Rangers and Celtic both secured victories in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday, ensuring that the teams at the top of the table remain unchanged heading into the international break.
Under the leadership of boss Philippe Clement, Rangers achieved a 2-0 triumph over Livingston at the Tony Macaroni Arena, maintaining their dominant position. Meanwhile, Celtic defeated Aberdeen 6-0 at Parkhead shortly after, restoring their eight-point lead at the top of the league.
Highly-regarded former Leicester City youth player Johnly Yfeko has renewed his contract with Rangers for three years. The 20-year-old defender made his debut in a Viaplay Cup win over Greenock Morton in August, impressing previous boss Michael Beale during pre-season matches. Yfeko has been a consistent starter for the club’s B-team and is determined to follow in the footsteps of another ex-Leicester youth, Calvin Bassey.
Academy director Zeb Jacobs expressed his excitement about Yefko’s contract extension, praising the player’s development and recent experience with the first team. While there are challenges ahead, Jacobs emphasized Yefko’s potential for growth on and off the pitch.
Ryan Christie, a former Celtic player, has put an end to speculation about a possible return to Parkhead by signing a new contract with AFC Bournemouth. Reports had linked the Scotland international with a potential reunion with Brendan Rodgers in Glasgow, but he has opted to extend his contract with the Premier League club until 2027. Christie expressed his delight at the contract extension in a post on Instagram, signaling his commitment to the south coast club.
