Curtis revels in dream Euro debut and praise from Sir Alex
Findlay Curtis was so excited to make his first European start for Rangers against Panathinaikos that, the night before the game, the 18-year-old lay awake in bed, thinking ahead to the biggest moment in his fledgling career."My mum came through to me and was like you need to get your sleep," the winger said after his superb opening goal set Rangers on their way to a 2-0 victory in the first leg of their Champions League second round qualifier."I found out I was starting on Tuesday morning when the manager named the team and I was speechless. I just texted my mum and dad and told them and they started crying. It was a good family moment." Curtis, like the rest of his team, struggled to make an impact in the first half as Panathinaikos threatened to spoil Russell Martin's first competitive match in Greek side missed a host of chances, with goalkeeper Jack Butland coming to Rangers' rescue on numerous some words of encouragement from his teammates and manager at half-time, Curtis settled down and started to play his two key involvements – the opening goal and then drawing the foul from Georgios Vagiannidis that led to the Panathinaikos right-back being sent off for a second yellow card – turned the game."I'm absolutely delighted," Curtis said. "Winning 2-0 and taking it over to Athens, it's just halfway in the tie and we're looking forward to the next game."The first 10 minutes, I thought we started well and then there was a 10-15 minute period where it was dead sloppy."We came in half time and had a chat about it and came back out second half and I thought we changed."Recalling his opening goal, Curtis said: "The first touch was the best part about it."That gave me that confidence boost to obviously take defenders on and obviously the one with the red card, I took a touch inside and obviously [Vagiannidis] got sent off."I think that confidence boost comes from passing the ball right and just doing the right things and right habits."A dream night for Curtis was rounded off with some praise from former Rangers striker and Manchester United, Aberdeen and Scotland manager Sir Alex Ferguson."He just congratulated me on my goal," Curtis said."Listen, coming from a legend like that, I'll take it and obviously that's another dream come true, playing in the Champions League for this club."

Italy benefit from domestic developments despite England loss
GENEVA, July 23 (Reuters) - Italy were within touching distance of a first Women's Euro final since 1997 until a stunning England comeback derailed their dream, but the Italians can look forward to a bright future as they reap the benefits of a more professional approach. The country's top flight for women went fully professional for the 2022-23 season and the effects of that change could be seen on the field as they led reigning European champions England 1-0 until the 96th minute before losing 2-1 in extra time. The Italian players never wilted under the English onslaught and though they lack a bench as deep in talent as the one available to Sarina Wiegman, their replacements performed admirably despite the defeat. "Before the tournament people said we could not get past the group stage, but in the end we were one minute from the final. The players deserved a better ending but sometimes you don't get what you deserve. There is pride amid this bitter defeat -- this hurts but you have to be proud," Italy coach Andrea Soncin told reporters. The 46-year-old has worn his heart on his sleeve throughout the tournament and he paid tribute to how the women's game has developed over the last few years in Italy. "When I started with this group, the main goal was to constantly monitor the players so we could increase the internal competitiveness, and this has given us a lot of benefits," he explained. "We study what the clubs are doing and they are investing a lot, so we have a lot of confidence for the future." That work is already paying off at under-age level, providing a pipeline of promising players to the senior team as they seek to build on their success in Switzerland, which is building a fan base across the gender divide. "In Italy, clubs are developing very well. Our youth football is growing, which requires time. This year the U17s and the U19s got to the (Euro) semi-finals and this is a symptom of what is coming. The fruits will come in the long term," Soncin said. "For sure, many girls but also boys have become passionate about women's football. In future years, these boys will respect women who want to play football."
