I think The Reds need to purchase at least one new forward before next season kicks-off. They clearly have three great forwards in Mo Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane. They also have a […]

We now know Scotland’s squad for this summers’ Euros. I’m pretty excited by the inclusions of youngsters Billy Gilmour, David Turnbull and Nathan Patterson.
