'How times change, eh?' - Adams goes from Colts and law degree to Premiership
Falkirk's Keeland Adams made his Scottish Premiership debut this weekend, completing a whirlwind journey from Cumbernauld played an important role in the opener and then assisted Ethan Ross for the Bairns' second on their top-flight return after 15 years."I think it was exciting, especially at the end, it was a bit end-to-end," the 23-year-old told BBC Scotland. "I think maybe the draw was deserved, maybe we had the edge. But I thought it was good. "That's part of my game, just trying to get up, create goals, then try and nip in with goals as well, but yeah, I'll go up and down that flank all day if I can."Falkirk signed Adams in early 2024 from Cumbernauld Colts, before finishing the 2023/24 season on loan at the also put a law degree on hold to continue playing football, a decision he says was the right one."It was a bit surreal," Adams said on making his top-flight debut just over a year after he played for the Colts."It didn't really hit me until probably this week on our day off."But yeah, just trying to take it in my stride and take game by game and just keep focusing on myself."100% right [to put degree on hold], how times change, eh?"

Raheem Sterling leads list of NINE Chelsea players banished from Blues' website as full 47-man squad revealed
RAHEEM STERLING heads a list of NINE Chelsea players who are out of the first-team picture - literally. The former England international, 30, and eight other stars do not even have a profile or photo in the first-team section of the Blues' official website. 4 4 The clock is ticking for Chelsea to find new homes for unwanted players after Sterling and others were joined on Monday by players returning after time off following the Club World Cup. The Blues have been on another big spending spree this summer, with £60million Joao Pedro among a number of signings that have swollen the current first-team squad to an incredible 47 players. Stamford Bridge chiefs are close to selling striker Armando Broja and midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu - two of the players who do not appear on the website - to Burnley. But in addition to Academy graduates Broja and Alfie Gilchrist, there are seven players including Ugochukwu who cost Chelsea a combined total of more than £200m who have no profile on the website - despite still officially being at the club. Even among the 31 players who ARE listed as first-teamers by Chelsea, there are big names like Christopher Nkunku who could yet find themselves leaving before the transfer window closes on September 1. Ukrainian winger Mykhailo Mudryk, who is facing a ban for failings a drugs test, DOES still have a profile pic - albeit wearing last season's kit. Add in the six players already sent out on loan, and the Blues have a huge number of players - and agents - to juggle. And that's before they make further signings, with both RB Leipzig's Xavi Simons and Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho still in their sights. Sterling, signed from Manchester City for £47.5m in 2022, and fellow former England star Ben Chilwell, a £50m arrival from Leicester in 2020, have been frozen out for more than a year. Sterling sealed an 11th-hour loan move to Arsenal last summer. Chilwell and Axel Disasi, a £38m signing from Monaco in 2023, spent the second half of the season on temporary deals at Crystal Palace and Aston Villa respectively. Midfielder Carney Chuwuemeka came from Villa in 2022 for an initial £15m and has returned to the training ground after spending six months at Borussia Dortmund. Likewise midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu, a £23.5m signing from Strasbourg in 2023, is into his third week working at Cobham after coming back from a season-long stay at Southampton. Of the Chelsea players who went out on loan last season, Renato Veiga probably did the most to enhance his value, during a six-month spell at Juventus. But the Portugal international, whose proposed big money move to Atletico Madrid appears to have collapsed, did not do enough to earn a spot on the Blues' website. The same applies to forgotten Ivorian forward David Datro Fofana. 4 The £10.5m signing from Molde in January 2023 returned early from a loan at Turkish club Goztepe last season after suffering a significant injury. DDF has been back training for a while but is another player on his way out at Chelsea. Club bosses have plenty to do to make sure Maresca has a squad of a manageable size. Former Blues boss Graham Potter revealed he had so many players at one point that some of them had to sit on the floor for team meetings.

We believe he has the potential to be a very good player for this club in the future."
