The National15-05-2025

The 21-year-old made the rather unorthodox switch to the Swedish club in March, departing RSC Anderlecht in Belgium.
Ure spent over a decade with Rangers. He played three times for the senior side, his only goal coming in a 3-1 League Cup victory over Queen of the South.

He has impressed in his brief stint at Sirius so far, contributing to five goals in his nine appearances.
Ure finished clinically into the bottom-left corner to draw his side level away at Hammarby last night in a match they eventually lost by three goals to two.

The striker departed Rangers for Anderlecht on a free transfer in 2023 before his switch to Sweden.
Elsewhere, Davide Ancelotti is reportedly set to join his father Carlo with the Brazilian national team.
The 35-year-old has been widely linked to the permanent Rangers job over the past few days.
Davide will join his old man in South America for World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay in June, claims The Athletic.
It remains to be seen whether Ancelotti Jr will remain as part of the setup after those games, however, as he has 'interest from a number of clubs'.

The Rangers transfers Russell Martin needs revealed as AEK set Dessers deadline and Shankland a no-brainer

It's all systems go at the Light Blues as pre-season returns and all eyes turn to the crucial Champions League qualifiers It's all systems go at Rangers with Russell Martin really getting into his new role at Ibrox. And he's had to, with his players returning for pre-season today. However, the one thing that may disappoint fans at this stage is the lack of new faces making their way through the Auchenhowie gates. Lyall Cameron - who will miss the start of the training under the news boss through injury - is the only new arrival so far after a pre-contract from Dundee that was already sorted before the new coaching staff and 49ers Enterprises completed their takeover. with Dor Turgeman is another tipped for a striker role. Speaking of attackers and one man who could be off is Cyriel Dessers. AEK Athens have made him a No1 priority signing and as they get set to head to their own pre-season camp they want the striker onboard. The Scottish Sun report the Greek giants are pushing hard to tie up a move in the next 48 hours. Record Sport exclusively revealed that star man Nico Raskin is wanted down south by Wolves and after confirming earlier this summer the exits of Leon Balogun, Tom Lawrence and Ianis Hagi - the more that head out the way, means more on top of what is already required to come in the door. Our man Keith Jackson reckons Rangers need at least SIX bodies on top of Aarons - and that is before factoring in if any clubs firm up interest in Raskin or colleague Mohamed Diomande which would mean a midfield rebuild. Speaking in our Monday Jury, he stated: "Max Aarons is a decent start but Martin needs so much more than just a right back. "Two central defenders will be needed as well as a left back, a couple of wingers and at least one striker. "If Nico Raskin and/or Mohamed Diomande move on this summer then he'll need to rebuild his midfield too." An ally of new boss Martin has also expressed his surprise that Rangers have not made a move for a certain striker. The player in question of course is Lawrence Shankland, who is out of contract at Hearts. They are desperate to keep him as he weighs up his next move and his former boss and Rangers hitman Steven Naismith reckons he would be a 'safe bet' and would pretty much guarantee 15-20 goals. He said: 'In one respect, I'm surprised Rangers haven't gone for him. Because I think Shanks is as safe a bet as you're going to get when it comes to scoring goals in Scotland. 'What goes against him is probably his mobility. But for me, he's a really intelligent player now. He's a link between midfield and attack, as well as a goal scorer. 'It would be a free transfer but it's still expensive for Rangers to sign players who are scoring 30 goals a season. ‌ 'I'm sure Shanks will have some offers because for two seasons he's been unbelievable. 'Could he play in Russell's team? I think he could. From the moment I played with Shanks in Scotland to when I was coaching him, it was always about his intelligence. 'Where he picks positions up, he's got a real finesse about his touch. Then he's got that calmness in the final third that makes him different. 'I definitely think he could fit in. He fits a lot of the criteria for Rangers. 'Getting goal scorers who can near enough guarantee you 15-20 goals a season are hard to come by. And at the Old Firm they're very good to have around."

Paul Pogba 'agrees next move' as ex-Man Utd star posts cryptic four-word message

Paul Pogba was free to return to football in March after serving an 18-month drugs ban and the former Manchester United star has now reportedly agreed to join Monaco Paul Pogba looks set to return to football after reportedly agreeing a two-year deal with Monaco. The former Manchester United star has not played for almost two years, having been sidelined after testing positive for the banned substance DHEA. Pogba was initially handed a four-year ban, but that was ultimately reduced to 18 months after he won an appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. He became a free agent back in November after his contract with Juventus was terminated early. ‌ Pogba was free to play again in March, but has yet to sign for a club despite being linked with a number of sides in France, Saudi Arabia and the US. According to a new report from French outlet Le Parisien, Pogba is close to signing with Monaco. ‌ The report states that the 32-year-old agreed a two-year deal with Monaco on Sunday, having made 'significant financial sacrifices'. It is claimed that Monaco did make an approach for Pogba during the January transfer window, but a deal was considered 'too expensive' at the time. And Pogba has hinted that his return is imminent, posting images of himself training on social media with the caption: "I think it's time." Pogba has previously admitted he thought his career was over when he was banned, but he now hopes to get back to his best and win back his place in the France squad ahead of the 2026 World Cup. "Yeah, I had many thoughts in my head, I had so many thoughts to even stop playing," he said in an interview with ESPN last year. "I'm like: 'What am I going to do?' If it's four years, you start making the maths in your head. "Four years not playing, training — which club is going to want me? Would I be fit and stuff like that, you make a lot of pictures in your head. But on the other side, I had faith obviously, and I was positive. "I knew I didn't do anything wrong on purpose, so then thankfully that happened and they reduce it. It's so good to have somebody that is your manager [France boss Didier Deschamps] and you can have a good relationship also outside football. ‌ "And this is really rare and that's why I'm very grateful and appreciate the relation that I have with him. We need to respect these players [in the France team], also that they're here and you have to respect that. "And the way I respect that is, for me, training hard to deserve my place because they deserve to be in the position and to play for the national team. "And there is good players in this position also. It's always good to hear good positive things, 'We want you' and stuff like that. But you have to respect they're doing well."
