Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ISSAME CHARAI left Rangers earlier this week, but he looks to be nearing another job already. His contract was mutually terminated by the Ibrox club as Russell Martin begins to build his own backroom staff. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 2 Charai was brought in under Philippe Clement, but stayed through Barry Ferguson's interim tenure too Credit: Willie Vass 2 But with Rangers appointing Matt Gill as new assistant manager, Charai was left without a place Credit: Willie Vass The 43-year-old joined Rangers' staff in January, shortly before Philippe Clement was sacked, and he only lasted five months in the role. He might not be out the game for long though. Reports claim the former Gers number two is closing in on the Westerlo job. David Van der Broeck, a Belgian journalist claims he is favourite to succeed current boss Timmy Simons. He said on X, in response to Rangers' statement: "He is free to sign for Westerlo, where he is the favourite to succeed Timmy Simons as head coach." Charai left Rangers full of thanks for the club. He told the club's official 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. '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 CEO praised Charai as he moves on, saying: 'Through the managerial transition in February and beyond, he handled himself superbly and was a real asset to Barry and his staff during their period in charge of the team. Rangers fans react to news Russell Martin is their new manager 'As the men's first-team moves forth into this new era under Russell, it has been agreed between the club and Issame for him to move on." With Matt Gill joining Martin at Ibrox as his assistant coach, it left Charai without a place in the set up which inevitably lead to his departure from the Light Blues. Russell Martin has a busy summer ahead of him, preparing his Rangers squad for Champions League qualifiers. Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

Scotland OUT of Darts World Cup as Gary Anderson and Peter Wright WHITEWASHED in shock defeat
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GARY ANDERSON and Peter Wright failed to win a single leg as Scotland suffered a shock opening defeat at the World Cup of Darts. Scotland have won the tournament twice before, with the same pair beating England in 2019, and John Henderson and Wright got the better of Austria in 2021. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Gary Anderson and Peter Wright won the World Cup with Scotland in 2019 4 Anderson stepped aside for 2021, allowing John Henderson the chance, and him and Peter Wright lifted the trophy too 4 Peter Wright looks to the heavens for inspiration as Scotland lost to the Netherlands Credit: Getty 4 Gary Anderson wasn't on his best form Credit: Getty Scotland came into the event seeded alongside England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Their first match was to be no easy task for the former world champions, with Gian Van Veen and Danny Noppert of the Netherlands standing in their way. The Dutch duo got off to a dream start as they broke into a 2-0 lead over the veteran Scots as Van Veen pinned back to back doubles. World number 16 Noppert made it 3-0, but the younger Van Veen took out a 130-finish in the following leg as the Dutch marched into a 4-0 lead. Despite missing three-time World Champion Michael Van Gerwen, the Dutch still look a formidable force. The current World Youth champion Van Veen made it a fantastic five in the race to eight legs in Frankfurt. Danny Noppert got back in the action, as Scotland conceded their sixth leg without reply, and they couldn't stop the rot as Noppert goes back-to-back. Team Netherlands walk off the stage for the break in play 7-0 up on Scotland, as the Dutch demolition duo moved within one leg. Scotland missed darts to prevent the whitewash, and that allowed Noppert to step up and check out 25 to dump Scotland out of the tournament. The Dutchmen averaged 100.2, compared to Scotland's measly 79.37. 'Stupid' - Josh Rock hits out at 'disrespectful' World Cup of Darts rival's on-stage antics Anderson and Wright only managed three darts at double in the entire match. Danny Noppert told Sky Sports after the match: "I didn't expect this before the game" talking about Scotland's form. Star man Van Veen said to Sky: "Even though they didn't play well, It was still Scotland, it was still Peter Wright and Gary Anderson, even though they didn't play phenomenal it was still the two legends of the game." The Netherlands move on to the next round, where they take on Czechia. Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
