Glasgow Rangers will be aiming to build on their Hampden heroics during their Scottish Cup semi-final win over Hearts on Sunday as they chase down what would be a stunning treble success.
Philippe Clement has already won one trophy during his relatively short time in Glasgow thus far – the League Cup last December – and will be desperate to cap off a fine debut season in style.
It will be an exciting final few weeks of the campaign as both Rangers and Celtic battle it out for domestic glory.
The Old Firm rivals could also be fighting each other in the summer transfer window over one particular signing too…
Rangers transfer news
The player in question is Aberdeen midfielder Connor Barron, who has been linked with a potential move to both Rangers and Celtic in the previous 12 months.
His contract expires at the end of the season, and it looks as though he is not going to sign an extension, while interest also has emerged from Serie A, with both Sassuolo and Cagliari weighing up whether to swoop for the Scotsman in the coming weeks.
Connor Barron Aberdeen
After his Scottish Cup semi-final display against Celtic, former Ibrox midfielder Andy Halliday has suggested that either of the Old Firm should be doing all they can to bring the player to Glasgow.
"Personally I thought Connor Barron was the best player on the pitch on Saturday, to be honest," Halliday said. "And he's out of contract in the summer.
"I'm not trying to prise him away from Aberdeen but I always feel they are the no-brainers that Celtic and Rangers should be looking for, especially when they're trying to get homegrown talent for their European squads. I thought he was excellent.”
Considering Rangers wouldn’t have to pay a fee, plus the fact he won't expect bumper wages indicate this is a move that Clement should be all over, especially as it can boost the club’s homegrown contingent ahead of European competition next season.
It wouldn’t be the first time the Light Blues have signed a player from Aberdeen and the Gers could repeat their Ryan Jack masterclass from 2017 by signing Barron.
Connor Barron could be Ryan Jack 2.0 for Rangers
Jack is also out of contract at the end of the season as it looks increasingly likely that he will depart Glasgow after seven seasons playing for the club.
In that time, he has made 210 appearances for the Light Blues, winning all three domestic trophies on offer to him along with helping the side reach the 2022 Europa League final.
Injury issues have stalled his progression over the previous few years as Jack has missed 126 games through a variety of different setbacks since the summer of 2017.
Ryan Jack
Even this season, the Scot has started just 12 matches in all competitions. Heading into the new season, Clement will want players in his squad whom he can trust to be available for nearly every match, which means Jack will be shown the exit door at the end of the season.
Barron is practically a like-for-like replacement for the 32-year-old. It is now up to Clement to work his magic in the coming weeks.
Connor Barron’s statistics for Aberdeen this season
The 21-year-old typically operates as a defensive midfielder yet has still scored once while chipping in with two assists in all competitions this season for the Dons.
His growing maturity was evident as the youngster featured in all six of Aberdeen’s Europa Conference League group stage matches, ranking fifth among his teammates for accurate passes per game (18.8) while also ranking fourth for big chances created (one), second for key passes per game (1.2) and third for tackles per game (2.2), demonstrating his skills across a range of metrics on the highest stage.
Hailed as “brilliant” and “brave” by his former manager at Aberdeen, Jim Goodwin, for his displays last season, it appears as though the Scottish starlet is taking things to a whole new level throughout the current campaign.
Still only 21, there is no doubt Barron will be an excellent signing for the future, but judging by his performances in a struggling Aberdeen side this term, he is more than ready to take over the void which will be left by Jack’s imminent departure.

With age on his side plus the fact he will cost peanuts, it is a move Clement simply cannot pass up, especially as the 5 foot 9 titan could form a stunning midfield duo with Mohamed Diomande.
How Connor Barron could fit in at Rangers
Barron has shown glimpses of his influential defensive abilities this season, ranking in the top 18% for tackles won per 90 along with ranking in the top 17% for interceptions per 90, showing that he is able to protect the backline during matches while winning the ball back and starting attacks from deep.
Diomande is a more forward-thinking midfielder. Alongside Barron, the Ivorian would have a greater licence to bomb forward often, assisting the forwards with the many attacks Rangers conduct during games.
Indeed, since arriving at Ibrox, Diomande has scored twice in the top flight, created a big chance, averaged 1.4 key passes per game and succeeded with 50% of his dribbles, showcasing a desire to join the front four when Rangers have the ball in the final third.
Mohammed Diomande
This duo could be the future of the Rangers' midfield for years to come. Barron is able to screen the defence while moving the ball on accurately as Diomande bursts forward into the opposition danger zone in order to add an extra body during the attacking phase.
Having someone like Barron alongside him could give the 22-year-old more confidence to leave his position, knowing the young Scot would be there to sweep up anything in his absence.

ByRoss Kilvington Apr 24, 2024
The move is a no-brainer for the Gers, especially considering Clement is trying to establish a player-trading model at the club, which could see someone like Barron eventually sold for millions of pounds worth of profit.
The next few weeks could be very interesting indeed.
Whilst Jurgen Klopp's farewell tour continues to take several bumps along the road, Liverpool have turned their attention to life without the German, and locking up a succession plan not just for their manager but also for Virgil van Dijk.
Liverpool's summer plans
The Reds find themselves in a slightly unpredictable position when it comes to keeping hold of key players. Without the lure of Klopp, it wouldn't be as big a shock if players, like the manager, decided that the time was right for a fresh start.
Of course, it remains to be seen if that proves to be the case, but moments like Mohamed Salah's argument with Klopp in Liverpool's 2-2 draw against West Ham only fuel any fire.
That said, Michael Edwards will be keen to ensure that his return goes off without a hitch, which should see any loose ends tied up before they can spark further concern. According to Fabrizio Romano, new contracts for van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold will take priority this summer, whilst Liverpool also 'want' to offer Jarell Quansah a new deal following his rise this season.
Arne Slot wants Liverpool to sign "incredible" ace who’s broken Reds hearts
He could be the Dutchman’s first signing at Anfield.
ByHenry Jackson Apr 27, 2024
The young defender has emerged from a loan spell at Bristol Rovers to comfortably become Liverpool's replacement for Joel Matip, and is well on his way to stepping into the void that van Dijk will eventually leave behind. At 21-years-old, Quansah has more than earned a new deal.
Jarell Quansah.
Almost certain to be sealed with new and improved terms, Quansah will have the chance to make the first impression needed to even claim a starting place next season under Arne Slot, who looks destined to become the next Liverpool manager.
"Outstanding" Quansah is the future of Liverpool's defence
Replacing Klopp will be difficult, but it won't be too long before those at Anfield have to start thinking about replacing van Dijk in an equally impossible task. By that stage, however, Quansah should be primed and ready to fill that void. He's already shown plenty of signs that he's capable of mirroring the traits that make van Dijk so imperious at times, with excellent passing range and calmness on the ball that only the top centre-backs possess.

Albeit having played far fewer minutes, Quansah has shown in a small sample size exactly why he's capable of eventually succeeding the Dutchman at Anfield. Klopp will be well aware of that too after praising the young defender in January.
Klopp said, via Mersey Sport Live: "Jarell has played an absolutely outstanding preseason. Jarell is one of these players where people already knew he was a real talent.
“He’s played only really good games when he came on against Newcastle he was outstanding in a really difficult game and from that moment its all fine its really good."
To say that Newcastle United have endured a frustrating season would be an understatement, with their injury list piling high enough to already force their attention towards the summer transfer window.
Newcastle transfer news
In their first season back in the Champions League since the 2002/03 season, Newcastle have learned a harsh lesson about squad depth, with Eddie Howe quickly left scrambling for options amid a packed schedule. What hasn't helped is his injury list, however, which has seen no limit on the number of players to reach the treatment table.

The biggest concerns on that list should be Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles, who both suffered ACL injuries to not only end their current campaign but likely half of next season as well. This means that Newcastle have just one recognised central defender available in the form of Fabian Schar, whilst also deploying left-back Dan Burn in the role. A short-term solution, the Magpies have turned their attention towards the summer window.
Newcastle defender Sven Botman.
According to Sky Sports' Florian Plettenberg, Newcastle are now eyeing a move to sign Mohamed Simakan from RB Leipzig. The defender is reportedly ready to leave the Bundesliga club this summer, with his €70m (£60m) release clause up for grabs this summer.
Potentially competing against Tottenham Hotspur for his signature, Newcastle may hope that Simakan prefers starting opportunities at St James' Park over a possible place on the bench in North London.
"Phenomenon" Simakan could step up in Botman's absence
Even during his Strasbourg days, Simakan was impressing plenty, with reserve team manager Francois Keller saying via the official Bundesliga website:
"We quickly realised that we were dealing with a phenomenon. He tore the place up… I said to myself that we had the new Varane. He was athletic, powerful, assured and calm."
Now, it is Newcastle who could benefit if they make their move this summer to find a player who is more than capable of filling the shoes of the injured Botman next season.

As the summer approaches, the Magpies could be wise to make their move for the 23-year-old as soon as possible to fend off any interest from Spurs. Even if the deal is steep, the numbers indicate that Simakan is not a player to miss out on.
Chelsea are having yet another below-par season and find themselves currently residing in mid-table in the Premier League.
The London-based club are a massive 14 points away from the top four despite spending over £1b over the last two seasons on transfer and loan fees alone.
This figure is astonishingly high and puts into perspective how badly they've played since the arrival of Todd Boehly at Stamford Bridge.
Out of the many additions made by Boehly in order to try to make his club one of Europe's powerhouses once again, the vast majority have failed to make an impact on the club since their arrival.
There is, however, one signing in particular which stands out above the rest for being woeful despite earning a bumper wage.
Marc Cucurella's form since joining Chelsea
Marc Cucurella joined Chelsea in August 2022 from Brighton and Hove Albion for a fee which was worth around £63m.
Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella.
The move came off the back of his first in England's top flight, where he performed above and beyond what was expected of him.
For his one and only season as a Brighton player, the Spain international managed a total of 38 appearances and contributed to two goals.
Although the stats may not showcase how solid he was across the season, he showed enough to get Chelsea to spend enough to make him the second-most expensive left-back in world football.
Since arriving at Stamford Bridge, the one-time Barcelona full-back has appeared on 45 occasions but, he has only garnered a total of two assists during that time.
Ben Chiwell Chelsea
His regular role in Chelsea's starting XI is largely due to the sheer number of injuries and time on the sidelines that Ben Chilwell has been faced with.
The England international has spent a total of 83 games on the sidelines since the arrival of the 25-year-old, which has resulted in the Blues relying on Cucurella more often than not.
To make matters worse, during their Premier League clash against Everton on the 10 December, Cucurella was himself struck down by injury and forced off the pitch early.
Wage Burners
Football FanCast's Wage Burners series explores the salaries of the modern-day game.
His injury was so severe that he had to undergo surgery, which has kept him sidelined for the past couple of months.
As with all players who get injured, their salaries are still paid in full, which leaves clubs in a bit of a pickle. Hence, why now, the Spain international is bleeding the London-based club dry.
Marc Cucrella's total cost at Chelsea
After being at the club for around 81 weeks now, the salary Cucurella has received is eye-watering. Over the time he has spent at the club, the 5 foot 8 defender has gained around £12m in wages alone – raking in a staggering £175k-per-week, as per Capology.

It would appear that such an outlay – which comes to £75m in total when including his initial transfer fee – has not been justified, with talkSPORT pundit Jamie O'Hara even branding him a "disgrace" following Chelsea's Champions League tie against Real Madrid last season.
This judgement came after Chilwell was sent off after pulling on the shoulder of Rodrygo in the box. The only reason the England international decided to commit the foul in the first place was due to the poor positioning of Cucurella for the goal.
This isn't the first time a situation has occurred like this with Cucurella, and it likely won't be the last. So, not only have Chelsea spent a near-record-breaking fee on the left-back, but they have also made themselves £12m lighter for a player who seemingly isn't up to the standard they expect.
So, it is without doubt that the left-back has bled the club dry and looks set to be yet another Boehly signing who won't make the cut in the near future.
da dobrowin： Newcastle United face Everton at St James' Park tonight looking to make it back-to-back Premier League victories after the stunning 4-3 comeback over West Ham United on Saturday.
da marjack bet： Forward Alexander Isak impressed once again for the Magpies, scoring twice, taking his league tally to 14 this season in his 21 top-flight appearances.
The win was Eddie Howe's first since the 2nd of March, when his side defeated Wolves 3-0 – with the latest victory seeing the club jump up to 8th place in the Premier League.
However, it was not all plain sailing for the Magpies during the encounter, with Jamaal Lascelles suffering an ACL tear, subsequently joining fellow centre-back Sven Botman on the sidelines for up to nine months.
Another one of Howe's men hobbled off during the game against David Moyes' side, with the player needing to be replaced by one of the club's star performers from Saturday.
Miguel Almiron should not start against Everton
Despite not starting the encounter, winger Miguel Almiron was brought on in the 56th minute for Howe's side before being replaced through injury just 11 minutes later.
The 30-year-old hobbled off with a suspected knee problem, but recent reports suggest that it's only a minor problem, with his withdrawal mainly as a precaution given Lascelles' earlier issue.
Jamaal Lascelles for Newcastle.
Magpies boss Howe decided to bring the Paraguayan on ahead of attacker Harvey Barnes on Saturday, despite Almiron enduring a torrid run of form, with the attacker failing to score since the 4-1 victory over PSG back in October.
Regardless of whether he is fit, Almiron should not start, with the £60k-per-week dud failing to replicate any of his form from last campaign, which saw the forward score on 11 occasions in the Premier League.
Newcastle United winger Miguel Almiron.
He has only managed to notch three goals in the league during 2023/24, with the former Atlanta United man struggling to match the form of one Magpies talent.
The man to start against Everton tonight
After his two-goal cameo against the Hammers on Saturday, £38m man Barnes is deserving of a start tonight, with the 26-year-old having the ability to change a game in an instant, as demonstrated over the weekend.
Despite only being on the pitch for 23 minutes, the former Leicester City attacker scored twice and registered four shots, all of which were on target, to turn the game around to secure all three points for his team in the 4-3 win.
Barnes then earned a rating of 9/10 from Newcastle Chronicle writer Lee Ryder, with the journalist branding the forward as a "hero", for his fantastic display.
Harvey Barnes
It is almost impossible for Howe not to select the winger after his recent display, with the 26-year-old star needing to make his first Premier League start since the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth back in February.
Barnes boasts an impressive record against Everton in England's top-flight, with the attacker scoring twice in his eight appearances, also providing one assist with the winger being on the winning side on two occasions.

All things considered, the wideman needs to start if Newcastle are to produce anything successful within the final third, with Barnes potentially being the key to a victory tonight.
He will be looking to add to his four goals in the league this campaign, with the attacker deserving of the opportunity to flourish for the Magpies once again after his heroics at the weekend.
If Tottenham Hotspur win at Fulham this evening, they will reclaim a place in the top four, albeit, should Aston Villa win at home to West Ham United a day later that fourth-placed grab will be fleeting for Ange Postecoglou's side.
But such frivolities do not matter at this stage, not even with next week commencing the final ten-match stretch of Spurs' campaign.
Ange Postecoglou.
What matters is that Tottenham are firing into form ahead of the business end, rekindling the fluency and fire that was at the club's core of the impressive early-season efforts.
Tottenham also have a game in hand on Villa, who they defeated 4-0 last weekend, and while James Maddison, Brennan Johnson and captain Heung-min Son enjoyed the standout showings, Timo Werner's goalscoring cameo calls for his return to the starting line-up.
Timo Werner's Spurs career so far
Werner moved to Tottenham on loan from RB Leipzig in January, with a £15m buy option inserted in the deal, and he has impressed so far, scoring two goals and supplying two assists from seven Premier League matches, starting five of those.
Lightning-quick and an adept dribbler, the 28-year-old has opened up a new dimension to Postecoglou's attack and has left Tottenham with options despite the recent knee injury suffered by Richarlison, with Son slotting in at centre-forward.
Benched last time out, Werner entered the fray late on and fired a satisfying late strike to make it goals in consecutive matches.
Given that Son will be starring up top at Craven Cottage on Saturday, it might be worth recalling Werner to the starting line-up on the left flank.
That would mean that the mercurial Johnson would need to move, and while Dejan Kulusevski occupies the right side of the Spurs attack, Postecoglou might be inclined to boldly ditch the Sweden international and flank his team with fleet-footed dynamism.
Why Dejan Kulusevski could be dropped
Kulusevski is one of the most underrated attacking midfielders in English football and is so important for Tottenham, with Sky Sports' Jamie Weir among those to gush over his qualities.
The reporter said: "Dejan Kulusevski really is a special special player. Works so hard, covers every blade of grass. Hell of an engine on him, and just so much heart."
Dejan Kulusevski celebrates for Tottenham.
This season in the Premier League, the 23-year-old has posted six goals and three assists from 24 starts, completing 82% of his passes and averaging 2.1 key passes, 1.8 tackles, 4.0 ball recoveries and 1.6 dribbles per game, as per Sofascore, only benched once all term.
So why would it be worth benching him against Fulham? Well, Kulusevski endured an ineffectual opening at Villa Park one week ago, with football.london's Alasdair Gold heralding his second-half display after a 'poor' start, ultimately handing him an 8/10 score.
Werner must start on the left, allowing Johnson to feature from the right and continue his prolific run of form, with the shifting of the system not a bad move to keep things fresh either.

Kulusevski did win just three of his 11 contested duels against Aston Villa, and while he is unquestionably a talented player, Johnson has been in sublime form of late and the Welshman can't really do much more to warrant a start.
Spurs' 'engine' could also be welcomed after the break if need be, with his skills certainly fit to supercharge his team if an extra hand is needed in the latter phase of the fixture.
Cutting arrested a middle-order slide to take his team home comfortably
The Report by Tristan Lavalette09-Jan-2020Ben Cutting and Jimmy Peirson calmly steered Brisbane Heat past a gallant Hobart Hurricanes in a low-scoring contest at the Gabba.Chasing just 127, the Heat were cruising at 1 for 52 before losing four quick wickets triggered by inspired bowling from Hurricanes quick Scott Boland.Cutting and Pierson, however, came to the rescue in a match-winning 60-run partnership, as the Heat won in the penultimate over. A disciplined Heat attack had earlier shackled the D’Arcy Short-less Hurricanes lineup that struggled after winning the toss.Matthew Wade played a lone hand in his return to the BBL with a fluent half-century but lacked support. The in-form Heat (4-3) have won three in a row, including twice over the Hurricanes (3-4) in the past week.Hurricanes crumble around WadeThere were question marks over whether Hurricanes’ top-order could function without BBL dynamo Short, who was a late call-up for Australia’s ODI tour of India. The pain of losing their talisman was at least alleviated by the return of Matthew Wade from Test duty, but the Hurricanes’ batting fell apart.They suffered an early blow when opener Caleb Jewell fell in just the second over to Matt Renshaw, whose part-time spin has proved surprisingly effective this season.The Heat took advantage of a rattled Hurricanes top-order with George Bailey trapped lbw by a relentlessly accurate Zahir Khan. It was the first time the veteran endured a golden duck in his 72-game BBL career, as the Hurricanes botched the Powerplay and things turned worse when out of form David Miller chopped on to Ben Laughlin.Wade had no trouble adjusting formats as he sweetly timed the ball to make a mockery of his teammates’ struggles. Captain Ben McDermott surprisingly came out at No.6 but the horror show continued when he was run out after Wade bewilderingly ran for a kamikaze single, leaving the Hurricanes in ruins at 5 for 59 near the midpoint.Wade falls in confusing fashionWith Zahir bowled out, Mitchell Swepson continued to strangle the Hurricanes with probing googlies but Wade finally found a willing ally in Tom Rogers, whose primary aim was to rotate the strike.Wade reached fifty in the 14th over when he clubbed Swepson for six and then smashed another boundary to signal his intent. The left-hander then fell in confusing fashion when he skied to long-on where Renshaw took the catch inside the rope, tossed it up as he stepped out of bounds and knocked it mid-air to Tom Banton inside the boundary.Third umpire Simon Lightbody initially gave it not out on the broadcast before reversing his decision, which was correct under Law 19.5.2. Previously, before the rule change, Wade would have been awarded a six because Renshaw tapped it over the boundary without stepping back in.Wade’s dismissal triggered a swift Hurricanes demise highlighted by Laughlin dismissing Clive Rose with a superb return catch to cap off an almost flawless display from the Heat.Heat wobble after Boland’s strikesAll eyes were on Banton, who was fresh off the second fastest ever BBL half-century during his 19-ball 56 against the Sydney Thunder. Banton, instead, maturely shelved the big shots and smartly worked the ball around in a sedate opening stand. He made his move in the fifth over by whacking Qais Ahmad for a straight six only to hole out on the next delivery much to the chagrin of the Heat faithful.Max Bryant took over the pyrotechnics but was shaken after being hit in the helmet by a short delivery from Boland, before falling next over to a brilliant outfield catch from Clive Rose, who narrowly avoided a collision with Jewell.Boland then turned the match in the ninth over when he claimed a loose Renshaw and Joe Burns, who was playing his first BBL match of the season, in quick succession to leave the Heat stuttering at 4 for 63 after nine overs.Ben Cutting goes big•Getty Images
Cutting powers Heat to victoryThe Heat’s slide continued in the 11th over when skipper Chris Lynn was run out in a horrible mix up with Peirson, as the Hurricanes suddenly held the edge. The pressure was on Peirson and Cutting, the Heat’s last two main hopes, and the pair were intent to stop the bleeding.They batted watchfully until Cutting changed the momentum with consecutive sixes off Rogers in the 16th over. He was well supported by Peirson, who made amends for his part in Lynn’s wicket, and Cutting had a reprieve when he was dropped by Miller in the 18th over with the Heat still needing 11 runs.Cutting made him pay and sealed the deal shortly after in style with a six.
Manchester United are in the market for deals this window and have now been told how much they will need to pay in order to acquire a key target, according to a report.
Who are Man United's transfer targets?
Despite the excitement surrounding the arrival of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and company at Old Trafford, there is a yearning among supporters for new players to be announced at Manchester United to help combat their mixed fortunes in the Premier League.
Erik ten Hag will be eager to ensure capable reinforcements pitch up in the North West and a striking addition is reportedly on his transfer wishlist. Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has revealed that the Red Devils have held tentative conversations regarding Bayern Munich's Eric Choupo-Moting, Stuttgart forward Serhou Guirassy and Borussia Dortmund attacker Donyell Malen.

Romano told the outlet: "To be honest, Manchester United never had the concrete negotiation with RB Leipzig. United had a discussion with Timo Werner's agent just to understand the conditions of the deal. How was the situation around Timo Werner for the January window, but Manchester United.
"United never decided to proceed for the proper negotiation for the transfer of Timo Werner. So they had the same kind of discussion for example with the agents of Choupo-Moting, with the agents of Donyell Malen, with the agents of Serhou Guirassy. All players that could be available on the January transfer market with different conditions."
Queens Park goalkeeper Callan McKenna is believed to be in advanced talks over a move to Old Trafford; nevertheless, he is likely to be one for the future and will take a few years to develop into a senior player. Now, fresh reports suggest that United have been told the price tag of a key target who they have already seen their advances rejected for this month.
Manchester United bid for Morten Hjulmand
According to The Sun, Manchester United offered Facundo Pellistri in exchange for Sporting CP midfielder Morten Hjulmand; however, their bid has been knocked back by the Portuguese giants, who have since laid down the law regarding the Denmark international.

Ruben Amorim's men would require the Red Devils to trigger the 24-year-old's release clause before sanctioning a deal, which is believed to sit at the £69 million mark. United have scouted him in both domestic and European action this term; meanwhile, Christian Eriksen is close friends with the Kastrup-born man and acts as his mentor on international duty.
Morten Hjulmand in action.
Hjulmand, who has been praised for his tenacious qualities by Italian journalists, had made 23 appearances in all competitions this campaign, registering one goal and two assists (Hjulmand statistics – Transfermarkt).
The Red Devils have managed to unearth starlet Kobbie Mainoo as a first-team regular and slotting Hjulmand in beside him and Bruno Fernandes could provide Ten Hag with a nicely balanced engine room for years to come.

Some reports have even suggested that further punishments could come Everton's way due to their financial breaches, and another deduction would surely be too much to come back from in the relegation battle.
There has also been the ongoing issue surrounding the takeover of the Blues, with 777 Partners still not getting a deal over the line to replace Farhad Moshiri as owner, so it's fair to say that Goodison Park is a tense place to be at the moment.
Worrying new Everton update
According to a new update from Football Insider's O'Rourke, Everton may not be successful in appealing their points deduction, with a decision expected very soon.

"Everton are not likely to receive good news when the results of their appeal against the 10-point deduction for Financial Fair Play breaches is announced, sources have told Football Insider.
"The verdict is set to be announced in the middle of February. That means news on Everton’s potential fate for the 2023-24 campaign may be just days away."
This is another blow in what feels like a constant stream of negative updates this season, although it may not come as a huge surprise that an appeal is unlikely to be successful.
It is a hugely frustrating situation for Dyche and his players, whose performances this season don't warrant being in the relegation zone at all, with a mid-table spot coming their way currently without the 10-point penalty. It can't be easy to remain focused on on-pitch matters, but Everton have to do all they can to get themselves away from danger, preserving their Premier League status for another year.
The idea of dropping into the Championship doesn't bear thinking about, considering the impact it could have on the potential takeover and their finances in general, while the move to Bramley-Moore Dock next year needs to happen with the Blues playing in the top flight, not the second tier.

The hope is that the appeal does end up being successful, but the manner of this season suggests that good news won't come Everton's way, making for what could be a stressful next few months in the league, with big matches arriving every week.
