Jamaica eye Sterling
Jamaica is attempting to get Dujon Sterling of the Rangers to play for them in the Gold Cup this summer. The Scottish Sun claims that manager Heimir Hallgrimsson has been impressed by scouting reports on the Ibrox star, who can play a variety of positions, and that the Reggae Boyz are in a group with Mexico, Ecuador, and Venezuela. Although the 24-year-old Sterling has played youth football for England, his ancestry qualifies him for Jamaica.
Celtic set to keep Yang
Yang Hjun-jun, a winger for Celtic, is expected to miss South Korea’s Olympic qualifying match next month. Yang can play for the Under-23s in their attempt to qualify for the Paris Games later in the summer, but manager Brendan Rodgers of Celtic is unlikely to approve of Yang’s departure in April given the team’s title rivalry. Regarding the squad selection process, South Korea’s manager Hwang Sun-hong stated: “I will have a final meeting with the staff, but this is a difficult part.” We must think of another option. I’m also considering a backup strategy.
Boyce could return
Hearts anticipates that Liam Boyce, a Northern Irishman who is accelerating his recovery from a thigh tendon injury, will play at some stage this season. Manager Steven Naismith told the Edinburgh Evening News that although the 32-year-old hasn’t played since early December, “Yeah, I think there’s a chance that he will be back.” He is back on the grass and making good progress. He is still developing, but now that he is running again, I would anticipate seeing him again before the season is out.
Break bank for Lammers
Utrecht, a Dutch team, has disclosed that they had to exceed their budget in order to acquire Sam Lammers on a loan. After a challenging beginning to his Rangers career, the forward returned home. Frans van Seumeren, the owner of Utrecht, stated: “I more or less pushed through to get Lammers.” At one time, Ron (the head coach) and Jordy (the technical director of Zuidam) approached him after doing a pretty fantastic job. Ultimately, Lammers’ desire to attend was evident. The budget did not include the loan charge that needed to be paid. You will then need to solve it. I applied a little pressure to it at that precise moment. (It made sense) since I could see that we lacked a striker. You wish to avoid being demoted. You would not want to put yourself through that suffering, as that would result in my hanging from the (Utrecht) church! Then I said, “Let’s grab Lammers.”
Boyle back in training
Due to his comeback to training this week, legendary Hibs winger Martin Boyle could play against Rangers this weekend after missing last Saturday’s game due to a concussion. Following a collision with John Souttar of the Gers during a Scottish Cup match, the Australian was hospitalised earlier this month. Following his diagnosis, Boyle was unable to play in two Hibs matches. He has been employed by Hibs at their East Mains training camp since Tuesday, so if he experiences any side effects, he ought to be able to make the trip to Ibrox on Saturday.
Forward rated at £10m
According to Peter Grant, in order for his previous team, Celtic, to sign in-form Blackburn forward Sammie Szmodics, they would have to shell out about £10 million. The Irishman, who has 28 goals for Rovers, has been tangentially associated with the Brendan Rodgers squad. “He’s not a striker; he scores a hell of a lot of goals. I saw him as a youngster before he got his move to Peterborough, at Colchester, and I was really impressed with him,” said Grant, who was both a player and a coach at Celtic Park. I enjoy attending sports without having any idea about the personnel. He leaped out at me, as some people do, and I thought, ‘This kid can play.’ Shortly after that, he moved to Peterborough. The Championship is a really tough league, and it’s even harder if you’re not playing with one of the top teams. He’s a goal threat, and he scored goals on a regular basis. Above all, he is a talented football player with a great eye for goal, especially in crucial situations. He will be expensive if his contract is still in place; in any case, anyone who scores goals in the Championship will be expensive. About £10 million.
