What time are Premier League fixtures released today? Match dates for 2025-26 season to be confirmed
It has already been a big summer in terms of transfers with two windows being in place. But arguably the biggest change has come in the form of Thomas Frank leaving Brentford to become the new Tottenham head coach after Ange Postecoglou was sacked despite leading the club to Europa League glory last season.

Rangers fanatic riles Celtic punters on Hotline as diehard told hollow derby boast proves wee team mentality
The season has yet to get started in Scotland but already Rangers and Celtic fans are already at each others throats. Brendan Rodgers' men eased to the Premiership title last term but it is a new era at Ibrox with the 49ers in position and Russell Martin now in the dugout. There is some renewed optimism on the Blue side of Glasgow but Hotline caller Donald Dundas has found himself in the firing line over his comments, where he highlighted the fact Rangers had taken seven points from Old Firm derby games last season in response to a Celtic fan branding Rangers a failing minor soccer club Sean McGarvey, Cumbernauld said: "Deary, deary me. It seems mediocrity has truly set in the Rangers supporters' mindset if Donald Dundas is a sample. Seven points? "That's cute. Try 92 points, Donald, the only number that matters. Still, at least you have won a couple after you sacked your manager for being garbage and we were on cruise control. Round of applause." Glen Mitchell emailed: "In response to David Dundas' reference on his failing minor soccer club. That's what your current club now is. "Winning games with little importance is the key indicator, you need to win when its meaningful, otherwise you are no better than any of our other SPFL rivals, who can beat us now and again. "Check the trophy cabinet next time first, if you know what that actually is. It's all about winning trophies, not the odd bragging right." Pre-season is still to get underway at Rangers, but Martin now knows who he will face in his first competitive fixture as boss after being paired with Panathinaikos in the Champions League second qualifying round. The Greek giants were one of three on offer to the Light Blues with SK Brann and Servette the others they could have faced. Scott Gowers, Edinburgh, said: "Although Rangers have punched above their weight in Europe, I have noticed that when a European draw is made, Rangers always get the hardest possible draw. "Look at the Champions League group they were in when they last featured and last season with the Europa League draw, where many of the teams they faced had a better coefficient than that of which Celtic faced in the Champions League. I'm not in any way trying to mock Celtic there. "Rangers could have faced any of only three clubs for some reason, and lo and behold, the team with the best coefficient out of the three is who Rangers face. "Why is it when any smaller nation gets a team progressing up the coefficient, are the formats changed?, I shouldn't have said why as the answer is quite simple. The biased system ensuring the bigger nations always get guaranteed coefficient points as it makes UEFA more money." Nico Raskin has been in the headlines recently with Kyle Lafferty telling the Ibrox club they need to build the new era team around the Belgian. He's also earned rave reviews on the international stage from his Belgium boss, but being billed a 'mainstay' in the Red Devils' side has irked one caller. Cameron Hall, Edinburgh said: "Saying Nico Raskin has established himself as a 'mainstay' of the Belgium national side is like saying George Hirst has established himself as a mainstay of the Scotland team. "Raskin has played for Belgium four times, two of which were as a late sub. If Raskin is a mainstay then what is Kevin De Bruyne?" Lennon Miller is another who is dominating conversations, and he is likely to make a mega-money move from Motherwell this summer. He's now a full international with Scotland and has clubs from England, Italy and Germany chasing his signature. Celtic and Rangers have both regularly been told to make a move by ex-pros and pundits alike for the talented teen. Ross McCormack branded him 'perfect' for Brendan Rodgers' side but revealed the reason why he wouldn't make the move to Parkhead and it seems his theory is also shared on the Hotline. Stephen Mulhern, Dumbarton said: "I don't have any doubt that Lennon Miller could be as successful as former players Tom Boyd Scott McDonald and Phil O'Donnell but I believe the deciding factor remains that if Reo Hatate leaves which means Miller would play on a regular basis. Miller is too huge a talent to sit on the bench and Brendan Rodgers won't pay top dollar for him to do just that" The Club World Cup is underway and Bayern's 10-0 hammering of Auckland City has gone global. Hotline regular Gary Stevenson questioned the standard on show if the outfit from New Zealand are getting to compete and touted the likes of Slovan Bratislava and Dinamo Zagreb for the next edition of the tournament. But that went down like a lead balloon with one caller touting QUEEN'S PARK.

Man Utd chief who has earned the club £100m quits to join Premier League rivals
Academy chief Nick Cox is set to join Everton to oversee first-team recruitment having overseen period at Man Utd's academy where sales of young players is estimated at £100m Manchester United are poised to lose academy chief Nick Cox to Everton in a further blow. The Merseyside club are in advanced talks to appoint Cox as their new technical director with a deal expected to be completed imminently. Cox has been in charge of United's academy since 2019, a spell that has seen more than two dozen players including Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo graduate to first team debuts, while a host of young players developed under his watch have been sold on for an estimated £100m in profit. Cox moved to United in 2016 after spells in the academies at Watford and Sheffield United. But he is now set to make the leap to first-team football and would oversee recruitment during an exciting period at Everton. He will remain at United until a replacement is found and despite Cox's amicable departure, a hectic summer is expected at Old Trafford on the recruitment front. It has already begun following Matheus Cunha's £62.5m arrival from Wolves, while Eintracht Frankfurt forward Hugo Ekitike and Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo remain high on the wishlist. Yet United have been clear for months that outgoings are a must to fund new arrivals and there is still no clarity on where Marcus Rashford, Antony, Garnacho and several others will be playing once the recruitment window closes on September 1. None of those are in head coach Ruben Amorim's plans. Senior men Christian Eriksen , Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof are to be joined by Hubert Graczyk , Jack Kingdon , Sam Murray , Tom Myles , James Nolan and Tom Wooster in being released at the end of their contracts on June 30. The entire squad is available for the right price but there are several who clearly have no roles to play under Amorim. Rashford shone in parts while on loan at Aston Villa and has been linked with a switch to Barcelona but only a select few clubs can afford his £1m a month salary. Similar is true of Antony, who did well at Real Betis. Except the La Liga club cannot afford the Brazilian's wages either. Garnacho, meanwhile, was supposedly told to find a new club after a row because he was left on the bench for much of the nightmare Europa League defeat to Tottenham last month. Veteran midfielder Casemiro is welcome to find a new club, so too flop striker Rasmus Hojlund because he is yet to adapt after two full seasons up front.

Yesterday 01:45 PM When are the matches? The first leg will be on July 10, with the return fixture a week later on July 17. Yesterday 01:30 PM How will this draw work? In short, very differently to the Champions League draw. Each Group is split into eight teams, four seeded and four unseeded. Each team is assigned a number within each Group - for instance, Larne are No.3 in Group 4 and Cliftonville are No.5 in Group 5. Rather than draw each individual group, which would take a lifetime, all eight groups will be drawn at once by having eight individually numbered balls placed in a bowl and drawn two at a time to create each tie, with the team drawn first at home in the first leg. So, for instance, if ball No.3 was drawn first followed by ball No.5, then every team assigned No.3 in each Group would play each team assigned No.5 in the same Group, with team No.3 hosting the first leg. Hopefully that clears things up!
