News about Brian Laudrup

Following an inquiry into a prank staged at the draw for the group stage earlier this month, security concerns ahead of next summer's Euros have been raised. England was given a relatively straightforward Group in the draw, which took place in Hamburg's historic Elbphilharmonie concert hall, and will meet Serbia, Slovenia, and Denmark next year. During the service, however, sex sounds could be heard over the sound system, with Brian Laudrup in particular avoiding a smirk as he continued to draw names from the pots.

After the group mistakenly wore a retro club kit during a show in Dallas last month, Korean pop sensation STAYC was welcomed to a tour Rangers' stadium. On the US leg of their World Tour, the six-piece girl group had attempted to win over the crowd. STAYC, meaning Stacey, wanted to wear the kit of the Texas Rangers, a local baseball team that was competing in Major League Baseball's World Series.

These Korean pop stars certainly earned top praise for their efforts to convince the locals of Texas that they should not be involved in this conflict. However, they ended up struggling to strike the right note due to an embarrassing gaffe.

However, the singers made a major faux pas when they turned up wearing retro Glasgow Rangers (bottom right) strips instead.

BRIAN LAUDRUP: Any boss has made it clear that they will never go back and raid their old team. Others prefer to keep it private and do it if they so desired. Time will tell which side of the fence Ange Postecoglou's falls on. However, I don't think the Australian is a sentimental type. He's a tenacious guy who makes major decisions for the benefit of his employers. And I wonder if this will bring him right back to Parkhead as he begins to rebuild Tottenham Hotspur into a genuine force in English football.

BRIAN LAUDRUP: I think now is a great time to work for Tottenham Hotspur. I do. Given the recent woes, a leader with a concrete strategy has a chance to go there, make an appearance, and be branded as a saviour. Will that be Ange Postecoglou? Time will tell. However, further information regarding Spurs' intentions will be eagerly awaited. Both directions of Glasgow are represented. A lot of Rangers supporters, as well as Michael Beale, would like to see Postecoglou move on from Celtic. If his superb performances in the Premiership were recognized by a club such as Spurs, it would certainly be a feather in Scotland's cap.

BRIAN LAUDRUP: Spain continues to reap the benefits of Barcelona's ability to produce outstanding young talents as a footballing nation. Pedri and Gavi, the first names that spring to mind for the majority of people, are obviously midfielders. Pedri is now injured, but Gavi was suspended early in Spain's victory over Norway on Saturday due to him not being at his best form. Good news for Scotland, right? Well, only to a point. As it happens, another Nou Camp proponent is on hand for Steve Clarke's side in the Euro 2024 qualifier in Hampden on Tuesday night, posing a major threat to his team's position.

BRIAN LAUDRUP: I had taken over Steven Gerrard 12 months ago but didn't have a lot of time to implement his plans on another manager's staff, I think he did a good job from the start. And as the previous season came to an end, we hoped that Van Bronckhorst's new campaign would really stamp his mark on it so we'd know what he wanted to do. I'd have loved to have him flourish in the field. To be honest, this season has only been about regression, and it has gone way too far. In that regard, the Rangers board has made the correct decision.

MARK WILSON: ten years ago this week, a Rangers team containing luminaries such as Emilson Cribari and Anestis Argyriou stormed Shielfield Park before being held to a 1-1 draw by Berwick Rangers in the old Third Division. The Journey, as it became known, was a lengthy and often painful process, but any discussion about the deciding end point is no longer relevant. The final action has been taken. Rangers have arrived. The restoration is complete. Following the success of season 2020-21 in the Premiership, a spot in the Champions League proper was the first thing to be ticked off. Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side took the pen and daubed ink with a flourish on a balmy night in Eindhoven. It was epic, historic stuff.
