Celtic hero urges Hoops to sign Premier League striker
The 32-year-old is a free agent after leaving another of McAvennie's old clubs, West Ham, and has been mentioned as one the Hoops could potentially look at. He previously played under Rodgers at Liverpool and the Northern Irishman is believed to be keen on beefing up his centre forward options. McAvennie is a big fan and reckons Ings would finally be a replacement for Kyogo, who left in January. The pundit believes Adam Idah has a big future for Celts but isn't ready to play all of the time, while he prefers to see Daizen Maeda used wide. Read more: Speaking to on the Let Me Be Frank podcast, he said: "He would be a great signing for Celtic. We never replaced Kyogo. They haven't replaced him. "Adam Idah is learning. I think he is going to be a wonderful player. Not near the finished article yet. But he is a great player. Looks like an honest boy. "I think so (there is a future for Idah at Celtic). See if you sign someone like Danny Ings. Danny won't play every game, which will mean Adam will come in. "And I don't want to play Maeda through the middle. I think he is better on the wing, although he scores a lot of goals. I think he is better out there. He terrifies people. "Danny Ings would come in and play, even if he played an hour. Get Adam on, that's the way it's going to be."

Spurs yet to approach Brentford over taking Thomas Frank as Mauricio Pochettino rules himself out of return to London
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BRENTFORD are yet to hear from Tottenham over Thomas Frank, while Mauricio Pochettino has taken himself out of contention for a return to North London. Spurs have made Dane Frank their top target to succeed Ange Postecoglou and are expected to make their move this week. 4 Thomas Frank is Tottenham's top target to take over as manager Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 4 Ange Postecoglou was sacked this week Credit: Getty They reached out to Frank's representatives while Europa League-winning chief Postecoglou was still in his job. But SunSport understands there is still yet to be contact between the two clubs. Frank has a pricey release clause - though it is believed to be less than the £10million mooted - and it remains to be seen if the Bees would be amenable to an offer below the set amount. The 51-year-old is understood to be interested in taking over from Postecoglou, who was sacked on Friday despite ending Spurs' 17-year trophy drought last month. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL GROUND BREAKING Premier League stadiums of the future with eight clubs splashing out £6bn Frank has worked wonders since taking charge at Brentford in 2018, winning them promotion and earning two top-ten finishes in the Premier League, including this season. He is currently the third longest-serving manager in the top four tiers of English football, behind Simon Weaver of Harrogate Town and Manchester City icon Pep Guardiola. Ex-Brondby boss Frank and Spurs' technical director Johan Lange go way back, having shared an office together when coaching at Copenhagen-based side Lyngby two decades ago. Should Spurs manage to hire Frank, it could see them hijack Manchester United's move for Bryan Mbeumo. 4 Tottenham could hijack Man Utd's move for Bryan Mbeumo is Frank arrives as boss CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS The Cameroonian, who has also been a target for Newcastle, has just had his best season ever, netting 20 Premier League goals. Ipswich chief Kieran McKenna would be a leading contender to take over from Frank if a vacancy arises in West London. BBC star shares shock theory as to why Tottenham waited exactly 16 days after Europa League win to sack Ange Postecoglou But SunSport understands the ex-Spurs academy coach would not be the only name in the frame. Fulham boss Marco Silva has also been considered by Spurs as a possible target, but has fallen behind Frank in the order of preference. An emotional return for USA manager Mauricio Pochettino had been suggested, but the Spurs hero has now ruled out making it happen - claiming a summer move is "not realistic". Poch, who took Spurs to the Champions League final during a five-year spell as boss between 2014 and 2019, is currently tied down to a contract as boss of the US national team. The Argentine, 53, is just a year away from the World Cup which takes place in the States, Canada and Mexico, and had been tasked with leading the US to glory. Rubbishing the idea of a return to Spurs, Poch said: 'After I left in 2019, every time that I was free, and the place of the position of the manager or head coach in Tottenham Hotspur, my name is appearing on the list. 'If you have seen the rumours, I think there are 100 coaches in the list. I think, don't be worried about that. 'If something happened, for sure you will see, but we cannot talk about this type of thing, because I think today, it's not real. 'It's not realistic. Look at where I am, where we are. And the thing is, the answer is so clear, no? But we're talking about it because it's my club, like Newells or Espanyol.'

Former Hibs player turns life around after drunken Edinburgh incident he won't forget
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Footballer Victor Palsson was banned from every nightclub in Edinburgh when he was a Hibs player after a drunken incident, but the athlete has since turned his life around. The Icelander was caught urinating against a wall, which resulted in a blanket ban. But after quitting the booze, Palsson got his career back on track. The former Liverpool player has enjoyed a career which has taken him from New York to Holland, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium - and now Plymouth. He spent a stint in the capital with the Hibees in 2011, which he says was a life-changing experience, reports the Sunday Mail. The 34-year-old said: 'It was a very long time ago. I was a young lost boy back then. 'Looking back, I was young and not really aware of the importance of life and being a professional footballer. I made a lot of mistakes, especially at Hibs. It started off OK but then it wasn't good. 'I didn't leave in a good way either, so I think my time there is remembered for the wrong things. There was a big incident, a six month ban from all the nightclubs. But as I said, I was lost. 'It helped me focus, 100 percent. A few years later I made some big decisions to sort out my life. I'm happy I did that. I gave up drinking. The time at Hibs played a part in that. 'I just couldn't handle my drinking. I gave it up and haven't had a drink for almost 11 years now. I had to focus and I've managed to make a decent career.' Palsson is now at Plymouth Argyle who were relegated from the English Championship last season. That was despite the efforts of Scottish striker Ryan Hardie, who bagged 12 goals for the Pilgrims. And Palsson insists he could play for Scotland. He said: 'Ryan is a really good player and I hope we can hold on to him. 'For two years, he's hit double figure goals in the Championship. He talks to us about Scotland. He's a great professional who wants to play for his country and I think he's done enough to get a chance - even in a friendly. 'Hopefully we'll see him play for Scotland in the future. Ryan is a great finisher and so quick. He's rapid.' Palsson, along with his Iceland team-mates, left Scotland looking punch drunk at Hampden on Friday night as they secured a 3-1 friendly win. Iceland fully deserved their shock win over Clarke's men at Hampden on Friday night - even if they were helped by mistakes from rookie keeper Ciaran Slicker. Palsson was delighted with the result and admits they took advantage of the goalie's fragility. He said: 'We played some great football in the first half and didn't give away many chances. We suffered a bit in the second half but overall it was a fair win. 'I try to put myself in the shoes of the young goalkeeper. He came on after two minutes and we could see with his first few kicks, he wasn't 100 percent. 'We just started pressing him and it gave us blood on the teeth. We heard the crowd boo at half-time so we just said, keep doing what we're doing. It was a good win for us.'
