From our football correspondent Crisis

Match9 Aug 2027

Rangers International are in among the leaders

Position 3 and 51 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Market9 Aug 2027

IFK Goteborg come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Rangers International did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Wale Musa Alli is carrying Rangers International

12 goals and a season average of 7.73. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Market9 Aug 2027

Daniel Monday has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Rangers International they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Match7 Aug 2027

Rangers International come up short against Kwara United

Kwara United left with the points after a 1-3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Market9 Aug 2027

Oluwaseun Oladimeji attracts admirers

Squad9 Aug 2027

The manager makes an example of Ikechukwu Mgbemena

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Daniel Itodo stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Daniel Itodo and Rangers International agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Costly mistake from Osagie Onisodumeya

An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Osagie Onisodumeya knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.

Squad2 Aug 2027

Chidiebere Nwobodo is carrying Rangers International

4 goals and a season average of 7.33. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Match31 Jul 2027

Rangers International and Kano Pillars take a point apiece

It finished 1-1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Market2 Aug 2027

Joshua Baba linked with a move away

The name of Joshua Baba keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Rangers International say nothing, which says plenty.

Market2 Aug 2027

Wale Akintola runs his contract down

1 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Rangers International money.
