The Ashes: Australia vs England, fifth Test: Updates and reaction from series finale at Sydney Cricket Ground

Rangers appoint Hearts boss McInnes

Rangers have appointed Derek McInnes as their new manager on a three-year deal.

McInnes, who spent five years at Ibrox as a player, joins from Hearts.

The 54-year-old guided the Jambos to second in the Scottish Premiership last season - his sole year in charge - and only missed out on the title after a late final-day defeat at champions Celtic.

McInnes replaces Danny Rohl, who joined RB Salzburg earlier on Wednesday.

Man City considering Tonali move - alongside Anderson pursuit

Manchester City are weighing up a move for Tottenham target Sandro Tonali as well as continuing their pursuit of Elliot Anderson.

Spurs want the Newcastle midfielder to be their marquee signing this summer, but they could face competition from City, who are working to rebuild their midfield for incoming boss Enzo Maresca after Pep Guardiola decided to step down.

Tonali, who has a contract until 2029, is expected to command a huge fee, with Newcastle unwilling to sell the Italy international.

City remain in talks with Nottingham Forest for Anderson for a transfer that is set to cost more than 100m.

Tonali has been a long-term target for City, but it was initially unclear if they would consider moving for him and Anderson in the same window.

However, Your Site News understands City are interested in the possibility of doing deals for both players, with Bernardo Silva leaving as a free agent to join Real Madrid.

Why Spurs want Tonali - and Newcastle do not want to let him go

Your Site News reporters Mark McAdam and Michael Bridge offer views from both camps as Tottenham want to sign Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali...

Stockport appoint new coaches

Stockport have made three additions to their coaching staff.

Jason Taylor, Matty Done and John Shannon have joined the club from Rochdale, where Jimmy McNulty worked last year before becoming County's new head coach.

Taylor, 39, played for the club between 2006 and 2009 and made over 100 appearances.

Ronan joins Aberdeen

Aberdeen have signed Connor Ronan from MLS side Colorado Rapids.

The midfielder has signed an initial two-year deal with the option of a further year.

Ronan, who is Aberdeens sixth signing of the summer, is a former Republic of Ireland U21 international, coming through the academy at Wolverhampton Wanderers, before spells across England, Slovakia and Switzerland for the likes of Portsmouth, Blackpool and Grasshopper Club Zurich. 

Who are Man Utd's top targets for left wing?

Mark McAdam gives us a rundown of potential Manchester United targets at left wing.

Van Bronckhorst returns to Feyenoord

Feyenoord have confirmed the return of Giovanni van Bronckhurst as head coach

The 51-year-old succeeds Robin van Persie who was sacked earlier this month.

It will be his first managerial role since he was sacked by Turkish side Besiktas in November 2024 and his last job since being sacked by Liverpool two weeks after Arne Slots departure.

The former Rangers manager came through Feyenoords youth ranks before playing for their first team between 1993 and 1998 and ending his career there from 2007 to 2010.

He then served as Feyenoord boss from 2015 to 2019.

Jones joins Sheff Utd coaching staff

Former Man Utd defender Phil Jones has joined Sheffield United's coaching staff.

The 34-year-old - who retired in 2023 - had been working at former club Blackburn as first team coach under Michael O'Neill.

"Phil (Jones) is a young coach who has played under some of the very best and is now forging his own pathway in coaching," Blades boss Chris Wilder told the club's official website.

"He's coming in tasked with helping throughout the team and he's already gained some great experience coaching in the academy at Manchester United and with the first team at Blackburn last season. He is highly thought of at both clubs."

Meanwhile assistant Alan Knill and first-team coach Guilherme Ramos have departed Bramall Lane. Micky Collins will replace Knill as Wilder's second in command.

Tottenham's Vuskovic dilemma after Van Hecke deal agreed

Tottenham have a dilemma on their hands with Luka Vuskovic after rejecting two offers from Brighton for the teenage centre-back.
