Celtic have won the Premiership in 14 of the last 15 seasons, with the exception being 2020-21, when Rangers won it, but last term’s victory was achieved the hard way.

Former captain Tavernier was often the fall guy among the support for Rangers’ failings, despite arguably being the club’s best player over the past decade.Criticism often felt unfair, but Shankland acknowledges that scrutiny comes with wearing the armband of such a demanding club.Supporters of the Ibrox side have long called for the signing of the striker for his goalscoring ability, but his experience in Scottish football and status as a boyhood fan will also tick boxes in their eyes.Rangers now have a manager in the dugout and a captain on the pitch who the fans feel ‘get it’, and Shankland…

Australia’s Teremoana, 11-0 (11 KOs), has blasted through every opponent since joining the professional ranks after the Paris Olympics, while Savage, 11-1 (11 KOs), has built his reputation on explosive finishing power, with only Brandon Moore lasting long enough to hand him a points defeat. Matchroom chairman Eddie Hearn believes neither man knows how to take a backward step. “You look at that face-off and you see two men who genuinely do not miss when they land. Teremoana is the future of this division, but Savage is exactly the…

Oleksandr Usyk is planning on just one more fight before hanging up the gloves and sailing off into the sunset, and the Ukrainian icon has confirmed who he is targeting for his ‘last dance’ and why. Usyk’s achievements at both cruiserweight and heavyweight have seen him recognised as one of boxing’s all-time greats, having joined Evander Holyfield as the second man to claim the undisputed title in both weight divisions. However, against Rico Verhoeven back in May, the 39-year-old showed signs that perhaps he’s starting slowing down and was somewhat fortunate to avoid an astonishing upset as a controversial round…
