Rangers release 13 starlets in mass clearout, ex Celtic ace lands shock return to Scottish football management

Here are some of the latest headlines when it comes to Rangers and Celtic.

The off season is underway and that means plenty of news surrounding both Rangers and Celtic.

A 49ers Enterprises takeover at Ibrox is said to be imminent and that’s not the only thing happening with the Light Blues. They are also hunting a new manager and an overhaul of the playing staff looks likely.

Brendan Rodgers is heading into the final year of his Celtic contract and punters will be keen to know where the Irishman stands in the long term. Meanwhile, he will have eyes on a Treble in terms 25/26 after back to back doubles in the last campaigns he’s had at Celtic. Here are some of the latest headlines when it comes to both sides of the Old Firm.

Former Celtic star back in management

Ex Celtic defender Mark Wilson is the permanent head coach of Partick Thistle, in a surprise turn of events. He was coaching in the Jags youth system before stepping up to the interim coaching team after Kris Doolan’s exit as boss, working alongside player-boss Brian Graham. Previously stating he would need to leave the club if he did not get the first team gig, Graham has dramatically turned it down and Morton manager Dougie Imrie also is not taking on the Thistle task per STV. Now, having last been in management at Brechin City in League Two back in 2020, Wilson – who featured at Parkhead between 2006 – 2012 – is the new Jags gaffer.

Chairman Richard Beastall said: “We fully appreciate that supporters will feel frustrated it has taken us longer than we anticipated to make this announcement particularly as there has been a great deal of speculation throughout the course of this week.
