The sun dappled all day over Belfast, hints of summer blossom finally in the air. International friendlies to bookend a long season seldom stir – but Northern Ireland’s 1-0 win against Iceland can be clearly viewed as an important marker prior to the World Cup qualifiers in the autumn.

The Iceland national team crest of a giant, a dragon, a bull and an eagle, all introduced by the country’s governing body in 2020, could be described as emblematic of the echo and courage of livelier times. In footballing terms, the country’s heart soared with the odyssey that ended Roy Hodgson’s tenure as England boss with a famous victory in the Euro 2016 Round of 16 before going out to host nation France at the Quarter-Final stage.

There is a line in the superb 2004 film The Assassination of Richard Nixon which resonates with certainty. “The salesman who believes is the salesman who receives”. The main character, Sam Bicke, merely wants an opportunity, a slice of the American Dream. More than any other boss in Rangers’ history, Russell Martin must now absorb the same objective, as he masters the art of persuasion, under intense scrutiny, while making a grab for glory.

Finally, the end of a hectic 2024/25 season – and time for managers and players to take a breath. The triumphs, the gala nights, the frustrations and disappointments. In Celtic’s case, success tempered by an unforeseen flavour of failure. For Rangers, 2024/25 was a campaign to quickly forget, especially in light of the club’s new takeover by 49ers Enterprises. A US-style can-do attitude is about to shake Ibrox, a place awash with interesting times ahead.
