After their Europa League defeat to Athletic Bilbao, Rangers’ manager, Barry Ferguson, claims that their future “needs to be sorted soon” because they still have a “lot of work to do.”

Rangers made it to the quarter-finals after Ferguson had pushed them past Fenerbahce in the last 16 with goals from Oihan Sancet and Nico Williams at San Mames.

The former club captain has won four, lost four, and drawn two of his ten matches as the manager, replacing Philippe Clement in February until the end of the season.

When Ferguson was asked about his future, Ferguson responded, “Where this leaves me now is that I’m going to finish the season as strongly as possible.”

“I haven’t sat down and discussed it,” but it needs to be resolved quickly because the club needs to do a lot of work.

Ferguson acknowledged that Rangers were defeated by a “qualitative side” at Bilbao.

He lamented two decisions, including a shirt pull on Cyriel Dessers that might have earned him a penalty and a red card despite the goalless game, that he believed could have altered the game.

However, Athletic continued to dominate the tournament despite the officials’ objections, winning in the end.

With only five league games remaining and the title almost over, Rangers will be looking at Ferguson’s fate as part of their plan to overhaul their squad and takeover.

He said, “I was enjoying myself, but I also had an opportunity that not many people get.” It would have been crazy if I had pushed it back.

Next season, I’d love to have Barry here.

Following the Athletic defeat, Rangers captain James Tavernier backed Ferguson.

The 33-year-old claimed he was organizing but “switched off” as Oscar de Marcos picked out Williams for the second goal in Bilbao, and that he also accepted responsibility for it.

The defender continued, “We need to reflect on this season because it hasn’t been good enough.” There will be a lot of change, according to the statement.

What were the experts’ opinions?

Steven Thompson, a former Rangers striker,

In the next five games, I would be watching the younger players if I were Barry’s age. Incorporate them in the squad to determine their level of maturity.

Because you always want something to play for, it’s a terrible situation to be in.

Steven Naismith, a former Rangers striker,

It’s past time for this month. It will be very difficult to motivate everyone until the takeover is confirmed.

Unconsciously, the level drops when there is nothing to play for.

Andy Halliday, a former Rangers midfielder,

Chris Hughes sparks CBB outrage as fans demand exit over ‘disgusting’ act

When Chris Hughes appeared in the X-rated act, Celebrity Big Brother fans were aghast.

Celebrity Big Brother viewers have been left repulsed after a move from Chris Hughes. The reality star left host AJ Odudu and viewers completely gobsmacked after he decided to wee in a cat litter tray while dressed as a cat. Appearing on spin-off show Late and Live, AJ shared the clip as she was heard saying: “Disgusting!”

In the video, celebs could be seen dressed up in cat costumes as part of an upcoming challenge. It started off cute, but things took a quick turn when Chris Hughes asked JoJo Siwa to block the door to the changing room for him. He warned her: “I need a wee.”

The former Love Island star went on to ask his best friend, “Can you block the door?” He then pleaded: “Don’t tell anyone I’ve weed though.”

After JoJo erupted and began to walk in her fur suit in front of the door, Chris leaped over a box full of cat litter. Wait a minute, American girl, because you’re frightening me, he said. The reality star giggled before following her advice and closing his eyes.

He did appear to have let a stream of liquid splash into the trash can up until this point, though it was unclear whether or not he was making the joke. Late and Live viewers could be heard groaning profaneously at the audience.

The audience then screamed as Chris proceeded to wipe the evidence away from the litter tray, presumably while also touching his own urine.

Horrified viewers took to social media to express their opinions on the contentious incident, with one user saying, “Chris needs to get a backdoor eviction for that blatant nonsense.” He even washed his hands afterward.

Another firmly stated: “Chris’ only excuse is that he was drunk. That’s not sober behaviour.” A third asked: “Didn’t Chris grow up on a farm or something?! I swear I remember that from when he was in Love Island.” While a third fumed: “Ewww he is disgusting.” “I feel so nauseated. They’re so so weird,” said another.

The stars are ecstatic over Big Brother’s recent release of a sizable announcement. Other people’s upsets were also depicted in Ella Rae Wise, who was shown showing her sobbing and receiving comfort from her housemates.

Many of them were shocked, and some of it was unexpected. There were a lot of tears when the stars announced who had been chosen for the following live eviction.

Daley Thompson, a retired athlete, and Patsy Palmer, a member of EastEnders, were confirmed as the next two stars to be cast in a public vote, according to Big Brother. On Friday night, viewers will cast their ballots to decide who they want to keep in, with one of them being eliminated.

Big Brother shocked the housemates by revealing that only two people had the chop this time when he named the nominated housemates. The stars were gasping as a result, some revealing that they didn’t anticipate just two names to appear.

Daley admitted he was okay with it, but he appeared unimpressed in the midst of the shock of the uproar. Patsy and Pat made up their minds, but Pat soon shed tears.

Ukraine and US sign memorandum on minerals deal, Kyiv says

According to Kyiv’s first deputy prime minister and economy minister, the United States and Ukraine have signed a memorandum as the first step toward a conclusion of a mineral development agreement.

Yulia Svyrydenko, a member of the social media platform X, wrote, “We are happy to announce the signing, with our American partners, of a Memorandum of Intent, which opens the way for an Economic Partnership Agreement and the establishment of the Investment Fund for the Reconstruction of Ukraine.”

In February, Kyiv and Washington had been talking about a deal to extract Ukraine’s strategic minerals, but a conflict between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy temporarily scuppered progress.

Trump claims that the agreement, which was intended to compensate for the aid provided to Ukraine by his predecessor, Joe Biden, should pay US royalty payments for the proceeds of Ukrainian mining of resources and rare minerals.

Svyrydenko said work was still being done to secure a final agreement despite not providing specifics about the memo.

We hope the Fund will be a useful tool for attracting money to help with our nation’s reconstruction, infrastructure modernization, business support, and the development of new economic opportunities, she said.

The document will be very useful for both countries given the significant progress and the current pace.

At the conclusion of last week, the Trump administration offered a new, more expansive deal, so the Ukrainian delegation made their way to Washington for negotiations. The original framework agreement that was reached has never been ratified.

Trump earlier told reporters at the White House, “We have a minerals deal, which I guess will be signed on Thursday.

Zelenskyy had previously stated that both nations could sign memorandas of intent online.

A memorandum of intent is present. And Zelenskyy in Kyiv stated to the media that we have good, constructive intentions.

The US side made the offer to sign the memorandum before the comprehensive agreement, which would need to be ratified by the Ukrainian parliament, he added.

In the event of a ceasefire, US officials claim that bolstering American business interests in Ukraine will help deter Russian aggression in the future.

Full House’s Dave Coulier ’48 hours’ from dying of common cold amid cancer battle

After being diagnosed with cancer last year, Dave Coulier began chemotherapy, but his immune system weakened, forcing him to spend days in the hospital.

Hollywood star Dave Coulier has shared a harrowing experience amid a long health battle. The Full House star was diagnosed with cancer in November 2024, and admitted that the disease left him hours from death in a recent scare.

Dave, 65, who played Joey Gladstone in the iconic sitcom, is battling Stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The actor is undergoing chemotherapy to battle the cancer, and revealed that the chemo itself left him so weak that a cold almost killed him had he been ill for a further 48 hours.

Speaking to his Full House co-stars Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber, Dave shared that he was hospitalised for days during the terrifying time, until tests later revealed that he was only suffering from rhinovirus – the most frequent cause of the common cold.

Your red blood cells deplete after chemotherapy, Dave said, and my blood levels were so low. Your immune system just kind of crashes, regardless of your levels, including white blood cells, everything. And so I woke up cold-prone for ten days after receiving that last chemo treatment. So I spent four days in the hospital while receiving an antibiotic IV. I was patiently awaiting my fever to go down.

The How I Met Your Mother star explained that his severe symptoms were confusing even the medical professionals, sharing: “And they said, ‘Look, we don’t know what’s going on.’ At that point my body started secreting these proteins that were indicative of a massive heart attack.

We don’t know what’s happening, but we don’t believe you’ve had a heart attack. And when they finally said, “Your fever is gone, you can go home,” they finally said. “

After his stay, Dave was given the complete green light to leave for his home. However, he acknowledged that things could have changed. But they claimed, “We could have lost you if you had waited another 48 hours,” Dave said.

Dave said that his wife, Melissa Bring, was the one who saved his life by encouraging to go to hospital. Melissa herself recently spoke about how Dave is coping with his diagnosis, and explained how he tried to stay in high spirits throughout.

She said in January, “He has some really tough days, and it gets tougher and more difficult as the chemo has been accumulating.”

Melissa added: “He has such a positive attitude, and you need that in order to really fight it. Every morning, if he’s feeling up for it, we try to put on a song and do a little dance party with the dogs, because when you do feel good, you have to celebrate that too.”

After admitting his initial difficulties when he revealed his diagnosis on The Today Show, Dave’s determination to stay strong throughout comes as a result.

He said at the time, “It’s been a rollercoaster ride for sure.” He claimed that doctors “biopsied it, taken it out, and said, “We wish we had better news for you but you have B cell lymphoma, we need to get you into chemotherapy right away” after the doctors told him it was a “gut punch.”

Dobey beats Bunting for Rotterdam triumph

Kelly Deckers/PDC

On a night of shocks in Rotterdam, Chris Dobey defeated Stephen Bunting to claim his first Premier League victory on 2025.

Few would have anticipated the all-English final, with the bottom two going into night 11;

Dobey reached the semi-finals with a 6-2 victory over Nathan Aspinall, his first final since a 6-1 loss to Luke Humphries on opening night.

The 34-year-old Northumberland-born player won his second consecutive Premier League nightly win 5-1 over Bunting and sealed an impressive victory with an average of 101.84.

Dobey, who is currently sixth in the table, is only three points clear of the four play-off spots, while only five points keep Aspinall, who is seventh, and Rob Cross, who are both seventh.

“I think I can still make it to the top four,” she said. If I keep this performance, I have a good chance the following week, he said.

“I’m a fighter, I’ve won big matches and been cruising all the way back to the top.” I’m going to stay until the end, and I’m here to win.

With the defeat of world champion Luke Littler and Dutchman Michael van Gerwen, Bunting won two of the final three matches.

Premier League champion Littler defeated Rob Cross 6-5 in the quarter-finals despite his opponent’s 110 average in the gloomy Ahoy Arena.

In an effort to keep his arrows on track, the 18-year-old, who is leading the league and aiming for a fifth nightly win of the year, went for heavier darts, up three grams to 26g.

Price, “Darts blowing everywhere”

Gerwyn PriceKelly Deckers/PDC

After being defeated by Aspinall in the final eight, Gerwyn Price was unhappy with the breeze on stage in Rotterdam, according to several players.

Aspinall initially warned him that he had a shoulder injury, but his Welsh opponent saw off against him without any symptoms.

After that, Price said on Instagram, “We move on to the next week, and this week was pointless.” Everywhere, the darts were exploding.

“I’m hoping we’ll stop coming here and look for alternative locations.” You look just as foolish as you appear if you believe that the situation applies to both players.

Cross had a five-match losing streak against Littler, but he appeared to be on the verge of victory before his rival clinched a 145 finish.

Littler was the 2018 world champion, but the teenager held on for the win again, 110.15 to 108.56.

Dutch fans disappointed when home hero Van Gerwen lost to Bunting 6-5.

The seven-time Premier League champion has only advanced to the top ten games in the first ten weeks, only to reach a single nightly final.
