Andy Robertson makes Celtic return decision as Parkhead chiefs plot January talks

Andy Robertson has now reportedly made his decision on returning to Celtic with Parkhead chiefs already preparing to commence talks with the Scotland captain as early as January.

The Hoops could certainly do with his experience on the European stage, having been well-beaten once again in midweek. This time, it was Midtjylland who reaped the rewards, easing to a 3-1 victory in a game that saw them take a three-goal lead before half-time. Whilst Martin O’Neill has managed to turn things around so far domestically, he could do nothing to stop the rot in the Europa League.

The defeat laid bare the task that the next permanent manager has on their hands and those at Celtic Park are yet to even discover who that will be.

O’Neill once again distanced himself from the job when questioned, telling reporters: “I will be here as long as the football board wants me, it’s as simple as that. That could be at the end of the week, it could be after the Kilmarnock game. I just don’t know.”

Celtic schedule first interview with 37 y/o manager who dreams of Hoops job

The Bhoys are still on the hunt for their Brendan Rodgers replacement.

ByTom Cunningham Nov 6, 2025

Whoever is next in the hotseat – whether it be Nicky Hayen, Kieran McKenna or another name – must turn towards the transfer window to welcome some much-needed experience and quality.

Andy Robertson makes Celtic return decision

As reported by TeamTalk, Robertson is now open to making a return to Celtic and signing a pre-contract agreement as soon as January. Sources told TeamTalk that “it’s a move that would make total sense for him personally” and the Hoops are now ready to swoop in to strike an early deal.

If the Scottish giants are after experience and quality, then Robertson is their man. The iconic Liverpool left-back arguably still deserves the starting spot over new man Milos Kerkez at Anfield, but has less than 12 months remaining on his current contract. Given that the Reds bought Kerkez to act as Robertson’s successor last summer, a new contract seems unlikely at this stage.

That, as things stand, should allow Celtic to seal a bargain deal for a Champions League winner who, even at 31 years old, would take the Scottish Premiership by storm.

Once dubbed the “complete player” by former Liverpool left-back Fabio Aurelio, Robertson would be one of the signings of the summer if the Bhoys secured his arrival on a free deal.

Their academy graduate has won it all in English football and is now open to coming full circle and returning to end some unfinished business in Scotland.

Kamboj, Suthar take India A home after Pant 90

India A lost three quick wickets in the morning session but an unbroken eighth-wicket stand between Suthar and Kamboj helped seal the win

Shashank Kishore02-Nov-2025

Rishabh Pant top-scored for India A with 90•PTI

An unbroken eighth-wicket stand of 62 between Anshul Kamboj and Manav Suthar guided India A to a thrilling three-wicket victory over South Africa A in the first four-day fixture at Bengaluru’s Centre of Excellence on Sunday.India A’s chase of 275 looked on shaky grounds when they lost three quick wickets – all to short-pitched bowling – in the morning session. Then Suthar, with a first-class highest of 96, stonewalled the fast bowlers into frustration, allowing Kamboj to feast on some tired bowling in the second session to seal victory.Resuming on 119 for 4, India A needed a further 156 runs with six wickets in hand, and Rishabh Pant took charge in typically explosive fashion. Unbeaten overnight on 64, Pant launched Okuhle Cele over extra cover for six off just the second ball of the day in a 14-run opening over. He was at his audacious best, forcing the fast bowlers to abandon their fuller lengths and switch to a barrage of short deliveries from around the wicket.Unruffled, Pant continued to counterattack – pulling with authority and even launching Tiaan van Vuuren for six over deep midwicket when the left-armer overpitched slightly. But van Vuuren struck back in the same over, banging one in short as Pant advanced, only for the ball to loop off the splice of the bat to slip.Pant departed for a scintillating 90 off 113 balls, an innings studded with 11 fours and four sixes, three of them against the spinners, to give the visitors an opening. But the chase was far from over as Ayush Badoni displayed an array of attractive flick shots as the fast bowlers attacked the stumps to extract a hint of reverse against the old ball.However, every now and then they kept banging it into the body – with both Badoni and Tanush Kotian falling in eerily similar fashion, out hooking to fine leg. At 215 for 7, South Africa A smelt victory with van Vurren, who accounted for Rajat Patidar, Pant and Badoni, breathing fire. This was when Suthar was happy to weave away from bumpers, take blows on the body and fight to survive – giving India A some cushion.Manav Suthar shared a crucial partnership with Anshul Kamboj•PTI

With 17 needed, Kamboj – also hit on the helmet by van Vurren’s bouncer – used the long handle to slog sweep offspinner Prenelan Subrayen for six to bring the target within touching distance. Kamboj wasn’t blindly slogging for much of his knock; he was a bit more adventurous in trying to throw the fast bowlers off their lengths.Occasionally, luck favoured him too, like when one pull shot flew off a top-edge for four and another landed short of two fielders on the leg side fence. But with 11 needed, a heave flew off wide of short third off a thick edge to bring the target within single digits. Suthar hit the winning runs when he charged down the pitch to loft Subrayen over mid-on.Kamboj finished unbeaten on 37 to take away a confidence boosting performance from the match, along with an impressive 3 for 39 in the second innings that triggered South Africa A’s slide on the third afternoon. In displaying enough batting resilience, Suthar showed there’s more to him than just classical left-arm spin, which brought him four wickets.The pick of India A bowlers, however, was Kotian, who picked up four-fors in both innings – displaying control and guile in equal measure to showcase to the selectors why he can be an able back-up for Washington Sundar in the Test squad.There was also some batting time for B Sai Sudharsan in the first innings, although he’d have been disappointed with his manner of dismissals in both innings. In the first, his outside edge got him into trouble as he was out nicking. In the second, he was beaten on the inside edge, lbw to an in-ducker.Ayush Mhatre hit an attractive half-century in the first, while Devdutt Padikkal, who was part of the Test squad for West Indies, missed out in both innings even as Karun Nair, the man he displaced, continued to pile on the runs in the Ranji Trophy.

Better than Saka: Arsenal plot record move for "best player in the world"

Mikel Arteta has built a truly world-class squad at Arsenal over the last few years.

From front to back, the likes of William Saliba, Declan Rice and Eberechi Eze would comfortably get into any side in the Premier League.

Yet, even though he’s not been at his very best this season, Bukayo Saka still stands as the club’s most important player.

The Hale Ender is their talisman, someone capable of winning games on his own, so fans should be delighted by reports linking Arsenal to someone even better than Saka.

Arsenal target a better player than Saka

Arsenal have already been linked with several truly brilliant players ahead of the winter window.

Transfer Focus

Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.

For example, Juventus’ Kenan Yıldız has been touted for a £88m move to the Emirates, as has Real Madrid’s Rodrygo.

However, while both of these wingers are sensational talents and would undoubtedly improve the Gunners’ squad, neither one is better than Saka.

Vinícius Júnior, on the other hand, just might be.

Yes, according to a recent report from Spain, Arsenal are now interested in the Madrid superstar.

The report has revealed that with talks over a new deal at the Bernabéu going poorly, the Gunners are now ‘pursuing the Brazilian.’

A potential price is not mentioned, but with Transfermarkt valuing the winger at €150m – about £132m – it would likely require a new British record transfer fee.

With that said, if Arsenal have the chance to sign Vini Jr, they should take it, not least because he’s one of the few attackers in the world better than Saka.

How Vini compares to Saka

Now, the first thing to make clear is that Saka is a genuinely world-class footballer, and not only that, but he has the chance to become a legend at Arsenal.

However, what is equally true is that Vini Jr might just be a marginally better player, but one who could form a devastating partnership with him on the opposite flank.

With that out of the way, which international superstar comes out on top when we look at their output this season?

Well, so far this year, the Gunners’ number seven has scored six goals in 15 appearances, totalling 1053 minutes, coming out to an average of a goal every 2.5 games, or every 175.5 minutes.

For his efforts, the former Flamengo gem has scored five goals and provided four assists in 17 appearances, totalling 1172 minutes, which comes out to an average of a goal involvement every 1.88 games, or every 130.22 minutes.

Which game-changing wideman comes out on top when taking a look under the hood, at their underlying numbers?

Well, perhaps a little surprisingly, the Brazilian dynamo doesn’t just come out better in most metrics, but practically every single relevant one.

Ultimately, Saka is an exceptional player, but as Ronaldo once pointed out, Vini Jr is arguably “the best player in the world”, and therefore, if Arsenal have even the slightest chance to sign him, they should go all out to do so.

شيرر بعد فوز ليفربول على وست هام: محمد صلاح لا يمكنه الشكوى من سلوت

أدلى النجم السابق للدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، آلان شيرر، بتصريحات عقب فوز ليفربول على وست هام، في إطار منافسات البطولة، عصر يوم الأحد.

واستضاف ملعب “لندن الأولمبي” مباراة ليفربول ووست هام في الجولة الثالثة عشر من بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي، موسم 2025/26، حيث حقق حامل اللقب فوزًا بهدفين دون رد.

وغاب محمد صلاح عن مباراة ليفربول اليوم، حيث تواجد على دكة البدلاء ولم يدفع به المدرب آرني سلوت في أي من دقائقها.

وقال شيرر، في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “بي بي سي” العالمية: “لقد اتخذ سلوت قرارًا مهمًا باستبعاد محمد صلاح من مباراة اليوم، ولكنني أعتقد أن نتائج ليفربول سهلت الأمر، عندما لا تسير الأمور كما ينبغي، عليك اتخاذ قرارات حاسمة”.

وأضاف: “لقد كان قرار سلوت اليوم كبيرًا بالنظر إلى ما فعله محمد صلاح مع ليفربول في السابق، ولكن صلاح لا يمكنه الشكوى لأنه لم يكن يلعب جيدًا، عندما يكون الأمر كذلك، عليك تقبل القرار”.

وواصل شيرر تصريحاته: “لقد نجح الأمر مع ليفربول، كما نجح مع إيزاك أيضًا، لأنه كان الفارق اليوم”.

Bavuma to return as South Africa captain for India Tests

Bedingham makes way in the only batting change from South Africa’s squad that drew 1-1 in Pakistan

Temba Bavuma will be back to lead South Africa’s Test side in their two-match series against India next month after recovering from a calf strain. Bavuma missed the start of their World Test Championship title defence against Pakistan after sustaining the injury in England in September.He will not play in any of the white-ball matches that start in Pakistan this week but will be in a South African A side to play India A in a first-class match in Bengaluru before joining the Test squad.Bavuma’s inclusion is the only batting change from South Africa’s squad that drew 1-1 in Pakistan and comes at the expense of middle-order batter David Bedingham, who did not play either of the matches.Related

Rabada: South Africa 'a young team that wants to do the dirty work'

Bedingham has played 15 Tests for South Africa and scored one hundred and four fifties, but before his 82 against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo he had gone 12 innings without a fifty. With Tony de Zorzi, Tristan Stubbs, Dewald Brevis and Zubayr Hamza in the squad, there is no room for Bedingham.”The guys that did duty in Pakistan in the Test matches have shown what they’re capable of, and a case can be made for all of them to be re-selected. The reason why they got selected ahead of David was because I feel that in these conditions they’ll be more effective,” Shukri Conrad, South Africa head coach, said on Bedingham. “It doesn’t mean that it’s the end of the road for David. It wasn’t so long ago that he was one of our star performers at Lord’s so really horses-for-courses. For what we’re potentially going to face, I believe the guys that we got are ahead of David in that respect.”You leave a player out and it’s never easy, especially if they’ve done as well as they have done. But again, I’ve got to take the emotion out of all of it. We’ve made some tough decisions along the way so every time you make a decision like that, it’s particularly tough, but you’ve got to take the emotion out of it.”You basically look at the raw facts and say, ‘right, what do we believe is going to be effective on these surfaces? And who best to stack up against said opposition on those surfaces,’ you know? And look, in eight months’ time, however long, when we play a Test match back home again, I’m sure David will be in that line-up. But purely for Pakistan and India, what we’re expecting, the guys that we’ve selected, we believe, are better equipped.”On Hamza’s selection for the India Tests, Conrad said that he’s a “really good player of spin, it’s as simple as that.” Hamza had recently scored a century for South Africa A against New Zealand A in Potchefstroom last month.”He [Hamza] was close to playing in Pakistan when we considered balance of side and he is the next batter up,” Conrad said. “In these conditions, I must continually add that, in these conditions, we’ve always said that everything we do is conditions-based and condition-specific.”South Africa have stuck with three specialist spinners as all of Keshav Maharaj, Simon Harmer and Senuran Muthusamy performed well in Pakistan. Offspinner Prenelan Subrayen, who played in the first Test while Maharaj was recovering from a groin strain, has not been included.ESPNcricinfo Ltd

Their own Clement: Southampton could hire "world-class" Eckert replacement

Southampton have been one of a number of teams with a managerial vacancy in the Championship during the international break, alongside Norwich, Middlesbrough, and Swansea.

Boro are set to appoint Kim Hellberg from Hammarby and Vitor Matos is in talks to take over at Swansea, but it is Norwich who have made the most eyebrow-raising appointment.

The Canaries have hired Belgian coach Philippe Clement, who has won four domestic cups in Belgium and Scotland and four Belgian top-flight titles in his career, per Transfermarkt, working for Club Brugge, Genk, Monaco, and Rangers.

Norwich are 23rd in the Championship table, with half as many points as Southampton, yet they have attracted a head coach who has won 170 of his 287 league games as a manager, averaging 2.00 points per game, per Transfermarkt.

The latest on Southampton's managerial search

According to Daily Echo reporter Alfie House, as relayed by SaintsExtra, Southampton are set to hand interim head coach Tonda Eckert the next three Championship matches before further assessing the situation.

Manager Focus

Who are the greatest coaches in the land? Football FanCast’s Manager Focus series aims to reveal all.

The Saints play Charlton, Leicester City, and Millwall in those three games, after Eckert beat QPR 2-1 and Sheffield Wednesday 3-1 in his first two matches in the dugout.

House’s update adds that Southampton have spoken with managerial targets and that they do not have a clear standout candidate at this moment in time, which is why Eckert will be given the next three games to stake his claim for the permanent job.

Instead of appointing the interim on a permanent basis, Sport Republic could hire their answer to Norwich’s ambitious Clement swoop by bringing reported target Brendan Rodgers to St. Mary’s.

Why Southampton should appoint Brendan Rodgers

If the Canaries are able to attract a manager like Clement, who has won eight trophies and managed some big European clubs, whilst second from bottom in the Championship, Southampton should make a statement of their own with a move for the former Celtic boss.

Described as “world-class” by Gabby Agbonlahor, like the new Norwich manager, Rodgers would come in with an incredible career behind him and a history of winning games and trophies on a consistent basis. In fact, he won the 2023/24 Scottish Premiership title with Celtic ahead of Clement’s Rangers side.

The Northern Irish boss, who was hailed as a “pillar of strength” by Hoops captain Callum McGregor, is an incredibly experienced tactician who has been there and done it in England and Scotland.

As you can see in the table above, Rodgers is even more experienced than Clement and has won five more trophies in his career, with 11 of those coming at Celtic, and the other two with Leicester.

The Saints target also has experience in getting out of the Championship. He won the play-offs in the 2010/11 campaign after a third-placed finish in the second tier with Swansea, which shows that he also has experience for what Southampton need this season.

Therefore, Rodgers could be a brilliant appointment for the club if they can convince him to make the drop down to the Championship, which is what Norwich were able to do with Clement.

خاص.. أول رد من الزمالك على أنباء فسخ محمود بنتايج عقده

كشف مصدر داخل نادي الزمالك، حقيقة قيام المغربي محمود بنتايج، ظهير أيسر الفريق، بفسخ التعاقد مع القلعة البيضاء خلال الفترة الحالية.

وأفاد مصدر لـ بطولات: “محمود بنتايج لم يفسخ عقده مع النادي كما تردد خلال الساعات الماضية، ما جرى تداوله لا يتجاوز كونه طلبًا رسميًا تقدم به اللاعب بدعوى تأخر مستحقاته المالية”.

وأضاف: “بفحص الملف، تبين لإدارة الزمالك أن آخر دفعة حصل عليها اللاعب تجعل المدة القانونية المطلوبة (شهرين كاملين) لفسخ العقد من طرف واحد، لم تكتمل بعد”.

طالع | عضو الزمالك لـ”بطولات”: جاهزون لتقديم استقالة جماعية في هذه الحالة.. ومديونيات النادي تجاوزت الـ2 مليار

وأوضحت المصادر أن موقف محمود بنتايج الحالي لا يمنحه حق الفسخ وفق لوائح “فيفا”، وأن ما حدث مجرد محاولة من اللاعب للضغط من أجل صرف مستحقاته، دون وجود أي سند قانوني يسمح بإنهاء التعاقد”.

وأشار المصدر إلى أن العلاقة التعاقدية ما زالت قائمة، وأن النادي يتعامل مع الموضوع في إطاره القانوني حتى اللحظة”.

وكان الزمالك قد نجح في ضم اللاعب محمود بنتايج، من صفوف فريق سانت إتيان الفرنسى، لمدة ثلاثة مواسم وينتهى تعاقده بنهاية موسم 2027-2028.

10 anos da Copa do Mundo no Brasil: veja como estão os estádios, que custaram R$ 8,3 bilhões

MatériaMais Notícias

A Copa do Mundo de 2014, que ocorreu no Brasil, completa 10 anos nesta quarta-feira (12). Foram investidos mais de R$ 25 bilhões para a realização do evento, sendo R$ 8,3 bilhões destinados às construções e reformas dos estádios, segundo divulgação do Ministério do Esporte na época. Este valor significa R$ 14,2 bilhões, de acordo com correção pela inflação de 2024.

Hoje, a maior parte das 12 arenas são frequentemente utilizadas por clubes, enquanto outras não recebem tantos eventos esportivos. Até 2022, governos estaduais, concessionárias e clubes deviam em torno de R$ 1,5 bilhão pelas obras, segundo publicação originalmente do “Ge”. Confira como está e quanto custou cada estádio da Copa do Mundo de 2014 no Brasil!

*Valores de acordo com a inflação da época

Beira-Rio (Porto Alegre – RS): R$ 330 milhões

Com 27.325 pessoas em média durante o Brasileirão de 2023, o estádio pertence ao Internacional e passou por reforma na época. Hoje, o clube manda seus jogos fora do Rio Grande do Sul, devido à tragédia climática na região, que alagou a arena do Colorado.

Arena da Baixada (Curitiba – PR): R$ 391,5 milhões

Casa do Athletico-PR, que teve média de público de 22.283 pessoas por jogo no Brasileirão 2023, a Arena da Baixada é o “caldeirão” do Furacão, que está como um dos protagonistas da elite do futebol nacional há anos. O local tem gramado sintético, capacidade para 42.372 e hoje se chama Ligga Arena.

Arena das Dunas (Natal – RN): R$ 400 milhões

O estádio é mais utilizado pelo América-RN, que está na quarta divisão. Apesar da campanha de queda na Série C de 2023, o clube teve uma das melhores médias de público do torneio. A Arena também é utilizada para outros eventos, teve os naming rights vendidos, por R$ 6 milhões, e agora se chama Casa de Apostas Arena das Dunas.

Arena Castelão (Fortaleza – CE): R$ 518,6 milhões

Reformado, o estádio recebe frequentemente partidas de Fortaleza e Ceará, que carregam altas médias de público e figuram entre os principais torneios nacionais e internacionais. O Laion, por exemplo, teve a sexta melhor média de público no Brasileirão 2023. Um problema do estádio é o gramado, e o Castelão chegou a ser vetado pela Conmebol pela má qualidade do campo

Arena Pernambuco (Recife – PE): R$ 532,6 milhões

Até 2023, a Arena Pernambuco tinha uma das piores médias de público entre as arenas do Mundial de 2014. Sport, Náutico e Santa Cruz, clubes mais populares do estado, têm costume de mandar jogos em seus próprios estádios. O Leão tem usado mais a Arena Pernambuco em 2024, porque a Ilha do Retiro passa por reformas.

Arena Pantanal (Cuiabá – MT): R$ 583 milhões

O Cuiabá, representante do estado na Série A do Brasileirão, utiliza o estádio como sua casa e teve a quinta pior média de público do torneio, com 14.701 pessoas por jogo para uma capacidade de 43.150 lugares. Apesar disso, o patamar de “elefante branco” da Arena Pantanal foi alterado pela ascensão do Dourado.

Arena Amazônia (Manaus – AM): R$ 660,5 milhões

Maior “elefante branco” da Copa do Mundo, a Arena Amazônia se beneficiou da ascensão do Amazonas, que chegou à Série B em 2024 e tem levado número expressivo de torcedores ao estádio.

Arena Fonte Nova (Salvador – BA): R$ 684,4 milhões

Hoje chamado “Casa de Apostas Arena Fonte Nova”, o estádio recebe muitas partidas do Bahia, que está na Série A e tem ótima média de público. O clube foi o quarto que mais levou torcedores para assistirem aos jogos entre todas as equipes do Brasileirão 2023, com 36.461 pessoas de média.

Mineirão (Belo Horizonte – MG): R$ 695 milhões

Antes casa de Cruzeiro e Atlético-MG, hoje o tradicional Mineirão abriga apenas os jogos com mando da Raposa. Isso porque o Galo construiu seu próprio estádio, a Arena MRV. Em 2023, o estádio mineiro teve sua melhor média de público dos últimos 10 anos.

Maracanã (Rio de Janeiro – RJ): R$ 1,05 bilhão

Considerado o estádio mais famoso do país, o Maracanã é administrado pelo consórcio capitaneado por Flamengo e Fluminense, além de receber esporádicos jogos do Vasco. Sediou duas finais de Libertadores e, em 2023, foi o “campeão” de média de público no Brasileirão, pois o Rubro-Negro teve 54.499 torcedores em média frequentando o local. Uma contestação é a preservação do gramado, frequentemente desgastado pelo excesso de partidas.

Arena Corinthians (São Paulo – SP): R$ 1,08 bilhão

Em relação ao futebol, o estádio é um sucesso. Isso porque o Corinthians é dono de uma das três melhores médias de público do Brasil, atrás de São Paulo e Flamengo, que atuam em locais maiores. Porém, a dívida pelo financiamento da arena ultrapassa R$ 700 milhões e é um dos principais problemas para o caixa do clube.
