Twente 'make enquiry' to Rangers for Robin Propper transfer
The Dutch stopper had an indifferent first season since his move from the Netherlands and although he ended up making 42 appearances in all competitions, he was never properly able to establish himself as first choice. Twente are desperate to bring him back to the club where he is regarded as a hero after captaining the side before he left for Glasgow.

Reports in his Dutch homeland have indicated Twente have now reached out to Rangers to see if they can do a cut-price deal for the 31-year-old, who helped get them into European football in his final season for the club.

Traces of cannabis found in Haribo Cola candy in the Netherlands
Haribo is recalling packs of sweets in the Netherlands after some were found to contain traces of cannabis. The Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Agency (NVWA) warned any potential customers of the 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) bags of Happy Cola F!ZZ not to eat the sweets because they may cause dizziness. NVWA spokesperson Saida Ahyad told French news agency AFP that, "Cannabis was found in the cola bottles in question." The NVWA also said the issue only concerns three bags so far but all stock has been recalled as a precaution, adding that it is working with authorities to investigate the cause of the contamination. Local Dutch media reported that a family in Twente became "quite ill" after eating the candy and reported the incident to police. After a forensic investigation, police discovered traces of cannabis and alerted the NVWA, according to the media reports. A Haribo spokesperson told CBS News sister network BBC News it was working with police to "establish the facts around the contamination." Haribo Vice-President of Marketing told AFP the incident is "a live issue and we are working closely with the Dutch authorities to support their investigation and establish the facts." The recall applies to the items under the production code L341-4002307906, with a best before date of January 2026.

Gustaf Lagerbielke to head back to Celtic after admission
The Hoops sent the Swedish back on loan to the Eredivisie side for the season with his first-team chances limited, playing just seven times in the Premiership the campaign before. Lagerbielke played 32 times as he helped Twente finish sixth in the Dutch top flight. Former technical director Arnold Bruggink admits it's unlikely he will be kept on, though.

That's what it looks like at the moment. "Two central defenders, one of whom has to be a real leader, as far as I'm concerned. "The profile you're looking at is that of Robin Propper. "You need a leader from the back, which will give you a lot more stability. "You need players who can also make others play better football. That's what you need in that position."

Haribo recalls sweets in the Netherlands after traces of cannabis found
Space cake, weed cookies and hash brownies may be familiar fare in the Netherlands, but cannabis in bags of children's candy is not and Haribo has recalled its Happy Cola F!ZZ sweets after traces of the drug were found inside. Several people including children suffered 'health complaints, such as dizziness' after eating sweets from three 1kg packs, the Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) in the Netherlands said, adding that a full recall had been undertaken as a precaution. 'How the cannabis ended up in the sweets is still unknown,' a spokesperson for the authority told the Dutch news agency ANP. 'The police are investigating the matter further.' The authority said the packs concerned were genuine Haribo products. Dutch police said in a statement that a couple from the Twente region in the east of the country had brought a pack of the cola-bottle shaped sweets to their local police station after their young children had become 'quite sick' after eating them. Forensic testing has established the presence of cannabis. 'We want to know exactly how it got into the candy and, of course, how the bags ended up in the store,' a police spokesperson, Chantal Westerhoff, said. The sweets are sold in several pack sizes and only those in 1kg bags with a use-by date of January 2026 and a specific product code are affected, Haribo said, adding that a full refund would be paid for all packs returned. Patrick Tax, vice-president of marketing at Haribo, said the recall concerned 'a limited number of cases' in the east of the country. 'The safety of our consumers is our highest priority and Haribo takes this incident very seriously,' he said. 'This is a live issue and we are working closely with the Dutch authorities to support their investigation and establish the facts,' Tax told Agence-France Presse. The NVWA warned people bluntly: 'Do not eat these sweets.' In 2023, six children aged between four and 14 were taken ill in The Hague after eating candy containing THC, one of the active ingredients in cannabis, but the sweets concerned were not regular commercial products. Police said drug smugglers were increasingly using children's sweets as cover and cited several examples of gangs injecting THC into candy. Copies of Haribo's popular gummy bears containing THC can also be found online.
