Gordon relishing Motherwell's new philosophy under Berthel Askou
Motherwell defender Liam Gordon is enjoying the added responsibility in possession as the Steelmen bid to transfer new manager Jens Berthel Askou's philosophy into results. The Dane encourages his goalkeeper and centre-backs to build play from the back and made a marked difference to Motherwell's tactics during their Premier Sports Cup group campaign. Speaking ahead of Saturday's William Hill Premiership opener against Rangers, central defender Gordon said: 'There's obviously different methods, but I've always backed myself to do that side of the game. 'You sometimes play in formations and under managers that don't want it, so then you obviously just need to look at the other side and do what they want. 'But this manager has obviously come in and expressed himself to us, what he wants from us and how he wants us to do it. 'I think we've got a good squad here that can take that on board and can go and produce on the pitch. 'For me it's obviously a bit different in terms of maybe a bit more possession-based stuff in the build-up and the defending side of things, but that's something that we're all relishing and something that I'm enjoying to be part of and something a wee bit different than what we've been doing recently.' The arrival of talented ball players such as Elijah Just, Lukas Fadinger and Ibrahim Said has also given Motherwell's build-up play a different dimension in the opposition half. 'You can see some of the passages of play as we've had in the games, especially in the forward areas, it's been really good to watch,' Gordon said. 'It's been great to be a part of seeing that happening in the attacking third. Probably an area that we kind of just fell a bit short last year. 'So obviously having AP (Apostolos Stamatelopoulos) back fit, (Callum) Slattery in the form he's in and JT (Tawanda Maswanhise) as well, and then obviously new guys coming and adding to that, it's been really good. 'It's been really enjoyable but obviously the games are now coming so you need to get the results on the board as well because we all know how that goes, so hopefully it's the best of both worlds.' Askou's early progress will be tested against a Rangers side who began life under Russell Martin with a 3-1 aggregate win over Panathinaikos in the Champions League qualifiers. Former St Johnstone captain Gordon said: 'It's a good game for us to test ourselves against the best players in the league, that's what you want. It's on the TV, you couldn't ask for much more from a player's point of view. 'But we know what Rangers are going to turn up and we know how good they are. They just came through two legs with Panathinaikos and we all know how good a team they are so it just shows you the task at hand. 'But it's one that we're not going to shy away from, it's one that we're going to step forward and we're going to really look to embrace.'

Dele Alli, 29, left out of Como squad and 'considering retirement' less than four years after leaving Tottenham
The footballing journey of Dele Alli has taken another sad twist, with the former England international reportedly contemplating retirement after being left out of Como's pre-season plans ahead of the new Serie A campaign. Dele, 29, joined the ambitious Italian side in January on an 18-month deal with the option of a further year, but his future in the game is now in serious doubt after a dramatic decline in fortunes. Once regarded as one of Europe's brightest midfielders, the former Tottenham star has struggled to rediscover his form and fitness in recent years. His most recent setback came in March when he was sent off just nine minutes into his long-awaited Serie A debut for Como in a clash against AC Milan at San Siro — his first competitive appearance in more than two years. The red card, shown following a VAR review after a foul on Ruben Loftus-Cheek, drew a furious reaction from Como boss Cesc Fabregas and marked a turning point in Dele's brief Italian adventure. He has since fallen out of favour and, despite returning to training after injury, has not been included in Fabregas' first-team plans for the 2025–26 season. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the midfielder is now seriously considering retirement, less than four years after he left Tottenham in January 2022. The Italian outlet claims Dele has been training separately from the senior squad alongside other out-of-favour players and is weighing up whether it is time to walk away from the game for good. It marks a sobering chapter in a career once full of promise. Dele burst onto the scene at Spurs under Mauricio Pochettino and enjoyed a remarkable 2016–17 season, scoring 22 goals in all competitions and establishing himself as one of the most exciting young midfielders in Europe. He later played a key role in Tottenham's run to the Champions League final in 2019 and earned 37 caps for England, including appearances at the 2018 World Cup. But a string of injuries, loss of form and off-field struggles derailed his rise. His spell at Everton yielded little, and a loan move to Turkish side Besiktas in 2022 also ended without success after a serious groin injury sidelined him for almost a year. Dele spoke candidly last year about his traumatic childhood, revealing in an emotional interview that he had been molested at the age of six, started smoking and dealing drugs by eight, and had attempted to take his own life during his darkest moments. His move to Como was seen as a fresh start — a chance to relaunch his career in a more serene setting under the guidance of Fabregas. Early signs were promising as he impressed in training camps and looked sharp following the winter break. But the sending-off against Milan proved costly, and his time in Italy has since unravelled. Dele still has a year left on his contract with Como, but it remains to be seen whether he will play again. As things stand, one of English football's great early hopes faces the very real prospect of hanging up his boots before his 30th birthday.
