Eoin Kenny's performance drew applause from the Oriel Park crowd, creating a memorable moment for his family during the match.

"It's the first time in 18 games that I had to have a go. I didn't like that I had to do that. We were passive in the first half, passing side to side, that was not us."

Toronto FC will consider a permanent transfer for on-loan Rangers midfielder Jose Cifuentes after a strong run of form, indicating his potential value to the team.

This crew - smallish in number but sufficiently large to assault the eardrums of the management and players - are an odd bunch. It's true that Scotland should be beyond the point of just being happy going to the World Cup - and these players are way past that notion.

"It's a similar situation that we always find in Scotland. If a player outside the Old Firm is doing well, you normally see the Rangers and Celtic linked with them."

Trudging back home in the Charlie Brown Christmas pose, the team that played the best regular season in all of the NHL just two seasons ago badly needed a boost in Monday night's contest against the Kraken. The Eastern Conference is still a big tin of sardines, after all, so it's only going to take a medium-sized hot streak for a bad team to change the story of its season.

Regis Le Bris's Black Cats impressed during the first half of the season, but have only recorded two wins from nine league games so far in 2026. They enter Saturday's skirmish at Bournemouth on a three-game losing run in the league and sit 12th in the table. Sunderland's injuries have suddenly mounted since Sunday's defeat by Fulham, with fresh problems for Romaine Mundle, Jocelin Ta Bi, Nordi Mukiele and Brian Brobbey.

I'm not an investor in Rangers, I'm not involved in Rangers - I don't have anything to do with that except that I'm a Celtic man. When you see Eddie (Gray) and I sitting there together.... That's not why I didn't invest, it just wasn't for me. One of the best nights I had actually. Eddie and I went up to Celtic Park last season during the European Cup.

Officers and stewards were faced with extreme hostility and violence over a sustained period, with many individuals having armed themselves with items clearly intended to cause harm. Officers and members of the public have been injured in this despicable display and I want to express my thanks to all officers and staff deployed.
