'He gave everything' - Clement hails Tavernier's impact
Former Rangers manager Philippe Clement has heaped praise on captain James Tavernier for the impact he has had in his decade at the club.
The right-back has lifted all three domestic trophies, playing 513 times while contributing 130 goals - a record for a British defender - and 142 assists.

Nonetheless, the 33-year-old has often been a target for supporter ire as Rangers have commonly lost out to Celtic in the battle for silverware during his time at Ibrox.
"If you're a captain in a winning team then you're an amazing captain," Clement told BBC Scotland. "If you're a captain in a losing team you're not a good captain.
"That's life of being a captain or being a manager in that sense for fans. It's not an easy job, but [Tavernier] got used to it in a way and gave his best.
"He gave everything for the club and he tried to help all the players adapt to the environment of Rangers and what fans are expecting of the players."

What Lessons Can Germany Learn From The UEFA Nations League Finals?
The UEFA Nations League finals in Munich and Stuttgart have ended in disappointment for hosts Germany. After losing the semifinal 2-1 to Portugal on Wednesday, Germany fell 2-0 to France in front of 51,313 spectators at the MHPArena in the third-place final thanks to goals by Kylian Mbappé (45') and Michael Olise (84'). It is the first time Germany has lost two games in a row in the Julian Nagelsmann era since November 2023, when his team were defeated by Türkiye (3-2) and Austria (2-0). Granted, the level of opponents was different this time around, but still, there is a risk this could be considered a setback. Perhaps it is best to view the two games separately. The performance against Portugal was, without a doubt, the worst since November 2023. Germany had a few good moments, took the lead, and then, after Nagelsmann made the changes, stopped playing football. Against France, it was a bit different. Germany completely dominated the guests in the first half, and it was only thanks to a brilliant moment by Mbappé that France took the lead into halftime. "We talked a lot about the first game,' national team captain Joshua Kimmich said after the game. 'I think we showed what we're capable of in the first half today, that we're able to react.' So, what was missing? 'We simply weren't good enough in front of the goal,' Kimmich said, but then he quickly urged the public not to overreact. 'Overall, we simply can't lose patience so quickly.' Nick Woltemade, Pascal Groß (both 2'), then Niclas Füllkrug and Leon Goretzka (5') tested Mike Maignan early on. Finally, in the sixth minute, Karim Adeyemi forced a fantastic save from Maignan as well. Adeyemi then had a penalty overturned in the 35th minute. And France? In the 43rd minute, Mbappé had his first good moment in the box and scored with a fantastic, curled effort. It was a brilliant individual moment that highlighted the difference between the two teams. Our attacking players like Karim Adeyemi and Nick Woltemade still need to mature at this level; unfortunately, our finishing quality wasn't good today,' Nagelsmann said after the game. 'We must create chances, but we also have to finish them.' Still, Nagelsmann believed that more was possible on Sunday. "Given the chances and the course of the game, France's win was undeserved,' Nagelsmann said. 'We should have taken the lead based on our chances, but we have to put the ball over the line ourselves.' Is Nagelsmann right? Germany certainly had long sequences in which they were better. Die Nationalmannschaft also had 56% possession, had an xG of 2.55 compared to France's 2.33, and fired 20 to 15 shots on goal. Germany was also unlucky that Deniz Undav's equalizer was called back—an argument can be made that Füllkrug, who was bleeding out of his mouth, was fouled by Adrien Rabiot and not the other way around. All that doesn't matter; unlike previous national team encounters between the two nations, it was France who was more efficient with its chances. An issue that already plagued Die Nationalmannschaft against Portugal on Wednesday. So, what is the fix? 'In the end, you have to win against a top team when you create so many chances,' Nagelsmann said. 'We played very attractively and created many chances. But part of football is also taking advantage of those chances.' The Nations League certainly has the potential to get there. Woltemade, especially, is a striker with enormous potential. But he also showed that he needs more experience at this level. The same can be said about Adeyemi. There is also the good news that two of Germany's most dangerous players weren't available: Jamal Musiala and Kai Havertz. Florian Wirtz, in particular, seemed ineffective at times without his congenial partner Musiala in the attack. Indeed, the Bayern forward might not be as impactful as Wirtz, but he is more chaotic, and that was lacking for Germany this week.

Nagelsmann upbeat despite France defeat: Good for the overall feeling
Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann is pictured during the UEFA Nations League soccer match between Germany and France at Stuttgart Arena. Federico Gambarini/dpa Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann entered the Nations League finals with the intention to deliver a first title since 2017 but then refused to be too downcast after it all went up in smoke. Nagelsmann rather wanted to see the positives from a 2-0 defeat against France in Sunday's match for third place, which came on the heels of a 2-1 semi-final loss against Portugal. Advertisement While the team lacked in almost every aspect on Wednesday in Munich, there was determination and some creativity in Stuttgart where they were however too wasteful, especially in the opening minutes. "The game did us good as far as the overall feeling is concerned, but the result obviously not," Nagelsmann told broadcasters RTL. Looking at World Cup qualifying against Slovakia, Northern Ireland and Luxembourg in autumn, he said: "If we are ready not to invest less than today in the qualifiers then we will win the games." Nagelsmann highlighted that "we showed that we can create chances against top teams despite missing several players" while also conceding that "we must score against such top teams." Advertisement Germany were missing the likes of centre back Antonio Rüdiger, creative Jamal Musiala and forward Kai Havertz for the mini tournament. Nick Woltemade, Karim Adeyemi, Pascal Gross and Niclas Füllkrug had top early chances, and Florian Wirtz hit the post, before France captain Kylian Mbappé scored just before half-time and then set up Michael Olise late on for the second. Germany also had to swallow two video review decisions against them when a penalty call and a goal were nullified. France however could have also scored more in the second half as Nagelsmann admitted "we wanted to force things." Advertisement Captain Joshua Kimmich said: "If you look at the first half, I think we should have been 3-0 up after six minutes. In the second half we lost patience." Germany lost two games in a row for the first time since the early days of Nagelsmann's reign when they were beaten by Turkey and Austria in November 2023. The team has made huge progress since then, with their only defeat prior to this week coming against eventual champions Spain in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals. The Nations League shows that Germany may not have enough depth like other big teams and that a 100% effort is required in every match against such high quality opponents. Advertisement The Bild paper said on its website that "many question marks remain ahead of the 2026 World Cup", where four-time champions Germany are desperate to do better than in their group stage exits in 2018 and 2022. "Are we perhaps not able to match the real top teams?" Bild asked, while for Kicker sports magazine this is a fact: "A lot is missing from the world's best."

Liverpool confirm agreement to REPLACE fan favourite
One of the big factors why Kelleher was regarded as such a brilliant no.2 was because he was able to come in and replace Alisson in the Brazilian's absence. Kelleher was able to do this due to his composure on the ball and brilliant reflexes. Advertisement His composure on the ball came from playing as a striker in Ireland until the age of 13-years-old, when he switched into playing as a goalkeeper instead. 'He was a very good centre-forward and represented his county in that position," Eddie Harrington told the Liverpool ECHO back in 2022. 'He only went in goal at Under-14s level and that was only about seven years ago. That's a massive transition. We taught him to pass it out from the back but he probably had the footwork from being an outfielder," Harrington continued. Now Liverpool are about to sign a player very similar to Kelleher, who went through the same journey at around the same age. Advertisement The Reds have confirmed the arrival of Armin Pecsi from Puskas Akademia. Like Kelleher, he is a brilliant shot-stopper with great reflexes, who prevented 14.33 goals in the Hungarian top flight last season. But even more interestingly, like Kelleher, Pecsi also played as a forward at a younger age and learned the foundations of the game as an outfielder before switching to become a goalkeeper. "For a long time I played up front, I also played in goal, but I preferred to play as a striker," Pecsi told FEOL. "Even at the age of maybe 11 or 12, I was still playing in both striker and goalkeeper," he continued. Advertisement "Then there came a point when I was told it would be good to decide which I wanted to do, and I decided to stay in goal and continue there. I decided on my own." In this sense, Liverpool might have just signed their Kelleher 2.0 and have already replaced the beloved fan favourite at Anfield in the matter of days. All for the paltry sum of £1.5m, Anfield Watch understands. There's no denying this is the perfect deal.
