Frankfurt injury concerns

Eintracht Frankfurt will play a reserve side for their remaining Bundesliga matches as they prepare and protect players for the Europa League final with Rangers. Martin Hinteregger is already out of the final, while four more players – Djibril Sow, Rafael Santos Borre, Jens Petter Hauge and Jesper Lindstrom – all have doubts over them. Manager Oliver Glasner said: "We will look at them closely before the final. They won't be lying in their hammocks for ten days though. At this stage of the season, we won't take any chances. It's about creating a balance.” (Scottish Sun)

Goodwin's team selection

Aberdeen boss Jim Goodwin revealed the decision behind his starting XI for the draw with Hibs on Saturday. There was a start for Dante Polvara, while the likes of Christian Ramirez and Dylan McGeouch were left on the bench. Goodwin said: “I picked the starting XI who are all under contract for next season. Of the nine subs, six have already been told they’re not getting an offer or are surplus to requirements. With that there is always a bit of tension and frustration within the group. But I try to be honest with people and tell them how it is and try to give them time to get sorted.” (Daily Record)

Liverpool win race for Ramsay

Liverpool are reportedly set to win the race for Calvin Ramsay. The Aberdeen full-back has attracted interest from England and around Europe but the Anfield side could pay £4million to land the full-back this summer. Ramsay’s breakthrough campaign saw him win the SFWA Young Player of the Year award, while a January move from Bologna was rejected by the club. (Mail on Sunday)

McGhee wants Dundee future

Dundee boss Mark McGhee is keen to stay on despite the club on the brink of relegation. The Dens Park side are six points adrift of St Johnstone with two games to play. McGhee was brought in to replace James McPake but has not led the team to victory yet. He said: “I came here hoping to stay. I’ve no idea really. We’ve not discussed it. I’d like to stay but we’ll see.” (Various)

Jota deal still not done

Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has revealed a deal to secure Jota on a permanent deal from Benfica has yet to be finalised. Reports in Portugal suggested the Parkhead side had all but sorted a £6.3million transfer. Postecoglu said: “He understands. He’s humble enough to know that he’s got the talent but he had the talent last year - you need the platform. This football club has given him that. In terms of next year, with him and Cameron (Carter-Vickers) we’re in a similar boat. If everyone wants something to happen it’ll happen.” (Various)
