The Tarxien Rainbows Courier
Match29 Aug 2026
Nowhere to hide for Tarxien Rainbows
2‑5 against Hibernians, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Marko Musulin asks to leave Tarxien Rainbows
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Terms done: Miguel Spiteri is going
Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Pieta Hotspurs waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Tarxien Rainbows is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

18 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.
Player ratings31 Aug 2026
Anthony Lokosa has a hand in both — 7.90
One scored and one made, which is a different afternoon from scoring twice and an easier one to overlook. Marked 7.90, and involved in 2 of his side's goals.
Match29 Aug 2026
Nobody could stop scoring
7 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Tarxien Rainbows and Hibernians in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Pieta Hotspurs watching Kyle Gatt
The interest is real enough to have reached print. Tarxien Rainbows have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Naxxar Lions tell Tarxien Rainbows: Sekala Guehi is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.
