultant will also be finalised in the coming week.The radical changes to the South African national structure were made in the last four days after Smith accepted the director of cricket position in a temporary capacity on Wednesday. Smith has signed a three-month contract after which he has a commentary stint at the Indian Premier League and confirmed to ESPNcricinfo that he would then consider a more permanent deal with CSA.Smith’s appointment comes after more than three months of negotiation, during which time he withdrew his interest before being re-engaged following the suspension of CSA CEO Thabang Moroe. While Smith confirmed he still has “no relationship,” with the under-pressure CSA Board, he explained that the changes in the CSA executive administration played a major part in his accepting the role.”I didn’t have a lot of confidence in the leadership of CSA,” Smith said. “With such an extensive job description, I didn’t feel I could achieve in the role with the leadership that was there at the time. You need a robust CSA to be able to challenge each other, you need trust and you need to have an environment that was ready for that, and I didn’t feel the environment was ready before I took this job.”If I am going to come in, I want to be able to do the best that I can do. I feel that is slightly better now. The opportunity is there. I have got a lot of confidence in Jacques [Faul] as the CEO.”
“I am very aware of transformation. I led my the country for 11 years and I had to be very much a part of managing those processes.”Graeme Smith
Faul has also been appointed in an interim capacity for the next six months while Moroe undergoes a disciplinary process. With Smith making clear his allegiance, it would appear his future involvement with CSA is tied to Faul’s and will be decided as the summer ends. Similarly, the position of Zondi, whose short-term contract was a result of what Smith called “a budget thing”, will also be up for discussion when the 2019-20 season is over.However, the positions of Boucher and Nkwe are confirmed until after the 2023 World Cup, a decision that aims to provide both expertise and continuity for the national side. “I felt at this stage, the Proteas needed a really hardened, experienced international guy,” Smith said. “I feel that Mark, from a cricket perspective, is very knowledgeable. He is tactically very knowledgeable. We all know what qualities he has as a man as well. I felt those were the decisions best needed for the current Proteas set up.”Smith indicated the long-term plan would be to prepare Nkwe to take over from Boucher in the future. “We have had a couple of chats with Enoch in terms of his pathway going forward and developing him as a high-standing international coach. We feel he has got a lot of qualities that will be very useful to Mark and that will help him progress in international cricket.”Asked whether the demotion of Nkwe, South Africa’s first black African coach, and the appointment of Boucher above him could be seen as a whitewash, Smith disagreed. “My job is to create cricket excellence. I feel I have made the right decision for the Proteas. I think for Enoch’s future as well it is the right appointment. We need to think about managing people sometimes and not just a number,” Smith said. “I am very aware of transformation. I led my the country for 11 years and I had to be very much a part of managing those processes. A number of discussions need to happen behind the scenes but I disagree with the statement [that it’s a whitewash].”Ashwell Prince ‘is full of opinions which we love’ – Graeme Smith•Getty ImagesSmith is also still in discussions with CSA around the transformation targets and the policy going forward but for now wants to focus on getting the South Africa team back on stable ground following a rocky 2019. South Africa lost five successive Tests, including a home series in Sri Lanka and a 0-3 defeat in India, where Smith indicated off-field problems appeared to bleed onto the field. “The disappointing thing has been how South African cricket has been run of late. That has been the most challenging aspect. That’s filtered into the environment and made life difficult for the guys that have been in that position. Hopefully in the short term we can turn it around.”For Smith, it is key to “bring leadership back into the game”, which can be provided by former internationals. Smith singled out Prince’s involvement with the A side as particularly important. “I am very happy that we have Ashwell involved. He has got a lot of international experience, he is a hardened international cricketer. He is full of opinions which we love,” Smith said. “The A side needs to be the second-best men’s team in the country.”If Smith takes on the role post the IPL next year, his job will include developing a strategy that will include the A side, looking at the domestic structures, the Under-19 side, the women’s game, and even cricket at grassroots level. For now, Smith’s sole focus is the national men’s team and the England series and creating the blueprint that will put South Africa on a path to success.”We want the Proteas to play well and start winning again. Faf is happy that there is a bit of leadership around. Both him and Enoch have had very frustrating times over the last period. There has been almost no communication with them [from CSA] for a lengthy period of time. I’m glad we were able to come in and provide some direction for them,” Smith said. “Hopefully we can take away some of the drama from them and Faf and the team that is selected can focus on playing cricket and doing the job well. That’s what’s expected of them. It’s going to be our responsibility to clean up the rest.”
Chelsea's Cobham academy has been the home for many talented youngsters to progress, before having a successful career at Stamford Bridge.
Within the current first-team setup in 2024, players such as Reece James, Levi Colwill, and Conor Gallagher are just three who came through the club's academy before excelling under boss Mauricio Pochettino.
Many players have enjoyed spells with the Blues before leaving the club for hefty fees. Mason Mount, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Callum Hudson-Odoi were all products of the academy, making over 100 appearances before leaving the club.
The club also invested in a youngster back in 2017, before rapidly developing at the club, and progressing into the first team. However, the club sold him back in 2022, with the club potentially living to regret his departure after his recent form.
After signing a professional deal following his move from Rangers, midfielder Billy Gilmour joined Chelsea's U18 side with the youngster swapping Glasgow for London.
The Blues paid a rumoured £500k for the midfielder, with the club keeping one eye on the future with his signing.
He quickly became a regular for the U18 side, making 16 appearances in the U18 Premier League, scoring six times as a central midfielder – with Gilmour quickly showing his talent.
The young gem's good form saw him progress into the U21 side, featuring 30 times over the next two campaigns, with the Scotsman still standing out despite his tender age.
His impressive performance did not go unnoticed, with Frank Lampard handing Gilmour his Premier League debut for Chelsea as an 84th-minute substitute against Sheffield United in August 2019, before making his full league debut against Everton in March 2020.

The midfielder went on to play 11 times in all competitions for the Blues that campaign, before leaving the club to join Norwich City on loan for the 2021/22 season. The move was beneficial for the youngster, with it allowing him to gain valuable top-flight minutes.
He ended up making 24 appearances throughout the campaign, playing for 1,858 minutes, with manager Daniel Farke dubbing the midfielder as a "baller". However, Gilmour couldn't prevent the Canaries from relegation as Norwich ended the season bottom of the league.
Gilmour's loan stint in East Anglia wasn't enough to break into Chelsea's first team, with the former Rangers man permanently moving away from Stamford Bridge after being sold by Thomas Tuchel in the summer of 2022.
Gilmour joined Brighton and Hove Albion for a deal in the region of £7.5m, on a four-year contract. He made 14 league appearances during his first season on the South Coast, before becoming a more regular starter under Roberto De Zerbi this season.
The Scottish international has featured 25 times in the league, along with seven appearances for the Seagulls in the Europa League – with a 91% pass accuracy in the European competition as he has starred on the continental stage as a metronome in midfield.
His performances have seen his market value rise to £15m – with the midfielder's valuation increasing by 100% in the space of 18 months since his departure from Chelsea.
With Gilmour only being 22 years old, he could still have a huge future ahead of him, with the Blues potentially living to regret selling the midfielder given his recent form in the Premier League and Europa League, as they had a blunder with his exit.
As Tottenham Hotspur continue their hunt for Champions League football, many fans feel that a lack of depth in key areas will be to blame if they don't manage to finish in the top four.
Spurs' search for a midfielder
No Spurs midfielder has started more than eighteen games in the Premier League this season, leaving Ange Postecoglou with a selection headache going into most matches. Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr have been the Australian's pairing of choice, but a mix of injuries, international duty and suspensions has seen once outcast Pierre-Emile Højbjerg return to the fold and play more minutes than expected.
Spurs star showed he's undroppable with "incredible" display v Palace
The Spurs star was immense versus Crystal Palace.
ByTom Lever Mar 3, 2024
In an attempt to address the problem areas of the pitch, Spurs have been working quickly to get deals done early and ensure they are not hamstrung by absences like they have been this season.
Going into this summer, Daniel Levy will have a long list of improvements necessary to take Spurs to the next level. Adrien Rabiot has been linked with a move to Spurs this summer with the North London club hoping to capitalise on the 28-year-old's expiring contract.
Despite the interest from Spurs, a new development appears to have put these rumours to bed for now and may force Levy to pursue other targets.
Fabrizio Romano gives Rabiot update
Speaking to CaughtOffside, Fabrizio Romano has given an update on Spurs' attempts to sign Adrien Rabiot. Romano told the outlet: "People at Spurs are monitoring midfielders in general and Adrien Rabiot could be big opportunity for many clubs. Still, I’m not aware of concrete contacts between Tottenham and Rabiot for now.
“From what I heard, Rabiot will also give priority to talks with Juventus over a new deal before deciding his future.”
This news will be a cause for frustration among Spurs fans with Rabiot long reported to be heading to North London this summer. At 28-years-old the Frenchman is not one for the future, but experience in the middle of the park is exactly what Spurs are crying out for at the moment.
In-and-out of the side in Turin, Rabiot signed a one-year extension with Juventus last summer meaning that he will be a free agent at the end of the season. A player with proven pedigree at the top level, it is likely that the midfielder will have top sides queueing up to secure his services this summer.
A powerful presence who is comfortable with the ball at his feet, Rabiot would make an excellent addition to a Spurs side that relies on quick transition attacks.

Signing a player with a proven track-record on the biggest stage could be the key to taking Spurs to the next level. Out of contract in the summer, Levy could get an absolute steal by securing the services of Rabiot at the end of the season.
كشفت تقارير صحفية حقيقة اهتمام نادي بايرن ميونخ بالتعاقد مع حارس مرمى فريق ليفربول، أليسون بيكر، في موسم الانتقالات الصيفي المقبل.
ومن المعروف أن حارس مرمى فريق بايرن ميونخ، مانويل نوير، سينتهي عقده الحالي مع النادي الألماني في صيف 2025، أي نهاية هذا الموسم.
وسيبلغ قائد بايرن ميونخ سن الـ39 عامًا في غضون خمسة أشهر، مما أدى إلى ارتباطه بإمكانية الرحيل عن “الأليانز آرينا”.
وظهرت تقارير صحفية تفيد أن بايرن ميونخ يستهدف الحصول على خدمات أليسون من صفوف ليفربول، لخلافة نوير.
ولكن شبكة “سكاي ألمانيا” نفت الأمر، حيث أكدت أنه لا صحة لتلك الشائعة، كما وصفتها.

ومن المقرر أن ينتهي العقد الحالي لـ أليسون مع ليفربول في 2027، ولن ينتقل إلى بايرن ميونخ لخلافة نوير، وفقًا لما قالته الشبكة المرموقة.
وأشارت إلى إنه من الممكن تمديد عقد نوير مع بايرن ميونخ، ومن المتوقع أن تتم المناقشات الأولى في هذا الصدد هذا العام.
وأوضحت أن خطة بايرن ميونخ الحالية لحراسة المرمى تتمثل في أن ألكسندر نوبل سيكون خليفة نوير.
ويلعب ألكسندر نوبل في الوقت الحالي رفقة فريق شتوتجارت، على سبيل الإعارة.
