Celtic star reveals what he thinks after being quizzed on Parkhead protest

Celtic captain Callum McGregor felt their performance was as slick as it has been this season despite being held to a goalless draw by Hibernian.

The Hoops played out their fourth scoreless encounter of the campaign as they dropped two points behind Hearts at the top of the Scottish Premiership. But McGregor was encouraged by much of the display.

Celtic hit the bar twice, through Kelechi Iheanacho and Marcelo Saracchi, and had 24 efforts at goal, six of them on target. There was an element of experimentation for Brendan Rodgers with Daizen Maeda starting on the right wing and Iheanacho through the middle, and McGregor feels there was plenty to build on ahead of Thursday’s Europa League clash with Braga at Parkhead.

“If we play like that on Thursday night then I’m pretty sure we’ll win the game,” the midfielder said.

“We’ve been looking for rhythm and searching for that rhythm. I think that was probably as good as it’s been in that football sense. We created a lot of chances.

“So like I said, if the team are then progressing through the ranks and through the pitch like that then, if we can play like that on Thursday night, I’m pretty sure we’ll have a good chance of winning.

“That was probably as slick as we’ve been, right the way through the pitch, creating massive amounts of really good chances.

“On that type of performance, then the goals will come, that will start to drip in our favour.”

The Bhoys had to settle for a point in a frustrating turn of events.

BySean Markus Clifford Sep 28, 2025 McGregor reacts to Celtic fans' protests

There was a subdued atmosphere for the first 12 minutes as Celtic fans carried out a silent protest against the board over its transfer dealings.

The campaign is set to be escalated on Thursday with the Celtic Fans Collective planning a 29-minute silence to mark the number of days which will have elapsed since an open letter from supporters groups called for answers from the club. But McGregor said:

Hibs continued their unbeaten start to the Premiership season and recorded their first clean sheet in the league. David Gray’s side now face a Hearts team who made it 16 points out of a possible 18 with a 3-0 win over Falkirk.

Gray said: “It’s a brilliant game to look forward to at the weekend.

“As a Hibs player certainly I felt this is always the game that you want to play in, you want to be involved in.

“It’s geared up for a really good one. We’re undefeated in the league, they’re at the top of the league, what goes with that, so they’re obviously playing well and it’s all about looking forward to these games and I think the players will certainly be ready for them.”

Arteta can replace Odegaard by unleashing Arsenal's "signing of the summer"

After a long, long two weeks, the international break has finally come to an end, and Arsenal are back in action.

Mikel Arteta’s side will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table when they take on Fulham away from home later on this afternoon.

However, Craven Cottage has not been a happy hunting ground for the Gunners in recent years, and they’ll be without club captain Martin Odegaard.

Fortunately, Arteta now has a squad to deal with situations such as this, and to make sure his side collect all three points, he should bring in one of his best summer signings to replace the Norwegian.

Arsenal's recent form against Fulham

Arsenal’s overall record against Fulham is a spectacular one, as since their first meeting back in February 1904, they have won 43 games, drawn 13 and lost just nine.

There have also been some big wins in that time, such as a 5-1 thumping at Craven Cottage in former manager Unai Emery’s first game against the West Londoners, a game famous for a brilliant team goal.

However, even though Arteta has transformed the North Londoners back into title challengers in recent seasons, Fulham have become something of a bogey team for his side at the same time.

For example, in the last five encounters, Arsenal have won just two games, drawn two and lost one.

Moreover, the Gunners dropped two points in the game at Craven Cottage last season and dropped all three the year before that, in a season they lost the league by just two.

In other words, while this should be a straightforward game on paper for Arteta’s men, it truly is anything but.

With that said, Arsenal are looking good, have already won at another historically tough ground in St James’ Park, and should have more than enough firepower to deal with whatever Marco Silva has planned for this afternoon.

Additionally, while Odegaard’s absence is far from ideal, Arteta can start someone else in his place who’s just as talented a footballer.

The Arsenal player who should replace Odegaard

Arsenal might not have spent as much money on individual players as some other sides this summer, but they made sure to bolster the squad, and as a result, there are a few ways Arteta can replace Odegaard for this game.

Chalkboard

Football FanCast’s Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.

However, the best option he has is to keep Declan Rice and Eberechi Eze in the midfield and bring Martin Zubimendi back into the starting lineup.

There are a few reasons why this would be the best approach, and the first is that his presence at the base of midfield will allow Eze to focus all his attention on the happenings at the sharp end of the pitch.

Moreover, even though Rice has been dropping back a bit more on occasion this season, almost into a double pivot, having the former Real Sociedad star behind him should also give him more license to bomb forward at times.

With that said, it’s not just the 26-year-old’s defensive stability that makes him an obvious inclusion in the lineup, but his passing range and ability to strike the ball.

The latter was on full display when he scored that ridiculous volley against Nottingham Forest, and the former has been on display all season, be that in short passes out from the back, impressive switches, or long driving through balls.

For example, according to FBref, he ranks in the top 6% of midfielders in the Premier League this season for pass completion, long pass completion, passes blocked and successful take-on percentage, the top 10% for overall blocks and more, all per 90.

In other words, the former Liverpool target is an extremely well-rounded six, and with numbers like these, plus the eye-test, it’s easy to see why club insider AFC Camdem has dubbed him the Gunners’ “signing of the summer.”

Ultimately, missing Odegaard is far from ideal, but by bringing Zubimendi back into Arsenal’s starting lineup, Arteta will allow Rice and Eze to be more expressive and attacking, which should help them collect three points.

Com média de um gol por jogo, Cano ameaça recorde de Fred pelo Fluminense na Libertadores

MatériaMais Notícias

Germán Cano voltou a marcar pelo Fluminense. E em dose dupla. Na quarta-feira (27), o argentino fez os dois gols do Tricolor no empate em 2 a 2 com o Internacional, no Maracanã, pela partida de ida das semifinais da Libertadores 2023. O centroavante se isolou ainda mais na artilharia da competição e, de quebra, ficou a apenas um de se tornar o maior goleador do clube na história da disputa ao lado de Fred.

Contratado em 2022, Cano estufou as redes apenas três vezes na edição passada da Libertadores, muito em razão da eliminação precoce da equipe. Já nesta temporada, são 11 tentos anotados na principal competição do continente e o time segue mirando a taça. Na história, somente Fred, com 15 gols, marcou mais vezes com a camisa tricolor na disputa sul-americana. O ex-camisa 9, porém, entrou em campo 29 vezes, enquanto que o atual goleador atuou em somente 14 jogos – média de uma bola na rede por confronto.

Essa, inclusive, pode ser a primeira vez que um jogador do Fluminense termina a Libertadores no topo da artilharia. Paulinho, do Atlético Mineiro, é o atual vice-artilheiro, com sete gols. No entanto, o Galo já está fora da disputa. Dos atletas dos times que seguem na briga pelo título, Artur, do Palmeiras, é quem mais se aproxima de Cano. O palmeirense, porém, fez apenas cinco até o momento – menos da metade do argentino.

O próximo duelo do Fluminense pela Libertadores será no dia 4 de outubro, no Beira-Rio, pelo jogo de volta das semifinais, contra o Inter. Uma vitória simples colocará o Tricolor na grande decisão da competição.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz appointed Bangladesh's ODI captain for next 12 months

He replaces Shanto and will take over the reins from the Sri Lanka series next month

Mehidy Hasan Miraz has been appointed Bangladesh’s ODI captain for the next 12 months. He will take over from the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka next month.Mehidy’s ODI appointment means Bangladesh now have three different captains in the three formats. Mehidy took over from Najmul Hossain Shanto, who remains the Test captain, while Litton Das is the T20I captain.”It is a huge honour for me to be entrusted with this responsibility by the board,” Mehidy said. “Leading the country is a dream for any cricketer and I am grateful for the confidence the board has shown in me. I have every faith in this team. We have the talent and the belief to play fearless cricket. I want us to perform with confidence, play without inhibition, and continue giving our best for the country.”Related

Shanto reinstated as Bangladesh Test captain until end of WTC cycle

Rebuild, resurrect, recalibrate – Mehidy has an unenviable task as ODI captain

Mehidy wants to bring hope back in ODIs for Bangladesh

Shanto banks on Bangladesh's away form, squad flexibility for fresh WTC campaign

Mehidy led Bangladesh in four ODIs last year when Shanto was injured, first against Afghanistan and then in the West Indies. Bangladesh lost all four games. Mehidy also stood in as Test captain in the series against West Indies, helping Bangladesh draw the second Test in Jamaica after they lost the first Test. He has played 105 ODIs and is the fourth Bangladesh player to do the double of 1000 runs and take 100 wickets in the format.”The board felt that Miraz’s consistent performances with the bat and ball, his ability to fight and inspire the team, and his energetic presence on and off the field make him an ideal candidate to lead the ODI side during a transitional time,” BCB’s cricket operations chairman Nazmul Abedeen said. “We believe he has the temperament and maturity to take Bangladesh forward in this format.”Abedeen said that Shanto, who was appointed Bangladesh captain in all three formats in February last year, would continue to be in the leadership group.”We take this opportunity to thank Shanto for the positivity and character he has demonstrated as captain,” he said. “He remains very much a part of the leadership group and we know how important his batting is to the team.”Shanto led Bangladesh to four wins in 13 ODIs since 2023. Bangladesh won the ODI series against Sri Lanka last year but lost to New Zealand and Afghanistan. Bangladesh also exited the Champions Trophy in the first round earlier this year.Mehidy’s appointment also comes with the 2027 ODI World Cup not far away. Bangladesh are currently ranked No. 10 in the format. They need to be among the top-eight teams to earn automatic qualification for the World Cup.

Nuno personally makes West Ham decision about signing former Nottingham Forest ace

West Ham United boss Nuno Espírito Santo is already having a major say on the club’s incomings and outgoings, with the tactician making his mark yet again following a key transfer decision.

Nuno set to spearhead West Ham overhaul in East London

Almost immediately after replacing Graham Potter in late September, Nuno wasted no time at all in dropping his predecessor’s vice-captain, James Ward-Prowse, from the Portuguese’s first ever Hammers matchday squad to face Everton.

Nuno’s decision to exclude Ward-Prowse from West Ham’s first-team raised eyebrows, but it was clear that the midfielder, despite being a mainstay figure in Potter’s engine room, wasn’t part of his long-term plans.

The 51-year-old had already axed Ward-Prowse once before, during the Englishman’s loan spell at Nottingham Forest last season, where he sent him back to Rush Green midway through the campaign.

While the exact reasons behind his exclusion remain a mystery, it’s claimed that Nuno wants to prioritise energetic midfielders who can get about the pitch more tenaciously, with summer arrival Soungoutou Magassa immediately jumping into Ward-Prowse’s place.

More key calls that Nuno will be forced to make surround the long-term future of Niclas Füllkrug and West Ham’s striker options.

Fullkrug’s recently sustained thigh problem is expected to keep him out for several weeks, and the German’s injury woes are nothing new.

Since joining West Ham, he has struggled with recurring fitness problems — missing 28 games for West Ham and Germany combined last season alone. His return to the treatment table piles pressure on Nuno’s available attacking options, but January could come as a lifeline.

In light of Fullkrug’s latest absence, there is growing speculation that West Ham will look to bring in a new striker during the winter window, and it is believed that the Hammers are targeting Man United striker Joshua Zirkzee as a potential option.

Interestingly, it is reported that Nuno could even solve their centre-forward crisis before the window reopens.

West Ham have apparently been offered the chance to sign former Forest striker Emmanuel Dennis by representatives (Hammers News), and according to The Mail, there’s been tentative interest from their side too.

Nuno makes final decision on signing Emmanuel Dennis for West Ham

However, the outlet also reports that Nuno has blocked any West Ham move for Dennis, with the manager personally stepping in to stop the Nigerian from sealing a free transfer to the London Stadium.

emmanuel-dennis-transfer-gossip-leeds-united-nottingham-forest-alf-haaland-farke

The 27-year-old, who bagged 10 goals and six assists in 33 Premier League outings for Watford in 2021/2022, has failed to recapture that form ever since.

Dennis was on the books during Nuno’s tenure at Forest, but was never used — instead being sent out on loan to Istanbul Basaksehir, Watford and Blackburn Rovers until his contract was terminated by mutual consent in August.

Orel Mangala called his ex-City Ground teammate a “magician” during their time together at the City Ground, but this opinion definitely isn’t shared by Nuno, who’d rather wait until January to bring in a more elite-level number nine.

emmanuel-dennis-nottingham-forest-leeds-united-transfer-gossip-farke-bamford

This is definitely the right call, and Irons supporters would arguably much rather see highly-promising young striker Callum Marshall get a good run out.

The Northern Irishman, who’s made just two senior appearances for West Ham, scored for fun at youth level and already boasts 13 senior caps for his country.

The 20-year-old spent last season on loan at Huddersfield, where he bagged 10 goals in all competitions, and now could be Marshall’s baptism of fire.

Pretorius, Holden shine in wet as Middlesex snatch tie

Hampshire unable to hold off visitors’ chase in six-over contest on south coast

Max Holden fired Middlesex’s chase on a wet night in Southampton•Getty Images

Max Holden stole the limelight from Lhuan-dre Pretorius’s exhilarating debut as Hampshire Hawks and Middlesex tied a DLS thriller in the Men’s Vitality Blast.South African wunderkind Pretorius hammered a 22-ball 44 as Hawks struck 63 either side of the rain delays.Middlesex needed 76 to win after DLS recalculated the score, and after Chris Wood began with a maiden, Hawks were heavy favourites. But Holden whacked 38 in 18, before Kane Williamson’s 23 and Ben Geddes’ 10 took Middlesex to the brink but both sides had to share two points.It was Hampshire’s eighth T20 tie, and Middlesex’s fourth.Pretorius only arrived in the UK on Thursday having finished an unofficial Test for South Africa A in Saint Lucia on Wednesday. Jetlag seemingly didn’t have any impact on Pretorius as he rocketed a front-foot pull to the boundary off the first ball of the match, after Middlesex had chosen to bowl first.He continued with a well-timed clip off the pads and a wristy thrash through the covers to take two further boundaries off the opening over.Hawks fans had been made to wait for Pretorius – who arrived with high expectations after leading the scoring charts in the SA20 in his homeland over the winter, including a debut unbeaten 97.Dewald Brevis’ immediate impact only whetted the appetite for the second gun Proteas’ entrance, although it was somewhat dampened by the revelation that the pair would only be available until June 20 after being called up to the Test squad to face Zimbabwe.After striking 15 off the first over, runs continued to flow off Pretorius’ bat to reach 29 off 14 balls – although James Vince was caught at cover point off Zafar Gohar.Persistent rain hit after four overs and begun a two hour and 20-minute delay. Play was almost restarted for an 11 over-a-side match but another shower forced another delay. Eventually, a six-over-a-side game was started and Pretorius got going again.In two overs, Pretorius whizzed to 44 not out from 22 deliveries, including a bullet six over deep midwicket, with Toby Albert happy to just rotate the strike. It took Hampshire to 63 for 1, with DLS turning that into a 76-run target for the visitors.Their hopes of chasing that were dented as Wood begun with a maiden over – with just a leg bye on the total.James Fuller started with another dot and leg bye before Middlesex finally kicked into gear. Holden got away with an inside edge before carting over extra cover for four, over square for six and another inside edge for four boundaries in a row to take 19 off the second over.Another 18 runs off the following over got Middlesex closer to the rate but just as Holden reached 38 off 18 balls he skied straight up in the air.A Williamson blast for six made sure the DLS par was level going into the final over, with 13 required. Scott Currie went one, two, two with a dropped catch, two, a Ben Geddes four down the ground before a final ball bye to the wicketkeeper meant the game was tied.

تفاصيل مثيرة في زيارة ميسي "الخفية" إلى كامب نو.. وتصرفات جنونية من الأرجنتيني

كشفت صحيفة “سبورت” الإسبانية التفاصيل الخاصة برحلة نجم فريق إنتر ميامي ومنتخب الأرجنتين، ليونيل ميسي، المفاجئة إلى برشلونة حيث تفاجأ الجميع بالصور التي نشرها صباح يوم الإثنين، حيث تواجد في ملعب “كامب نو” الجديد.

وتسبب ليونيل ميسي في ضجة كبرى وسعادة غامرة لدي مشجعي برشلونة، خاصة وأن تواجده في معقل النادي الكتالوني لم يكن معروفًا لأي من المسؤولين، وهو بنفسه من أعلن عن تلك الزيارة بعدما نشر عبر حساباته الشخصية بمواقع التواصل الاجتماعي (لمطالعة التفاصيل من هنا).

وذكرت صحيفة “سبورت” الإسبانية أن ليونيل ميسي وصل إلى برشلونة على متن رحلة خاصة من مطار فورت لودرديل، ميامي، حوالي الساعة 2:30 ظهرًا، برفقة أقرب المقربين إليه ومواطنه رودريجو دي بول، حيث استغل كلاهما مشاركتهما المقررة مع المنتخب الأرجنتيني في أليكانتي يوم الإثنين لتقديم رحلتهما يومًا والاستمتاع ببضع ساعات من الاسترخاء في برشلونة.

وأوضحت أنه بعد يوم هادئ، قرر ليونيل ميسي الإقامة في فندق برينسيسا صوفيا مع بيبي كوستا، رفيق دربه في برشلونة لسنوات طويلة، ومن المثير للاهتمام أنه قد مُنح غرفة مطلة على ملعب كامب نو، ولم يره سوى أربعة أو خمسة مشجعين.

وراقب أولئك المنطقة التي يدخل ويخرج منها المشاهير بتكتم، معتقدين أن ميسي سيغادر من هناك، ولكن بدون مبالاة مدهشة، غادر النجم صاحب الـ38 عامًا من المدخل الرئيسي، وظهر واختلط بالناس كأي شخص عادي.

وفي ذلك المساء، تناول ليونيل ميسي العشاء مع دي بول في مطعم شهير في المدينة، معروف بأجوائه الحميمة ومكان شهير للاعبين الذين يزورون برشلونة، ثم لاحقًا سافرا إلى كامب نو.

ونزل ميسي من السيارة أمام تانايتوري دي ليس كورتيس، حيث تفقد الملعب الذي كان موطنه لأكثر من عقدين، وفي تلك اللحظة صادفه أحد مشجعي برشلونة، وهو من رواد المدينة الرياضية، ولم يستطع إلا أن ينادي اسمه.

والتقط الأرجنتيني، الذي كان ودودًا ومبتسمًا طوال الوقت، صورة مع ذلك الشخص، ثم دخل الملعب من نفس المدخل ليخطو مرة أخرى على أرض الملعب حيث كتب بعضًا من أروع فصول تاريخ كرة القدم، حيث مثلت لحظة حافلة بالعاطفة والرمزية كونها أول عودة له إلى “كامب نو” منذ رحيله المفاجئ والمؤلم في صيف 2021.

وأشارت إلى أنه بعد الزيارة، عاد ميسي ودي بول بتكتم إلى الفندق للراحة لبضع ساعات قبل أن يستقلا رحلة خاصة صباح اليوم إلى أليكانتي، حيث انضما بالفعل إلى المنتخب الأرجنتيني.
