Lulu Lakatos, 60, was found guilty yesterday of committing the theft which saw the precious stones swapped for pebbles while posing as a gem expert at the luxury Mayfair jewellers Boodles. She tried to blame by RecoRD RePoRTeR her sister for the crime but was a member of gang who are believed to have meticulously planned the raid by watching a fly-on-the-wall TV documentary. Prosecutors likened the heist to a Hollywood movie and said it was the highest value crime of its kind ever committed in the UK. Sentencing Lakatos to five-and-a-half years, Judge Emma Goodall QC, told Southwark Crown Court: “This was a highly sophisticated and audacious offence in terms of planning, risk and reward, an offence in respect of which you played an integral role.” The raid happened two years after Channel 4 documentary The Million Pound Necklace: Inside Boodles revealed the inner workings of the jewellers.

MoRe aT DailyRecoRD.co.UK Daily RecoRD Thursday, July 29, 2021 war rages on behind bars Page 5 by RoRy caSSiDy rory.cassidy@reachplc.com JAIL target Robert McCann has been put in solitary for his own safety after being attacked three times in a matter of weeks. The 40-year-old gunshot survivor needed stitches to an ugly wound after being injured with a bladed weapon in Addiewell Prison, West Lothian. The attack came just weeks after he was on the end of two similar violent assaults in HMP Shotts, Lanarkshire. McCann, jailed for torturing a man for hours with a hammer and wire, is linked to the Daniel crime family, who have been warring for more than 20 years with the rival Lyons gang. It is claimed he was hired to attack inmates loyal to crime boss Steven Lyons, who is based in Dubai. However, prison officials have now kept him away from the main prison population after a series of violent incidents which have left him scarred. A source said: “The money spent on McCann has been wasted. The Daniels thought he would give them bigger presence in prison. “But it hasn’t worked out that way. It looks like he is going to spend the rest of his sentence in solitary confinement in the digger for his own safety. “He was attacked twice in Shotts. He went into protection for a few weeks before being allowed back in the main hall. “McCann was attacked again then moved to Addiewell because it was thought he’d be safer there. But he’s only been in Addiewell a couple of weeks and he’s been hurt again. “The guards don’t want him near any other prisoners. It’s obvious he is a marked man.” McCann was jailed for seven years at the High Court in Glasgow The guards don’t want him near other prisoners Subdeck in here thanks in here taryi Marked man McCann is kept in solitary for his own safety for his part in attacking car crash victim Paul Connor. Underworld sources say the thug’s brother James “Jasper” McCann, who got eight years after the pair tried to extort money from Connor, was also hired as a jail hitman for the Daniels, headed by Steven “Bonzo” Daniel. James McCann was also slashed in HMP Shotts in June The money spent on mccann has been wasted prison source on the future for robert mccann after he was transferred there from Glasgow’s Barlinnie and told inmates he planned to avenge the attack on his sibling by “doing” anyone linked to the Lyons gang. He was a suspect in the murder of Lyons associate James “Goofy” Docherty, who was knifed in the street and then run over three times in 2006. No one has been convicted for the killing. The thug was also cleared of slashing convicted heroin dealer David Santini in 2014 and the attempted murder of a garage boss in Edinburgh in 2012. The source addeed: “There was always going to be trouble when Jasper got jailed. “The Lyons have blamed Jasper for Goofy’s murder for years. “It backfired when he announced he was going after them inside.” In September 2018, Robert McCann was shot in the east end of Glasgow but the alleged gunman was cleared over the murder bid. Another shooting victim, targeted in a separate attack, said two masked thugs had asked for James McCann. The McCanns were locked up in 2019 after taking Connor from a flat in Glasgow’s Shettleston and holding him at a property in Airdrie, where they tortured him. They wanted money from a compensation payout he got following a car crash. Accomplice Greg Bannerman, 54, was imprisoned for four years for the role he played in the 2017 ordeal. Prison authorities have struggled to keep a lid on the feud between the Daniel and Lyons organised crime groups. Officials have tried to keep men linked to the gangs in separate prisons. But a Police Scotland crackdown on their war – codenamed Operation Engagement – has resulted in a large number of their foot solidiers being jailed. The success has led to difficulties in the Scottish Prison Service keeping the rivals apart and resulted in an upward trend in jail assaults. A Scottish Prison Service spokesperson said: “We don’t comment on individuals.” faMily BUSiNeSS Robert McCann and his brother James “Jasper” McCann Richardson is serving an eight-year sentence for organised crime offences linked to brothers Barry and James Gillespie. Q: Who are the lyons and how have they become so notorious? A: The Lyons crime family is bossed by Steven Lyons, thought to be living in Dubai. He left Scotland for Spain in 2006 after being targeted in a gun ambush which claimed his cousin Michael. Hitmen Raymond Anderson and James McDonald were convicted of the murder and jailed for life. Steven Lyons is believed to have forged links with the Kinahan crime family who are from Dublin and are considered one of Europe’s most powerful cartels. Police believe the Kinahans are led by Marbella-based boxing promotor Daniel Kinahan, who denies he is linked to crime. Q: What other gangs are in play? A: The Gillespies of iN exile Steven Lyons Rutherglen, near Glasgow, are wanted by Police Scotland for allegedly running a multi-million pound drugs and guns empire and are said to be hiding in South America. The siblings have been linked to a number of shootings, punishment beatings and drug busts – including a record-breaking haul of cocaine which was intercepted in France in 2009. Police seized 684kg of the drug, worth an estimated £31million, hidden among cash tills and coffee in the back of the truck registered in Scotland. The lorry had been scheduled to travel to London, then on to Glasgow. Martyn Fitsimmons, a former soldier and Daniel clan member, is serving 10-and-a-half years for his role in a £200million drugs and arms plot linked to the Gillespies. Q: Does this have anything to do with the Bradley Welsh murder in edinburgh. A: Edinburgh gangland figure George “Dode” hiTMaN Raymond Anderson Baigrie, a former boxer, is an ally of the Lyons family. Baigrie was jailed for 15 years in 2003 after attacking a man with a samurai sword. He was once an associate of Richardson before they fell out. Baigrie has a reputation for violence and was one of Scotland’s most feared inmates before his release. He was implicated in the murder of Bradley Welsh this year. The High Court in Edinburgh heard Baigrie paid hitman Sean Orman to shoot Welsh outside his home in the city in 2019. Welsh, who had a role in Trainspotting sequel T2, was a close associate of Richardson.

Dr Nicholas Phin, director of public health science at Public Health Scotland, said: “The results of this study are, therefore, hugely encouraging in showing that vaccination amongst this group does provide substantial levels of protection against coronavirus. “This should bring welcome news to those who are at most risk across the country. “However, caution is still needed.” DeaTHS ToP 10K five-year average last week at 1110.

The Scottish Government’s announcement yesterday follows UK Transport Secretary Grant Shapps unveiling the same changes for England. The need for travellers to selfisolate for 10 days upon arrival in Scotland is being waived subject to the countries covered remaining on the amber travel list. Travellers will need to show a negative test before departure and produce a negative PCR test result on day two after arrival. The need to take a further PCR test on day eight is being dropped. Scottish Transport Secretary Michael Matheson said: “This has only been made possible due to the overwhelming success of our vaccination programme here in Scotland when coupled with successful rollouts of vaccination schemes in the EU and US. “Fully vaccinated travellers will be able to travel to Scotland under this significant relaxation of international travel measures, providing a boost for the tourism sector and wider economy while ensuring public health is protected. “This new arrangement will be carefully monitored by clinicians and kept under close review as we seek to put Scotland firmly on the path to recovery, but people should continue to think carefully about travelling – especially given the prevalence and unpredictable nature of variants of concern.” Those arriving will be required to show either the EU Digital Covid Certificate or the US Centres for Disease Control DiScUSSioNS John Swinney Holidaymakers from US and EU - except France - will avoid having to quarantine if they have been double vaccinated under new measures Island is being ‘throttled’ by poor ferry service ecoNoMy HiT Millport on the Isle of Cumbrae PoSiTiVe NeWS New plans for tourists visiting from the EU and US with two jabs will be in place from Monday , and Prevention’s white card – known as a CDC card – to prove they are fully vaccinated.

In an interview with LBC radio, the PM was asked about comments by Gove, the Cabinet Office minister, on Tuesday, where he said: “If you can be vaccinated and you refuse to, that’s a selfish act.” Johnson replied: “I would put it the other way round. If you get one, you’re doing something massively positive, for yourself, for your family.” Johnson also said the August 16 date for double-vaccinated people in England to avoid self-isolation is “nailed on”.

Alasdair Kilgour, 33, ended up in intensive care on his birthday after struggling to breathe with the virus. And he is still suffering the devastating effects of Long Covid, which have left him breathless, fatigued and struggling to cope with day-to-day life. Alasdair, from Shotts, Lanarkshire, is still so poorly he is unable to look after his five-year-old son Cole on his own and relies on his mum, Lorraine, for help. When Alasdair landed in intensive care on April 5 he said: “I remember thinking to myself, ‘I am gone’. I couldn’t see a way back from this. I couldn’t even function to open my phone to make a call. “I was breaking my heart in there, shouting for Cole. It was the worst experience of my life.” Shock new figures from the Scottish Government last week showed a third of 18 to 29-year-olds and 20 per cent of 30 to 39-year-olds had not taken up the vaccine offer. But since bravely telling his story, Alasdair and Lorraine have been swamped with messages of support. The attitudes of many towards the vaccines have been changed after reading his story, including a young woman who was previously opposed to getting the jab. Alasdair said: “A friend of my late father’s got in touch to say he had made his daughter read my story in the Record. She had STRicKeN Alasdair in hospital been resisting getting it for a while but after she read the story her dad was able to convince her to get her vaccination. It is so important for people to know what happened to me could happen to anybody. “Yet while most of the messages I received were supportive, there were some on social media which accused me of scaremongering. “Do they think I shoved wee tubes up my nose for the fun of it? How can they possibly believe that? “I know there are people out there who will never change their mind through stubbornness or ignorance.” And he implored: “If you are in any doubt about getting the vaccine, please open your eyes and read about it from a proper source and ask questions at the vaccination centre. “Anyone with any sense will see it is there for the common good to save lives. And it is saving thousands of lives.” There are drop-in centres throughout mainland Scotland where people can turn up for first vaccinations if they have not already had them.”

Page 8 MoRe aT DailyRecoRD.co.UK Daily RecoRD Thursday, July 29, 2021 RecoRd View Show you’re not the ‘nasty party’ No doubt Rishi Sunak will make much of the Treasury’s handling of the pandemic when he arrives in Scotland today. One in three jobs have been supported through the Covid crisis, over 900,000 people in Scotland were furloughed and more than 90,000 businesses were supported with loans. Sunak is now in danger of losing all that goodwill by slashing Universal Credit for the poorest people in the country. It would tarnish his own reputation if he goes ahead with the cut – the biggest cut to a benefit since the welfare state started in the 1940s. And what’s more it would demonstrate once and for all that the Tory party is still the “Nasty Party” – despite Boris Johnson’s commitment to “levelling up”. To go ahead with a cut of £20 a week to Universal Credit would immediately push 420,000 more children, 22,000 of them in Scotland, below the poverty line. They would join 4.3million children already in poverty, a figure that has increased by one million in the last decade of Tory rule. Almost 40 per cent of their parents will be working but sinking financially if this cut goes ahead. Keeping the £20 UC uplift would cost the relatively modest sum of £6billion. But that would not even begin to touch the sides of the £37billion in benefit cuts, caps and freezes that a previous chancellor, George Osborne, imposed on poor families. There can be no way the Conservative government can congratulate itself with glib slogans about “levelling up” or “building back better” if our economic recovery is built on the backs of the poor. It really is time for Rishi Sunak to think again. Life-saving story WHEN Alasdair Kilgour told the story of his struggle with Covid he had no idea the impact it would have. The young single dad thought he would die when he was rushed into hospital on his 33rd birthday this year and he feared he would never see his son Cole again. He pulled through, but he is still suffering from the life-changing effects of Long Covid. Alasdair found it hard to talk about his experiences but by doing so he has already made a difference. He knows of at least one vaccine refuser who changed her mind after reading his story and who knows how many others have had their eyes opened by his words. Many young people have still not chosen to have a vaccine, perhaps thinking the effect of Covid would not be serious. But the virus can kill young people and the effects of Long Covid can be devastating. Well done to Alasdair for telling his story to help educate our young people. His courage will save lives. DaD’S HaRRoWiNg SToRy – Page 7 blunt message for rishi sunak think again JoHN DicKie Director of Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) in Scotland: Rishi Sunak’s decision to increase the standard allowance within Universal Credit by £20 was absolutely right and has protected hundreds of thousands of children from poverty across the UK. “Ending the uplift would be a disaster. “The chancellor needs to think again, do the right thing, and retain the £20 uplift to protect children and families from further hardship.” DaviD liNDeN MP, SNP Work and Pensions spokesman: The chancellor is set to repeat the mistakes of the past with a colossal austerity cut to social security. “The £20-a-week cut will prove devastating at a crucial point in our recovery from the pandemic and with an estimated 40 per cent of recipients in employment, will create an unprecedented surge of in-work poverty.” “Rishi Sunak’s Universal Credit Crunch will only hamper our economic rebound.” aNaS SaRWaR Scottish Labour leader MSP: This Tory government is set to throw the most vulnerable in our society under the bus while we are still in the midst of the crisis. “To go ahead with the cut is callous, dangerous and wrong. “And to have a cliff-edge end to furlough will risk the livelihoods of thousands of Scots. “The decision to continue with the cut to Universal Credit sends a clear message that the Tories are more than happy to make the weakest pay for the crisis.” ScoTTiSH viSiT Chancellor Rishi Sunak will be playing up benefits of the Union Campaigners and politicians urge Chancellor not to scrap £20 Universal Credit increase RiSHi Sunak has been told by Scotland to “think again” on his planned £20 a week cut to Universal Credit. As the Tory chancellor arrived for a visit today to play up the benefits of the Union, he was sent a crossparty message from politicians and poverty campaigners that he is actually endangering trust in the UK Government by plunging thousands of Scottish children into poverty. The plan to reverse the £20 a week increase to Universal Credit brought in during lockdown is a move that will plunge 22,000 children into poverty in Scotland alone. T h e c a m p a i g n i n g J o s e p h Rowntree Foundation calculated the move will leave half a million lowincome families in Scotland, one in five of working families, £1000-a-year worse off. Almost 40 per cent of the UC claimants in Scotland, about 176,000 people, are also in work, but do not bring home enough money to stay afloat, according to trade union research. Struggling parents, including thousands of key workers, by ToRcUil cRicHToN Westminster Editor are relying on the increase to stay afloat through the pandemic and its economic aftermath. However, the chancellor has always insisted that the £20 uplift to Universal Credit “was always intended to be a temporary measure”. The £20 top-up was extended by six months in March and campaigners and opposition politicians have called for it to continue as claimants start getting letters, phone calls and online messages informing them that the cut will kick in between September and October. Six former Conservative work and pensions secretaries have written to Sunak urging him to continue with the extra £20 a week and the chairs of social security committees in all the UK’s parliaments have sent a joint plea for payments to be maintained. Today they are joined by Scottish poverty campaigners and politicians who have urged Sunak to reconsider what amounts to the biggest overnight cut to the basic rate of social security since World War II. cHRiS BiRT, Deputy Director for Scotland at the independent Joseph Rowntree Foundation: The UK Government is on course to make a terrible mistake if it cuts Universal Credit by £20-aweek in October. “We know this will make half a million low-income families across Scotland £1000-a-year worse off. “If ministers plough ahead with this devastating cut to Universal Credit despite widespread opposition, it will undo the good of doubling the Scottish Child Payment. ” Roz FoyeR: STUC General Secretary, The last year and a half has been difficult for everyone, but those on the lowest incomes have been hardest hit. This includes thousands of workers who did not qualify for furlough or the self-employed support scheme. “For many, the £20 Universal Credit uplift has helped them weather the storm and to pull it away would be cruel. This reeks of a return to austerity, which isn’t good for workers, communities or the economy. The £20 uplift must be made permanent.” WeNDy cHaMBeRlaiN Lib Dem North East Fife MP: A £20 per week reduction will drag half a million more people into poverty, including 200,000 more children. “At a time when millions of families have been forced to access support just to make ends meet, that is shameful. “When the chancellor visits Scotland he should think long and hard about the harm this cut will do to families and communities right across Scotland. ”

Natasha Comaskey had taken her three children on a trip to M&D’s theme park in Motherwell but as the family prepared to leave, her oldest daughter Savannah, 10, became extremely ill. As Natasha was strapping 10-month-old Oakley into her car seat, Savannah opened the packet o f c h l o r i n e t a b l e t s a n d b e g a n to gasp for air as her throat closed up.

Natasha, 30, from the Gorbals, Glasgow, told the Record: “I had taken the girls to M&D’s and we only stayed for around an hour as it was too warm. “Just as I was trying to strap my 10-month-old in, I heard Savannah’s younger sister Hayden screaming and ‘traUmatised’ Savannah crying.

She was trying to get her breath and crying. “I was shouting ‘What’s wrong?’ “ S h e w a s g e t t i n g a b i t m o r e lifeless and her face was getting whiter. “Her lips were also turning blue.

That’s when she let out a big cough and managed to have a breath and come around a bit.” Paramedics arrived at the scene and told Natasha it was possible the chlorine tablets had melted in the heat and Savannah’s airways had closed when she sniffed them. The schoolgirl was taken to Wishaw General Hospital and kept in overnight as she had to be put on oxygen, a drip and a cardiac machine as her heart rate kept dropping and her potassium levels remained low. Savannah is at home recovering but has been traumatised by the incident. Mum Natasha is now desperate to raise awareness of the dangers chlorine tablets can pose. Natasha said: “Probably no one knows the dangers. It is scary stuff. I want to try and warn people about it. I was helpless. “I put a post on Facebook and nobody even thought they [the chlorine tablets] could be really dangerous unless they were eaten. “I think it will take Savannah a w h i l e t o g e t o v e r i t , s h e i s traumatised.

The 36-year-old gave a thumbs-up as she rode into history after taking bronze in the equestrian dressage event. It added to her three golds, one silver and another bronze – making a record six medals. She had matched the best Olympic medal haul for a British woman, achieved by Scots rower Dame Katherine Grainger, on Tuesday. Riding her Olympic horse Gio, Charlotte – known to friends as Charli – anchored the GB performance, posting a score of 2617 points for third place, just 24 points overall behind the US. She took another bronze in the individual event yesterday. Reflecting on her achievement, Charlotte said: “It’s just so surreal. “People say it, and I can’t quite believe it. Being level with Katherine Grainger was good enough, and now I have beaten her. It’s incredible, and I can honestly say I am proud of myself. “I knew I wasn’t going to go down without a fight. I wanted to go out and enjoy it, and he gave me absolutely everything. “To win medals individually, and in the team in the last three Games, I couldn’t be prouder.

What he has done here is phenomenal.” After she won gold at Rio 2016, her boyfriend Dean Wyatt Golding made headlines around the world when he proposed with a sign which read: ‘Can we get married now?’ But Charlotte wrote in her memoir two years later: ‘We planned to marry, but I was so busy it didn’t really happen’, and they eventually called an end to their 13-year relationship.” On their first date, Charlotte had told him: “My horses will always come before you.” Cyclist Laura Kenny has four gold medals - and may yet overtake Charlotte next week when she returns to the Olympic track. Team GB stood sixth in the table last night, with hosts Japan going top. SWIMMING star Duncan Scott is savouring becoming Scotland’s first Olympic swimming gold medallist in 45 years. The flying freestyler is the first Scot to taste victory, as part of the 200m relay team, since David Wilkie won the 200 metres breaststroke at the 1976 Montreal Games. And Duncan could now go on to surpass Wilkie’s achievement, with two more chances of gold in his coming events. After his anchor leg on the 4 x 200m relay was recorded as the fastest in the entire event, Duncan, 24, admitted he was disappointed not to get a world record. The Scots hero said: “We were so close to the world record at the end. If anything, I’m a bit gutted.” Duncan had picked himself up after being denied gold by pal Tom Dean in the 200m freestyle just a day earlier, settling instead for a silver.

The two-time champion’s bid for a fourth medal (he also won silver in the mixed doubles with Laura Robson in 2012) ended in narrow defeat to Croatian pair Marin Cilic and Ivan Dodig, 6-4, 6-7, 7-10. Murray admitted the decisive reason to feel confident of bringing through more stars. He added: “I think this offers proof that what we are doing in Scotland right now works because we have achieved a level of consistency with elite swimmers. “There are others gaining real recognition and Kathleen Dawson has already shown she is top class with sixth place in the 100 metre backstroke. She also may have another chance of a medal in the medley.” After the gold run, Duncan paid tribute to fellow relay members Tom Dean, James Guy and Matthew Richards. He said: “Myself and Jimmy in particular, we’ve been on so many 4x2s together and we’ve been able to win Worlds, Europeans, and in 2016 we came 2nd, which was a monster achievement at the time. tie-break was a painful way to bow out and turned his attention towards next month’s US Open singles.

Of Dick Turpin variety Well done to the talented team of conservators in Sussex who spent an incredible 15 months restoring a bust of David Livingstone after it was smashed into HUNDREDS of pieces. They got it completed just in time for yesterday’s re-opening of the David Livingstone Birthplace Museum in Blantyre. Ah, good auld Blantyre. As a wise man once observed: “If you’ve ever been to Blantyre, you’ll appreciate why Livingstone went to Africa.” IT was revealed last week that printer ink is now more expensive than champagne. But let me ask you this, ladies and gentlemen… is ANYTHING dearer than fuel from a motorway service station? Tell you what, if Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos had been forced to fill their rockets on the M6, I don’t think the billionaire duo could have afforded to venture into space. En route to Blackpool last week, I made the stupid mistake of filling up our motorhome at the Tebay Services (a much smarter move, apparently, is driving to the Tesco garage in Carlisle). And when I clocked the prices, it was ME who was filling up. I mean, come on, 155.9p for a litre of diesel? This was Day Two of the English not having to wear facemasks but the folk in charge of the petrol pumps were clearly sporting the Dick Turpin variety. When I flagged up this daylight robbery on social media, quite a few of my followers responded in a similar manner: “Aye, Tam, but the homemade pies, sausage rolls and Scotch eggs at Tebay are out of this world.” Alas, I didn’t have anything to eat as I only had 140 quid on me… Nah, I preferred the feedback from another guy who said: “Remember, motorway service stations are in difficult-to-reach locations with poor road links. It’s difficult for the tankers to get to them.” Is he a master of sarcasm or what? (Hats off to you, mate!)

And while Kate Beckinsale, who turned 48 this week, keeps in shape for her Hollywood action movies there’s also a deeper reason for her being a gym bunny. She said: “I always exercise, just because it helps keep you sane! “I tend to be more anxious than angry. I can lose it if someone is mean to my mum or my kid but I’m not like that by nature.” Born in London, the daughter of Porridge and Rising Damp star Richard Beckinsale, who died aged 31 in 1979, and Hair actress Judy Loe, Kate has become a Hollwyood star thanks to her role as vampire Selene in the Underworld franchise, as well as films such as Pearl Harbor, the Total Recall reboot and Van Helsing. Up until the first Underworld in 2003, she had bobbed along in period dramas and romantic comedies. But playing the black catsuit-wearing Selene opened her up to the action genre. Her latest film, out on Amazon Prime Video, is Jolt, which again sees her kicking butt. But she said: “I don’t ever really go out looking to be in an action movie. What attracted me to Jolt was the comedy and how original the character is.” Laughing, she added: “I don’t go out looking for fights. The first Underworld star insists she doesn’t seek out action roles.. but being in stunning shape at 48 has her ready when the right part comes calling by RicK fUlTon r.fulton@dailyrecord.co.uk Underworld movie very much was a test for me because it was not my sensibility and not what I expected to do. “The training was really intense and I had never really learnt how to run not like a girl before, or throw a punch. I really had to start from basic. “Now people expect me to be Jackie Chan but I still have to learn everything and it takes me a minute to get something.” As well as keeping in enviable shape, Kate also does yoga to keep herself felxible. She said: “That’s how I have managed to not really hurt myself doing this sort of thing... so far!” Kate’s birthday was on Monday and she had a party at her Los Angeles home. The guest list included her daughter Lily, 22, who she’d only recently been reunited with after two years, as well as Rita Ora, Michael Jackson’s daughter Paris and half-Scots actress Anya Taylor-Joy. The actress, hadn’t seen Lily, her daughter with former partner Sheen, for so long because of Covid. While she saw out the pandemic in LA, Lily was in New York, where she is starting out as an actress. When lockdown did lift, Kate had to go to Canada to film a new TV cop series Guilty Party. Kate said: “Thank goodness for FaceTime and all that but we’re both panicking that we’ll look really old to each other.” Lily is the third generation of actors after Kate and grandad Richard, and her mum is proud. Kate said: “She did her first movie (The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent) last year, she’s playing Nicolas Cage’s daughter in a movie where Nicolas Cage is playing Nicolas Cage. And it sounds very wild. “She’s off and running. It’s quite scary.” The birthday party didn’t show Kate with a new man. Her last official boyfriend was American comedian Pete Davidson, which finished after a few months in 2019. She doesn’t seem to be in any rush to find someone new. Kate, who was married to Underworld director Len Wiseman but divorced in 2016, said: “There’s some good eggs and bad eggs, you’ve just got to figure out who’s who.” While she often gets publicity for a new man or a racy magazine cover shoot, as well as her work, Kate continues to look for serious parts – especially if they scare her. She said: “I always look for characters and projects that frighten me because that means I am going to be challenged.” Jolt, which also stars Stanley Tucci and Suicide Squad’s Jai Courtney, is certainly a wild film. She plays Lindy Lewis, who has a rare neurological disorder that causes her to sporadically experience bouts of uncontrol- lable rage. In order to curb her murderous tendencies, she has a device that shocks her with electricity and brings her back down to Earth. When she’s eventually able to find love only for him to be murdered, she sets off on a journey of revenge. Kate said: “I loved the script and fact that it was a completely original, female-led action comedy – not something based on a video game, a comic book or anything else like that. “Lindy is a completely unique character. “Like all of us, she’s trying to be better but she is struggling to control her impulses.” Now, with 30-plus movies under her belt, does she have any advice for aspiring actors looking to carve out characters of their own? Kate said: “My advice would be go to beauty school and learn hairdressing because you can make a lot of money as a hairdresser!” ● Jolt is out now on A m a z o n Prime Video. Rage In new movie Jolt

For many whisky aficionados, owning a cask of whisky is the pinnacle of their collecting journey. Old casks, especially from prestigious distilleries, are extremely rare but a prime “allrounder” example – a 30-year-old Rare Macallan whisky set to go under the hammer by ian fleTcheR Macallan 1991 whisky cask – is appearing at Bonhams Fine and Rare Whisky sale in Hong Kong on August 20. Distilled by Macallan in December 1991, the cask was re-racked in 2017 with sherry. Sherry is the preferred choice of wood to give whisky a unique impact of clove, resin, dried fruit and tannin – a sweet palate which most drinkers will find approachable. Its high alcohol content at around 51.5 per cent ABV makes it a highly desirable choice for both long-term collecting and for eventually yielding around 202 bottles. The cask carries an e s t i m a t e o f £ 3 7 0 k , w h i c h translates into a competitive per-bottle price of about £1369. Bonhams currently holds the world auction record for a whisky cask.

But the then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher saw no point in investing in telecoms. She believed the capitalist marketplace could resolve all issues by itself. She seized telecommunications from the Post Office in 1981, and repackaged it as British Telecom. She privatised half of it in 1984, and the Tories sold off the rest in the early 1990s.

Emma Johnston, 49, admitted targeting her ex’s mother and sister with dozens of false claims - including messages and letters from funeral and by RecoRD RePoRTeR crematorium services, and reports to police alleging domestic abuse and benefit fraud. Aberdeen Sheriff Court heard how a 71-year old leukaemia sufferer received calls and letters from funeral directors stating she had died. Johnston, of Stoneywood, Aberdeen, admitted both charges of causing fear or alarm by stalking and was warned against any more contact with the women, or she would face jail. The offences took place between February 2020 and March 2021. Sheriff William Summers told Johnston: “This was clearly considered and well planned.” One of her victims – who didn’t want to be named – branded her “evil”. DON’T MISS THE PRIDE OF SCOTLAND AWARDS UPLIFTING TV by anna bURnsiDe RESTAURANTS will have to reduce staff hours and put up prices if they are going to survive the pandemic. That’s the future as predicted by Nick Nairn, veteran celebrity chef and restaurateur. Aged 62, Nairn is doing 12-hour shifts in the kitchen of his new venture at Lake of Menteith in the Trossachs in Stirlingshire. “I’m back in harness,” he said. “It’s not by choice – we don’t have enough people to go around.” The gruelling work, in a kitchen that can reach 40C, is taking its toll on his back and feet. But with a busy restaurant in Bridge of Allan and a new venture that’s fully booked, he has no choice but to put in a shift. One day last week Nick, the restaurant’s head chef and a young junior cooked for 120. Reopening has forced the hospitality industry to go, he says, “from zero to 60mph” while coping with staff shortages and Covid restrictions. The chefs who have stuck with the industry have had 17 months off work and are struggling to keep up. “Restaurants take a while to get up to speed,” Nick explained. “But we opened the doors and went flat out. “That’s really hard on people – their stamina, their muscle memory, their ability to process all these things quickly. “If you are doing it every day, it’s second nature, but after sitting at home for long periods of time you just can’t.” So extra bodies are needed to pick up the slack. He added: “Now we need five people where we used to need four. Plus covers are up 20 per cent, so we need six. And we can’t get the staff.” Nick is lucky that he has kept all the staff from his Bridge of Allan restaurant. But he needs to recruit more for his new venture at Lake of Menteith – just as every other hotel, restaurant, cafe and bar in Scotland finds itself in the same situation. He explained: “A lot of Europeans worked in hospitality and a lot went home. Some are staying because Poland’s DifficUlTies Nick Nairn. Top, with fellow chef Tom and, above, Tom’s eaterie.

There are various barriers in their way, one of which is Brexit.” Then Scots, who had worked in kitchens for years, were furloughed or laid off and discovered the life they had been missing. Nick said: “Lots of the guys at home during lockdown have realised – this is nice being at home at weekends, seeing the kids at night. “There are millions of jobs in supermarkets and in Amazon delivery. A lot have gone, f**k the money, why should I do 12 hours a day in a stinking hot kitchen, I’m going to do 40 hours a week

I understand that. Some of them are senior guys who have never had a Saturday night off, never had time with their kids. “They have seen there’s a whole different world out there and that’s had an effect on people.” On top of this pain, the industry has to cope with the revelations of bullying and abuse in Michelin-starred chef Tom Kitchin’s businesses. Nick said: “These are all accusations, I don’t know how much is true. In the past, I have seen behaviour like that in kitchens but more down in London, not here in Scotland. “It was prevalent back in the day, people used to boast about being the hardest kitchen in the city. But I thought all that had gone and kitchens were a bit kinder.” Nick has had to check his own behaviour. He said: “My head chef pulled me up last week for the way I was talking to some of the boys. “He said, look, you need to pull back a bit, it’s not 1990 – and he was right. “In the past, it was a seen as a cultural thing, kitchens are high pressure environments and because of the pressure get away with compromising behaviour. Actually, no you don’t. “We normalised bad behaviour. We used to go to the bar at night and have a laugh about it. “Chef rapped me over the knuckles with a frozen rhubarb. Look at my hand, it’s all swollen. We would laugh about it but you can’t do that s**t.” To encourage the staff the industry needs, this behaviour needs to end. Nick added: “Our industry will be under the spotlight, we need to be a bit more transparent and look after our guys better.” Restaurants, including Michelinstarred Cail Bruich in Glasgow, have moved to a four-day week and Nick hopes to do the same. His staff work four-and-a-half days a week. He said: “Chefs at the lowest level have to be paid the living wage. We have to demonstrate that they get staff discounts and good tips, that we don’t take the p**s. Chefs have to be treated like human beings.” Nick worries about how these essential changes will affect his bottom line. He said: “Somebody’s got to pay for it. If guys only work 40 hours a week, I need one-and-a-half guys to cover that shift. My costs just went up by 50 per cent. The person who’s going to have to pay for that is the customer.” As well as extra staff costs, restaurants are facing rising food prices. Nick said: “Things are getting tough, inflation is going to come. We are seeing material prices going up. Flour, sugar, oil, wine, butter, cream – all these basic commodities have shot up in price. “Brexit has a big part to play but it’s also a great shield. There’s a lot of profiteering going on as well.” He thinks that most customers will accept the inevitable price rises but a small minority will resist and vote with their feet. But he hopes that they will reject the Primark model and pay a bit more for quality food and service. “We’ve accepted that cheap clothing has a price. Well cheap food has a price, too.”

Laura said she wanted to be stronger so she could lift daughter Kaylin – who has spina bifida – in and out of her wheelchair but her health kick has now turned her life around. Laura, 30, triumphed over competitors from around scotland to win the title at Hostile strength gym in Motherwell. she said Kaylin is proud as punch of her mum and Laura hopes the future will bring more success. Laura – who lifted 250kg during the competition – said: “I started training about two years ago. I never really had a goal to begin with and then we had the lockdowns so we just continued training outside and I was initially supposed to be going for scotland’s strongest Woman before lockdown meant it was postponed. “It ended up being quite a good thing, so I was able to get stronger. “I was up against a lot of people and some amazing athletes that have been training for years and have been to British and World championships, so I was absolutely buzzing to have won.” Laura added: “Initially I started training because I was gaining weight. I had my daughter quite young, so I thought it made sense to make a career out of this as well as getting stronger because she’s growing. “Now she’s 10 and has a good bit of weight about her, so it does help, but doing the weights was also something for me too and gave me some get up and go and made getting on with my day a bit easier.” Laura stays in Blackburn, West Lothian, with partner colin and Kaylin’s older brother, also colin. she said she began training in January 2019 with partner colin and started to look at competing as it was something “a bit different” – and hasn’t looked back. With colin having been training most of his life, Laura decided to “tag along” with him to the gym to lift weights and was hooked from there. she said both her son and daughter are proud of what she’s achieved.

Camping fall saved my life after doctors found cancer ‘lUcKy’ Jenny was diagnosed after enduing pain following a tumble Tumour diagnosed after 6 months of wheezing A bAd fall saved the life of a woman who was unaware she had lung cancer. Jenny Campbell, 71, didn’t know the wheeze she’d had for about six months was anything serious. Had she not attended the doctor for treatment to what she thought was a cracked rib after a tumble on a camping trip, it may have been too late to save her. Jenny’s GP sent her for an X-ray and shortly after she learned she had a tumour in her lung – and it was treatable as it was detected early. Jenny is now urging people to be aware of the possible signs and symptoms of lung cancer and get them checked as early as possible. Jenny said: “I’d developed by ViVienne aiTKen Health Editor a slight wheeze which had been there for about six months. I now know it was a symptom of lung cancer but I get hay fever and suffer from various allergies, so I didn’t think anything of it. “I had no pain prior to the fall either, so it was entirely fortuitous that I tripped getting out of my tent. “It was a terrible shock. I don’t think the reality of my diagnosis actually sank in at all.” Following keyhole surgery to remove the tumour in December 2018, Jenny underwent three months of chemotherapy and was recommended for an immunotherapy trial, undergoing 12 sessions. She finished the course in May 2020 and is monitored every six months. Jenny saod: “My overriding feeling in the past three years has been one of intense fatigue, it feels like the time since my diagnosis has passed in a blur. “Although tired, I tried to remain positive throughout my treatment and was very determined to survive.” But she said she feels “really lucky”, adding: “I’d say to anyone concerned about possible new or unusual symptoms to get them checked, as there’s lots that can be done for lung cancer if it’s found early.” Jenny has shared her story to support the Scottish Government’s Detect Cancer Early campaign. The most common symptoms for lung cancer include unusual breathlessness, a new or different persistent cough lasting for more than three weeks, coughing up blood or recurring chest infections. People over the age of 40 are being encouraged to contact their GP practice without delay to get these symptoms checked.

INSIDE Keep it cool with summer must have 30&31 want to know the secret to feeling great? It’s the number 10. Whether it’s 10 minutes of exercise, or adding 10 portions of fruit and veg to your daily diet – thinking in 10s can make a real difference to your wellbeing. Here, our experts explain why 10 is the magic number. 10... minutes of exercise Research published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found just 10 minutes of moderate activity a day can reduce your risk of developing life-threatening conditions such as heart disease. Yet, despite the health benefits, 27 per cent of UK adults are classed as inactive, spending eight times longer watching TV than doing exercise. So why not take 10? The body responds quickly to even small amounts of exercise. One study showed that when nonexercisers walked an average of 72 minutes a week at 2-3mph – that’s about 10 minutes a day – they significantly improved heart strength and general fitness. And for those short on time? Working out for 10 minutes at high intensity is as effective for cardiovascular endurance as a 45-minute run. 10... glasses of water Almost half of us aren’t drinking the daily recommended amount of water, according to a survey from hydration brand ViDrate. We should be aiming for 10 x 200ml glasses, or two litres, across the day. The key is to have water to hand. So keep a water bottle in your bag or at your desk, so it’s always nearby. Create habits by keeping a glass next to something that you routinely do, such as cleaning your teeth or boiling the kettle. Adding slices of orange, lemon, lime, cucumber or fresh mint can make water more enticing. And why not download The Hydro Coach (hydrocoach.com), an app which allows you to set and track your target intake. 10... minutes outdoors According to researchers at Cornell University, 10 minutes spent in nature can reduce the effects of physical and mental stress. And sleep expert Dr Nerina Ramlakhan believes the fresh air and sounds from nature contribute to deeper sleep. “Exposure to sunlight increases the brain’s release of the happy hormone serotonin,” she said. “Even just 10 minutes in your lunch break will make a difference. Or kill two daily record 29.07.2021 birds with one stone and exercise outside – getting as much light as possible will reset the body’s circadian rhythm.” 10... strength moves No matter your age or athletic ability, strength training is the key to flexibility, mobility, maintaining muscle mass and reducing injury risk, say fitness experts. So aim to do 10 reps of bodyweight exercises daily. For instance, try 10 squats, lunges and press-ups. Resistance bands can be just as effective for muscle growth as dumbbells. They’re cheaper and more portable and, with thousands of free tutorials online, you can work the major muscle groups in 10 minutes. 10... fruit and veg Forget the five-a-day target. Researchers at Imperial College London say that we should be eating 10-a-day to safeguard our health. And there are other benefits too. Adding 10 portions of fruit and vegetables to your daily diet could have the same effect on your mood and emotional PLUS Should I tell son about dad’s drinking?

While potatoes don’t count, sweet potatoes do. Add frozen fruit to porridge and yogurts, frozen veg to soups and stir-fries, and replace half the meat in recipes with canned pulses. 10... minutes for a catch-up Phone a friend, suggests Dr Sally Norton, NHS consultant and founder of wellbeing website vavista.com. “It’s well known that social networks and healthy relationships help stave off the mental health issues that affect one in four of us,” she added. “By taking 10 minutes out of your busy daily routine to chat to a friend or work colleague, you are strengthening those bonds that may prove invaluable in keeping your mind as healthy as your body.” 10… minute nap Sleep scientists say we could all benefit from a 10-minute siesta and – if life. ediTed By SaLLy mcLEaN done properly – it can improve mood and memory, reduce stress, and may even relieve strain on the heart. Dr Guy Meadows, sleep physiologist and founder of the Sleep School online clinic and app, explains that a power nap has a similar effect to a strong cup of coffee. “Don’t see it as an opportunity to sleep, see it as an opportunity to switch off and let your mind rest,” he said. 10... of Zen Set a timer and try the 10 of Zen technique, advises mindfulness coach Louise Murray (livewellwith lou.com). All you need is a hot drink. “Make yourself a drink and sit down,” she said. “Notice three things in this moment – the colour of the drink, the weight of the mug, the feeling of the chair. “Then consciously breathe into your shoulders, try to relax them down a little and enjoy your cuppa – savouring the flavour. Return gently to the senses whenever you notice your mind straying into thought.” 10... minutes of reading Research has found that adults who read regularly have a longer lifespan than those who don’t. This is because reading can increase connectivity between brain cells. What’s more, Dr David Lewis, a c o g n i t i v e neuropsychologist, found that just 10 minutes of reading in bed can drastically reduce stress and aid sleep. When reading a book, your mind is distracted from worries that cause tension. Reading also allows your muscles to relax and slows down your breathing. 10… super stretches Counteract the effects of slouching with these five simple stretches, performed twice, says physiotherapist Sammy Margo. She said: “Put your chin down to your chest, then look up to the ceiling. Slowly turn your head left, then right. “Tilt your left ear to your left shoulder, then the right. Interlink your fingers in front of you and stretch forwards. Interlink your fingers behind your back and stretch backwards.”

The STraIghT-TalkIng problem page email dearcoleen@dailyrecord.co.uk HE SPongES oFF ME And IS coLd And So SELFISH Dear Coleen My BOyfrIend of 10 years lives with me in my house but he doesn’t contribute to the mortgage, only to a few food and electricity bills. he has his own flat, which he rents out, but keeps the money. he rarely buys me birthday presents, and we rarely have sex. he’s distant and cold and will often make plans without me. I love him but I don’t think he loves me. In the past, I’ve found flirty messages from other women on his phone but he laughs them off or tells me to stop being so nosy. I’m quite overweight and I don’t have many friends. My self-esteem is low, so I sometimes think this is all I deserve. at other times, I want to confront him but I’m worried he’ll tell me he doesn’t love me and that it’s over. Can you help? Should I tell son about his drunken, womanising dad? Dear Coleen I had a very unhappy marriage with my ex-husband. he was a heavy drinker who used to gamble a lot so we were always in debt, and going without. he worked away a lot too, and had two short-lived flings (that I know of) with women from work. as a result, I was often irritable, tearful and shorttempered with my three children. My middle son, who is now in his early 30s, has always been the most sensitive, and he recently sat me down and told me that he thinks I was a stressful and distracted mother, and he told me it affected everything from his self-esteem to his ability to hold down a relationship. What feels unfair is the fact that I kept a lot of their dad’s behaviour from the children so they wouldn’t think badly of him and, as a result, they all have a good relationship with him now. Would it be unfair of me to tell my son what his dad was really like and explain that’s why I was so unhappy for a lot of his childhood? I get on OK with my ex, so I don’t want to rock the boat, but I don’t want my son to think I was a terrible mother either and that it was all my fault when his dad should take some of the blame. “He puts all the blame on me for his low self-esteem Coleen says I thInK the way round this is to own up to the fact that you were a snappy, stressed mum, but without going into every single detail – like his dad’s drinking or affairs. Explain that it was because you were in a very unhappy marriage. You could say something like: “things between me and your dad weren’t great, and as much as I tried not to be grumpy and lash out at you kids, things were tough.” Remind him how much you love him and how sorry you are that he feels this way. You don’t have to tell him what you’ve told me but he’s in his 30s now – he’s not 10, so he’s old enough and should be mature enough to realise that life isn’t always so straightforward and that his dad wasn’t perfect either. and surely he can see how much happier you are now? do apologise for making him feel this way but go easy on yourself and remember that you’re only human. as parents, we all make mistakes, but that doesn’t mean we love our kids any less. Coleen says ThIS does sound miserable and I’m so sorry you think you deserve so little. Sit him down and have a proper conversation. Tell him truthfully and calmly how you feel and ask him how he feels. It might be difficult to hear what he has to say but believe me, it’s better to know where you stand now than in another five or 10 years down the line. If, however, he doesn’t want to break up with you, then things need to change. For a start, if he’s living with you, then he absolutely needs to start paying his way. he can put the rental income from his flat towards your mortgage, for example. At the moment he’s living like a lodger who barely pays rent, while making zero effort as a boyfriend. It’s simply not good enough and you deserve so much more. problems? love fact Forty per cent of Brits have not had sex with their partners during lockdown, with most blaming working from home, according to a new study from dating site Ashley Madison.

I didn’t speak to my family sort this out.” They don’t need for four years because of some to discuss the fight but they do falling out. Looking back, it was a need to grow up and move total waste of those years. It forward for everybody’s sake. Dear Coleen My daughter and I have always been close. I also have two sons, and I divorced their father 10 years ago and remarried five years ago. My daughter and sons have always got on OK with their stepfather but they’re very different and often have what I thought were lighthearted disagreements about things like politics. Six months ago, they had an argument about Brexit, and my son-in-law stormed out of our house. I told my husband off for winding him up but I didn’t think anything more of it. Since then, however, my daughter has become more and more distant and it’s got to the point where they barely see or speak to us. I’m devastated but Tell Coleen Nolan about them and she’ll give you an honest answer… every weekday in the Daily Record If you have a problem, write to: Dear Coleen, Daily Record, One Central Quay, Glasgow G3 8DA or email dearcoleen@dailyrecord.co.uk.

Filmed using the latest technology, viewers will be brought closer than ever before to real-life emergencies, seeing inside burning buildings and getting to the heart of the action. West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service has 900 firefighters dedicated to serving a population of more than two million people – often in remote, highly dangerous and life-threatening situations. Each episode shows the men and foReNSicS Officers at Jones’ home TeaMwoRK sophie, Kelly, Nicola and sarah from leeds’s Killingbeck station women behind the visors as they help communities during last winter when the coronavirus pandemic caused more lockdowns. From bringing under control one of the biggest fires seen in Bradford in decades, to helping vulnerable people at home, there is plenty of drama and jeopardy, as well as some Yorkshire warmth and humour. In A YEAR IN THE BEACONS STV, 8.30pm Harry Legge-Bourke is lord of the manor, owner of the Glanusk Estate in the Brecon Beacons, which is in desperate need of business. He’s on a mission and hoping that clay pigeon shooting will help to pull the punters in. Harry is just one of the people followed here, as the series explores what it’s like to live in the Brecon Beacons, Wales’ biggest National Park, through the changing seasons. Filming across a year, the show’s this first episode, it’s the run-up to Bonfire Night, and crews across some of West Yorkshire’s 40 stations are wondering how the coronavirus lockdown – and the banning of organised bonfires – will affect their normally busy workload. They soon find out as they are called out to a postbox fire and reports of a firework being pushed through the letterbox of a house in Leeds, where a terrified mother and her young daughter are inside. In another call-out, 100 firefighters and 17 fire engines are alerted to one of the biggest fires the county has seen in years – as 600,000 tyres catch fire and bring Bradford city centre to a halt with toxic fumes. cameras focus on the daily lives of people in this landscape of grassy moorland and remote reservoirs. There’s action too from the Brecon Mountain rescue team, which is training up rookies. The team heads out to pick up two snowboarders, stranded on South Wales’ highest peak, Pen y Fan. Elsewhere, farmers head to the hills to gather their sheep, while fifth generation farmer Flash welcomes his first lambs to the flock, and the park starts to return to a tranquil wilderness after lockdown.

It led them to suspect he was murdered but there was no body. This documentary has exclusive access to the Dyfed-Powys Police investigation, which began after Mr O’leary’s family received a text that was out of character. his truck was then found abandoned by a river four miles from his home in the village of nantgaredig, Carmarthenshire. Suspicion quickly fell on local builder andrew Jones after police discovered Mike was having an affair with his wife rhiannon. Yet with no body found during their investigation, proving a murder case against him would require resourceful policing. Using exclusive new and archive footage interwoven with interviews with family members and key officers, this documentary aims to provide a vivid insight into how police built their case against andrew Jones by scouring through CCTV footage, mobile phone data and forensic evidence.

Nic never at fault WE ARE used to our First Minister attempting to blame anyone but herself for any of her failings. She has, however, excelled herself this time by blaming journalists, opposition politicians and the electorate for “not being intelligent enough” to understand that when she says “will be given a vaccine by 26 July” what she meant was “offered” a vaccine. How are we to believe anything that Nicola Sturgeon says if she can determine that what she had said is not what she meant? Jane Lax, by email Letter of £50 the week Every Saturday we will pick the best letter received during the week and award a £50 prize. Please include your full name and address in order to be eligible. Anti-vax danger ALTHOUGH it is their choice not to get vaccinated, it is a dangerous path they are walking while putting the majority of the population at risk. These people are selfish and uncaring individuals with no respect for the brave doctors and nurses who have fought like hell to keep people alive and shown supreme dedication and sacrifice. I doubt if the anti-vaxxers have lost any family or friends through Covid. God won’t save them if they get get coronavirus but the vaccine will. Glen Peters, Paisley @dailyrecord YESTERDAY we told how two traumatised traders this week urged terrified passengers to run for their lives after Troon train station ticket office was “unmanned” and “left to burn”. Distraught hairdresser Claire McGhee and kiosk owner Pamela Main used their quick thinking to evacuate rail commuters from the burning station. Now union chiefs have called for an investigation into the station inferno. Many shared their thoughts on the story on our social media pages. Steven Murray Mcmillan wrote: “How did it start? Hopefully the public will be getting a brand new train station in the near future as people rely on this for work.” Alan Deans SKy VolTage thunder and lightning has swept nation Let’s get floody serious AFtER our worst spring in living memory and a rubbish June, we finally had some nice weather but now we’re getting thunder and lightning and floods. Anyone who thinks our planet isn’t in serious trouble caused by erratic weather systems needs to get their act together. Human behaviour dictates our weather. We need to use less technology, do less driving and flying because if we don’t our weather is going to get more erratic every year and we will reach the point where it will be irreversible. Alan Lough, East Lothian Hot to foxtrot AFTER watching the dressage in the Olympics I am pretty sure some of these impressive horses would win Strictly Come Dancing if they entered! Brian Thomson, by email commented: “The fire investigation report is going to make for interesting reading. Timber building, was there sprinklers?

BINGO GAME 19 11 28 36 39 61 63 26 3 69 51 Page 37 Texts FIRST Minister Nicola Sturgeon almost without fail creates her own problems by making sweeping statements in her speeches of what she is going to achieve and then blames the media and the opposition when she fails to achieve it. She can’t continue to fool the people by setting very high targets in her speeches and then blaming everyone else when she gets it all wrong. Dennis Grattan, Aberdeen THE people of Britain can only hope and pray that we have more friends than enemies because if we become a target there is little chance of us defending ourselves. Our spy in the sky fleet of E-3 Sentry Awacs are being made redundant this year and their replacement, the E-7 Wedgetail, will not be operational until 2023. This is a shocking overlap of ensuring our safety and security which means we will have to rely on ground based radar which will of course alert us to any incoming danger, but even then we will have nothing to fight it off as half of our warships fleet of 18 are out of action. It seems the country’s security is low down on the Conservative Government’s priority list. Tom Baxter, Stirlingshire SO NICOLA Sturgeon hints she’ll go against the advice of UK vaccine experts and extend vaccination to children over-12. Would such a decision be underpinned by clinical research - or is it another example of her seemingly relentless narrative: different from England. Martin Redfern, Roxburghshire Pray “IN the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul.” Psalm 94:19 DoubtS – about health, about friends, about the future. Serious doubts. but think of Moffatt’s rendering: “When doubts crowd into my mind, thy comforts cheer me.” Texts cost 50p plus standard network rates. Service Provider: Jmedia uK Limited, rh16 3eG.

The investor reward came as the banking giant released money it had set aside to cover loans it feared might turn sour. The lender will now pay an interim dividend of 2p per share, equivalent to around £340m, after the Bank of England scrapped payout curbs imposed at the start of the Covid pandemic. Barclays will also buy back £500m of its own shares as it forecast bad loan charges would remain below historical levels due to the improved economic outlook and fewer customers than expected missing loan repayments. However, it cautioned that the full impact of the winding down of Singapore’s sovereign 6 wealth fund has joined forces with the private equity-led consortium bidding £6.3billion to buy grocery chain Morrisons. The Singaporean GIC fund will take part via its Cambourne Life investment vehicle. Bosses at Morrisons have agreed a takeover led by investor Fortress, but its largest shareholder, Silchester International, called for more time for others to come forward. ftse 100 Abrdn.........................................283.9 +0.1 Anglo American .................. 3125.5 +53.0 AB Foods ...............................2042.0 0.0 Admiral Group ....................3352.0 -4.0 AstraZeneca ........................8266.0 +13.0 ..................................387.7 +1.7 BAE Systems...........................560.6 +7.2 B&M European .......................568.8 +10.6 ............................................2734.0 -36.5 Balfour Beatty .......................305.8 0.0 Barclays.....................................172.8 +3.4 BHP Group............................ 2323.5 +7.0 BR Land Co ...............................512.0 +5.2 BP.................................................291.8 +0.4 BT .................................................184.0 +1.3 Capita Group.............................35.8 +1.6 Carnival ..................................1486.8 +20.8 Centrica.......................................47.5 -0.6 Compass ................................1498.5 +14.5 Diageo ..................................... 3513.0 +33.0 Direct Line ...............................299.2 +1.3 Dixons Carphone...................128.9 +0.3 Easyjet ......................................888.8 +39.4 Ferguson.............................. 10130.0 -35.0 Frasers Group.........................601.0 +3.0 GlaxoSmithKline ..................1401.6 +2.4 Halfords....................................364.2 -3.4 Hays .............................................151.4 -0.2 HSBC ..........................................396.6 -6.7 Imperial Brands ..................1543.0 -9.5 International Airlines Grp ..181.9 +6.6 ITV ..................................................117.8 -1.6 JD Sports ..................................915.4 -4.0 Kingfisher ................................ 373.9 -0.9 Land Securities ......................701.0 +2.8 Legal & General .....................262.2 +1.9 Lloyds ...........................................46.8 +0.3 Marks & Spencer ....................141.9 +0.7 Morrison ...................................266.0 -0.1 National Grid ..........................929.9 -1.1 NatWest Group .......................201.5 -0.1 Next .........................................8038.0 -2.0 Ocado ......................................1855.5 +12.0 Pearson ....................................839.4 +2.2 Persimmon............................2877.0 +4.0 Prudential .............................1342.0 +5.5 Reckitt ......................................5519.0 -181.0 RELX ........................................2034.0 +5.0 Rentokil Initial ........................527.4 +3.8 Rio Tinto ..................................6127.0 +86.0 Rolls-Royce ...............................101.7 +3.4 Royal Dutch Shell B ...........1384.0 +5.2 Royal Mail ................................524.4 +4.8 J Sainsbury ..............................281.6 0.0 SSE ............................................ 1533.5 +6.5 Severn Trent .........................2755.0 +6.0 government support measures on customer finances was not yet fully known. “No one has really lived through the unwind of these schemes, and therefore we don’t entirely know how many furloughed people will get jobs or not,” said finance director Tushar Morzaria.

And that might have saved her life. During the recent prolonged, unbelievably hot spell, I struggled to exercise my rehomed Labrador to her enthusiastic satisfaction. Hosing her with cold water before we left for a wee wander worked well to keep her comfortable on the not-so-bad days but on the hottest – even early evening – the scorching tarmac on the cycle path was capable of blistering pads. And so, with the fields unavailable as they were full of cattle, we took to driving to a local pond where she would swim to retrieve dummies that I had lobbed into the water. She loved it. Though I guess the fish were none too happy. Then, luckily, I saw it. That unusual sheen and reflection that comes from water where there has been a bloom of toxic blue-green algae. The problem is caused by by neil mcintosh cyanobacteria, which contain dangerous toxins that can be lethal to dogs. It appears in relatively stagnant water as a brown and green coloured scum and can be swallowed by dogs when it clings to their coat and they lick themselves after swimming. I was mindful of a dog that died after swimming in June in Loch Awe. Blooms have also been reported at many locations throughout the Central Belt of Scotland. Clinical signs usually become apparent a few hours after exposure to the toxins and include vomiting, diarrhoea, salivation, disorientation, respiratory distress and seizures. Since there is no antidote (although prompt veterinary attention can improve the chances of survival), it is vital that affected water is avoided. Where you are concerned that your dog might have been exposed, flushing the coat with water and preventing grooming is really worthwhile. Better still, keep all dogs on a lead when you are near water until you have established whether it is safe or not. If in doubt, don’t let them swim. And help is at hand. Laurence Carvalho, of the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology reminded us of that, saying: “The public can play a crucial role in providing a rapid, early warning to pet owners about outbreaks of blue-green algae. “If people report sightings via the Bloomin’ Algae App with a photograph, we can quickly check if it is blue-green algae or something harmless, with correct and incorrect reports plotted on an interactive map in the app.” As for me and my dog, that’s just what we did. Then we went home for a nap. Hot. But safe and sound. ANGUS BRAIDWOOD & SON LtD 10 Castle Drive, Bankside Ind Est, Bainsford, Falkirk, FK2 7XQ 01324 634314 OPEN AS NORMAL AGAIN!

The seven-time world champion will lock horns with the english potter in the first round of the British open next month. Hendry is scheduled to play on the evening of Tuesday 17 August at the Morningside Arena in Leicester. The 51-year-old scot made a sensational return to the World snooker Tour last season. Hendry made a century break in his first match back against Matt selt and beat old foe Jimmy White in the first round of World Championship qualifying. The veteran has stated he will play in more events this season in a bid to sharpen up for another tilt at trying to return to the famous Crucible Theatre.

Welsh ace Preece had a short spell at Dundee during the abandoned 2019-20 season. stars boss omar Pacha said: “It is important to get a good back-up goaltender who can log minutes and maybe give a rest to our starter so Preecer is the perfect guy for us. “It is crucial to get guys who have played at this level before, that is why I wanted to add Toms.” SpringbokS hitman Lukhanyo Am has warned the Lions there are more missiles coming their way in Saturday’s second Test in Cape Town. Centre Am sent shockwaves around the stadium in last weekend’s opener when he smashed elliot Daly three minutes into the 22-17 defeat for the hosts with an exocet of a tackle. Daly, who is benched for the rematch, was taken man and ball by Am to set the physical tone for a first half that the Boks won 12-3 before the tourists rallied after the break.

The By aDaM HaTHaWay and around 16.5st, can look after himself – but Am warned him to watch out as the Boks hunt a series- levelling win. Am said: “It was the first Test of the series and the emotions were there. “That tackle was quite intentional, I wanted to set the standard, to show the step-up in physicality we were going to impose from minute one to minute 80. “We have always had this great defensive mindset and it is something we are very proud of. This weekend we want another physical battle. “There are games where things go well and there are some where things can and will go pear-shaped because of a wide variety of reasons. As a league was launched in November 2019 as a part-time professional competition to bridge the gap between the amateur and elite games. The first season was cut short last March before the play-off stage due to Covid and it has been in cold storage since then. Sean Lineen, Scottish Rugby’s ‘On-Field Lead’ for the league, admits getting Super6 up and team, we’ve been backed into a corner and we know we have to win in order to keep the series alive.” The Boks were spitting about a couple of disallowed tries they had and clearly suffered due to a lack of high-level rugby in the past 18 months. They had played only one Test, against Georgia, and their run-in to the first Lions game was disrupted by Covid with skipper siya kolisi and wing Makazole Mapimpi forced into isolation. But Am, 27, who captained south Africa A to a 17-13 win over the Lions, says the Boks must land a knockout after blowing out in the first Test. He added: “The World Cup was the last big tournament we played in and because of unfortunate Covid-19- related running has been a challenge but has backed all the teams to help players blossom. He said: “It’s a first season really and there will be mistakes but I’d like to think there will be an exciting brand of rugby. “We don’t want them all to play the same way – the coaches will all have their own way of playing – but we’ve never had summer rugby before so this is a Boks hitman warns they’re ready for another battle cRUNcH TiMe Daly is tackled by Am, right, who says Boks are out to even the score matters, Test matches were few and far between. “We weren’t playing rugby so our only frame of reference was the World Cup because that’s the only thing we had. “We knew how important the prep was but unfortunately it got disrupted and we thought it would bite us towards the end of the game. “It was just unfortunate we didn’t convert the opportunities we had.

The twice Wimbledon champion’s bid for a fourth medal ended in narrow defeat against Croatian pair Marin Cilic and Ivan Dodig – and the Brits blew it after leading by a set and a break. Murray admitted the decisive tie-break was a painful way to bow out but has turned his attention towards next month’s US Open, where he expects to be fit after withdrawing from the Tokyo 2020 singles draw because of a slight thigh strain. The only tennis player to win back-to-back gold medals – plus a silver with Laura Robson in the mixed doubles nine years ago – will be 37 by the time the Paris 2024 Games come round. Murray said: “I don’t know if I’ll get the opportunity to play again. I’ve loved every minute of playing in the Olympics. I wish it could have gone differently here. “I had another chance with Joe to win a medal, we were so close, and that’s what’s disappointing. “I hate losing and I wanted to win another medal with Joe.” Murray will now head home for more rest and recovery but is hopeful of being fit for the US Open, starting on August 30. He said: “I’ll see how the injury heals. That’s what will dictate it. I’m not going to rush something if it’s not there. My team think that I should be OK.” ● Liam Broady’s three-set defeat by Jeremy Chardy of France ended British interest in the Tokyo 2020 tennis competition.

Golden boys of the 4x200 freestyle relay in six minutes 58.58 seconds, the Brits bagged a European record to boot. “A great moment,” said Scott. His fourth Olympic medal in total. But someone else – the Americans 12 years ago – had gone a fraction quicker and he couldn’t help but ask why. He said: “I’m still a little bit gutted with it. There’s not many occasions you’re going to be 0.03 seconds off the world record. “I don’t even know what that is. I put my head down one stroke early or something? “That’s just being picky.

I trained through the week and when you are not playing on a Saturday it’s not enjoyable” HoMeToWN RUN Gavin Rae in action for Aberdeen in 2013 Brown’s leadership will help Lewis net more Dons goals SCOTT bROWN is slipping into top gear at Aberdeen and that could allow Lewis Ferguson to release his Dons handbrake this season, according to former Pittodrie ace Gavin Rae. The Red Army were given a tantalising first taste of their new midfield combo during last week’s 5-1 hammering of bK Hacken. Ferguson opened his account for the season with a double as he carried on from last season’s impressive form in front of goal, which brought 10 strikes from his slot in the centre of the pitch. but Rae – who spent 18 months with his hometown club after joining the Dons in the winter of 2012 – reckons Fergie should be aiming to top that figure now he has brown alongside him to watch the shop while he charges forward. Rae said: “It’s pretty clear they’ve made a lot of changes and a lot of signings this summer, with Stephen Glass totally changing the team around. “bringing in someone with the leadership skills of Scott brown and making him captain can only help the side, given he has so much by aNDy NeWPoRT experience. The first game they played in Europe the other night ended with a very good result so the outlook will be positive at Pittodrie right now. “It looks like the signing of brown has lifted everyone in terms of having that real leader in there. “He will allow other people to do their job and play to their strengths and certainly Lewis Ferguson seems to be enjoying that so far. Lewis is a top player with a lot in his locker. “It looks like having Scott beside him will allow Lewis to unleash himself a bit and get further forward more often. “Goalscoring midfielders are gold dust and if he continue adding goals – which he was obviously doing last term – and get even more this season then it bodes well for Aberdeen and Lewis personally. “He’s still young and has played a lot of games now which is great. If he can add even more goals to his game then that will be great for everyone.” Adam celebrates making it 2-0 during play-off final against Kilmarnock

MoRe aT DailyRecoRD.co.UK CHARLIE Daily RecoRD Thursday, July 29, 2021 VETERAN READY TO SHINE IN PREMIERSHIP Rae on Adam: I remember playing and training together at Ibrox and he was a fit and athletic boy... couple that with his technique and you can see why he has gone on to have career he has and why he’s still playing at 35 GAVIN RAE’S abiding memory of the young Charlie Adam was his constant cocky attempts at scoring from the halfway line. Audacious long-range efforts have become something of a trademark for the Dundee skipper. But it was his ability to go the distance on the training field which old Rangers team-mate Rae believes has been key to his recent role in the Dark Blues’ resurgence. Adam’s always been a maverick with an appetite for the unconventional. He famously netted a 50-yard stunner for Stoke at Stamford Bridge during a Premier League clash back in 2015. That wasn’t his first successful attempt from long-range, having pulled off a similar trick 11 years earlier at St Mirren’s old Love Street home while a young pup at Ibrox out on loan at Ross County. That hunger hasn’t diminished any now the former Blackpool, Liverpool and Scotland midfielder has reached the back end of his career. It was only a couple of months ago that the 35-year-old was given a rollicking from Dens boss James McPake for rolling out his party trick yet again – this time shanking horribly wide during a tense moment in the play-off victory over Kilmarnock which sealed their top-flight return. But Rae – who himself served the Dees over three spells – has a shock in store for the opposition fans who have hurled cruel jibes about Adam’s weight and conditioning down the years. Adam has had to put up with the taunts since his early days but Rae says appearances are deceiving when it comes to his old midfield sidekick. The legs may have slowed a little now but Rae insists Adam has never lacked lungs. And he reckons the stamina levels which regularly saw the then Gers youngster outrun a list of high-profile names at their Auchenhowie training base are the major reason why his range of passing remains as sharp as ever now he’s back at his hometown club. Speaking to Record Sport, Rae said: “Charlie was breaking through at Rangers when I was at the club and gallUS Rae, Adam and Steven Smith training with Rangers in ‘06 and, right, Adam nets his stunning 50-yard strike for Stoke BY aNDy NewPoRT player. He has played so many games at the top, top level and it’s good to see him back at the top level in Scotland now. “He got the Championship Player of the Year award and you could see his influence rubbing off on the younger guys around him at Dundee. “He got an amazing reaction from everyone at the club and the fans when he went back up there and the younger players will take so much from being able to play alongside someone like him. He’s still top quality.” Rae now lives in Australia having bowed out after his third spell with Dundee ended in the club’s 2014 Championship triumph. The 43-year-old, who also won a First Division winners’ medal in 1998, is settled Down Under, where he mixes his day job as a we played lots of games together. I always remember him trying to score from the halfway line almost every game he played. That was standard Charlie. “To be fair he’s proved it a few times that he’s got it in his locker. “He had unbelievable ability when he was coming through at Ibrox. “But the thing that really sticks out in my mind was that he was a very fit and athletic boy. He was a machine. “I know some people might not believe this but when I was doing pre-season with Charlie at Rangers, he was miles in front of everyone else at times. When you couple that fitness with his technique then you can see why he’s gone on to have the career he has and why he’s still playing at the top level he’s back to now at 35. “You can’t do that without being an athlete. “It’s great to see him still playing for the club he supported as a kid. I know how much Dundee means to him and that shines through in the effort he puts in when he pulls on that dark blue jersey. “He is still influential t o o because he’s a top I remember him trying to score from the halfway line almost every game he played GAVIN RAe on charlie adam’s bid for the spectacular DowN UNDeR Rae lives in Oz business consultant with coaching Aussie part-timers Hakoah Sydney City East. But he hopes his old side can now find an even keel themselves after years of yo-yoing between Scotland’s top two divisions. He said: “I’m delighted to see Dundee back up there. It’s where the club belongs. Dundee are a big club and should be up there. “It’s challenging to do that year after year but it’s brilliant to see the club back in the Premiership. “It looks like it’s going to be a really strong league this year with all the top teams back in and lots of derbies. “Hopefully it should be a really exciting year for Scottish football. “I’m just buzzing for all the boys at Dens that they will be back involved. “It would be ideal if the club could find that stability and have a real prolonged run in the top flight. “But it’s easy to say that – it’s harder to do in reality. The Premiership is a very challenging league and there are no easy games. “It’s tough to transform yourself into one of those clubs who become a permanent fixture who stay up for years on end. “But hopefully they can build on what they achieved this season through the play-offs and find that solid foundation that allows them to stabilise going forward.” iNJURy STUggleS Katic Page 49 Missing out will fuel fire within Katic BY aNDy NewPoRT GAVIN RAE expects Niko Katic to use the pain of sitting out Rangers’ title march to fuel his bid to force his way back into Steven Gerrard’s line-up. The Croatian ace missed the whole of last year with a serious knee injury and was a bystander as Gerrard’s Invincibles stormed to the club’s first title in a decade. It’s a situation ex-Ibrox ace Rae can empathise with after his own two-year injury hell robbed him of the chance to play a part in the Light Blues’ 2005 title win and its famous Helicopter Sunday climax. Katic is now back on his feet and made his first 45-minute appearance of pre-season in Saturday’s draw with Brighton. Gerrard has urged the Light Blues faithful to be patient but Rae reckons Katic will be fired up for his comeback as he chases a winners’ medal of his own. Rae said: “Missing out on a campaign like that is tough – super frustrating. “You’re desperate to be involved but instead you’re sitting out on the fringes doing your rehab. You’re pleased for you team-mates to see them going for a title but I admit you don’t feel 100 per cent part of it. “It was good to see those scenes at Easter Road from inside the camp and getting a taste of the celebrations is something you’ll never forget. I’m sure this is something Katic will have found, you feel like you’re on the outside looking in. It’s a strange feeling. “Right now, Niko’s main goal will be to make sure he can get back playing to the highest level he can. “But having had that small taste of success from a distance is definitely something you want to get back to so I’m sure that will drive him on this season.” Rae now lives in Australia but felt the shock waves of Sunday’s impressive friendly win over Real Madrid all the way Down Under. He said: “I saw highlights, it was a very good result. It’ll do wonders for confidence.”

Page 50 MoRe aT DailyRecoRD.co.UK Daily RecoRD Thursday, July 29, 2021 yoUR voice oF THe JaMboS eveRy weeK iN RecoRD SPoRT RyaN STeveNSoN I’m going to get a bit of a backlash from Celtic fans for saying this but this is a good time for Hearts to be playing them. The transition they’re in just now is massive and i don’t think it’s going to be a quick fix. so from a Hearts point of view, if there was ever a good time to play them, it would be now. The Jambos have been ticking along nicely as well so the circumstances are about as good as they could hope for. Having said that, i’ve had pre-seasons when we were amazing then got pumped on the first day of the campaign. i’ve also had horrendous pre-seasons then started well. i’m sure we got a 4-0 doing from Celtic at Parkhead on the opening day one year. The last teams you want to get on the first day of the season are Rangers or Celtic – usually. if you got Rangers this year you’d be thinking ‘aw naw’ because you’d want the best start possible, especially with Hearts being promoted. but with things the way they Last team you’d want to face on the opening day is Celtic..but not this year Jambos have great chance for super start are at Celtic, it’s maybe not as bad. For Hearts to get a positive result would be a big statement. straight away they’d have three points on the board and can hopefully kick on. Having those fans back in could make a huge difference. it might only be 4500 but it’s a hell of a lot better than nothing. Just having punters back in Tynecastle, the difference that could make to performance levels is frightening. You’re talking 50 or 60 per cent. even when we’d go to places like st Johnstone we’d have more fans in the away end than they had. The way they push the team on is massive and i’d expect a big response with them back in. even just seeing them there is amazing. i was overly critical of Hearts last year and their performances without the fans there but they can take you to a level you probably wouldn’t be able to reach otherwise. When i left Tynecastle, i went down the way and a lot of that was to do with the sheer buzz of playing for Hearts home and away. i know how much of a drug it is playing in front of those fans. The other bonus is there won’t be a big, noisy away end. Any time we played the old Firm or Hibs at Tynecastle, you’d come out and that away end was packed to the rafters. With the other three full, it was electric. Ask any players the best place to go outside of ibrox and Parkhead is, they all say Tynecastle. That won’t be the case this weekend but having all the noise from the Hearts fans can only help. i’ve been impressed with young Finlay Pollock’s start to the new campaign. You always get one or two every pre-season who come in and do well. i had it myself when i came back up the road to gRoUP HUg Hearts missed seeded spot in League Cup and next face Celts HaMMeRiNg Callum McGregor and kid Dane Murray suffer in friendly mauling by West Ham st Johnstone. As a young kid, you’ve got the buzz of preseason, you’re in the first team and get a sniff of games. There’s no pressure, you can go and show what you can do. it’s about putting him in and taking him out at the right times and Robbie Neilson will know that. This is what Hearts should have – kids coming through who excite people so you think, “He’s got a right chance.” The club needs to get into a rhythm of bringing these boys through season after season. Homegrown players have a massive connection with the club and the fans. if they go on to bigger and better things, great. Robbie hasn’t panic-bought because he knows he has young players who can come in and play in the first team. Whether saturday is the right time to throw Pollock in, i’m not so sure. if there’s an opportunity to bring him on, do it. but coming back into the Premiership and playing against Celtic, i’d be going with my strongest and most experienced team to try to get a good result. iN THe FRaMe Baningime Neilson still ‘hopeful’ as Hearts step up Beni bid by alaN MaRSHall Robbie NeilsoN hopes to add another new signing before saturday’s clash with Celtic after Hearts stepped up their interest in everton midfielder beni baningime. The Tynecastle side are thought to have made contact with the player, who still has a year to run on his Toffees contract, with a view to landing him on a permanent deal. baningime, 22, was not part of Rafa benitez’s firstteam squad trip to Florida as he weighs up his future. The everton academy graduate made his debut for the Goodison Park side in october 2017, featuring 12 times that season. baningime has since played mainly for their Under-23s and made three appearances in loan spells at Wigan and Derby in the previous two seasons. Neilson, who has already signed brighton defender Alex Cochrane on loan and made Josh Ginnelly and Ross stewart’s temporary deals permanent, admits work is going on behind the scenes to bolster the squad. He said: “We’ve still got a number of positions we’d like to strengthen and we’re working on it just now. “We’re hoping to get something done soon but again it’s about bringing quality into the squad to make sure we push on. “Hopefully (we sign one in time for saturday) but it’s one we’ve been working on for a wee while now. “it’s about bringing guys in that we hope to develop and we’re looking at a certain age group. but we also need to leave pathways for the younger ones. “We’ve got some really good academy players coming through, we have young Finlay Pollock who has come in recently, and it’s important they get their game as well.” iT’S big PRiMe cHaRlie PAGES 48&49

DAily REcoRD RD Thursday, July 29, 2021 RANGERS MoRE AT DAilyREcoRD.co.Uk EURO COUNTDOWN PAGE 51 by GoRDon PARkS MALMO skipper Anders Christiansen rates Rangers amongst the best in Britain but doesn’t believe his team face a Champions League mission impossible against the Ibrox side. The Danish midfielder admits they’ll be underdogs after setting up the third round qualifier thanks to Tuesday night’s 2-2 draw in Finland against HJK Helsinki, which sealed a 4-3 aggregate win. It will be a rerun of a meeting between the two clubs a decade ago which saw Malmo progress with a 2-1 aggregate win which included an infamous second leg in Sweden. Rangers were reduced to nine men as Steven Whittaker and Madjid Bougherra were sent off for Ally McCoist’s side while Malmo also had Ferreira Ricardinho red-carded. Christiansen is convinced the Ibrox side present a far sterner challenge this time around and the 31-year-old also concedes he’s not well briefed on the finer details of a Gers squad led by footballing household name Steven Gerrard. He said: “Of course Rangers are favourites. “I do not know much about their team at all, I only know Gerrard is their manager. “But they play in a better league and they have more money than us so in every way they are clear favourites to go through. “It will be exciting to compete with the champions of Scotland. “They beat Celtic last season by quite a few points and it will be good to play against one of the best teams in Britain. “We have great respect for Rangers and will start analysing them immediately.” Swedish international defender Franz Brorsson is adamant Malmo’s underdog status can play into their hands as he predicted a Champions League tie which is too close to call. He THRILLED TO BRITS Christiansen: We can’t wait to face Gerrard and one of the best teams in the UK FAME GAME Malmo are in awe of Gerrard by MARk PiRiE media speculation about my position. I don’t welcome it, I don’t add to it. “All I do is focus on the job I have here and I’m very flattered and grateful for the position. “I’m very happy here and I’ve said that on numerous occasions. “It’s a huge club, I’m settled, I’m happy and I can continue to develop and keep trying to push said: “Rangers probably have an even better team than the one they had 10 years ago but nothing is impossible. “I just hope the fans are in both stadiums so we get a really good atmosphere. “It’s an extremely tough match and we are underdogs. I don’t think many people will think we can win but I think it will be two close games.” Rangers will travel to Sweden for the first leg, which is scheduled to be played on August 4. Malmo defender Anel Ahmedhodzic is relishing this team forward.” Gerrard insists he is loving working in the pressure cooker of Scottish football and welcomes the demands from supporters to win every week. He told ESPN: “It depends how you look at that pressure. “you can either shrink at the thought of it and let it weigh you down, or you can see it as a challenge, put your shoulders SWEDE DREAM Christiansen, right, and boss Tomasson are gearing up to face Rangers what he believes will be a physical challenge against the Scottish champions. The Bosnian international may be anticipating a meaty encounter in this clash. But he also hinted that his side will settle for the consolation of a Europa League or Europa Conference League spot after the win over HJK Helsinki guaranteed them a prolonged stay in Europe this season. He said: “I know that they are tough and that it will be a very hard-tackling match. “It will be a physical game. It STEVEn noT cAUGHT UP in koP cHASE STEvEN GErrArd has again rubbished talk of him going back to Liverpool as manager. Speculation was rife he could succeed Jurgen Klopp as the reds mounted a miserable Premier League title defence. Gerrard was also linked with Everton and Tottenham but insists he is only focussing on defending the Premiership title next term. He said: “I can’t control any back and try to embrace it. It is something that you want and demand for yourself. “I would always want to find myself in a position where the pressure and responsibility is big. “It means you are in a top job and that, if you are good enough to win in that position, the feeling and the experience can be up there with the best things that ever happen to you.” will be fun to play in too. What will it be, nine, 10 matches in Europe, at least? “It’s fun for us to play in. It will be two or three matches a week for us. It’s damn nice.” Best known to fans in Scotland as the side who put seven past Hibs in 2013, Malmo are no strangers to Scottish opposition in Europe. They’ve faced both Celtic and Rangers in the relatively recent past and have history on their side with that elimination of Gers in 2011/12 followed by a 4-3 aggregate win over the Hoops four years later. TiTlE lETDoWn Klopp qUiT cAll Jack Grealish gers on Mccann alert FRoM BAck PAGE McCann’s growing reputation at United and has monitored the teenager’s progress. Now he’s keen to add him to the Premiership title holders’ squad before the new season commences this weekend. Coventry-born McCann joined the Old Trafford club three years ago from Coventry City for a nominal fee. Rangers will have to pay United a fee for McCann who still has 12 months of his deal to run. He has represented England at Under-16 level before switching to Ireland for whom he played at the 2019 UEFA Under-19 Championship finals. McCann boasts midfield EnGlAnD SWiTcH Rice versatility that allows him to operate in a deep role while also offering support to the attack. And his goal tally improved last season when on Under-23 duty. McCann’s decision to switch allegiance to the Boys In Green three years ago was regarded as a coup for Colin O’Brien and his squad. It came after Jack Grealish had opted to quit Ireland in 2015 to play for the England Under 21 side. That was during a period when Declan Rice – capped three times at senior level – had placed his Ireland career on hold while he considered Gareth Southgate’s offer to link up with the Three Lions.

Daily RecoRD Thursday, July 29, 2021 CoLomA v HIbs KEEP THE HEID HIBS Ross warns staying cool is vital to survive rough clash ANDORRA only have two athletes competing at the Olympics with a runner and a canoeist making up the numbers in Tokyo. But after the Battle of Easter Road last week it seems they have kept the hammer throwers back for their Europa Conference League representatives. Hibs face round two in the tiny Principality this evening and boss Jack Ross has urged his young side to keep the head even if the tackles start flying in again. There were a few scares in the Leith side’s 3-0 first-leg win seven days ago after Joe Newell’s bizarre red card left them with 10 men and facing a side who some kindly described as physical, while Record Sport columnist Tam McManus labelled them a “pub team” out to kick lumps out of Hibs. Ross was far more diplomatic when it came to discussing their rivals but he does want his side to be by Michael Gannon streetwise with whatever comes their way this evening. He said: “I’m never overly concerned about physicality with regards tackles because it’s part and parcel of the game. “It is when you lose focus because of that, which we did a little bit last week, and it is important for us to learn. “Irrespective of how the game goes, it is important that we retain our composure while still being physical, aggressive and competitive, which you need when playing. “It’s more about our response to the contact because there will be contact in football matches all the time and we encourage players to do that. But they can’t be sucked in and how they react is important. “It’s about staying calm. We have a young squad and a relatively inexperienced side in terms of European football. “Any experience educates you. The experience of last MoRe aT DailyRecoRD.co.UK TONIGHT, 5.30pm week will stand us in good stead. The players are more comfortable and will know what to expect in all aspects of the game. “They weren’t overly physical in their game in the first round but it was a step up in standard. “It wasn’t something we thought would be the case but you need to adapt and we got there eventually. We’ll need to do that again.” Icelandic ref Vilhjalmur Thorarinsson had a howler in the first leg and Hibs face another whistler with a reputation for treating cards like confetti in Faroe Islands official Alex Troleis. Ross said: “Our disciplinary record was good last season domestically and I think that helps you. We’ve seen how easily you can get yourself into trouble last week with Joe’s red card. “Having a taste of European football last week and everything that goes with it was brilliant. It was exciting and we enjoyed the challenge. Even in the build-up they’re looking forward to it. “I don’t think it just applies to European football. It’s about having the belief and trust in what you do. We earned the right to do that with how we progressed last season. “When you go behind in a game or face adversity, like losing a player, the reaction is important. “We lost our way for a little bit but we managed to regroup and that was the biggest learning aspect of it. “European football has different challenges and different interpretations of the laws with the officials, so that was a new experience for the players.” Hibs have one foot in the next round, where Croatian side Rijeka are likely to await. But Ross doesn’t want his men to look beyond taking care of business against Santa Coloma and he won’t get the cotton wool out despite expecting some tasty tackles. He said: “We want to win the game. Irrespective of the first leg. We want to keep that momentum. “At this early stage, players are still building up to their complete match fitness so it’s beneficial for them to continue to get minutes. “Equally we’ve got some who could do with more time on the pitch ahead of the busy schedule which has hopefully more European, league and cup games. “We’ll find a balance. It’s no different to any competition, we want to be as successful as we can in it. It’s a big step being back on this stage but we don’t view it like tourists.” Suspended Newell was forced to remain in Scotland but Ross does have Christian Doidge and Josh Doig back on board, along with veteran Jamie Murphy. haS GoGic DReaMinG of a woRlD cUP ShocK by Michael Gannon Conference League qualifier against Santa Coloma. Gogic wants to complete the job on the back of last week’s 3-0 win in the capital and keep his Qatar dream on track. When asked about his cap call, he said: “It’s a dream come true for me, I really enjoy it. “Maybe I haven’t had as much time as I would want but I am slowly working on that and when the manager trusts me more I’ll get more game time. “That’s down to me impressing here at Hibs and also when he gives me more time with the national team. “I’ll keep trying to impress him and do what he wants me to do. We’re a small country but we have good players and we can do well in the games in September – and maybe make it to Qatar. “Greece won the Euros, so it’s possible!” Gogic also has an optimistic view about his club’s chances in Europe. He said: “It’s like European football with Hibs, you play against different opposition and players. Every country has their own tactics, every team has their own type of player, so it’s good to pit yourself against the best and see how good you are. “We want to go as far as we can. It’s a nice experience for me and I hope we can go a long way. “Every player wants to have that experience, it’s one of their targets – I know it is mine and I’m enjoying it.” Gogic knows the Hibees can’t afford to get dragged in to another battle like last week though.

Page 54 MoRe aT DailyRecoRD.co.UK Daily RecoRD Thursday, July 29, 2021 MIdweek Mr Fixit BK tonight but no way Hack in tie IT’S all about avoiding disastrous collapses for Aberdeen and Hibs in the Europa Conference qualifiers tonight. Both teams have one foot in the next round after the Dons thumped Hacken 5-1 at Pittodrie and the Easter Road men defeated Santa Coloma 3-0 in Leith. I tipped Stephen Glass’ new-look side to beat the Swedes in that first leg but was blown away by the manner of their victory. Smashing five past a decent side has shown that the goalscoring problems of last season are now a thing of the past with new boys Christian Ramirez and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas impressing. It would take a nightmare display for Aberdeen to crash out and Hacken are 18/1 outsiders at McBookie to turn this tie around. The Swedes look decent value for a victory on the star bet Hacken have to fly out the traps in a bid to salvage their Euro hopes and over 1.5 firsthalf goals pays 13/8. bK HaCKeN v aberDeeN we’re ramjet propelled McCrorie pinpoints strike partnership as force that is pushing Dons on for season of optimism they have ahead Don To bUsiness Ross McCrorie is gearing up for Aberdeen’s second leg tonight and claims their new gaffer’s ideas are working night at 6/5 with the same firm but it’s hard to see a win by a four-goal margin. Hacken will need to go for it and leave gaps at the back so both teams to score stands a chance, although the odds aren’t great at 8/11 with McBookie. Hibs probably would have beaten Coloma by more in the first leg had a ropey ref not red-carded Joe Newell. But I’d be surprised if we saw a lot of goals on the plastic pitch in Andorra. Since losing 4-1 there to Basel in 2009, nobody has dished out a beating to Santa Coloma at home. Seven of their last nine in Europe have seen under 2.5 goals and a repeat pays 13/10 at McBookie. But I’m more drawn to betting against BTTS (evens, BoyleSports). Hibs to be winning at half-time and full-time is 11/10 with the same firm. Super Singles Hacken to win on night (6/5, McBookie) BTTS no in Santa Coloma v Hibs (Evs, BoyleSports) ROSS McCRORie insists Aberdeen’s 5-1 thrashing of BK Hacken was no flash in the pan and more of a statement of intent for the season ahead. The Dons will look to see out the second leg of their Europa Conference League clash in the Bravida Stadium this evening. Stephen Glass’ new-look side was unveiled last week and they went goal crazy in the first leg against the Swedes. Aberdeen were criticised for a lack of firepower last season and that eventually led to Derek McInnes’ departure and Glass coming in. The new boss has brought in strikers Christian Ramirez and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas to add to his attacking arsenal. And McCrorie has revealed the new management team has worked tirelessly to ensure the By scoTT bURns Dons have come into the new campaign with a cutting edge. Asked about the free-scoring first-leg display, McCrorie said: “I wouldn’t say I was surprised. “We’ve worked extremely hard throughout pre-season, especially on the attacking side of things, to try to get more goals. “As you saw in the game the other night, the combination play up front was great and even some of the individual bits of quality were fantastic. “It just goes down to all the hard work we have done in pre-season and you’re starting to see the fruits of it. “That was clear for everyone last term, that we had to score more goals. “We had a six-game run ReD hoT Emmanuel-Thomas and Ramirez have started well where we didn’t score so it was clear for everyone that we had to improve on the attacking side of the game. “We’ve obviously done that to start with in the first game but we have to keep that going throughout the season. Hopefully we can do that.” Aberdeen’s new RamJET strikeforce h a s already made an instant impact on the Red Army and even their team-mates. McCrorie said: “We’ve brought in a lot of players. We’ve tweaked a few things in the system and it was all credit to big JET and Christian up top the other night. They gave u s that base to hold up the play and that’s something we maybe never had last year, that hold-up play to try to get us up the pitch. “The two boys up top were terrific the other night. “I played against JET last year when he was at Livingston and he’s a top-quality player. “It’s the same with Chris. You see wee bits in training. “His finishing is brilliant and long may it continue into the season.” Many people believe this tie is already over and the Dons can turn their attention to facing the winner of the Breidablik and Austria Vienna clash. But gaffer Glass won’t allow his players to b e c o m e compla- cent. The manager

The Dons might be 5-1 up but Glass is adamant his players know they still have work to do in Gothenburg if they want to progress to the next round. Aberdeen kick off their league campaign at home to Dundee United on Sunday but their manager stressed the won’t be focusing on that Premiership opener until they see out tonight’s clash in the Bravida Arena. Pittodrie gaffer Glass said: “It’s important we get through this game with no mistakes. “We have to get through this match. I’ll pick a team for this game and if situations arise and we feel we’re really, really comfortable then you can start to change things ahead of Sunday. “But the No.1 priority is Hacken Page 55 Hotline DaviD MccaRTHy aNSWeRS yoUR callS RANGERS fans were in a chirpy mood on the other end of the Hotline as they continued to look forward to the new season with kick-off looming on Saturday. chris lowe, yoker, got the ball rolling with this tongue-in-cheek reference to the sale of Celtic’s Kris Ajer to Brentford, saying: “Best wishes to George Edmundson on his new venture at Ipswich. “The £13.5million Rangers got for him, or as it’s known across the city as ‘undisclosed fee’, was a fantastic piece of business for the club.” alfie Mullin, london, said: “Gordon Fergusson says Rangers will win a two-horse race, in the new season. I disagree, I feel they’ll be in a one-horse race. I also believe that the usual detractors will be saying it’s a tainted title as Celtic were not in it, except in name only.” Joe Smith, coleraine, said: “I’ll take a 2-1 win over Real Madrid over a 6-2 mauling from West Ham any day of the week. It boosts confidence going into the new season.” Stephen Johnstone, ardentinny, said: “Rangers played with Fashion and came up with the real deal against Madrid. Looking at Celtic’s shambolic display against West Ham, Rangers will win the league at a canter and go far in all competitions, leaving Celtic fighting for survival.” But Hoops fan Bud Hay, Dumfries, doesn’t go along with that and said: “So far they have only won two friendlies. Let’s just hope they don’t meet the two teams that start with St in their names. For those saying they’ll win the league easily, empty barrels make the most sound.” John corbett said: “Is Gordon Ashley OK? Gone quote of tHe day ‘The £13.5million Rangers got for Edmundson, or as it’s known across the city as ‘undisclosed fee’, was a fantastic piece of business for the club’ and his backroom team of Allan Russell, Henry Apaloo and player-coach Scott Brown have made an immediate impact. The former Rangers youngster said: “The gaffer, Allan, Henry and Broony have come in and been a breath of fresh air. “They have implemented their ideas and you can see that in the first game. “It paid off and hopefully that continues. “I’ve enjoyed my time so far in pre-season and now we want the best start possible to the new season.” McCrorie is adamant the travelling squad know the job is only half done and BK Hacken will get total respect. The former Scotland Under-21 cap said: “We’ve got massive respect for our opponents. They wouldn’t be in Europe if they weren’t a good team and they’ve got quality within their side. “We saw that the other night with little bits of play they had. They’ve got good quality players within their set up. “We’ll go in aiming for a clean sheet and treat it as a clean slate. “We want to score as many goals as we can again and get off to a good start but the main aim is just to get through into the next round.” McCrorie has played in a variety of positions in his career and last week he was employed as a central defender, alongside Andrew Considine, with new signing Declan Gallagher serving a European suspension. Glass sees McCrorie as a defender but the man himself is happy to play anywhere just to help the team. The 23-year-old said: “I’ve played centre back a lot. “When I was at Rangers, I played at centre back on several occasions. “Last season at times I dropped into centre back so it’s a position that I’m very familiar with and know well. “I just want to play wherever I can help the team and make the team as successful as it can be.” McCrorie is looking to help Aberdeen do as well as they can domestically and in Europe. But the Dons star knows it is about steady steps and won’t be making sweeping predictions for the season. He said: “I don’t really want to get into that. We have just got to focus on ourselves. “We don’t want to be looking at people outside us. “We will focus on ourselves and take each game as it comes and be the best we can be. “I believe that will take us far this season.” fUll focUS Dons manager Glass and that’s the way we approach it.” Hacken haven’t given up and experienced coach Per-Mathias Hogmo will be lookng to spring a miracle comeback. But Reds boss Glass is desperate to crush any resistance. Glass said: “After the first game their manager said he felt like it was still alive. It did feel like that was his suggestion. I imagine they’ll come at it in the first 10, 15, 20 minutes and see what happens. “If they can score a goal or two, they’ll think they’ve got a chance so it’s up to us to make sure we can look after both ends of the pitch. “We know we can put it to bed pretty quickly if we score a goal or two but we also know we can come under some pressure if we allow them to dictate the game. “We’ll approach the match the same way we approached the first one – trying to win it.” Aberdeen head on to BK Hacken’s artificial pitch but Glass reckons that won’t be an issue. He said: “Not at all. The fact it’s going to be quite wet as well helps. “They’re a good footballing team so they’ll want the pitch the same as we do. I’ve no concerns.” Aberdeen are without the injured Dean Campbell but Declan Gallagher returns from a ban. very quiet lately apart from his usual rants about quadruples, trebles and double doubles. No word on the Duffy-Barkas shambles, the decent players deserting the sinking ship, anonymous manager and one bad signing after another, never mind the bombscares that are Barkas, Ralston and Bitton. There’s a treble to start with!” And right on cue, who should appear but gordon ashley, ayr, who said: “None of the back four or goalkeeper who started against West Ham will be in the first team in a couple of weeks. Other than the inexperienced backline, Celtic played great football and made many chances against a top, battle hardened Premier League team. “Unlike the third-choice Real Madrid team, who were thrown together at the last minute.” gerry Milligan, erskine, isn’t as happy with the Hoops and said: “Why are Celtic dithering again when James McCarthy is still available, is only 30 and a perfect replacement for Scott Brown? “The boy is a Celtic fan and that always helps and surely we could tempt Jack Butland north. We must replace Ronnie Barkas.” Davy cook, edinburgh, said: “Celtic and Rangers don’t just run Scottish football, they seem to run local councils now, being allowed so many fans into their stadiums. One rule for the big boys and one for the rest of us. Unhappy Jambo.” And finally, Jim Mcclean, Rothesay, disagrees with comments made by Hearts No.2 Lee McCulloch. He said: “Lee is still talking the same rubbish he did when he was at Killie. He says Hearts are returning to one of the toughest leagues in Europe. “What are Hearts feeding him on? It’s been a two-horse race between Rangers and Celtic for donkey’s years and always will be.” HAVE YOUR SAY ON THE BIGGEST ISSUES IN SPORT AND EMAIL: hotline@dailyrecord.co.uk

The Aussie is adamant the damaging defeat in Denmark which sent his under-strength squad out of the Champions League has not heightened his anxiety over the task he faces. Postecoglou always knew he was undertaking a huge renovation job and the misery against Midtjylland has not altered that view. Asked if it was now a bigger job than he thought in the aftermath of the extra-time exit, he said: “No, not really. I knew it was a challenge. I just had to look at the difference in the player list from last season to this season. It was quite obvious. “But it was an opportunity for me because at least I could bring in the players I want. So I wasn’t thinking I’d come in and would just need to tinker with things. I knew we needed to rebuild things but that’s where I saw the opportunity. “I need to shoulder into the wheel a bit further and make sure things get done so we can begin this process of getting this club back to where it should be.” Postecoglou needs reinforcements Ange claims he’s still up for task as Celtic reign suffers first blow by cRaig SWaN and is adamant the Champions League exit won’t alter his planning. He continued: “That hasn’t been outlined to me that is the case. The targets we had yesterday will still be the targets we have tomorrow. “To me, even getting one in at the moment is going to be an enormous help to us. “As I have said, we have had a really challenging pre-season. “I just have to chip away at it. If we can get one in and then two in then we’ll keep going until we get the squad that we need.” Postecoglou admits that, despite the lack of depth in the squad, his troops still should have overcome Midtjylland having been ahead in both legs. He said: “Big moments cost us which suggests to me it wasn’t such a demoralising effort. But critical moments change games. “In the first game we conceded a goal we shouldn’t have and here we missed an opportunity to seal the tie. That’s frustrating but it happens. “I thought we were comfortably the better side in the first tie and we held our own for 65 minutes here but it wasn’t enough. “I’ll take responsibility for the result but in terms of the effort of the players, they showed real resilience to try to be successful.” Postecoglou also stood up for Odsonne Edouard, despite a weak showing from the lacklustre striker who is attracting £20million interest from Brighton. The frontman was well off the pace but his gaffer reckons that the result clouded opinions. He added: “He worked awfully hard and gave everything he could. It wasn’t an easy night for him. ‘We knew that he would have to lead the line for us a little bit. “Look, it’s one of those where if we get that second goal and win the game everybody looks at the performance in a different light. “Unfortunately that’s the nature of football.” Celtic now must regroup for Saturday’s Premiership opener against Hearts and next week’s Europa League encounter against Czechs Jablonec. Postecoglou said: “If I felt there was a massive gap in what happened in these two legs, I’d be saying we’ve still got a lot to do but we’re going to get some reinforcements in. “Carl Starfelt has come in, Nir Bitton will be back available, Kyogo Furuhashi will come in, so we’ll be stronger in terms of depth and quality and we’ll be in much better shape come the next European tie. “More importantly, I want to make sure we start the league well on Saturday and that’s our focus right now. Inquests are inquests, I’ve just got to get on with the job. “In three days’ time there’s a very important game for us. We want to start our league campaign in a strong manner. “We’ll have reinforcements between now and then which will help. All we can do is focus on the next challenge and that is Saturday at Hearts.” olD BHoy David Turnbull is calmed by Erik Sviatchenko

Daily RecoRD Thursday, July 29, 2021 MoRe aT DailyRecoRD.co.UK DANE AND DUSTED Page 57 THERE’S an old Glasgow saying that a dodgy defence can’t keep the weans out of the close. Well last night, Celtic’s defence WERE the weans, having to keep the Danes out of the close. And they nearly did it. It took extra time to beat them but the harsh reality is they were living on borrowed time from the minute the draw was made and that is down to their Board –not the collection of kids Ange Postecoglou was forced to throw into a Champions League shootout. Anthony Ralston was immense, Stephen Welsh, Dane Murray and Greg Taylor did their utmost. But they, their manager and their support has been let down by the hierarchy of this club and their ineptitude was laid bare in the Jutland Peninsula as Celtic were shown the door by a team that is no better than bang average and will surely be beaten by PSV Eindhoven in the next round. Celtic will find themselves in a Europa play-off with the Czech Republic’s third best team Jablonec and let’s face it, you wouldn’t bet a forged fiver on them getting through that one either. When Neil Lennon was axed on February 24, they were 18 points behind Rangers but still a nearcertainty to be involved in the tie they faced last night. Only a clairvoyant would have known they’d be in Denmark but it didn’t need a crystal ball to know that irrespective of the title heading to Ibrox, Celtic would still be on a pathway to the Champions League through the qualifiers this summer. A £30million bounty was up for grabs and within reach – with a bit of forward planning, a new manager bedded in and astute work early in the transfer window. It was all there in front of them. No guarantees of course. After all they had been unable to get past AEK Athens, Cluj or Ferencvaros to make the group stage in the three summers that had preceded this one. But a collective paralysis set in among the powerbrokers at Parkhead. And by the time they had shaken themselves free of it by appointing Postecoglou on June 10 – after being jilted by Eddie Howe – it was too late. One hundred and six wasted days and the price to be paid was there for all to see in Midtjylland’s MCH arena last night. Postecoglou has had 48 days to repair the damage of the 106 that preceded them. He has tried. But time and Covid worked against him with Celtic’s board have had 154 days to sort club out.. they failed Ange & their support Hoops youngsters did their best but it’s same old issues DaviD MccaRThy big MaTch veRDicT two players who might have made a difference still quarantining after Carl Starfelt and Kyogo Furuhashi were signed from Russia and Japan respectively. How Postecoglou could have done with Swedish defender Starfelt in particular last night. Instead he was forced into a shootout with those kids at the back. Ralston, 22, Welsh, 21, Murray, 18, and Taylor, 23. It was like carrying water pistols into a gunfight but these Bhoys had to become men. At the top end of the pitch, Celtic were owed a performance from Odsonne Edouard, who has been going through the motions far too often for a player of his ability. Brighton are waiting in the wings to prise him from Parkhead and the onus was on the Frenchman to leave a parting gift, if this indeed was to be his last appearance in a Celtic jersey. He didn’t give them one. In fact, he ambled around looking as if all this were beneath him. They might not have entered a cauldron but there was certainly a noisy, energetic atmosphere and to the Scots’ credit they weren’t fazed by it in the early stages. In fact, David Turnbull’s effort from distance, tipped over by Jonas Lossl, and Edouard’s subsequent volley from the corner were signs of encouragement. Perhaps too a reminder that for all Celtic’s problems, their opponents were no great shakes either. Midtjylland’s pressing, energetic tempo in the first game, was even more hyper this time and asked questions of Celtic’s composure at times. They coped and 45 minutes came and went with nobody being any closer to knowing who was going through. Two minutes after the break it looked a bit clearer thanks to Callum McGregor’s sensational opener – taking a cleared corner on his chest at the edge of the box and drilling a fantastic left-footed volley high past Lossl. Now it was a different test for the young Celtic defence because the Danes had to be more proactive. They were – and equalised seconds after James Forrest, just on for Liel Abada, missed a great opportunity. The sub jabbed wide and Midtjylland made the most of their escape with a cross from the left that Awer Mabil converted with a well- placed header after getting away from Greg Taylor. It was a sickener for Celtic, who should have been 2-0 up and who now had to win the tie all over again. Forrest had another chance to do just that DaNe FoR Bain, Murray and McGregor toil MiSeRy Christie, left, with Danes jubilant as Postecoglou consoles Welsh seven minutes from time after a lightning break that found him released by Christie’s superb pass. Paulinho got back from nowhere to make the block as Forrest pulled the trigger. Then just as the final whistle approached, the Danes missed a glorious chance when Victor Lind volleyed wide from 10 yards. It was going to take extra time. And within three minutes of the extra period, Raphael Onyedika had slammed the home side ahead. Postecoglou might have looked to his bench. If he’d had one that was fit for purpose. The manager eventually made a couple of substitutions in the second period of extra time. But it was too little, too late and that wasn’t on him either. His bosses had 154 days to make sure that last night’s result didn’t happen. They failed him.

But in Denmark it was all about balls and ultimately a distinct lack of them. Having lost their nerve in last week’s first leg against limited Danish opposition, the Parkhead men blew a lead for the second time in eight days to crash out in extra time and blow any hope of a £40million fighting fund from Europe’s premier competition. While former England keeper Joe mulls over a potential move north for the second successive summer, he now knows that it won’t involve a return to the Champions League. If only he’d made the move a year ago then Celtic might not have ended up in such an almighty mess with so much for their new manager to do. Ange Postecoglou can’t MiDTJyllaND...2 celTic...1 KeiTH JacKSoN (3-2 ON AGG, AET, 90 MINS: 1-1) shoulder all the blame for this crushing set-back even if his team went out with a whimper. At least the Aussie had the courage to drop the £5m klutz of a keeper who had left the tie on a knife-edge last week. Nor should his young defenders cop the blame, even though the two goals they conceded were almost predictably soft. To rub salt into the wounds, the first came from Aussie Awer Mabil, shortly after Callum McGregor had fired Celtic into the lead with a stunning volley. The killer second came in extra time when Raphael Onyedika bulldozed through to lash home from close range. But there were HeRo We go Danes’ joy and Bain’s misery others who went missing in action again when Postecoglou needed them most, with Odsonne Edouard the prime example. When he had to be prepared to break his back for the cause, the striker could hardly bring himself to break into a jog. Now the big rebuild continues but against the backdrop of European rubble. Perhaps Gordon Strachan knew a little more than he was letting on the other day when he tipped Scott Bain to be brought in from the cold for this tie. The thought of being handed the gloves for a match of such monumental importance might have raised Bain’s internal stress levels. That he was standing there behind a back line which was made up of Anthony Ralston, Stephen Welsh, Dane Murray and Greg Taylor – a defence which has not even grown bum-fluff at this level – might have given him cause to wonder if he was being thrown a hospital pass. The realisation that Vasilis Barkas would almost certainly have dropped it meant Postecoglou had been left with pretty much no option but to use his bench and hope for the best. Celtic’s players opened up as if they were waiting for the Danes to prove they’re nowhere near as mediocre as they made themselves look in the first leg. Although both David Turnbull and Ryan Christie were prepared to drive at the Midtjylland defence these forward dashes were few and far between.

The Frenchman’s lacklustre effort flew over the top when it ought to have been forcing Lossl into a far more difficult save. If Edouard really wanted to he could have powered a way through on to a slipped through ball from Christie in 17 minutes but he gave up the chase and let Lossl smother the danger. That there was nothing much going on to trouble Bain at the other end confirmed that this Danish outfit weren’t up to much. Celtic coped with a couple of inswinging corners and Bain clutched a dangerous-looking cross from Evander but that was as much as Midtjylland mustered in a stagnant opening half. Postecoglou resisted the temptation to change things up at half-time even though it did feel as if this match was crying out for James Forrest, especially given Liel Abada’s lack of impact on the right flank. But, just two minutes after the restart, the big Aussie was punching the air in delight as captain McGregor came up with a moment of magic. He was lurking on the edge of the Midtjylland box after Celtic had forced an early corner. When the ball dropped towards him off a Danish head what followed unfolded almost in slow motion. A cushioned touch on the chest to make an angle for a shot, then a delicious, rasping left-foot volley which was bulging in the back of Lossl’s net before the keeper had time to get near it. It was a stunning strike and it was also the moment this tie finally caught fire. The Danes sent on sub Onyedika and the Nigerian’s first contribution was to fizz in a cross which Bain fumbled and allowed to flash across an open goal. Forrest, having finally replaced Abada moments earlier, blew a gilt-edged chance when he side-footed wide from 12 yards after being played in by Turnbull’s subtle flick.

Then a heart-stopper in injury time when sub Victor Lind got behind the Celtic defence but volleyed wide.

The Punter Scotland’s best racing guide by a distance Daily Record Thursday, July 29, 2021 goodwood Alcohol Free but still packs a punch Alcohol Free beat the colts to provide owner Jeff Smith with a famous victory in the Qatar Sussex Stakes at Goodwood. Successful in the coronation Stakes at royal Ascot in June, the Andrew Balding-trained filly attempted to make all in the Falmouth at Newmarket last time out but had to give best close home to Snow lantern, who took her on again. champion jockey oisin Murphy was determined to delay his challenge on this occasion and made sure he played his hand late. After a slow early pace century Dream injected some speed into it a long way from home and ended up catching a few rivals on the back foot.

2 The Punterin association with smith: this filly is the real deal FROM PUNTER FRONT Bolger’s 2000 Guineas and St James’s Palace Stakes hero was soon to face a bigger challenge, as Alcohol Free (7-2) quickened impressively and went on to win by a length and three-quarters. Snow Lantern, who could have run in the Nassau Stakes over 10 furlongs later in the week, made up plenty of late ground to claim third, the same distance away. Smith last won the race in 1984 with Chief Singer, while he has also tasted Goodwood glory with the likes of Lochsong and Persian Punch. He said: “This filly is something else, the way she has won that, it’s simply incredible. I’m thrilled to pieces and what a wonderful job Andrew and the whole team have done. “She’s a champion. There’s no question in my mind, she’s the real deal.” Balding said: “It’s a privilege, it really is. Just watching her at home in the mornings is demoralising for the other horses, we have to keep swapping the lead horse because she’s just so good. “She’s hardly blowing afterwards, it’s just effortless for her. I was awful (watching the race), I was calling Oisin all sorts of names! “It was a rough race and I’m sure there were hard luck stories but she was easily the best horse on the day. It’s just lovely to see her do that because we’ve always believed in her.” Manning felt conditions had not played to the strengths of Poetic Flare. He said: “It was the same ILLUSTRATING will reach for the stars in the Lowther Stakes at York after a commanding performance to take the British Stallion Studs Alice Keppel EBF Fillies’ Conditions Stakes at Goodwood.

The well-supported 2-1 LATE RUN Oisin Murphy PRIVILEGE Andrew Balding story as in Paris (sixth in French 2000 Guineas) and we were running a little bit behind the bridle, while on good ground he travels into his races. This ground has blunted his speed. “I felt he was spinning on the ground and going up and down on one spot, though to give him credit he dug very deep and fought back when the filly went past him. The ground was tacky and holding, there was no bounce in it.” Of Snow Lantern, Richard Hannon said: “I’m delighted with her run, it was a good sound effort. She hit a flat spot but the way she stayed on suggests she might want a mile and a quarter. “The ground was a little bit sticky but she showed she handles it, while she doesn’t have much to find with the winner.” Illustrating will draw on success for shot at York favourite seized the initiative approaching the distance to pull two and three-quarter lengths clear of Anadora and Canonized. Burke said: “She’s the only filly I’ve had with the same turn of foot as Quiet Reflection. “She needs cover. There was a worrying moment when she got a bit of a bump early on but she settled sufficiently well for Daniel to get the job done.” Patient is just what doctor ordered Beckett run can extend with Dream win FROM PUNTER FRONT Empress Josephine in the Irish 1000 Guineas at the Curragh. She quickly became a Classic heroine when outpointing Philomene in the French Oaks at Chantilly. The daughter of Galileo is nicely unexposed over 1m 2f so she can add this hot Group 1 to her CV. PATIENT DREAM (1.50) can extend Ralph Beckett’s winning run in the trappy Kincsem Handicap. The gelding built on his fair juvenile form when cosily defeating Coul Kat on his return at Epsom. He put in another decent shift when fourth to Solent Gateway upped in class at the same venue. The three-year-old improved again when edging out Sarvan in another strong event at Windsor. There is plenty more to come from this tough type who can defy a 3lb hike on the soft conditions. ASYMMETRIC (2.25) can give Alan King more big-race glory in the Unibet Richmond Stakes. The son of Showcasing cost his connections a small fortune at the breeze-up sales in the Spring. The juvenile justified his price tag when outpointing Mojomaker on debut over course and distance. He boosted his reputation when bolting up from Sterling Knight in better company at Newmarket. The colt showed he belonged at Group 2 level when collared by Lusail in the July Stakes back at HQ. T H I R D REALM (3.0) can reign for R o g e r IN THE RUNNING Alan King and Ralph Beckett, right garry owen’s verdicT Varian in a cracking renewal of the Gordon Stakes. The colt oozed class when hacking up from Remedium on his comeback in a Nottingham maiden. The three-year-old then claimed the notable scalp of superstar Adayar in the Lingfield Derby Trial. He ran well again when fifth behind his old rival in the Blue Riband itself at Epsom next time. That is by far the best form on offer in this race so this smart type can resume winning ways. Some promising types clash in the nursery but I’m rowing in with HIGHLAND PREMIERE (4.10). Mark Johnston’s juvenile opened his account by just denying the promising Smullen at Hamilton. The colt then clearly relished tackling seven furlongs when hosing up from Lethal Levi at Catterick. So this pacey type can take advantage of a kind draw in stall five. WILDERNESS GIRL (4.45) can shade a typically competitive maiden for Andrew Balding. The daughter of No Nay Never was fairly well-fancied ahead of her debut at Newmarket in July. And the filly went into plenty of notebooks when a staying-on fourth behind Ardbraccan. The juvenile will have learned plenty that day so she can deny some exciting rivals from a fair draw. Silvestre De Sousa is an eye-catching booking on Amy Murphy’s EHRMANN (5.20) in the last. The three-year-old seemed to lose his way after scoring on his return at Southwell back in March. However, he hit back when cosily dismissing the useful Ava Go Joe on soft ground at Pontefract. The sprinter still lurks on an attractive mark so he can strike again under his top-class pilot. CHITRA (6.25) can land the opening race of the new Racing League at Newcastle tonight. Consistent in the UK, the mare was an excellent second at Navan on debut for Joseph O’Brien. The fiveyear-old is even better on the all-weather so she can take advantage of a nice mark. Tom Clover is just hitting form so I’m siding with CASH MACHINE (6.55) in race two. The colt didn’t quite stay seven furlongs when second to Wizard D’amour at Wolverhampton. The three-year-old should be primed so he can make a winning handicap debut down in trip. FLYIN’ HIGH (7.55) can get his career back on track for Andrew Balding in race four. The colt lost his unbeaten record when fifth to John Leeper in Listed company at Newmarket. However, he is a dual-winner here so he can get his head back in front dropped in class. Ge orge Baker’s CEMHAAN (8.55) rates a value bet in the lucky last. The four-year-old shaped like his turn was near when a good second to Amalfi Bay at Epsom. Team O’Brien can also score in Ireland with WINNER TAKES ITALL (6.15) in the Galway Hurdle. The six-year-old had struggled to match his respectable Flat form over timber in recent years. However, the gelding silenced his critics by crushing Wouldn’t You Agree at Bellewstown. The strong-traveller should be fighting fit so he can take this huge prize for his shrewd yard.

Mullins said: “Coming home from here last year we said we’d make this the plan if things worked out. “The horse seemed to come into tremendous form the last three weeks, I was really pleased with him. He looked a picture at home and we were counting down the days, hoping we might get a bit of luck. It all worked out. “He got away in the right position and I wondered was he going too free – but he was jumping fantastically. I’d imagine he’d want to go up in grade.” annie G (7-2) ran out a convincing victor in the listed Tote+ Placepot Pays More novice Hurdle.
