Rangers eye goalkeeper replacement
Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has opened talks with St Mirren over the signing of Vaclav Hladky.

The Gers are looking at four potential goalkeeper signings, with negotiations already started for the 29-year-old.

Gerrard wants to move quickly in January, with goalkeeper Wes Foderingham edging closer to leaving Ibrox.

Portugal moved a step closer to Euro 2020 qualification thanks to yet another Cristiano Ronaldo masterclass.


The Juventus forward brushed aside a bad week at his club to bag a hat-trick on Thursday night as his side eased past Lithuania by six goals to nil.

The victory saw Ronaldo break yet another record, with his status as one of the greatest players of all time long since cemented.

We’ve taken a look at eight ridiculous stats to come out after his latest bout of goalscoring genius.

– Following his three-goal haul against Lithuania, Ronaldo is now the top scorer in European Championship qualifiers with 30 goals in 34 appearances.

– Ronaldo has now scored 55 hat-tricks for club and country throughout his career.

– He has now scored a hat-trick in 12 different countries: Lithuania, Portugal, Italy, Russia, Spain, Japan, Armenia, Sweden, Turkey, Northern Ireland, Netherlands and England.


– Ronaldo has now scored 98 goals in 163 caps for Portugal.

– Those 98 goals have come against 40 different countries.

– Now on 98 strikes from 163 caps, the 34-year-old still has a great shot as surpassing Ali Daei's record 109 international goals in 149 caps for Iran.

– Ronaldo has now scored a total of 705 goals for club and country throughout his career while also registering 214 assists.

– If a player was to score 40 goals for the next 15 seasons, they would still be 105 goals short of Ronaldo’s record.

The Federal Government on Wednesday replied the Senate on the contentious Hate Speech Bill saying the existing Cybercrime Act (2015) is enough to handle the purveyors of hate speech on social media.

The Hate Speech bill, sponsored by Senator Sabi Abdullahi, prescribes death by hanging for violators, resulting in calls for it to be jettisoned by the lawmakers as it hamper free speech.

The proposed legislation passed first reading in the upper legislative chamber after Nelson Ayewoh, clerk of the senate, read the title of the bill on Tuesday.

Abdullahi first sponsored the hate speech bill in the eighth assembly, but the bill did not make it through to third reading.

The reintroduction of the bill entitled, ‘National Commission for the Prohibition of Hate Speeches Bill 2019’ is coming a week after the senate introduced a bill to regulate social media.

Responding to a question directed at the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, at the end of Federal Executive Council (FEC), presides over by Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, Minister of State for Transportation, Gbemisola Saraki, said Nigerians were jumping the gun by drawing conclusions of the Hate Speech Bill yet to become an Act.

Saraki said: “It’s a bill, it’s not yet law. So the sponsor of the bill might have put the death penalty there. I think we are jumping the gun a bit, he is proposing the bill is not yet an act.

“Be that as it may, I think the Cybercrime Act is a law already in Nigeria; the Cybercrime Act that has the hate speech aspect in it.

“I am not privileged to know the sponsor of the particular bill that you mentioned but there is a law, I stand to be corrected I think it was passed 2014/2015.

“I am not particularly sure but there is a law that takes care of (hate speech) because cybercrime is now a major issue and as your know internationally, the world over everybody is concerned about it being the new frontier to fight crime. So, hate speech is within that cybercrime aspect.”

Ghanaian actor Mr. Van has disclosed that he has slept with six actresses in the movie industry because he hardly says no to ladies.

Talking about how many women he has slept with in the industry with Zion Felix on the ‘Uncut’ show, he said two of the ladies pushed themselves on him and the others just happened.

‘I have slept with six actresses in the industry. Sorry to say but two forced themselves on me and the others I slept with them’ he said.

When asked whether Xandy Kamel was part of the actresses he slept with he said;

‘Xandy is my serious girlfriend but she says I don’t have money so she broke my heart. But for now she can do whatever she wants the moment I get money I will go for her.’

He added that he’s also the type who is always eager to help women.
