Rangers appoint Russell Martin as manager to end long search for new boss as Ibrox revolution continues
RANGERS have appointed former Southampton boss Russell Martin as their new manager. The 39-year-old has ended months of speculation about the vacancy by accepting the job at Ibrox. 3 3 3 SunSport were first to tell you back on February 22 - the day Philippe Clement was sacked - that Martin was a serious contender. Since then a number of names were linked with the position, including former Real Madrid assistant Davide Ancelotti and ex-Rangers boss Steven Gerrard. But it is ex-Light Blues defender Martin who has made the most convincing pitch to the new American owners at Ibrox to land the job. His name never seemed to go away even despite links with Leicester City. We told you at the start of last week that Martin remained a serious contender and was set for talks to make a fresh pitch for the position. Ancelotti, son of legendary father Carlo, made it clear that Rangers was his preferred choice but a decision had to be made quickly. That was before it was announced that the new US consortium, chairman Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises, would take control of the club last Friday. New sporting director Kevin Thelwell said only on Monday how Rangers are closing in on a new manager. And Martin who had a loan spell at Ibrox seven years ago has emerged from the pack of candidates. He guided Southampton into the Premier League with a play-off win over Leeds United at Wembley a year ago. But the Saints dropped straight back down after failing to recover from a disastrous start with one win in 16 games, which cost Martin his job. More to follow...

Judy Murray tennis initiative helps primary-age girls Learn To Lead
Judy Murray is launching an initiative encouraging primary-age girls to participate in competitive sport and to mentor each other. Ms Murray, a former GB Federation Cup captain who raised her children, Sir Andy Murray and Jamie Murray, to be international tennis champions, has been campaigning to keep girls involved in sport since 2014 with her UK-wide initiative Miss Hits. On Thursday, she is launching Learn To Lead in Scotland, training older primary pupils to mentor younger girls by playing tennis. Research conducted by Women in Sport found 1.3 million teenage girls who considered themselves sporty at primary school dropped out when they started high school, and the project is designed to combat this trend. Learn To Lead is aimed at girls aged between ten and 12, encouraging them to become coaches at lunchtime or at after-school tennis clubs. Pupils in P6 and P7 will lead girls aged between four and nine, organising sessions and setting up in school gyms or playgrounds, teaching basic leadership and organisational skills in a bid to maintain participation in sport. Ms Murray will initially partner with 20 primary schools, targeting those with a local tennis club nearby to ensure a convenient place to continue playing. It follows a pilot in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire which organisers say has already seen 'huge benefits' for pupils. Training sessions will be held in schools ahead of the launch of each club, and videos, lesson plans and equipment will be provided. A teacher will be required to supervise, but Learn To Lead allows older primary pupils to plan, set up, and run activities for younger girls, sharing their knowledge and passion for the sport. Ms Murray said: 'As a female tennis coach, I want to inspire the next generation of girls to learn to lead sporting activity so I can be confident that once I have retired, we have a well-trained coaching workforce in place and ready to continue growing the girls' side of the game. Launching my Learn to Lead (with Miss-Hits) programme for primary school girls to teachers next week @stgeorgesedin . Developing leadership skills in p6/7 and introducing starter tennis to p1-4. Big girls delivering FUN lunchtime clubs to wee girls. Perfect. ⬇️ — judy murray (@JudyMurray) May 27, 2025 'I believe Learn To Lead will help us to not just get girls playing sport at a young age, but keep them engaged throughout their lives and perhaps even provide a route towards careers in coaching or developing sport. 'My life has revolved around sport and as well as the obvious physical and mental health benefits that brings, the life skills you develop really prepare you for what adulthood will throw at you. The friendships often last a lifetime. 'It worries me that so many girls drop out of sport in their teenage years. I hope this programme can help address some of the issues around this by providing a fun and friendly atmosphere with development options too. 'Whether girls go on to become competitive players, coaches or just develop a love for sport, this is about growing participation and getting young girls active. 'I am really proud of what Miss Hits has already achieved, and hope that over the coming months we can build on this with our junior workforce leading the way.' Sarah Fraser, lead active schools co-ordinator (projects) at Sport Aberdeen, said: 'Learn To Lead has been a huge hit. From our initial work with the programme we have already seen huge benefits for the girls involved. 'For some of the younger girls this has been the first sports club they've been involved in, and it has given them a chance to try out tennis. 'For the older girls leading the classes, we have been struck by the confidence and leadership skills they have gained. 'I would definitely encourage schools to get involved. 'Learn To Lead is easy to pick up and deliver, and it is a great way to support girls to not just try sports, but to continue playing and develop their skills as they approach their teenage years and beyond.'

EXCLUSIVE David Coote should have been sacked by PGMOL but the reaction to the leaked Jurgen Klopp insult video was overblown, renowned referee Mark Clattenburg tells new Mail football podcast
David Coote deserved to be sacked by PGMOL after admitting to taking cocaine but the global reaction to a leaked video where the former referee insulted former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was overblown, Mark Clattenburg has told Whistleblowers, a new Mail football podcast, in partnership with Wickes TradePro. World-renowned referee and co-host of the new podcast Clattenburg compared the video, which appeared to show an intoxicated Coote calling the German manager a '****', to 'bantering in a pub'. He added that not enough is done to protect referees from the pressures of the game at the highest level. Whistleblowers is a brand-new football podcast hosted by broadcaster Gordon Smart, Mail Football Editor Ian Ladyman, and ex-elite referee Mark Clattenburg. From what really goes on in the referee's room, to how clubs spin crises and who's pulling the strings behind the scenes - Whistleblowers brings the inside stories only those at the heart of the game can tell. Asked whether Coote had been unfairly treated by PGMOL, Clattenburg said: 'No because if he had a problem with drugs, he should have gone to them for support. 'They would have supported him. Forget the Liverpool stuff – that's bantering in a pub. I have been guilty of it with friends in the past. 'Unfortunately, now, with recording devices and stuff, the world's changed but we've all been in the pub and had a bit of banter about football. I have probably said things about managers and players. 'I am not sure that was a career-ending moment for him. It was the drug issue, certainly in high-profile matches. 'Coote allowed that to come out without any mechanism in place. I think that's where his career became difficult.' Clattenburg, who has refereed nearly 400 Premier League matches and the 2016 Champions League final, said he had some sympathy for Coote after the video surfaced. 'As a referee, if you don't speak a little bit – they call you arrogant', Clattenburg said. 'When you're out, you always try to manage situations – people are always asking what such and such is like. 'You try and make a joke out of it – but with jokes nowadays, nobody knows what level you're actually having that joke at.' Co-host Ladyman shared Clattenburg's sympathy for Coote but said the video did the 'whole refereeing community a huge disservice' by fuelling fans' suspicions about bias in officiating. Doorbell footage originally shared by The Sun showed Coote working as a delivery driver as he serves out his 16-month suspension from football. The original Klopp video was allegedly recorded back in 2020 after Liverpool's controversial 1-1 draw against Burnley, which saw Andy Robertson angrily confront the English referee after not being awarded a penalty. 'So many people out there in the weird world we live in now are conspiracy theorists', Ladyman said. 'Football supporters these days are convinced that referees are genuinely acting against their club. What Coote did played to that. 'It gave substance to the lunatic fringe and their theories - it gave them credibility.' To listen to the first episode of the brand new Daily Mail series, where Mark Clattenburg sensationally admits to the existence of 'Fergie time', search Whistleblowers now, wherever you get your podcasts. You can also watch on YouTube. New episodes are released every Thursday.
