9 d. ago Rangers contenders: Steven Gerrard, Sean Dyche and Derek McInnes in frame

Rangers are looking to replace Russell Martin after the former Southampton boss was sacked on Sunday night following the 1-1 draw with Falkirk.Here, the PA news agency looks at some of the contenders for the hot seat.Steven GerrardStill the darling of many Rangers fans for being last man to bring the William Hill Premiership title to Ibrox. The 45-year-old achieved hero status after he thwarted Celtic’s bid for a record 10-in-a-row in 2021.

Now our islands are at risk of being dragged into a manufactured conflict we are ill-equipped to endureFor decades, the Caribbean has been caught in the slipstream of other people’s wars – from cold war proxy battles to Washington’s “war on drugs” and “war on terror”. Our islands have too often been turned into the frontlines for policies scripted elsewhere but fought in our waters, our communities, and on the backs of our most vulnerable.The recent US naval strikes against alleged “drug boats” leaving Venezuela, and the decision of Trinidad and Tobago’s prime minister, Kamla Persad-Bissessar, to grant access to territorial waters without first consulting the Caribbean collective of developing countries, Caricom, risk dragging our islands into yet another manufactured storm.
