A tough away day at Easter Road or time to work on the training ground at Auchenhowie? What would be better four days before a do-or-die Champions League playoff against PSV Eindhoven? It’s a choice Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s counterpart Ruud van Nistelrooy was given and he opted for time to work with his players rather than take on Volendam in the Eredivisie.
Ally McCoist has fired a stinging blast at the Scottish football authorities for failing to help Rangers after the Dutch FA came to PSV Eindhoven’s aid in the Eredivisie’s quest to see off the Ibrox side and reach the Champions League group stage.
The fact it's a Champions League playoff tie means there would have been huge interest in Rangers' clash with PSV Eindhoven anyway. But the strong connection between the Dutch and the Ibrox club has added a bit of an extra edge to the massive Euro showdown
Barca tell De Jong: Take it or leave Frenkie de Jong’s agents are in Barcelona ahead of a meeting with club officials to discuss the Dutch midfielder’s future at the Camp Nou. Spanish media outlet Sport reveal that Barca are going to inform the player’s representatives that he has two options: reduce his current salary or leave Barcelona for Chelsea. The club are “tired of waiting for De Jong to decide” so are handing him an ultimatum.
Chelsea are confident they have beaten Manchester United to Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong but they still need to persuade the Netherlands international to leave Spain, according to the Times.

Scott Calderwood reckons you could hardly get a cigarette paper between Rangers and PSV Eindhoven in terms of quality.
Confession time. I’ve got a soft spot for the Dutch. It was Dick Advocaat who gave me my big breakthrough as a first team player at Rangers alongside guys like Arthur Numan and Giovanni van Bronckhorst. A little later I’d be playing with the likes of Michael Mols, Ronald de Boer and Fernando Ricksen. And I always loved them because of their mentality.
