Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin admits it is a blow to lose "multi-functional" attacking midfielder Jamie McGrath for a lengthy spell. Republic of Ireland international McGrath, 28, who is out of contract in the summer, has had shoulder surgery and will be sidelined for "a number of months", say the club. McGrath has made 27 Dons appearances this season, scoring five goals.
Brendan Rodgers has asked Celtic fans for "time and patience" with striker Adam Idah as Kyogo Furuhashi closes on a move to Rennes. The Republic of Ireland forward has come under fire in recent weeks having not scored since November - a 14-game barren run - following his £9m summer move from Norwich. "I think with Adam, like it is with every other player, we have to offer them the time, the patience, the support," manager Rodgers said.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says he was "a lucky man" to work alongside Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca before their two sides meeting on Saturday. Maresca was manager of City's Elite Development Squad between 2020 and 2021 before returning as one of Guardiola's assistant managers between 2022 and 2023. Chelsea appointed Maresca at the start of the season, after he took Leicester to the Championship title in his first year in management, and the Blues lost 4-2 to City during pre-season and 2-0 on the opening day of the Premier League at Stamford Bridge.
