'Too honest' Cameron could have earned penalty, says Leven

Peter Leven believed there was scope for an injury-time Aberdeen penalty when Reo Hatate dived into a tackle on Lyall Cameron during Celtic's 2-1 win at Pittodrie.

Midfielder Cameron rode the challenge but overran the ball as the hosts' late pressure failed to yield an equaliser.

"The players need to be a bit more streetwise," said interim boss Leven.

"Lyall needs to ask the question later on when Hatate goes in.

"I think he was too honest in trying to stay on his feet. There could have been contact there."

Leven was also unconvinced Benjamin Nygren was onside for his winner during a lengthy VAR check that ruled Gavin Molloy's foot was playing the Swede on.

"It looks offside, but then again, why is there not two lines drawn?" he said.

"There was only one line drawn on our player. I thought there was always to be two lines drawn."

Jürgen Klinsmann hails Harry Kane as "fantastic" and "the best ambassador you could wish for"

With a remarkable 130 goals in 133 games in all competitions, Harry Kane has been a big hit at Bayern Munich since making the move to Germany from Tottenham for a reported €95 million fee in the summer of 2023.

German World Cup winner and former Bayern player and coach Jürgen Klinsmann has followed the 32-year-old England captain’s Bundesliga achievements with admiration and sees him as an ideal ambassador for the league.

“What Harry has done since joining Bayern Munich is simply incredible," Klinsmann told Bulinews.com and other selected media at a virtual roundtable on Wednesday.

“It’s unbelievable. He's not only a fantastic player on the pitch, with all the goals, assists and records, but also an ambassador of the game.”

Klinsmann believes Kane is respected and admired across Germany, and not just by his own club's supporters.

“People in Germany love him – and not just Bayern Munich fans. Everybody adores him for his qualities. He’s the best ambassador you could ask for, coming from England and playing in the Bundesliga," Klinsmann added, before making a World Cup prediction:

“I was asked today who I think will be the top goalscorer at the World Cup, and I said Harry right away.”

Having scored 30 goals in 24 Bundesliga matches so far in the 2025/26 season, Kane is chasing Robert Lewandowski’s record of 41 goals in a single Bundesliga campaign.

During the interview on Wednesday, Klinsmann expressed confidence in Kane’s chances of breaking the record.

However, the England captain now has one game less to add to his tally, as it was confirmed Thursday morning that he will miss Bayern Munich's Friday clash with Borussia Mönchengladbach due to a calf injury.

Athletics GM: We’re always open to Kyler Murray exploring a return to baseball

Kyler Murray was the ninth overall pick in the Major League Baseball draft in 2018, signed a contract with the Athletics that year, and planned to pursue a professional baseball career after one final season of college football. Then Murray won the Heisman Trophy in his final season, was the first overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft, and decided to pursue football instead.

Now Murray has been told the Cardinals plan to cut him, and the Athletics have let him know he'd be welcome to play baseball again.

"Kyler is an elite NFL quarterback and I’m sure there are plenty of opportunities for him to continue his football career,” Athletics General Manager David Forst told MLB.com. “That said, he and his baseball representatives know that we’re always open to him exploring a return to baseball with the A’s if that time ever comes.”

It's unlikely that Murray will change sports at age 28, but he's talented enough that if he wanted to do it, there's a real chance he could make the major leagues. And he's already got a team that would love to see him give it a try.

Italy Manager Has No Intentions Of Dropping Inter Milan & Italy Superstar Amid Boos From Serie A Fans

Italy manager Gennaro Gattuso reportedly has no intentions of omitting Inter Milan star Alessandro Bastoni from his squad later this month.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 26-year-old will feature for the Azzurri in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying playoffs.

Alessandro Bastoni has become one of the most unpopular figures in Serie A after his antics during last month’s Derby d’Italia against Juventus.

Indeed, in addition to faking a foul, which tricked Federico La Penna into sending off Pierre Kalulu, cameras caught the star defender celebrating the Frenchman’s expulsion.

Since then, fans across the country have booed Bastoni at every opportunity.

Despite being pressured by the Azzurri supporters to drop Bastoni, Gennaro Gattuso has no intention of doing it.

Indeed, the Nerazzurri stalwart has been a cornerstone of Italy’s defense for years.

With the four-time world champions set to face Northern Ireland in a crunch playoff showdown, Gattuso cannot afford to sideline Bastoni.

Therefore, the former Atalanta man will represent his country despite the risk of drawing boos from sections of the crowd.
