Rangers are under new ownership after an American consortium, including 49ers Enterprises, completed a deal to buy 51% of the club late on Thursday night. Andrew Cavenagh becomes the new chairman at Ibrox, with Paraag Marathe, the president of 49ers Enterprises and chairman of Leeds, the vice-chairman. The Scottish Football Association has approved the takeover, with the club keen to stress they are not part of a multi-club model.

Aberdeen end 35-year wait for Scottish Cup glory with shootout win over Celtic

1 week ago | theguardian.com | Ewan Murray

History repeated itself in such wonderful fashion for Aberdeen. In 1990, they took delivery of the Scottish Cup after a penalty shoot out victory over Celtic. Thirty five years on, in defying all odds, Aberdeen did it again. Jimmy Thelin and his class of 2025 have written themselves into Pittodrie folklore. Celtic will have to make do with a domestic double, a scenario few thought probable before a ball was kicked here.
Scottish football must tackle minority of fans dragging game into gutter | Ewan Murray

There is periodic chatter over whether alcohol should be sold on concourses at Scottish football grounds. In public, clubs want to be seen to treat customers as adults. In private, they see the commercial benefit of flogging pints with pies. Punters noisily bemoan treatment as second-class citizens – you can have a beer while watching Scottish rugby – when in reality too many of them act in a manner befitting that status.
Scottie Scheffler plays down career grand slam talk after ‘sweet’ US PGA success

2 weeks ago | theguardian.com | Ewan Murray

Scottie Scheffler refused to identify the career grand slam as his next target after securing the US PGA Championship at Quail Hollow. The American’s five-shot win means he is halfway to a clean sweep of majors, with the US Open and Open Championship left. Rory McIlroy became just the sixth man to win the grand slam last month at Augusta National. Scheffler, though, is anxious to stay in the present. “I don’t focus on that kind of stuff,” Scheffler insisted on the making of history.
Scottie Scheffler runs away with US PGA title after challengers fade away

Just another Scottie Sunday. Major number three for Scottie Scheffler, the first outside Augusta National and the latest stride towards golfing immortality. A year on from being bundled into a police cell during his last attempt to lift the Wanamaker Trophy, Scheffler took no prisoners. Dancing to the jailhouse rock. Jon Rahm swung and missed at the new US PGA champion before capitulating under sheer frustration. Nobody else seriously featured.

Scottie Scheffler bursts clear of US PGA third-round field at Quail Hollow

Majors are often won as Saturday shadows lengthen. It feels as if we have again witnessed precisely that. Quail Hollow’s devilish last three holes, the Green Mile, can ruin tournament aspirations. Scottie Scheffler decided to play that stretch in two under par. The world No 1 had already produced an outrageous eagle at the 14th and birdied the next. Five holes, five under. Catch him if you can. Scheffler’s 65 and 11-under-par total means this US PGA Championship is suddenly his to lose.
Hatton faces fine for foul-mouthed tirade during US PGA second round

3 weeks ago | theguardian.com | Ewan Murray

Tyrrell Hatton’s love-hate relationship with his professional domain continues. The Englishman will inevitably be fined after a foul-mouthed tirade during his second round of the US PGA Championship was picked up on live television coverage. Hatton was within a shot of the lead when reaching the tee at the 18th, his 9th. Hatton’s drive found a water hazard. What happened next was rather typical for a player prone to tempestuous moments on golf courses.
