Rangers fans produced what some Twitter users called the "best limbs in football" as Joe Aribo's goal gave them the lead against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League final. Former Charlton Athletic man Aribo capitalised on a slip from Brazilian defender Tuta to send Rangers fans into dreamland midway through the second half. The 25-year-old latched onto a ball over the top that Tuta and Djibril Sow both failed to deal with before stroking a cool finish past Kevin Trapp into the bottom corner of the goal. As Aribo wheeled off in celebration, thousands of Rangers fans in the stands at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan lost their minds, cheering wildly and launching cups of beer high up into the air. Their incredible celebrations didn't go unnoticed by football fans on Twitter, plenty of whom praised them for their 'limbs.' One person wrote: "Rangers have the best limbs in football wowww." Someone else said: "Rangers winning in terms of limbs right now I must say that was … [Read more...] about Joe Aribo goal in Europa League final has Rangers fans producing ‘best limbs in football’

Andy van der Meyde has claimed that he knew Erik ten Hag was destined for big things when they met at FC Twente. When playing for the Eredivisie side in 1999, the former winger spent time with Manchester United ’s incoming manager. Van der Meyde - known affectionately as 'Shandy Andy' by Everton fans for his love of partying - was just 19 years old at the time and on loan from Dutch rivals Ajax. But he saw enough of the coach to know that he would soon be in the dugout of a top club. Indeed, although Fred Rutten was then Twente’s manager, Ten Hag was already showing his worth as a leader. Van der Meyde, 42, told SunSport: “Erik is from the east of Holland — very down-to-earth. He’s kind, straight, and honest — but he can also be aggressive. All he wants is to win while making the team better.

Former Manchester United star Andy Goram has opened up over his relationship - or lack of - with Roy Keane during his time at the club. Back in 2001, Sir Alex Ferguson was in a spot of bother with both of his goalkeepers injured. Fabien Barthez and Raimond van der Gouw were absent through injury and surgery respectively and the then-Red Devils coach was allowed to bring in an emergency back-up on loan. A deal was clinched for Goram to join from Motherwell in March until the end of the season worth £100,000. The keeper was 36 at the time and had an extensive history with Rangers - where he had played for most of the 90s.

However, not everyone was fond of the former Scotland international. After joining United on emergency loan, Goram was given a rough ride by … [Read more...] about Ex-Man Utd player and Roy Keane “never spoke” together in entire spell at the club
