Monday Jury

Who will be next to leave Rangers? 6 candidates Michael Beale could sacrifice named on the Monday Jury

Should Rangers fans expect some high profile departures after making 6 signings?


David McCarthy: More than likely. I reckon if he gets acceptable bids for Ianis Hagi, Glen Kamara and Ben Davies, they'll be off. And if Borna Barisic doesn't extend his deal, they could take cash for him as well.

Fraser Wilson: Glen Kamara is the obvious one given the heights the midfielder reached under Steven Gerrard a couple of seasons ago. His time seems to be up. Antonio Colak would be a big loss. The striker guarantees goals but seems out of favour under Beale.

Andy Newport: He certainly needs to clear some more of the deadwood out but having already waved goodbye to the likes of Ryan Kent, Alfredo Morelos and Allan McGregor I don't think Beale will be keen to lose any more big names. Glen Kamara and Scott Wright look the most likely to be leaving.

Michael Gannon: Beale will need to shift out some of the deadwood and it would be handy to make some dosh from a few fringe men as well. The agents of Glen Kamara, Antonio Colak, Scott Wright will be on the job and it might be time to cash in on Borna Barisic if a new contract isn’t signed.

Are Celtic fans right to get a little twitchy at the lack of big name arrivals so far this summer?


David: Ange Postecoglou's departure was always going to slow down the process but I don't see any need to panic. Celtic will bring in good players and keeping their best player, Kyogo, in the building is a brilliant piece of business.

Fraser: Not really. There’s plenty of time yet and I would expect Brendan Rodgers to land at least one big signing especially off the back of the Jota fee. Celtic are in good shape and getting key men like Kyogo signed on new deals was a smart move.

Andy: Bringing in a new boss was always going to cause a bit of disruption to their recruitment work but Brendan Rodgers has inherited a Treble-winning squad and has time on his hands with millions to spend. Once he works out what's needed, he'll make his move.

Michael: There’s no need to stress. Celtic will be in the market for players who are being chased by other sides. These guys don’t jump in July. They will need to be patient.

Andy Murray leaves the court after losing the game to Stefanos Tsitsipas (AP)

Should Andy Murray call it a day after his Wimbledon exit?

David: Absolutely not. He took the fifth best player in the world to five sets and lost his serve once in four and a half hours to him. If that doesn't prove he can still battle with the best, what does?

Fraser: He should give it until next year and see how his body is coping. Murray showed us all again against Tsitsipas that he can still match the best and produce box office drama. If he feels he can still do it next year then he should certainly carry on.

Andy: No, and why should he? Anyone who has watched his documentary will have seen the endless hours of gruelling work he's put into getting his body right. Andy moved across the court as well as he has for years at SW19 last week and if he feels able to carry on then he's earned the right to.

Michael: Murray’s status as Scotland’s greatest sportsman is secure. Stick the feet up Andy and enjoy being a dad.

There are some big names in action at the Scottish Open but who should we be keeping an eye on?

David: Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth are absolute box office. Scottie Scheffler is the World No 1. Rickie Fowler back in the winners' enclosure and our own Bob MacIntyre. It's going to be brilliant.

Fraser: What a field! Defending champ Xander Schauffele, Jon Rahm and Scottie Scheffler will draw the crowds and no doubt lead the scoreboard but if Rory McIlroy can take inspiration from his last Major win at Hoylake – where he warmed up with his best ever finish at the Scottish Open – then he might just be in with a shout.

Andy: World No.1 Scottie Scheffler has been struggling with his putter this year but that's not stopped him recording six straight top-five finishes - including last month's US Open in LA. If the Texan can get it going on the greens in North Berwick he'll be hard to catch.

Michael: There are plenty of star turns such as Rory, Scheffler and Justin Thomas. But fans should flock to watch Jordan Spieth, as there’s never a dull moment with this lad.
