Wilfried Nancy Must Axe Kasper Schmeichel to Save Celtic Job After Rangers Stinker
Wilfried Nancy must get ruthless with his Celtic squad if he’s to stand any chance of keeping his job in the long run. The Bhoys fell to a 3-1 defeat against Rangers in the Scottish Premiership at Parkhead on Saturday lunchtime in a result that has seen Danny Rohl’s side go level on points with their Old Firm rivals.
For Nancy, it is now six defeats in eight games as Celtic boss and that has led to suggestions that he could be on the verge of the sack, despite only being appointed less than two months ago.
Wilfried Nancy Must Axe Kasper Schmeichel
While Nancy and the Celtic board will receive pelters as a result of the Old Firm defeat, another person who deserves criticism is Kasper Schmeichel.
The Danish goalkeeper was between the stick for the clash with Rangers and conceded three in another poor performance. Schmeichel should have done better with all three Rangers goals and after making just one save and preventing -1.34 goals, as per FotMob, it was expected that criticism would come his way.

Taking to X, Tam McManus made his feelings clear, saying:
“Yet another abysmal 2nd half performance from Celtic which will be the final nail in the coffin for Nancy. Every manager has adjusted at half-time v Celtic/Nancy and went on to win the game. Schmeichel been awful. Any shot on target a goal, whereas Butland been superb at the other end.”

Wilfried Nancy has a number of issues to fix in his Celtic team if he’s start turning some dominant displays into results, but a new goalkeeper has to be top of his shopping list.
Handed a 2/10 rating against Rangers, Schmeichel has looked like a shell of his former self so far this season and is doing very little to justify his spot between the sticks.
Celtic need a goalkeeper who can fit into Nancy’s possession-based style of play, but also someone who can pull off big saves in big moments – something that the ex-Leicester goalkeeper simply hasn’t done so far.
At 39 years of age, the Bhoys need to look to the future and find someone who can wear the jersey for many years to come. Schmeichel has had a wonderful career, but more recently he’s been more of a hindrance than a help and that is hugely concerning for Nancy and Celtic.

Liverpool Eyeing Real Madrid’s Eduardo Camavinga Amid Mourinho Exit Plans
Liverpool are showing an interest in signing a Real Madrid star who Jose Mourinho is willing to offload this summer.
The Reds have confirmed just one new addition in the summer transfer window so far, bringing in Victor Munoz to improve their winger options.
Liverpool will likely be in the market for further additions, considering they only just scraped Champions League football last season.
The board will have to back new manager Andoni Iraola if they want him to be able to fully implement his style of play next campaign.
The Merseyside club have been linked to a host of new additions this summer, but it’s unclear what their priority position to strengthen is going to be.
Liverpool are likely to sign another winger with Mohamed Salah departing, but they could also need reinforcements in other areas.
Liverpool eyeing Real Madrid star
According to a report from Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, Liverpool are one of the sides showing an interest in signing Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga in the summer transfer window.
The report claims that Mourinho is willing to sanction a departure for the French international as he is not a key part of their plans.
As it stands, Camavinga is uninterested in leaving Real Madrid this summer, but it’ll be interesting to see if that changes if he’s limited to a bench role with the Spanish giants.
Camavinga, who has been described as one of the best in the world, is too good to be sitting on the bench, even if it is for a club the size of Real Madrid.

Camavinga walks into Liverpool’s midfield
There is no doubt that if Liverpool can secure the signature of Camavinga in the summer transfer window, he would walk into their midfield.
The French midfielder is one of the best in the world, and after some of the displays by Liverpool’s current midfielders last season, he will undoubtedly become a guaranteed starter.
Convincing Camavinga to leave Real Madrid seems to be the biggest issue, as the La Liga club are willing to offload him.
The Reds will be able to offer Champions League football to Camavinga, but we are yet to see whether Iraola can get a tune out of this Liverpool squad.

Man Utd Eye PSG Winger Ibrahim Mbaye in Summer Transfer
Although the major focus for Manchester United in the summer transfer window is to bring in midfield reinforcements, they could look to strengthen in other areas of the pitch.
The Red Devils are yet to complete any new additions since the market opened, despite pushing to sign several different midfielders.
If United want to give a good account of themselves in the Champions League next season, as well as cope with pushing in the Premier League, there is no doubt they need reinforcements all over the pitch.
Although it was a phenomenal achievement for my character to guide United into the Champions League places last season, they didn’t have the distraction of European football like other clubs.
That’s all going to change this campaign, meaning they’ll need a deeper squad to deal with the schedule.
Man Utd preparing offer for winger
According to reports, Manchester United are exploring a move to sign Paris Saint-Germain winger Ibrahim Mbaye in the summer transfer window.
The report claims that United are preparing a bid to sign the Senegalese international, while PSG are hoping to receive around £30 million.
United face competition for his signature as clubs look to take advantage of his lack of regular starts at PSG.
Mbaye, described as ‘one of the best young players in the world’, has struggled to cement himself as a guarantee in Luis Enrique’s side, which is no surprise given the amount of talent they have in their squad.
Mbaye’s representatives are looking to convince him to remain in Paris, but there’s a strong chance he ends up in the Premier League.

Mbaye could be ideal winger signing
United currently have plenty of options on the wings, including Bryan Mbuemo, Matheus Cunha and Amad Diallo.
Despite that, all three have been deployed in various different positions during their time at United. It’s certainly not set in stone that Mbaye wouldn’t break into the starting eleven.
The young winger has plenty of potential and perhaps a higher ceiling than the aforementioned United trio.
Mbaye is also capable of making an immediate impact at senior level, as we’ve seen during his time at PSG and Senegal.
If United could secure his signature this summer, it would be a smart signing for the future and the present.

Arsenal Star Saliba Targeted by UCL Giants: £128m Price Tag Set
After a strong 2025/2026 season, some of Arsenal’s key stars are attracting interest from some of the biggest clubs around the world.
Attracting players away from the Gunners is never going to be easy, however, as there’s no doubt Arsenal are one of the best clubs to play for in the world at the moment.
The north London club came close to lifting the Champions League trophy, while also, of course, winning the Premier League last season.
Arsenal will likely want to bring in reinforcements over the coming weeks and months, so as a result, players will have to leave the club.
Leandro Trossard appears to be one player who is being sacrificed, with a deal agreed for him to join Turkish side Besiktas.
Three clubs eyeing Arsenal man
According to a report from Caught Offside, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, and Barcelona are all showing an interest in signing Arsenal star William Saliba in the summer transfer window.
The Gunners would only be willing to consider entering talks for the French international if an offer arrives at the table in the region of £128m.
In a roundabout way, Arsenal are telling the interested parties that he’s not for sale, as it’s hard to imagine a club being willing to pay that much for Saliba.
Although the French defender is undoubtedly one of the best in the world in his position, it’s a lot of money for a club to pay for a centre-back.

Arsenal shouldn’t sell Saliba at any price
Although £128m is almost telling clubs that Saliba isn’t for sale, Arsenal shouldn’t be considering offloading him for any price in the summer transfer window.
The ‘world-class‘ defender has been imperative to Arsenal’s success over the last few years, so it makes little sense to offload him this summer.
Arsenal would struggle to replace Saliba with a defender capable of replicating what he’s produced for the Gunners, even with a £128m budget.
Mikel Arteta’s side need to be doing everything they can to keep Saliba at the Emirates Stadium, and hopefully for their sake, he isn’t tempted by a move to PSG, Barcelona, or Real Madrid.
