Celtic vs. Rangers in the Scottish Premiership

When: Sunday, March 16th, 2019 12:30 GMT

Rangers have the opportunity to advance once more to the Scottish Premiership with a victory over Celtic at their fourth meeting of the Glasgow giants this season.

The team under Brendan Rodgers will only be two wins away from glory if they win. After their epic Europa League victory over Fenerbahce on Thursday, Barry Ferguson’s Rangers must re-start in their first derby under interim manager.

Can Rodgers be beat by Ferguson?

As a Rangers player, Barry Ferguson faced Celtic 39 times, many of them as their captain, and he only enjoyed the excitement of the Glasgow Big Two’s fight.

He now prepares to face his fiercest foes in a dugout bow.

And after taking on Fenerbahce and Jose Mourinho in the Europa League, he prepares to battle his wits against the man with the best Old Firm winning ratio in the competition’s history.

No other manager has a higher success rate than Brendan Rodgers, who has only lost two of his 21 games against Rangers.

Will Celtic win the title before splitting?

For then-manager Phillipe Clement, that victory was both heartening and inconvenient. The Belgian won only one game of its own against Celtic, and despite that impressive performance, there was still an 11-point gap in its wake.

Since then, the gap between the two teams has increased to 16 and the River Clyde is still metaphorically connected.

In the League Cup final against Rangers in December, Rodgers also won on penalties.

The chequered flag is almost visible to Celtic. If they win this one, Hearts will need two more victories at home and St. Johnstone.

Could Maeda appoint Kyogo as her boss?

The departure of Daizen Maeda from Kyogo Furuhashi’s shadows has been a remarkable development for Rodgers.

The forward has 27 goals in 27 games. For context, Kyogo had 34 assists last season, while Maeda had nine this term.

You’d assume there won’t be any more.

Given that Kyogo helped them score eight goals while playing for Rangers at Parkhead, Celtic have only hardly missed him, and Maeda is one of the reasons.

How do Rangers suffer from fatigue?

Ferguson resisted stating that he could not possibly go that far into the future when questioned about the possibility of facing Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League quarter-finals.

The interim Rangers manager acknowledged that getting enough players out of the team that was stricken on Thursday was his top priority.

The Ibrox side felt physically the day of the see-saw shoot-out, but it was also a mentally exhausting evening with Ferguson still performing post-match media duties just before midnight.

If they want to take on a Celtic side that has had a full week to prepare, this will be a major test of their recovery ability.

Although Cyriel Dessers and Mohamed Diomande were both forced to miss well before the game on Thursday, Rangers’ most significant game of the week was Fenerbahce.

What can we infer from Celtic Park’s history?

Regardless of how much is at stake in the larger picture, this Celtic-Rangers game is still significant to supporters of both teams.

Since Conor Goldson’s double saw Rangers record back-to-back wins at Parkhead in 2020, it has been a rarity for them to win in the east end of the city.

They will hope that Callum McGregor’s troublesome calf prevents him from participating in this game for a 43rd time after just two of their 20 previous outings, which dates back to 2010.

Ferguson and McGregor both enjoyed these games, and McGregor’s absence would increase the visitors’ chances of outperforming the odds, as they did in Europe.

Celtic can smell the title and are ready for a party with away fans for the first time since 2023, regardless of whether their illustrious captain is present.

Wike Praises Ijaw People, Vows to Uphold Constitutional Duties

By in News, Nigeria News

Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), praised the Ijaw people as “good people” who shouldn’t be associated with negativity.

Wike made this statement at a Thanksgiving celebration on Saturday in the Asari-Toru Local Government Area (LGA) of Rivers State.

Rivers State’s immediate former governor reiterated his commitment to upholding constitutional laws by using the occasion to address pressing political issues.

In carrying out their constitutional duties, Wike emphasized that he would not be in charge of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

The minister also criticized Tammy Danagogo, the state governor, and other politicians for their egotistical interests, as well.

He claimed that the governor allegedly used an ex parte order to present the budget to only four people by conspiring with the SSG and his older brother, Justice Danagogo, a judge.

Wike rebuffed what he called unethical political maneuvers, warning that “they will lead you to hellfire.”

Wike further criticized attempts to stoke racial sentiments, particularly in light of Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s recent court victories. He reaffirmed his resolve to fight back against those who seek to challenge him and reminded the audience of his earlier victories.

“We cannot be forced out of this,” said the statement. Someone will simply come because they gave him power over night and told us to leave. All of you suffered. Who told him that he could direct us to leave? Will you consent to the “get out”? Wike addressed the audience, which attracted enthusiastic applause from the audience.

Many people enjoyed the Minister’s speech because he reaffirmed his desire to defend the interests of his allies and stop any attempts to destabilize his state’s political system.

He declared, “I’ve already defeated them, and I’ll continue to defeat them,” drawing audience applause.

Deadly storms kill at least 17 across three US states

By in News, World News

According to local authorities, at least 17 people have died as a result of violent storms and tornadoes in some areas of the country.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol said in a statement on Saturday that at least 11 people were killed overnight in the state’s Midwestern state, adding that “the Patrol and local agencies continue incident operations in several locations.”

A tornado that tore through a man’s home was one of the victims. It was unrecognizable as a place to call home. According to Butler County Coroner Jim Akers, the scene where rescuers arrived was “just a debris field.” The floor appeared to be turned over. We were “walking on walls.”

After some “tornadoes, thunderstorms, and large hail” severe impacted some areas, the highway patrol discovered downed trees, power lines, and damage to residential and commercial buildings.

According to officials in the state’s neighboring state of Arkansas, the storms resulted in three fatalities and 29 injuries. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the governor, declared a state of emergency.

Huckabee Sanders said in a statement that “we have teams out surveying the damage from last night’s tornadoes and first responders on the ground to assist.” I recently received $250, 000 from our Disaster Recovery fund to provide resources for this operation for each of the impacted communities.

Authorities in Amarillo, Texas, reported three fatal car crashes on Friday in a dust storm.

More than 100 wildfires were sprayed with dust storms and a powerful storm system that was moving across the nation.

An area that is home to more than 100 million people is expected to experience severe weather, including hurricane-force winds. From the Canadian border to Texas, winds soaring up to 130 kilometers per hour (80 miles per hour) were forecast, putting in the way of wildfire risk in the south and blizzard conditions in the colder northern regions.

More than 130 fires were reported across Oklahoma, prompting evacuations in some communities. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol claimed that several tractor-trailers were toppled by the strong winds. More than 200 homes have been harmed or destroyed by wildfires, according to the governor of the state.

Israel kills at least nine Palestinians, including journalists, in Gaza

By in News, World News

In northern Gaza’s Beit Lahiya, an Israeli drone attack claimed the lives of at least nine people, including three journalists, and injured several others, according to Palestinian media.

A relief team was reportedly targeted by the attack on Saturday when it was accompanied by journalists and photographers. The dead include at least three local journalists.

The Palestinian Journalists’ Protection Center called on Gaza ceasefire mediators to press Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to carry out the agreed truce and prisoner exchange and claimed in a statement that “the journalists were documenting humanitarian relief efforts for those affected by Israel’s genocidal war.”

A crucial demand from Hamas is that Israel start discussions over the second phase of the ceasefire, which would require it to negotiate a permanent end to the conflict.

According to Tareq Abu Azzoum, a reporter for Khan Younis in southern Gaza, various humanitarian organizations and charities have begun to increase their efforts to help Palestinians, particularly during Ramadan, since the first phase began in January.

“Beit Lahiya’s attack has sparked a significant swathe of condemnation,” the statement goes. Israeli drones have been hovering above Rafah City and Gaza’s southern border, according to Abu Azzoum, while eyewitnesses have confirmed that they have been the subject of Israeli attacks in the last 24 hours.

Hamas described the Beit Lahiya attack as a “horrific massacre” and “a continuation” of Israeli “war crimes against our people and a dangerous escalation that shows how stubbornly it continues to be invading international norms and conventions.”

Israeli soldiers were hit by “two terrorists operating a drone that posed a threat,” the Israeli military said in a statement in the Beit Lahiya region.

“Later, a number of additional terrorists entered a vehicle and entered the drone’s operating system. Without providing any supporting supporting supporting documentation, it continued, “Israeli military] struck the terrorists.”

According to the Gaza-based Ministry of Health, at least 48, 543 Palestinians have died and 111, 981 have been injured in Israel’s war against Gaza. More than 61,700 Palestinians have been reported missing under the rubble, according to Gaza’s government media office, who has updated the death toll to more than 61,700.

Aid blockade: “Crise that has no end in sight”

Israel halted entry of all aid into the enclave on March 2, just after the end of the first phase of its fragile ceasefire with Hamas, raising concerns about “deepening hunger” and additional hardships for Gaza’s citizens.

A crucial water desalination plant’s electricity has also been cut, putting a threat to Gaza’s potable water supply.

According to Abu Azzoum, “people are currently forced to rely on alternative, harmful coping mechanisms, such as cutting back on their daily meals.”

Another sign of a crisis that has no end in sight, he continued, “Families are currently struggling to afford the meal to break their fast during Ramadan.”

Israel has been accused of violating international law and crimes against humanity for cutting off Gaza aid, according to human rights organizations.

According to Human Rights Watch (HRW) researcher Niku Jafarnia, Israel’s “deliberate” restriction of Gaza’s access to water amounts to “acts of genocide.”

According to the researcher, who spoke from Beirut, Lebanon, Israel is reducing Gaza’s water supply “not only by] attacking desalination facilities, but also by shutting off water through the pipelines that enter Gaza from Israel, by preventing fuel from being pumped into the country, by destroying and attacking wastewater facility plants,” he told Al Jazeera.

Additionally, it’s a matter of attacking a warehouse owned by the water municipality, where millions of dollars of repair equipment are kept, and not allowing any repair materials that are necessary to actually reconstruct and repair a lot of the water infrastructure.

In limbo, ceasefire talks?

As ceasefire negotiations continue, Israel’s aid embargo and recent attacks in Gaza come at a time when.

Nour Odeh, a journalist from Amman, Jordan, reports that the truce negotiations are still in limbo because each of the parties is firmly in favor.

Has offered to release the bodies of four Israeli prisoners who are both citizens. Israel has its own proposal, while US envoy Steve Witkoff has suggested something more in line with Netanyahu’s position, she said. “Nearly neither here nor there,” she said.
