New Rangers hero does it yet again in UCL with opener vs Viktoria Plzeň 🙌
Djeidi Gassama has only been a Rangers player for a matter of weeks, but he is quickly turning into the club's main man, and certainly the man for the big winger had already grabbed a goal in both legs of the second qualifying round win over Panathinaikos, and made it three on the spin in Europe with a fine opener against Viktoria Plzeň at Ibrox. It was a lovely bit of link play with Cyriel Dessers that allowed the winger the chance to curl the ball home from inside the box to send the home fans wild. It's safe to say he has already paid off the transfer fee paid to Sheffield Wednesday for his services. 📸 Ian MacNicol - 2025 Getty Images

Saskatoon swimmer breaks Canadian records at world championships in Singapore
A Saskatoon swimmer who competed at the world championships in Singapore over the weekend earned a place in the Canadian history books. Blake Tierney broke three individual Canadian records — setting a new bar in the 200-metre backstroke, breaking that same record in the next race, and then recording the fastest Canadian 100-metre backstroke split as part of the 4x100-metre medley relay team — and two team Canadian records as part of the 4x100 medley team. Tierney said he likes being the underdog in these competitions, because there's not a lot to lose. "I had some goals going into the meet, I hit some of them and I didn't hit all of them," he said. "I'm always striving for more. But walking away with three Canadian individuals and then two relays, I think it was a really good meet and a really good improvement for myself." Tierney went on to finish fourth in the 200-metre backstroke final, well surpassing his goal of making the semifinal. "That was my goal going in," he said. "Then, I dropped like one and a half seconds on my best time and the Canadian record, so coming away from that, I was kind of blown away." He went into the semifinal as the top seed, a new experience for him. "I was kind of just going in with the same attitude of, 'OK, let's just go make this final, let's see what we can do,'" he said. "I would have loved to get a medal, but you can't have everything." He said he learned from the experience. "Seeing what it has takes, and reminding myself about that moving that forward, I think that'll help me hopefully get [a podium] in the future," he said. He also learned that the sky is the limit. "Records are made to be broken," he said. "Don't try to limit yourself based on what other people have done. Just kind of always try to improve. Not to prove, just improve." Blake's father Pete said he's very proud of his son's accomplishments. "We're kind of floating and it's surreal, but we're just super happy for Blake," he said. "All that hard work and training has really paid off for him." Pete said Blake's performance was extra impressive given that he came into the meet ranked 22nd out of 40 swimmers from around the world. "That was just unbelievable," he said.

Heung-min Son set for LAFC transfer after leaving Spurs
An emotional Heung-min Son announced his plan to leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer on Saturday, after 10 years with the north London club, and is set to join MLS side LAFC, according a report from The Athletic on Tuesday. MORE — Latest transfer news | Ins and outs confirmed In signing the Korean superstar, LAFC will break the MLS record for highest transfer fee paid ($26.5 million). Son is set to join a side that sits 6th in the Western Conference (top-9 make the MLS Cup Playoffs), but is just two points off 4th with two games in hand due to their participation in the Club World Cup last month. Los Angeles is home to the largest Korean population in the United States — 320,000 — and also the largest such population outside of Korea. To say the 33-year-old will be received as a hero form day 1 is an understatement. Son announces he is leaving Tottenham Hotspur "Before we start the press conference, I wanted to say I have decided to leave the Club this summer. Respectfully the club is helping me with this decision," Son revealed. "It was the most difficult decision I have made in my career. Such amazing memories. It was so hard to make the decision. I need a new environment to push myself. I need a little bit of change - 10 years is a long time. "I came to north London as a kid, 23 years old, such a young age. I leave this club as a grown man, a very proud man. I want to say thank you to all the Spurs fans for giving me so much love. I hope the goodbye is also good timing and this is the right time to make that decision. I hope everyone can accept that and respect that." According to numerous reports, including from Fabrizio Romano, Son, 33, is close to agreeing a move to Los Angeles FC in Major League Soccer and talks are at an advanced stage. Son confirmed he will be able to say more about his next club after the friendly against Newcastle on Sunday. This is the right time for Spurs legend Son to move on As they say, all good things must come to an end and this decision from Son comes at the right time for him and Spurs. After scoring 173 goals and adding 101 assists in 452 appearances for Spurs, Son will go down as a true legend of the club and is one of the greatest and most-adored players in Premier League history. Son is a superstar in South Korea and has been a wonderful ambassador for Spurs, the Premier League and the game of football in general. He is truly one of the good guys. In his 10 years at Spurs he was a key part of some of the best teams in club history alongside Harry Kane and Co. and came close to winning the Premier League, Champions League and League Cup trophies. The fact he leaves Spurs after captaining them to a first European trophy in 41 years is a fitting farewell. Son struggled with injuries and form throughout last season but was still a big part of them winning the UEFA Europa League, their first trophy in 17 years, as he went on to explain in his press conference that his decision to leave had been made for quite some time. New Spurs manager Thomas Frank, who was sat next to Son during the press conference, added: "I would have loved to have worked with this fantastic person and player. He is a true Spurs legend in every aspect. One of the greatest players to play in the Premier League. It is never easy to find the perfect timing and me coming in from the side, it makes it a bit easier to end on a high." Son to LAFC is great news for everyone A move to LAFC for the next few years makes perfect sense for Son and he will always be a Spurs legend. LAFC are consistently among the top teams in MLS and Son's arrival will give them a massive edge both on the pitch and off it. Son will be rejuvenated, become a face of the league with his huge fanbase following his every move in LA, and ahead of South Korea competing in the World Cup next summer he will be fully settled in the USA. Son started his journey in Leverkusen, made himself a legend in London and is now set to finish his glittering career in Los Angeles.
