Charai 'emerges as favourite' for head coach job after Rangers exit
The former Rangers assistant's contract was mutually terminated following Russell Martin's appointment. Charai could soon be back on the touchline, with Belgian club Westerlo reportedly interested in him. Timmy Simons, appointed last year, is in doubt of his position at Westerlo, and journalist David Van der Broeck claims Charai is the top contender to replace him. Charai expressed gratitude to Rangers upon his departure. He told the club's website: "As I leave Rangers, I want to thank everyone at the club for their support during my time here. "This is a really special club, and as it enters a new era, I want to wish everyone associated with the club the very best for what comes next." He also thanked the fans, saying: "Above all, I want to thank the Rangers supporters for their amazing backing across the period. "We had some high moments and some low moments, but their support was the constant. "It is something I will always remember and be forever grateful for." Rangers issued a statement confirming Charai's departure. It read: "Rangers can today confirm the departure of Issame Charai from the men's first-team coaching staff. "Charai, who joined the club in January to assist Philippe Clement, remained on the coaching staff through Barry Ferguson's spell in charge. "However, following the appointment of Russell Martin as head coach, it has been mutually agreed for Charai to move on with the best wishes of everyone at Rangers."

Celtic 'favourites to sign' Nygren in £1.7m transfer
The Danish SuperLiga club want to sell the 23-year-old attacker, who has just six months left on his contract, to avoid losing him for free. Nygren is believed to be close to choosing Celtic over RSC Anderlecht, FC Copenhagen, and several MLS clubs with the Scottish champions favourites to land a deal. Swedish media outlet Expressen said: "Celtic are currently favourites to sign Nygren and the parties are said to be close to an agreement. "There have also been reports of interest from RSC Anderlecht and FC Copenhagen, but as things stand right now, and as long as the situation doesn't change, Celtic are at the forefront of the process." The Scottish champions were allowed to speak to the Swedish international earlier this week and have agreed personal terms with him. Nygren is reportedly keen on a move to Scotland. He has been a key player for Nordsjælland, scoring 16 goals in all competitions this season. Nygren made his international debut for Sweden earlier this year and has already scored twice in four appearances for his country under Jon Dahl Tomasson. The deal is expected to be finalised soon.

Four Rangers cult heroes conquer Britain's highest peak alongside fans in gruelling charity climb
The trek takes around eight hours to complete - and they had some classic Scottish weather for it FOR A GOOD CAUSE Four Rangers cult heroes conquer Britain's highest peak alongside fans in gruelling charity climb Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FOUR Rangers cult heroes scaled the UK's highest peak today - all in aid of charity. The Gers icons were joined by over 40 fans for the hike up Ben Nevis in the Scottish Highlands. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 6 Ben Nevis in the distance, the highest summit in the UK Credit: Getty 6 Four Rangers legends joined a group of fans for a trek up the mountain 6 Lee McCulloch and Kevin Thomson braved the climb A bus left Ibrox Stadium at 6am this morning, with the groups congregating at the Ben Nevis Visitor Centre near Fort William at around 8.30am. Joining the hardy band of climbers were four men who won titles galore at Rangers. Marvin Andrews, Lee McCulloch, Michael Mols and Kevin Thomson won a combined 29 trophies between them for the Light Blues. The quartet signed up to head up the mountain for the Rangers Charity Foundation, the Ibrox club's charitable arm. Those taking part posed for a group photo at the base of the hill, and video footage later captured fans' favourite Mols keeping the spirits high with a short rendition of Follow Follow. The weather for the hike was a classic Scottish mixture, with some rain, wind and clouds mixed in with a temperature of around 16 degrees. Each participant was asked to raise a minimum of £250 in sponsorship, which will go directly to the foundation. By completing the challenge fans will be invited to a special reception at Ibrox later this year to receive a medal from a current first team star. McCulloch and Thomson were two of the first to reach the top and they were quick to post some pictures from the summit. Ben Nevis is 1,345metres tall and is both the highest mountain in Scotland and the British Isles. Part of the Grampian mountain range, it takes around seven to eight hours to complete. £6m Rangers star Danilo spotted doing gruelling sessions on beach in Brazil as he gears up for make or break pre-season The group received several messages of support and congratulations via social media after scaling the summit. One fan said: "Well done folks." Another said: "Brilliant." And a third said: "Smashing." The Rangers Charity Foundation has recently worked with a number of charity organisations in and around Glasgow and across Scotland. A statement from the charity ahead of the climb said: "We are ready to trek to the highest point in the UK, the summit of Ben Nevis whilst raising vital funds for the Rangers Charity Foundation. "The Rangers Charity Foundation exists to be a force for good on behalf of the Rangers Family, showing compassion to those in need, tackling inequalities and creating opportunities for people of all ages to change their lives for the better. "All funds raised through Bears Up Ben Nevis will go towards our comprehensive range of programmes in the community, which reaches thousands of children and adults offering life-changing opportunities in education, health and wellbeing, employability and diversity and inclusion. "You will also be supporting our charity partners! Each season we work with charities to fund projects that have a lasting and significant impact locally, nationally and across the world. This season we are working with SAMH, Glasgow City Mission, Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity, Armed Forces and Veterans related charities. "We are also very proud of helping thousands of fundraisers support causes close to their hearts every season by making in-kind donations and we assist various community initiatives such as local food banks. "Thank you for your support!" 6 Michael Mols on his way up the mountain 6 Thomson and McCulloch at the top 6 Ben Nevis sits on the outskirts of the town of Fort William Credit: Alamy Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
