Former Southampton manager Russell Martin confirmed as new Rangers boss
Martin, who played 29 times for Scotland and made 17 appearances for Rangers during a loan spell in the 2017-18 season, returns to management for the first time since he was sacked by Premier League club Southampton in December. The 39-year-old took charge of Southampton in 2023 and guided them to promotion via the playoffs in his first season at the club, earning plaudits for his side's attractive style of football. They were brutally exposed in the top flight, however, losing 13 of their opening 16 games and going on to suffer the earliest relegation from the Premier League with seven games left in the season. "From my time here, I had a taste of how special this club is, the expectation, the passion and the history," Martin, who has also coached Swansea City and MK Dons, said in a statement. "Now, as I return, I'm determined to bring success back, for the supporters, the players, and everyone inside this club. "There's a lot to be done, but the goal is clear: win matches, win trophies, and give Rangers fans a team that they can be proud of. We want to play with bravery, to take the ball, to be aggressive, and to stand up in the big moments." Rangers, who were taken over by an American consortium of investors led by Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises in May, finished their domestic campaign second behind rivals Celtic for the fourth consecutive year, last winning the league in 2020-21. Rangers will enter Champions League qualifying in the second round.

Newcastle confirm first summer signing after pipping Barcelona, Real Madrid and Porto to Spanish wonderkid
NEWCASTLE have confirmed the signing of Spanish wonderkid Antonio Cordero.

Cordero said: "It's truly an honour to be here, truly a pleasure. I am a person who likes to aspire high. Why not come to one of the best places in the world to do it. 'It's a big step, and that's one of the reasons I'm here. I'm happy to do it and have a great desire to get going already.'

He said: "From the outside, it seems easy, but then it requires certain circumstances to make sense of everything - salary caps and other issues. It's up to the club to talk about it." Cordero scored his first senior goal for the Andalusian giants in June 2024, bagging a last-gasp equaliser in a play-off final second leg to fire Malaga back in to the Segunda Division. Upon confirmation of the signing, Newcastle sporting director Paul Mitchell said: "Antonio is an exciting talent. We're delighted to bring him to Newcastle United amidst interest in Spain and across Europe.

Mushroom poisoning accused tells court she lied to police as she feared being held responsible
AN AUSTRALIAN WOMAN accused of murdering three people with poisonous mushrooms has told a court she lied to police because she feared being held 'responsible'. Erin Patterson is charged with murdering her estranged husband's parents and aunt in 2023 by spiking their beef Wellington lunch with lethal death cap mushrooms. She is also accused of attempting to murder a fourth guest — her husband's uncle — who survived after a long stay in hospital. Patterson maintains the lunch was poisoned by accident and has pleaded not guilty to all charges. An Australian court was told today how Patterson used a food dehydrator to prepare mushrooms that she had collected while foraging. Patterson later told police she did not own a food dehydrator, the prosecution said. 'You lied about dehydrating food and mushrooms because you knew that if you told police the truth, then that would implicate you in the poisoned lunch,' prosecution lawyer Nanette Rogers said. 'Agree or disagree?' Patterson responded: 'I agree that I lied because I was afraid I would be held responsible.' The court previously heard that Patterson used a food dehydrator to preserve store-bought and foraged mushrooms, which she then kept in her pantry. Days after the deadly lunch, security cameras allegedly captured Patterson discarding the dehydrator at a local rubbish dump. Detectives said they found traces of death cap mushrooms in the dehydrator, the court previously heard. Advertisement 'I didn't deliberately put death cap mushrooms in the meal,' Patterson told the court. The prosecution alleges Patterson intentionally poisoned her lunch guests and took care that she did not consume the deadly mushrooms herself. Her defence says Patterson ate the same meal as the others but did not fall as sick. Beef Wellington Patterson asked her estranged husband Simon to the family lunch at her secluded rural Victoria home in July 2023. Simon turned down the invitation because he felt too uncomfortable, the court heard previously. The pair were long estranged but still legally married. Simon's parents Don and Gail were happy to attend, dying days after eating the home-cooked meal. Simon's aunt Heather Wilkinson also died, while her husband Ian fell seriously ill but later recovered. Patterson told the court today if Simon had attended the lunch, she would have 'given him a beef Wellington too'. 'But not one with death cap mushrooms in it intentionally,' she said. Patterson's defence lawyer Colin Mandy asked if she intended to kill or cause serious injury to her lunch guests that day. Patterson replied she did not. © AFP 2025
