Real Betis: Nobel Mendy's transfer to Rangers falls through
The deal between Betis and Rangers collapsed despite advanced talks. Nobel Mendy / Real Betis Nobel Mendy will not be joining Rangers after all. The Senegalese defender's transfer from Real Betis has collapsed following the results of his medical examination. Both clubs had already agreed on a financial package worth €3 million. The 21-year-old defender seemed set for a future in Scotland after several days of intensive negotiations between Real Betis and Rangers. The Andalusian and Scottish club officials had reached a financial compromise, including a 20% sell-on clause in favor of the Seville side. What went wrong? As planned, Nobel Mendy underwent his medical in Barcelona on August 13 before heading to Glasgow. But, unexpectedly, the transfer process came to a halt after this check-up. According to several sources, it was the medical examination results that convinced Rangers to pull the plug. The Ibrox management decided to abandon the negotiations after reviewing the outcome of the player's physical tests. This surprise decision now casts doubt on the Senegalese defender's immediate future, as he remains in Seville. Manuel Pellegrini had already excluded Nobel Mendy from his plans for the upcoming season. The Chilean coach had left the defender out of pre-season preparations and recent team training sessions, confirming Real Betis' intention to part ways with the former Paris FC player. What next for the Senegalese international? To be continued…

Second-half showing highlights need for squad strengthening
We saw the best and worst of Hibs on Sunday in a highly entertaining but frustrating afternoon at Easter Road. Again, Hibs were forced to open the away end for a home support that is firmly getting behind the David Gray era, and it was great to see the club put on the fanzone before the game and even break out the flame-throwers to welcome the teams on to the pitch. Hibs' first-half performance was unreal, as good as we've played in a long time, and gave us a glimpse of what this team is capable of. Even the enigmatic Elie Youan was right at it, getting a goal as a reward for his efforts. The less said about the second half, the better. We can put that down to a rare mis-step from Gray's side and hope they click back into gear when Partizan Belgrade come calling on Thursday night. With a 2-0 lead from the first leg, we're in pole position to progress to the play-off round and move a step closer to earning the league-stage European football our third-place finish deserved. Whether Hibs can cope with the demands of European football over an extended period remains to be seen, but with time left in the transfer window, the second-half showing will certainly have given Malky Mackay and Co food for thought on the extent the squad needs strengthened. It will be another big night at Easter Road, and so long as Hibs show more of the first-half levels, we'll be in for a great evening. You can find Matty Fairnie at Longbangers podcast
