He has spent 18-months back down-under, but will return to Brendan Rodgers' side this summer an A-League Grand Final winner. Tilio's Melbourne City faced off against fierce rivals, Melbourne Victory, as well as ex-Celtic man Daniel Arzani. City walked away 1-0 winner thanks to an early goal from Yonatan Cohen. Tilio told Paramount+ Australia after the match: "This one just feels so much sweeter." The winger will be a busy man between now and his return to Scotland as he is on international duty with Australia. "World cup qualifiers coming up so I'll make sure I'm on my flight tomorrow feeling good because that's more important than celebrating, I'll celebrate with the boys and my family that are here and get ready for them." Tilio has spoken about his Celtic future in the past whilst keeping his cards close to his chest. He told Optus Sport: "I'd hope to be saying I'll be playing consistently over in Europe. "I'd like to say. We'll see but, yeah, that's where my head's at."

Once Tilio returns to Celtic, he will still have three years remaining on his Hoops contract. With Jota out long-term, and Nicolas Kuhn attracting transfer interest, there could be a way back for Tilio in Glasgow. Brendan Rodgers already looks to be in the market for a winger though. Tyrhys Dolan from Blackburn is out of contract this summer, and both the Hoops and Rangers are said to be chasing his signature.

Nobody's gonna mention that I got Olympics and Fifa World Cup: Donald Trump rails against opposition
US President Donald Trump US President Donald Trump boasted about securing both 2028 Olympics and the 2026 Fifa World Cup in the United States and explained his motivation to run in 2024. Addressing the Kennedy Center board members at the White House gathering, Trump claimed that opponents had "rigged" the 2020 election. 'We got the Olympics and then we got through Gianni, he's the boss, he's a friend of mine, we got the World Cup. I got them both and I said, 'Man, I won't be president. I got the Olympics and the World Cup and I won't be president and they're gonna forget that I got them, nobody's gonna mention it because, you know, a little bit, that's the way life is. And then they rigged the election," he said. " And then I said, you know what I'll do? I'll run again and I'll shove it up their a**. And that's what I did. And all of a sudden, I then realized, I said, you know what? I got the Olympics, I got the World cup, and I got the 250th. Look at the way this works out. So if they would have left us alone and wouldn't have cheated on the election and wouldn't have rigged it, I would have been retired right now. I would have been happily doing something else. And instead, they have me for four more years. Can you believe it? So it has rigged," he added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch Bitcoin và Ethereum - Không cần ví! IC Markets BẮT ĐẦU NGAY Undo Meanwhile, Trump also criticised the previous administration of the Kennedy Center, declaring that the prominent Washington cultural venue's era of "rampant political propaganda" had concluded since his personal assumption of control. "When I said, I'll do this, I hadn't been there," Trump addressed the centre's new board members at the White House gathering. He quipped about not accepting positions without prior inspection, noting that despite substantial financial investment over the past decade, the facility was in poor condition. Following his return to office in January, Trump removed several long-term board members. New appointees subsequently installed him as chairman in February. This decision led to the departure of prominent figures, including television producer Shonda Rhimes and musician Ben Folds, from their leadership roles. The Kennedy Center, traditionally supported across party lines, has never previously had a US president at its helm. "The building was falling apart. In addition, the programming was out of control with rampant political propaganda, DEI and inappropriate shows," Trump stated, expressing disapproval of LGBTQ content.

Man who ran fake finance company in Chembur arrested
MUMBAI: The police on Sunday arrested a Chembur resident who allegedly ran Access Fin Services, a fake finance company, to lure gullible people into investing in a fake scheme by promising them 10 to 20% returns. The accused, Praveen Obhan, had duped senior citizens who retired from government departments like the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation and the police department by convincing them to invest their entire life's savings, said a police officer. The case that led to his arrest was based on a complaint from one of his victims, Neelam Chiplunkar, a Chembur resident. Chiplunkar and her family are involved in the real estate business. In her complaint, she said a mutual friend introduced her and her husband to Obhan's firm, which they visited in July. Obhan introduced them to various investment schemes, including one 'World cup special monthly investment scheme' in which a ₹40 lakh investment for 15 months will give investors ₹8 lakh returns beginning from the fourth month. At the end of a year, investors would be rewarded with ₹96 lakh. Lured by this, the complainant said she invested ₹40 lakh with Obhan's firm. He also gave a pamphlet of this scheme to the complainant so she could promote it, said a police officer. 'She claims to have given him ₹40 lakh after she was promised high interest, but she neither got any interest nor her principal amount,' said Navnath Dhawale, deputy commissioner of police (zone 6). However, in January this year, the accused gave her ₹4 lakh as returns and asked to further invest this in the 'Money bond daily scheme' (another fake scheme). He added that several people have submitted written complaints to the Govandi police in the past four to five days, making the alleged defrauded amount go up to around ₹2 crore. The accused was produced before the court on Monday and remanded to police custody till May 23.
