Dunfermline chairman Ross McArthur has rubbished online rumours about match-fixing in the club’s 6-1 defeat to Rangers, which led to the Ibrox side winning the title in 2003.

The Pars chairman told the Daily Record that the club’s 2013 administration is being investigated by the SFA and that the probe has nothing to do with ‘spurious’ conspiracy claims made by a Celtic fansite.

Former Celtic defender Virgil Van Dijk has handed in a transfer request in a bid to move away from Southampton.

But the club are determined not to sell him, with the Express reporting that they are happy to let him sit in the stands all season if they have to.


The future of Philippe Coutinho dominates Wednesday morning’s transfer talk as the Liverpool playmaker continues to be linked with Barcelona.

The Mirror claims the LaLiga club want to wrap up a £100million move by the end of the week as they look to boost their squad following the departure of Neymar.

But the Daily Star writes that Liverpool are determined to keep the Brazil international and will reject any bid they receive.

Arsenal still face a fight to keep Alexis Sanchez, reports the Independent.

They claim the Chile forward is wanted by Paris St Germain, who are still looking to spend despite paying £200m for Neymar, while the player is said to prefer a move to Manchester City.

However, the Telegraph says PSG are not interested in Sanchez following the completion of the Neymar deal.
