Rangers on brink of four transfers as Vaclav Cerny rules shift and Brighton 'sensation' secured
The club are ramping up their market moves with Russell Martin's first competitive game just around the corner Rangers have snapped up Max Aarons as the first signing for the Russell Martin era at - but fans are desperate to see more deals get over the line. Lyall Cameron has joined the Rangers squad having agreed a pre-contract move from Dundee when Philippe Clement was in the hot seat but with the American revolution in motion under the new Ibrox owners fans are desperate to see the deals flood in. The crucial Champions League qualifiers against Panathinaikos next month and a new striker is top of the agenda with Hamza Igamane attracting interest from Lille and talks with AEK over Cyriel Dessers rumbling on. However, the Scottish Premiership side plan to offload either Igamane or Dessers before rubber stamping the deal for the 21-year-old. There is also set to be one imminent arrival and exit in the Light Blues' academy ranks. Fabrizio Romano states that 16 year-old talent Alfie Hutchison has completed a move to Newcastle United after several Premier League clubs had been chasing a deal. Football Insider also claim highly-rated Brighton winger "sensation" Zebedee Lawson has chosen Rangers as his next step. Conor Coady is inching closer to a move to reinforce the backline at Ibrox with sporting director Kevin Thelwell leading the push for a deal amid talks with Leicester City having worked with the 32-year-old at Wolves and Everton. Former Aberdeen chief Keith Wyness reckons that the club could be signing the next Terry Butcher, telling The Insider Track: 'Having had experience with Conor, I think he would be a great signing for Rangers. "He'd remind me a bit of the Terry Butcher days, that famous era at Rangers with Gazza (Paul Gascoigne). 'I think that Conor Coady is that type of character that would go down really well at Ibrox and would be a great addition, and would play the Russell Martin way as well. 'Even for a season or two to stabilise things, I think that would be a great signing to come in, so I would see that as a possibility for Rangers.' A winger is also on the agenda following the departure of Vaclav Cerny - but Kwame Poku won't be coming in. The 23-year-old is set to join Queens Park Rangers at the the end of his Peterborough contract despite heavy interest from the Premiership side. So, could Rangers go back to the Czech international? Cerny's agent David Nehoda left the door open last week stating: "Vaclav will be back in Wolfsburg in time for their start of training. "We are currently not in talks with Rangers about a possible further collaboration. There is no concrete offer from any other club either. "The summer transfer market window does continue for a long time though, so everything remains possible." Reports in Germany have claimed Cerny is now officially on the transfer list with Wolfsburg having to seriously cut their squad amid ongoing financial problems with owners German car giants Volkswagen. But amid a shifting picture at the Bundesliga giants, Braunschweiger Zeitung claims that with the club unable to spend big this summer boss Paul Simon is is willing to give the wide man a second chance and assess him in pre-season after his impressive season in Scotland.

Blazing mad Brooks Koepka smashes up tee box, withdraws from LIV event and sets alarm bells ringing for The Open
American star lost his temper at LIV Dallas and worries his fans pre-Open Blazing Brooks Kopeka smashed his way out of LIV Dallas in an outburst which set alarm bells ringing again ahead of Royal Portrush. The American star stormed off the course during Friday's first round of the event with illness cited as the reason for his eventual withdrawal with four holes to go. Koepka had already looked sick when he cracked a tee-box marker in visible rage after another wayward shot at the ninth. The five-times Major winner slammed his club into the deck at first before subsequently whacking the marker out of the ground and in the direction of the LIV crowd. It was a brutal moment ahead of his trip across the Atlantic for the 153rd Championship and have acted to dim hopes which had had risen following the US Open that better times may lie ahead and the real Koepka might be about to shine in Northern Ireland. Koepka's struggles at the biggest events in recent times has been sad for his fans to witness with the man who was the most-fearsome character in Major golf cowed. His history isn't unknown. In a six-year spell between 2017 and 2023, he won three PGA Championships, two US Opens and recorded six other top-five finishes. During one outrageous stretch through the 2019 season, Kopeka didn't finish outside the top four in any of the Majors and once famously stated that they were the 'easist' to win. Injury problems were clearly amongst the biggest reasons why the run stuttered, but the switch to LIV didn't initially halt him as he blasted back to victory with that fifth Major win at PGA Championship coming just two years ago. He made the US Ryder Cup team in Rome. However, following that success at Oak Hill, it went rapidly downhill. Last year, Koepka was unable to strike a blow as he failed to secure a Top 20 in any of the Majors and the descent continued into this term. At Augusta, while Rory McIlroy was making history to win his career Grand Slam and, importantly, match his rival's mark of five majors, Kopeka was already long gone having missed the Masters cut. That wasn't his first missed Masters weekend, but it was a different story with the PGA. The three-time winner of the Wanamaker Trophy had never done less than four rounds in his 12 previous appearances in the event until he got to Quail Hollow, but that record was crushed by a bruising dismissal following rounds of 75 and 76 leaving him nine-over par. Spats with fans and pictures of him buying beer in a supermarket made more headlines than his golf, yet at Oakmont a fortnight ago, there were signs of life. The opening-day 68 to be amongst the leaders at the end of a tough start at Oakmont put him back in a place where he'd once lived. Subsequently, rounds of 74 and 73 snuffed out any opportunity of him grabbing the trophy, but the Sunday 71 lifted him back-up into a tie for 12th place behind JJ Spaun and offered a first Top 20 finish at a Major in two long years. With Royal Portrush to come, the prospect of the 35-year-old rising even higher and continuing the ascent at the iconic Irish venue was a tantalising one, yet now the doubts return. It remains to be seen how much the illness played a part in his wayward scoring and loss of temper in Dallas less than three weeks from The Open, or whether the simple fact is that Oakmont offered merely a rare and brief glimpse of the old Koepka.
