Ex-Celtic hero appoints former Aberdeen boss as assistant

The 49-year-old returned to management at USL Championship club Memphis 901, but the club folded last year.
Now he's been handed the opportunity to be assistant manager to former Celtic loan striker and Ireland legend Keane, who led Ferencvaros to the Hungarian title and will play in the Champions League this upcoming season.
Glass said: "When Robbie called me, I looked at the club closely. I was already well aware of the history of Ferencvaros, even coming from Scotland.
"They are a famous club and I have been given this opportunity to help the club do better.
"We have big games coming up in the Champions League and we are hoping to win another title too.
"The city is beautiful, the people have been very friendly and I am happy to be here and the club have been so welcoming.
"I actually played here over 30 years ago for a Scotland Under 21s game and scored!
"I know we have to win and I am here to help Robbie as much as possible."
And 146-times capped Keane is looking forward to working with Glass, who replaced his former No.2 Rory Delap who returned to England for family reasons.
He added: "Stephen is very experienced and he's been around for a long time. He's been a manager and knows the game inside out.
"He's very good with people, which is really important. He'll be great to be around.
"His knowledge of football is very high and I am looking forward to working with him."

Zander Murray hosts community dinner at Glasgow hotel
Zander Murray will be hosting a community dinner at The Social Hub on July 17. It will celebrate connection, collaboration, and creativity. He also led a Lunch & Learn session at the venue on Wednesday, June 25, sharing his personal journey and calling for greater visibility and representation in sport. Read more: Celtic receive €2m transfer offer for out-of-favour defender Major supermarket chain hiring for new roles across Glasgow The Lunch & Learn event is part of The Social Hub's week-long Pride Hub programme. Zander, who came out publicly in 2022 during his playing career, said: "In a city that means so much to me, this kind of event matters. "It's not just about being seen. It's about being heard." A former striker for Gala Fairydean Rovers, Zander made headlines after a Facebook post changed the course of his life. The 33-year-old said: "I was just sitting on a balcony in Benidorm, no Instagram, no Twitter, just me thinking, I'm finally ready. "So I made this wee post for the lads on my team. Fell asleep. Woke up to messages from Lorraine Kelly. "I'm like, what the f*** is going on? "I was literally told to get a flight to London to be on her show. It was insane. 'I didn't play higher because I hated myself. I had this idea that if I went to a big club, someone would dig up a camp photo, post it on a forum, and the abuse would start. 'You don't get slagged for missing a pass. They go for your sexuality. Twitter, TikTok, the comments. It's brutal. "And it messes with your head. You're already under pressure just being a footballer. Add all that, and it's too much.' Following his announcement, Zander became a vocal advocate for inclusivity in sport, delivering talks at schools, football academies, and corporate organisations, including UEFA and the Hong Kong Gay Games. He is also hosting a community dinner at The Social Hub on July 17. He said: "I go into rooms of young boys and ask three questions. "Who's heard homophobic language this month? In this club? Who's said it? "And after I tell my story, you can see the penny drop. "That moment is when things start to change." Zander said returning to Glasgow always hits differently. He said: "Any work in Glasgow means everything to me. "I don't have to slow my voice down. The crowds get it. "I'm from here. It's personal. I see my younger self in all of them."

Newcastle make Marcus Rashford transfer decision as £140m triple swoop eyed
Marcus Rashford has been put up for sale by Manchester United, having been loaned out for the second half of last season after falling out of favour under Ruben Amorim Newcastle have no plans to sign Marcus Rashford, instead prioritising a former Manchester United team-mate of his. Rashford, 27, is searching for a new club as his time at Old Trafford appears to be up. The England international was sent on loan to Aston Villa in January, with United manager Ruben Amorim making it clear that he was no longer part of his plans. Rashford scored four goals and registered five assists in 17 appearances for Villa, who weren't convinced him enough to trigger their £40million option to buy him permanently. That's still the amount which United are holding out for, with Rashford expected to return for pre-season training next month if no buyer is found. The forward's preference is to join Barcelona, even sending a come-get-me-plea last week. His brother and agent, Dwaine Maynard, was previously spotted meeting Barca sporting director Deco in Catalunya. Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has also described Rashford as a 'fantastic player'. But the La Liga champions are unlikely to cough up United's asking price, as they're currently prioritising the £50m signing of Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao. In light of Barcelona's stance, Newcastle emerged as alternative destination - although that, too, now looks like a dead end for the 27-year-old. The Sun report that Rashford isn't on Newcastle's list of targets. Magpies boss Eddie Howe wants to bolster his attack this summer, as they prepare to return to the Champions League. But Howe wants to sign ex-United winger Anthony Elanga, now of Nottingham Forest, as well as Brighton striker Joao Pedro. Their arrivals would part of a triple transfer swoop including Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford. Bournemouth wide man Antoine Semenyo and Villa's Jacob Ramsey are also on the Magpies' radar unlike Rashford. The United outcast will be hoping that Barca can find a way of signing him amid their precarious financial position. Should Newcastle have targeted Marcus Rashford? Have your say in the comments section. While on holiday in Marbella, Rashford was asked by Spanish YouTube channel XBuyer whether he wants to play alongside Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal. "Yeah, sure. Everybody in the world wants to play with the best," he replied. "So hopefully, we'll see." Rashford also enjoys life in Spain, adding: "Spain is nice, it's not too far from home. If I'm training over a long period, my family can come for a few days, it's a nice location and good weather."

Rangers star John Souttar trains with two ex-team-mates at sun-kissed location as he puts injury fears to rest after op
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RANGERS star John Souttar is putting fans' minds at ease after being spotted training with two former team-mates following his hernia operation. The 28-year-old went under the knife after the international break with Scotland earlier this month. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 2 Former Gers team-mates Souttar, Lawrence and Lundstram Credit: John Lundstram/Instagram 2 Lundstram and Souttar played together at Rangers Credit: Willie Vass He played in the friendly double-header against Iceland and Liechtenstein before having the surgery, amid reports he might not be ready to return for their first Champions League match in July. SunSport understood the player's availability for their crucial qualifier against Panathinaikos under new boss Russell Martin WASN'T in doubt. And here is the proof as he is spotted training with John Lundstram and Tom Lawrence at the plush high performance multi-sports hub Campus in Quinta Do lago in the Algarve. Rangers returned to pre-season on Monday, but the centre-back has been giving a little more time off before teaming up with the squad after his season finished later. The Ibrox club are set to play their first pre-season friendly against Club Brugge next Sunday (July 6) before a week's training down at St George's Park - the home of the England international team. They then have that massive game against Panathinaikos at Ibrox on July 22 followed by the return leg in Greece on July 30. Rangers added full-back Max Aarons to the squad this week as he became Martin's first summer signing and he was immediately put through his paces. Martin wants to assess every member of his squad before making a decision on whether they have a future at the club. That includes defender Ben Davies who spent last season on loan at Birmingham City and made 35 appearances for the League One champions. Kieran Dowell, who was also at Birmingham, is also being given a chance to impress. Sir Sean Connery's secret £1 MILLION investment in Rangers revealed And defender Robin Propper who looked like he was on his way to return to Holland is set to see whether he has future at Ibrox. Meanwhile, Rangers are monitoring Peterborough defender Emanuel Fernandez, according to reports. The trail has gone somewhat cold on fellow Posh team-mate Kwame Poku, but the Rangers Review claim there is strong interest in the 6ft 4in centre-back.
