Stephen Kerr, Murdo Fraser and Jamie Halcro Johnston were all smiles as they posted a video of themselves campaigning in which they didn’t mention Ross once. It’s almost as if they’re glad to see him go. ED DAVEY continued his fun General Election campaign by visiting Thorpe Park. The Lib Dem leader smiled and waved as the Rush ride swung him 75ft in the air – but colleague Sarah Olney looked like she was trying her best not to vomit. RISHI Sunak said he “hopes people can find it in their hearts to forgive me” after he left D-Day commemorations to do a political interview. But the public remembers his party’s record. If there’s one man pleading for forgiveness come July 5, it will be him. SEAMUS LOGAN The SNP candidate in Aberdeenshire North and Moray East will be licking his lips at taking on Douglas Ross. DOUGLAS ROSS Three jobs Ross showed he’s only out for himself when he said he will resign as Tory leader after the election. FUN Ed Davey OUTGOING Sunak “Douglas Ross wants to pretend that he is the big man that stands up against the SNP. The reality is he struggled to stand up at all in this election campaign.” GOOD DAY BAD DAY Dougs don’t work OUT WITH THE » DROSS Ross quits after party revolt over ill colleague »Rivals put the boot into hapless triple-jobber election. Sarwar said: “Douglas Ross and the SNP have, in some ways, been two sides of the same coin in that they want to up the chaos and the division, rather than build consensus across the country. “Douglas Ross wants to pretend that he is the big man that stands up against the SNP. The reality is he struggled to stand up at all in this election campaign. I think he has been found out.” Scottish Greens co-leader Patrick Harvie said: “At times like these, it is customary to say something conciliatory about a departing MSP but Douglas Ross has been perhaps the worst leader in the Scottish Tories’ history, and the Scottish Parliament and, stand down as an MSP to make way for another Scottish Conservative representative in Holyrood. “My party has a chance to beat the SNP in key seats up and down Scotland, including in Aberdeenshire North and Moray East. We must now come together and fully focus on doing exactly that.” Questions were raised at the weekend about Ross’s parliamentary expenses relating to his outside work as a football official. Polls show the Tories, reeling from Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s campaign gaffes, are in line for their biggest defeat at a general tion, that is not feasible. I am committed to fighting and winning the Aberdeenshire North and Moray East constituency. “Should I be given the honour to represent the people and communities of this new seat, they should know being their MP w o u l d receive my complete focus and attention. “I will therefore stand down as leader following the election on July 4, once a successor is elected. Should I win the seat, I will also SHAMED Douglas Ross has plunged the Tories into General Election chaos after resigning as leader in the middle of the campaign. The embattled MSP had sparked a massive backlash from party colleagues over his decision to stand for Westminster again after an ill co-worker was brutally blocked. He also faced a cash row at the weekend over claiming Westminster expenses for flights to carry out his duties as an assistant referee in Scottish football. Yesterday, he quit as leader of the Scottish Tories – and faced calls to quit as a list MSP for the Highlands at Holyrood to stand for Westminster. Ross admitted colleagues had told him over the weekend they were “uncomfortable” with his decision to stand for Westminster again. Rivals lined up to put the boot into the triple-jobbing Conservative. Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar said: “Ross is just the first senior Tory to fall as a result of this election campaign. “And I hope on July 4 there are many, many more to fall so we can finally get rid of this Tory government.” Following Ross’s announcement, the SNP’s candidate for Aberdeenshire North and Moray East, Seamus Logan, called on him to resign immediately as an MSP. He said: “It’s clear he’s been forced out as Scottish Tory leader after his shameful behaviour over David Duguid and his growing expenses scandal. “Voters deserve a dedicated MSP – not one who is hedging his bets in case he loses the election.” The Scottish Tory leader had promised not to stand for Westminster on July 4 but U-turned at the last minute. He nipped in to secure the Aberdeenshire North and Moray East nomination after party bosses vetoed Duguid’s candidacy. Duguid is recovering from a serious spinal injury and was told about the bar as he lay in hospital. Tory MSPs were furious with Ross over his Westminster rethink and he bowed to pressure yesterday. He will quit as leader after the election and resign from Holyrood i f h e w i n s t h e Westminster race.

One Conservative MSP said: “It became clear, even to Douglas, that he couldn’t continue such was the debacle of the last few days.” Rishi Sunak, who issued another grovelling apology yesterday for his D-Day snub, said: “You can read Douglas’s s t a t e m e n t a b o u t h i s reasons and I r e s p e c t h i s decision. It’s been a pleasure to work with him over the time that I’ve been Prime Minister, he has been a steadfast champion of the union.” indeed, Scottish politics, will be well rid of him. “He embodies everything that is wrong with the Tory party in hi s anti-env ironm ent, anti-equality, anti-democratic pursuit of self interest, epitomised by his ill-judged swoop for David Duguid’s Westminster seat even while he recovers from serious illness. “The fact he only now accepts that he must resign his seat as an MSP if he is returned to the House of Commons shows the utter contempt with which he holds his constituents and the Scottish Parliament. “It’s not just Douglas Ross that we need to be rid of, it is the divisive, reactionary and prejudiced politics that he represents.” Ross’s MSP colleagues were HARSH WORDS Harvie and Anas Sarwar Davidson when he and others plotted to depose Jackson Carlaw. What goes around comes around and the anger at Ross’s decision last week was the trigger that brought him down. Questions over his parliamentary expenses only underlined how determined his enemies were to topple him. Ross was never a good fit to be leader of the Scottish Tories. He is a Westminster man at heart who believes the House of Commons is the real Parliament. When he was elected to Westminster in 2017, he scarpered from Holyrood like a scalded cat. But when he returned to Holyrood four years later, he clung to his second job at Westminster. He cannot let go. History will record Ross as a decent performer at First Minister’s Questions but abysmal at everything else. He urged Boris Johnson to quit, then asked him to stay, before U-turning a second time to call for his head. Ross is also a symbol of how febrile Scottish politics had become after the independence referendum. He has been determined to keep the constitutional wounds open because it suits his party politically. He is a divider, not a uniter, who has no interest in bringing Scottish society together. Ross was once asked what he would do if he was PM for a day without repercussions. He could have said cutting poverty, tackling climate change or overhauling public services. His answer revealed everything about him: “I’d like to see tougher enforcement against gypsy travellers.” Luckily for Scots, this future backbencher will never get a whiff of power. DOUGLAS Ross holds the dubious honour of running an even worse General Election campaign than his hopeless boss Rishi Sunak. Sunak caused revulsion when he betrayed Normandy veterans by bailing out of a D-Day event early. He launched his awful campaign in the rain and staged an event outside the Titanic centre. But he is a political genius compared to the Scottish Tory leader, who has announced his resignation in the middle of the General Election campaign. Ross wanted to be the next First Minister – a full-time job in itself – and yet believed it was credible to stand again for Westminster. He believed it was OK to juggle being an MP, MSP and party leader while running the line at football matches. The stitch-up that gave him the Aberdeenshire North and Moray East nomination also reminded voters of a nasty party that tramples over the vulnerable. David Duguid, who would have been the candidate were it not for Ross’s opportunism, was in hospital when the axe fell on his head. The party board, which just happens to count Ross as a member, then allowed Ross to nip in and secure the candidacy. The move reeked of self-interest and entitlement at a time when the public collectively gag when they see the Tories. Ross’s shabby behaviour was akin to how he became leader in the first place. He only took over from Ruth Listen to our SLIM CHANCE Douglas Ross and the Tories are having a disastrous campaign. Picture: Jane Barlow SUNAK: I’M A FAILURE PAGES 6&7


PAGE 6 MORE AT DAILYRECORD.CO.UK DAILY RECORD Tuesday, June 11, 2024 I AM BY DAVE BURKE [email protected] 1 Tax: No rise in rates of income tax, National Insurance or VAT. As chancellor, Rishi Sunak raised NI to its highest ever level in April 2022. 2 Housing: 300,000 homes a year by the mid-2020s. There were 234,397 net additional dwellings in England in 2022-23, a similar figure to the previous year. 3Defence: Increase defence budget by at least 0.5 per cent above inflation every year. This pledge was abandoned as inflation soared into double digits. 4Foreign aid: Maintain commitment to spend 0.7 per cent of gross national income on overseas development. As chancellor, Sunak reduced spending to 0.5 per cent, depriving the world’s poorest of support. 5Pensions triple lock: Raise the state pension each year by the higher of inflation, average wages or 2.5 per cent. This was dropped in 2021 as there was a jump in earnings figures caused by the pandemic. 6Social care: Nobody needing care should be forced to sell their home to pay for it. Ministers watered down the promise as they pledged in 2021 “there will be fewer people selling their houses”. 7Landlord rules: Abolish “no fault” evictions. The legislation was abandoned when Sunak called the General Election. 8 Homelessness: End the blight of rough sleeping. The number of people estimated to be sleeping rough on a single night in autumn 2023 was 3,898, as the figure rose for a second year in a row. 9 Trophy hunting: Ban imports from trophy hunting of endangered animals. Legislation put forward by backbench MPs was abandoned when the General Election was announced. 10 Immigration: Overall numbers will come down. At the time, net migration – the number of people coming to the UK minus the number leaving – was 226,000. It now stands at 685,000. ■The 2019 Conservative manifesto promises that have been broken. BROKEN PROMISES RISHI Sunak last night admitted he has failed on the NHS, housing and immigration as he was confronted over 14 years of broken Tory promises. In a BBC interview, the Prime Minister was repeatedly challenged over the state of the country. He was forced to acknowledge it has become harder for people to own their first home under the Conservatives. Sunak also confessed to presenter Nick Robinson that he had not delivered his pledge to cut NHS waiting lists and conceded immigration was “too high”. He tried to explain away his failings by saying: “No government gets everything right.” And as he claimed he would deliver on the promises if re-elected, he was forced to defend calling a snap election before any flights to Rwanda had taken off, despite putting it at the heart of his plan to tackle small boat crossings. The PM conceded that no one has yet been sent to the African nation despite three years of Tory promises. Robinson said: “When you say you’ve got a plan you sound to me like a guy in a pub who borrows 50 quid, and he borrowed it three years ago, and he keeps saying, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll pay you back.’ “And then when you confront him in the pub, he says, ‘I’ll pay you tomorrow.’ You wouldn’t believe him, would you? “You’re constantly promising what you will do, but what you haven’t done so far.” The presenter added many viewers believe “nothing works in this country”. The PM responded: “I’ve been very clear in the past, no government gets everything right, but I am proud of what has been achieved over 14 years, this election is also about the future.” He claimed waiting lists are starting to go down, but admitted: “I’ve been very clear. “We have not made as much progress on NHS waiting lists as I would have liked, and they have risen.” Challenging Sunak over his failure to secure the UK’s borders, Robinson said: “Last year 685,000 extra people came here. That’s twice the population of Coventry. You didn’t control our borders, did you?” The PM replied: “No, the numbers are too high. I’ve been very clear about that, but people can judge me as well on what I’ve done as Prime Minister, where I’ve put in place the biggest, strictest reforms to bring down immigration that we’ve seen.” Sunak MORE AT DAILYRECORD.CO.UK ELECTION 2024 PM ADMITS TORY Gordon Brown, will appear on Good Morning Britain the morning after the election. This is the first General Election since Sturgeon resigned as SNP leader last year. Her party is also predicted to suffer heavy losses, with Labour likely to pick up many of the seats it lost in 2015. Recent polls have suggested the SNP could pick up fewer than 20 seats, with Labour – who took only one in 2019 – potentially getting dozens. RESULT Nicola Sturgeon Sturgeon joins ITV results panel NICOLA Sturgeon will appear on ITV’s overnight General Election results programme on July 4. The former first minister will be on a panel alongside former Tory chancellor George Osborne and ex-Labour shadow chancellor Ed Balls. The programme – Election 2024 Live: The Results – will air on STV, STV Player, ITV1 and ITVX. It will be hosted by Tom Bradby, who anchored election nights in 2015, 2017 and 2019.

DAILY RECORD Tuesday, June 11, 2024 MORE AT DAILYRECORD.CO.UK PAGE 7 A FAILURE told the BBC that owning a home has become more difficult in the time his party has been in charge. He admitted: “It has got harder and I need to make sure it gets easier.” Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner responded: “This is a damning indictment of 14 years of housing failure. Home ownership is a pipe dream for young people. “Never once in 14 years have the Tories met their 300,000 a year housing target, and their recent decision to appease Tory MPs on their backbenches and abolish mandatory h o u si n g t a rg e t s h a s s e e n housebuilding take a nosedive.” The Conservative’s sums fell apart last night as Sunak prepared to unveil his election manifesto. The PM was accused of drawing up “the most expensive panic attack in history”. Labour warned Sunak was offering a “barrage of unfunded pledges” in the Tory manifesto, which will be published today. Shadow paymaster general Jonathan Ashworth rubbished claims billions can be saved to pay for the promises through an “imaginary” welfare shake-up. He also said the PM’s plan to bring back National Service will cost twice what he says it will as he accused him of a “fraud on the electorate”. He added: “The British people are still paying the price for the last time the Tories made reckless unfunded spending commitments, mortgages skyrocketed. And they will again. “The Tories sums do not add up. The money is simply not there.” Earlier in the day Sunak was forced to deny claims he was thinking about quitting ahead of polling day. He vowed to carry on “until the last day of this campaign”, adding: “The reality is I’m not going to stop going, I’m not going to stop fighting for people’s votes, I’m not going to stop fighting for the future of our country.” Speaking on the campaign trail in Sussex, he pleaded for voters to accept his apology for his decision to leave commemorations marking the 80th anniversary of D-Day early when other leaders stayed to the end. “I just hope people can find it in their hearts to forgive me,” he said.

PAGE 8 MORE AT DAILYRECORD.CO.UK DAILY RECORD Tuesday, June 11, 2024 RECORD VIEW Voters must give greedy Ross boot DOUGLAS Ross should stand down as an MSP immediately. The chancer clearly wants the best of both worlds and has plunged his party’s campaign into chaos as a result. He has hopped between his multiple jobs for years, not committing himself or doing any of them properly. Ross should decide which one he wants to do – be it Holyrood or Westminster – and stick to it. It is an outrage for him to try to become MP for Aberdeenshire North and Moray East and use his cushy Highlands and Islands list seat at the Scottish Parliament as a back-up plan. This is an absolute insult to the people he represents. They deserve to have an MSP who is fully committed to the area and the parliament that they sit in. How can the public be expected to trust a man who is clearly in politics for his own gain and not to make a difference? Ross stabbed his own colleague in the back so he could find a way back to Westminster. He didn’t care that David Duguid was in hospital recovering from a spinal injury. Ross has clearly demonstrated that he has no proper interest in being an MSP and would prefer to be in the House of Commons. So he should step aside now and let his constituents be represented by someone who wants to do the job. When July 4 comes, voters in Aberdeen North and Moray East should do the right thing and reject him as their MP. If and when they do, he shouldn’t be able to sneak back to Holyrood as a cushy little reward for his self-serving behaviour. OUT WITH THE DROSS – PAGES 4&5 Short-changed CAMPAIGNERS are right – we urgently need an injection of cash to tackle the plague of youth violence on our streets. The harrowing death of 16-year-old Kory McCrimmon in Glasgow last week must be the final wake-up call for politicians. As the Record’s Our Kids … Our Future campaign has urged time and time again, we desperately need to invest in new safe spaces for our teenagers that can get them off the streets. Parents whose kids have been subject to brutal assaults are emphatic that the current spending of £2million a year on this crisis is barely scratching the surface. Most tragic of all, they spent many months warning that if stronger action wasn’t taken, a child would inevitably lose their life in this epidemic of violence. This issue simply has not been treated seriously enough, nor given the resources required, by the Scottish Government. For the sake of our kids, that must change immediately. £2m NOT ENOUGH FOR KIDS – PAGE 13 CON GETS 9 YEARS FOR M-WAY HORROR Drug boss killed 3 pals in 127mph smash QUASHED Caren Lorimer conviction has been quashed.

The brother of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, wrote that the sexual assaults and beatings left him with lifelong demons. N o r t h a m p t o n s h i r e Police yesterday said that it had conducted initial inquiries into allegations of abuse said to have taken place at Maidwell Hall School in the 1970s. After Earl Spencer’s claims were published in his memoirs in March, the school, in Market Harborough, apologised and said: “We were dismayed to read about the allegations of abuse. Almost every facet of school life has evolved since the 1970s.” BY TOM PETTIFOR Kate arrived at the island on Saturday to join the search for their father. Wife Dr Clare Bailey yesterday paid tribute to her “wonderful, funny, kind and brilliant” husband. She said: “We had an incredibly lucky life together. “We loved each other very much and were so happy together. I am incredibly proud of our children, their resilience and support over the past days. My family and I have been hugely comforted by the outpouring of love from around the world. It’s clear that Michael meant a huge amount to so many of you.” Dr Mosley, who wrote a string of books and popularised the 5:2 Diet, and Clare, a GP and health columnist, landed on the small island on June 4 for a week with friends who have a house in Symi Town. The two couples took a boat up the coast on Wednesday morning. They stopped at St Nicholas beach where Michael went for a swim in the sea before deciding to walk the 2.2 miles back to the house for his mobile. He left Clare at the beach at 1.30pm, heading towards the village of Pedi. CCTV picked him up walking through the village. Security footage from a house at the end of the bay in Pedi later showed him striding up a hill towards Agia Marina The walk from St Nicholas beach to He sat down FROM PHIL CARDY in Symi DAY AT BEACH Dr Mosley, wife Clare & TV team TV MEDIC Michael Mosley stopped for a final rest before he died in searing 40C heat on a Greek island, a coroner said yesterday. The exhausted presenter, 67, sat down on a rock before he collapsed, an initial report found. If he had managed to make it another 50 yards he would have reached the sea and a gate into a beach bar on the island of Symi. His body was found at 10.30am on Sunday behind a small wall and fence which circles the Agia Marina bar. A police source said foul play had been ruled out but added it was impossible to determine an exact cause of death at this stage due to decomposition. The coroner, who has access to CCTV footage from the Agia Marina resort, said he died at around 4pm on Wednesday – the day he was reported missing by wife Clare. The star, who appeared on the BBC and on ITV’s This Morning, can be seen negotiating the treacherous, rocky terrain at the side of the resort. He appears to pause momentarily by the perimeter wall, resting one hand on it before losing his balance and disappearing from sight. The source said: “The way the body was positioned suggests that first he sat down and then he died. “There is no indication that he was hit by something in the head for example, or that he collapsed while walking. “The area is one of the hottest ones in the region and the local temperature between Wednesday and Sunday was sometimes north of 40C. “The autopsy is finished but the official report has not been filed yet. The coroner has let police know the findings and this is where this information comes from.” Yesterday family friends of the TV doctor visited the spot where his body was found and laid a single white flower. Two men and a woman arrived at the Agia Marina resort on a small boat and headed over the rocks to the scene. They spent 20 minutes consoling each other before leaving the single oleander. They declined to comment as they left. Last night The One Show presenter Alex Jones opened the programme with a tribute to their “dear friend and colleague”. She said: “Dr Michael Mosley was part of the original line-up of One Show reporters who made his first appearance in 2007 and has been a familiar presence on the show ever since. “It’s still very hard to grasp what’s happened, I think everybody feels that. It’s an absolute shock.” Dr Mosley’s grown-up children Alex, Jack, Dan and MICHAEL MOSLEY 1957-2024: »Coroner: Star rested on rock before collapse »One Show co-host in tribute to ‘dear friend’ RESPECTS Two men and a woman approach the scene TRIBUTE Pals visit the scene and leave fl ower RECOVERY Body is moved from same spot AID Gaza children at station Israel kills 40 as activists hit UK bank AT LEAST 40 Palestinians were killed and 200 injured in Israeli strikes.

Symi mayor Eleftherios Papakalodoukas said of the TV star’s final journey: “The island is so small, so [there] can not be missing any person. “He started from St Nicholas beach without a mobile phone. “He did not make any stops. He did not drink any coffee and was rushing from the path toward Agia Marina.” His body was found after Mr Papakalodoukas and a Greek TV crew spotted something “unusual” while filming from a boat in the bay.

Michael loved what he did. He was immensely grateful for how receptive the public were to the ideas he had the privilege to share, and to the scientists whose work he helped popularise. We will miss him dreadfully.” The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “Our thoughts are with Dr Mosley’s family and friends. “We have seen some incredibly touching tributes which have made clear the huge impact that Dr Mosley had on people and helped to transform people’s lives for the better. “He will be known as an extraordinary broadcaster who used his platform to change the way we think about many public health issues.” ...and then he died THE last TV series made by Dr Michael Mosley has been delayed while bosses decide whether it can be shown following his death.

A spokeswoman for Channel 5 said it was “too early” to comment on whether Wonders of the Human Body would air as a tribute.

He and wife Amelia welcomed their own little Troublemaker, daughter Madison, eight weeks ago. And with four UK number one hits under his belt, singing her to sleep is usually Olly’s job. But he said: “My go-to lullaby is Take That, because I’m on tour with them. They’ve got a new song called Windows, so I actually sing that to her. “I did sing my song Heart on My Sleeve to her the other day… but yeah, like I said, Take That songs seems to be the ones that she likes. “Obviously, people have told me it’s good that she’s falling asleep to music. I said, ‘Well, let’s hope she doesn’t continue to fall asleep to my music when she gets older.’” Asked if she was showing any signs of her dad’s musical genes, the 40-year-old said: “I want to say she’s moving her legs and her arms [to music] a lot. But then when you speak to other parents, all the babies do that. “So there was me thinking she was dancing to me and having fun but no, that’s just part parcel of it, I suppose. “But the one thing they did say at the hospital was that for someone so little, she’s got a big voice. So I’ll take that.” J ust days after Madison was born at the end of April, Olly was back on stage supporting Take That on their UK & Ireland tour. But he says he and Amelia are getting through it with a dose of humour. He added: “Juggling it has been difficult, but we’ve done really well. “Last week, Madison actually stayed for the show, which was good. “She was in the dressing room with Amelia’s family, who have been so supportive. “It is a bit of a minefield, your brain is like, ‘What is going on?’ But you’re trying to keep a human alive. “It comes with the sort of responsibility that makes you go, ‘I’ve never had this before.’ “But Amelia is doing an incredible job and I’m there to be there for her and Madison.

Of course. It never gets easy, and I’m not enjoying the smell that much to be honest with you. “I’m not good with smells anyway. “But it can be funny.

He announced his engagement to Amelia in June 2022 and the pair married 13 months later. Sunday will be Olly’s first Father’s Day as a dad. And while he says it will be a special day, he says it’s actually Amelia who deserves to be celebrated. He said: “Madison and I are building our relationship and I feel like it will be special on Father’s Day. “But at the moment, as a first time dad, I just look at Amelia and go, ‘Wow, you brought a baby into the world’. The reality of that is, ‘Wow.’ “It’s mind-blowing stuff. It’s pretty awesome. I think one of life’s biggest decisions for a guy to make anyway is the partner you’re going to be with for the rest of your life. “But I knew as soon as I met Amelia, I just knew that she’d be the most amazing mum to our children. “And she really is – she’s taken to being a parent so w e l l .

But Amelia is the one that has to hold and carry the babies for nine months. “We are planning to have more children but I think that at the moment we are just going to crack on with Madison and give Amelia a bit of a break.” Olly was speaking after a visit to children’s charity Brainwave, for which he is an ambassador. The charity, which supports families and children with different disabilities, receives no statutory funding and requires over £2million every year to sustain vital services. Olly said: “Anything I can do to raise awareness and help one family, or one child… that’s the benefit.

He added: “It goes both ways, I’ve also seen Germans in homemade kilts.” Hamish hopes the Scots will show the Germans some dance moves of their own in their post-goal and post-match celebrations. He joked: “The Germans and the Scots will get on really well on matchday, it’ll be a great occasion. “I hope and expect that John McGinn and all the Tartan Army will be doing our own Highland jig after the game.” says fans are already copying McGinn as they prepare to take over Munich ahead of Friday’s Euros kick-off against Germany.

And the way McGinn embraced the local culture has inspired fans to follow suit. They were left in stitches by the video shared by the men’s national t e a m o n X , formerly Twitter.

McGinn was invited to join dancers dressed in lederhosen and wearing the Tyrolean hat complete with a feather and several pin badges.

The 92-year-old, who has played Ken Barlow on the soap for for nearly 64 years after making his debut in its first episode in 1960, was given 12 weeks in March to settle the dispute. At a hearing yesterday which lasted less than a minute, Anam Razvi, for HMRC, requested the dismissal of the case on behalf of the tax body. Chief Insolvency and Companies Court judge Nicholas Briggs agreed and dismissed the case. Roache did not attend the hearing at the specialist Insolvency and Companies Court in London. He holds the world record for the longestserving TV soap star.

Martin Hendrie, 45, pounced on Michael McCrone at The Savoy in Glasgow in July 2022. McCrone had earlier pushed Hendrie and assaulted his partner Anne-Marie Rogan. McCrone then put a thumb into Hendrie’s eye and pulled his head down. Hendrie, of Clydebank, bit the top off McCrone’s ear. It could not be reattached. Hendrie pled guilty yesterday at Glasgow Sheriff Court to assaulting McCrone. McCrone was previously prosecuted and received 180 hours of unpaid work and was tagged for five months. Sentence on Hendrie was deferred until July. BY CONNOR GORDON


S UMMER has arrived. T at means more time spent outdoors in the sunshine and doing things we love - whether heading down to the beach, venturing out on two wheels, or picnicking with friends. But before you dig out the barbecue and make plans for the near future, have you taken any time to think a little further ahead? T ere are some things in life that are inevitable - aging, declining health, and an increased reliance on people around us because of this. Why then do many of us delay preparing for this in advance? It’s likely the thought that this is a long way of yet, and is not urgent enough to take action right now. However, this is not necessarily the case. None of us know what’s around the corner - and should something unfortunate happen like a sudden illness or unforeseen accident, you want to ensure the impact on you and your loved ones is minimal, and that you’re in the best position possible. T is includes making sure provisions are in place to protect your assets - both f nancial and emotional - and that you’ll be taken care of whatever happens. One such way to do this is by appointing a Power of Attorney (POA). A POA allows you to nominate someone you trust - like a relative or close friend - to make decisions on your behalf, should you become mentally or physically incapacitated and no longer able to make them yourself. It could also help to provide much-needed peace of mind for both you and your family, knowing that there’s a secure plan in place for the future. Tony Marchi of estate planning professionals ILAWS stresses the importance of having a POA. He says: “Without Power of Attorney, if you are unable to make decisions for yourself, you can’t authorise anyone else at that point to make decisions for you. “No-one will be able to step in - not your spouse, not your children; they won’t be allowed to make decisions for you.” T is means that should you end up in hospital for a period of time, it may be dif cult to get some of the care you need, or for your loved ones to take care of any outstanding issues or f nancial requirements on your behalf. Tony PLANNINGFORYOUR w Act now, a simple Will is only £50 + VAT. *Total £60 Why you should put a Power of Attorney in place today 1 A husband or wife does NOT automatically inherit 100 per cent of each other’s estate when one dies. 2 Partners who are unmarried inherit NOTHING from each other regardless of how long they have been together. 3 Children under 16 years of age, who lose their parents, do NOT just go to a family member but WILL be placed in foster care unless there is a proper Guardianship Order in place. 4 Should you end up in care; the government WILL seek to take your home to pay for care costs leaving your family with nothing. 5 Your children may be disinherited should your spouse/partner live with or marry someone else after you have passed away. 5 reasons to take out a Will today... ESTATE PLANNING PROFESSIONALS, ILAWS, EXPLAINS WHY POWER OF ATTORNEY IS BECOMING MORE ESSENTIAL TAKE ACTION Power of Attorney is £195 + VAT, plus £87 court registration fee. *Total £321


FINANCIALFUTURE ADVERTISING FEATURE continues: “T ough POA isn’t mandatory, think about whether you have building or contents insurance. T at isn’t mandatory, but if you don’t have it and one day need it, you’re in trouble. “POA is becoming more essential, as we all get older and pass away.” And when it comes to the f nancial side of things, Tony advises that getting a POA in place isn’t as costly as one may think. He adds: “Power of Attorney is a one-of fee and it covers everything you own, including savings and your home, as well as your welfare and medical needs. “It also costs a lot less than people think, but even if you are having to plan for that cost, you know how much you are planning for, when you are going to be doing it, and you have something in place to go and get yourself protected. “Don’t delay - do this and plan for it now.” As long as it is in place before you are incapacitated, a Power of Attorney gives you long-term protection relating to your welfare and f nanical assets - and means you have personally selected the person who will take control. OTHER MEASURES AVAILABLE As well as a Power of Attorney, another legal tool you can harness to help protect your f nancial assets, particularly, is a property transfer and/or trust. With conditions like dementia and Parkinson’s on the rise, according to recent statistics by dedicated UK charities, you may f nd yourself needing to move into a care home for extra, round-theclock care. In this instance, your f nancial assets - namely the family home - could be at risk. If you have capital assets worth £29,750 or more, you are required to meet your own care costs in full, which currently average over £60,000 a year. And if your pension and savings do not suf ciently cover the cost of fees, the local authority could take your home. Whilst it is illegal to deliberately stop the local authority from taking money to pay for care home fees, a trust could help. By setting up a trust, you can maintain control over your f nancial assets, including your home. You will become a ‘trustee’ and be able to retain both legal ownership and control of the property. Take a husband and wife - if they move their home, or part of it, into a trust, they become ‘trustees’. Should one or both of them go into care, the property cannot be touched as it is not legally owned by them but by the trust. Nothing can af ect the home while it is protected by the trust, and when the couple passes away, their children or loved ones - as ‘benef ciaries’ - will inherit everything in the trust. Tony says: “T ere is no one-sizef ts-all solution, but we can of er options, such as a trust, to prevent the sale of the house. Even if you have a mortgage with the house, or equity release, you can still protect your home. “When it comes to trusts, the cost varies from property to property, depending upon its value and individual circumstances but it is less expensive than most people think. “Even if you have been quoted a price from a dif erent company before, it is worth speaking with ILAWS as you may f nd that it will cost you less than one week in care would!” CONTACT ILAWS TODAY With over 30 years of experience, ILAWS helps many individuals and families across Scotland to plan for the future, understanding your needs and providing quality advice.

To f nd out more, visit www.ilawsscotland.co.uk ‘I don’t need a Will, it’ll all go to my family’ MOST people think that when you die, all your assets will automatically go to your next of kin, but that’s not necessarily the case. If you die without a Will, the rights of succession will dictate how your money and assets are distributed after your death, which may not be in the way that you wanted. For example, if you’re not married or in a civil partnership, your partner won’t automatically inherit your money. Even spouses do not automatically inherit everything from each other – it will depend on their circumstances. And with many blended families nowadays also, it’s vital to declare who you want your assets to go to. If you’re a parent with young children, a Will also means you can choose a legal guardian for them if something happens, as well as leave instructions on how they should be cared for. A Will also allows you to detail things that could be overlooked. For example, you may have money stored in online shopping accounts ILAWS covers: GLASGOW, MORAY, FIFE, PERTH, DUNDEE, INVERNESS, ABERDEEN, EDINBURGH, AYRSHIRE and all surrounding areas Thistle Street, Aberdeen, AB10 1XZ - Bath Street, Glasgow, G2 4JR - Midholm, 2 Hillview Drive, Clarkston, Glasgow, G76 7JD Home appointments for Wills and Powers of Attorney are now available in Moray and Inverness- shire, while home or offi ce appointments continue as normal in usual business areas.

She took her own life at home in Liff, near Dundee, in March 2014. Ruth plans to complete a 16-mile route with a 5577ft climb on the Pentland Skyline near Edinburgh, with husband Craig and two friends – Jean Bruce and Sheila Morrison – on Saturday.

He was amazing with Rose.” Another said: “That’s ruined it for me.” Giovanni is facing a legal battle after several former celebrity contestants made complaints about his teaching methods, led by actress Amanda Abbington, who withdrew from the competition last year.

Always there for me, checking in when she didn’t have to. I’ll forever miss her.” Almost £3000 has been raised so far by friends who set up a fundraiser to bring Bridgeen’s body back to Scotland.

As Tommy once said: “Whiskey’s good proofing water. Tells you who’s real and who isn’t.” He’s obviously approved this lot as almost all of the dream team is back. Cillian told Netflix: “It seems Thomas Shelby wasn’t finished with me.” We can expect to see many of the Shelbys as director Tom Harper teased: “Peaky has always been a story about family.” And we’d love to see Sophie Rundle return as Ada and Tom Hardy as Alfie Solomons. Creator Steven Knight has previously hinted that the Netflixfunded film would be set during World War II. At this point, will Tommy be a much older and wiser character? Cillian said: “If we want to watch 50-year-old Tommy Shelby, I will be there. Let’s do it.” Steven, who has written the screenplay, says: “It will be an explosive chapter in the Peaky Blinders story. No holds barred. Full-on Peaky Blinders at war.” The popularity of this gritty period crime drama has been a boost to the British economy and we can expect more cash to flow in with the movie. The series launched a revival of 20s fashion, including baker-boy caps and everyone asking for Tommy’s iconic short back and sides. There was also an increase in babies named after its characters, with Arthur, Finn and Tommy being particularly populars. Super-fans have themed their weddings around the show, there’s a Peaky Blinders bar in Manchester, dozens of location tours, as well as live shows and even a thrilling dance stage adaptation called Peaky Blinders: The Redemption of Thomas Shelby. Oh, and Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista has a Tommy tattoo on his thigh. Now that is dedication to the cause. After months of rumour and speculation, a Peaky Blinders film has officially been given the green light. Cillian Murphy will return as Tommy Shelby for creator Steven Knight’s stab at big-screen Brummie brutality. It has been more than two years since that dramatic series six finale and we’ve been desperate to see how the gangsters have moved on. So, by order of the Peaky Blinders, we’ve got the lowdown on what to expect… Sophie Rundle as Ada Shelby Series writer Steven Wright Dave Bautista and his tattoo spot, closely followed by John Mayer. Geordie superstar Sam Fender, who burst on to the scene in 2017, and Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood made up the top five. The study was carried out by guitarguitar, to mark the store’s 20th anniversary. Taylor Swift, who was in Scotland over the weekend on her Eras tour, also made the top 10. She came in just behind Chris Shiflett and Ed O’Brien, of Foo Fighters and Radiohead, with Tom Delonge from Blink182, and Biffy Clyro’s Simon Neil – the only Scot on the list – completing the 10.

No date has been set yet, but the film is set to start shooting in September in Digbeth, an area in central Birmingham. If they want it to be an Oscar contender, it will have to be shown in a US cinema before the December deadline, but it’s more likely Netflix will hold on to it for one of its flagship releases next year. The South Londoner who played Tommy’s dark and violent older brother has had a tough time having been convicted of drug possession in January this year. He was spotted looking frail and dishevelled recently. But it’s looking likely that he will also be back for the film after he shared a photo of the movie script on Instagram alongside the famous quote from The Godfather: “Just when I thought I was out…” Tommy’s a changed man. He’s given up drinking, started to read poetry and found peace. But if he’s turned to calm and tranquillity, it won’t last long. No longer plagued by a serial illness, he needs to come back with a vengeance by punishing the lying doctor. Also, more scenes with Alfie Solomons please, as well as women ruling the roost. As Polly said: “This whole bloody enterprise was women’s business while you boys were away at war.” Peaky Blinders catapulted Cillian into the big league with the Irish star going on to win an Oscar for his role in hit movie Oppenheimer. He also launched his own production company this year, Big Things Films, produced and starred in It was a tough time for Tommy. He lost his Aunt Polly and his daughter Ruby and then was told he only had a year to live before the final showdown between Tommy and Polly’s son Michael (Finn Cole), who had promised his mother he would take Tommy down. After shooting Michael through the eye, he discovered the doctor had lied and he wasn’t dying after all. The final shot saw Tommy on a white horse, returning to find his wagon on fire. He turned and rode off, with business to tie up.

WHEN Alison McIndoe began to struggle with pain in her knee, the personal trainer put it down to overdoing her workouts in the gym. But when everyday tasks such as washing her hair suddenly became harder due to stiffness and pain in her hands and fingers, she knew something else was happening. At just 40 years old, Alison had gone from being in the shape of her life, to barely being able to button up a shirt in the space of months. Yet she still wasn’t prepared when, in March 2023, doctors revealed she had developed rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Alison, now 42, from Glasgow, said: “I was devastated. There is a lot of confusion surrounding rheumatoid arthritis, people think it’s about old people with creaky joints, but it’s nothing like that at all.” According to the NHS, RA affects more than 400,000 people in the UK, with symptoms including joint pain and inflammation. “It’s an auto-immune disease but as it’s not life threatening, it can be difficult for people to sympathise with,” said Alison. “Many women are diagnosed between the ages of 40 and 45, like me. It completely changes your day-to-day life.” Alison was working as a personal trainer with her own private studio in Glasgow in 2018 when she became pregnant with her daughter Amelie, now five. She suffered with morning sickness, too unwell to exercise. Then, when Amelie arrived in September 2018, Alison suffered with postnatal depression and felt terrible about her body having gained three stone. Just over a year later, lockdown hit, gyms were closed and the new mum felt trapped. “I was desperate to change, so I started to focus on manifesting a more positive future,” she said. “One day, after dragging my heavy, stiff legs upstairs, I got my yoga mat out and spent 15 minutes stretching on my living room floor. “I kept this routine up and slowly I didn’t feel as stiff.” Alison then tried yoga classes but developed plantar fasciitis. She tried to not let it affect her mood and continued to cycle on her spin bike, use weights at home and ate more healthily. Spurred on by her new regime, in October 2021, Alison applied to join the fire service, a lifelong dream of hers. She was required to pass a bleep fitness test, so upped her workouts, training up to four times a week. Despite this, she didn’t pass the test in November 2022 but was proud of what she’d achieved. Three weeks later, when Alison awoke with a stiff knee, she put it down to over-exercising.

But when everyday tasks such as washing her hair suddenly became harder due to stiffness and pain in her hands and fingers, she knew something else was happening. At just 40 years old, Alison had gone from being in the shape of her life, to barely being W DESPITE his long and successful playing career, Peter Schmeichel could only properly hear the crowd for the first time at a football match last month. “All of a sudden I could hear what the crowd were saying,” said the former Man United and Denmark goalkeeper. “I’ve never been able to do that before. I’ve always had to ask other people or players, ‘What are they saying, or singing?’” he said. The reason he could hear the roar – and a few obscenities too – when United ended the season with a win at Brighton was because, less than a fortnight before the match, he was fitted with hearing aids. He added: “Before the game kicked off, I could actually have a conversation with the guys next to me, something which has normally been an issue. It’s been a real gamechanger for me.” Peter, who is now 60 and works in football media, has a congenital hearing issue which has slowly worsened over the years. He said: “I was born with hearing loss and always struggled to hear certain high frequencies. It wasn’t that much of an issue growing up and playing football, only if there was a lot of background noise. In noisy places I just can’t hear what people are saying even if they’re right in front of me. “Luckily, it was never a problem when I was playing. It’s so loud in a stadium, there’s no way you can hear what someone on the touchline is saying anyway.” But in everyday life he noticed his hearing getting worse. “If the washing machine beeps, my wife might look at me and say, ‘Didn’t you hear it has ended?’. Some men will say not hearing a sound like that is a kind of positive,” he joked. Peter also suffers from frequent nosebleeds and when seeing a specialist about this long-standing issue more than two years ago, they suggested doing a hearing test too. “These showed that in both ears I couldn’t hear those high frequency sounds,” said Peter. “He said I wasn’t far off needing hearing aids.” It was more recently, while doing some public speaking with fellow ex-player Freddie Ljungberg, that his deteriorating hearing really hit home. “We were at an event for 700 people and we were mic’d up,” said Peter. “With so much background noise, I was really struggling to hear what Freddie and the MC were saying. I knew I had to do something about it.” So in May, Peter went to a hearing centre in Copenhagen where he lives and was fitted with a pair of discreet hearing aids. “I have to say, like everybody else, it took me a long time to get around to having hearing aids,” he said. “There’s always been a stigma about hearing aids being a sign of you being old and I must admit I’ve been guilty of thinking that as well.” Peter’s father, who was a musician, lost his hearing but only wore hearing aids very late in life. “My dad, who unfortunately is not here any more, was very, very late getting hearing aids,” said Peter. “He’d become withdrawn when the family was together but started taking part more when he did eventually have them. “You can choose if you want to live without hearing or decide you do want to live with hearing. But while you have to accept it’s a scientific fact that whatever hearing loss you have suffered you will never get back, a hearing aid will protect whatever hearing you have left. Forget what people think about hearing aids.” Peter is now heading a Boots Hearingcare campaign to highlight the stigma around hearing loss and using hearing aids. According to the firm’s research, almost a fifth of people admit they have hearing loss but don’t wear a hearing aid. Peter said he found the hearing aids “itchy” at first but, apart from when he gets sweaty exercising, tries to wear them as much as he can. When England play Denmark at the Euros, he’ll have an earpiece linking him to the studio while he is pitch-side. “My wife is enjoying not having to repeat everything,” he said. “In the past, when she was walking away from me, I couldn’t hear her. Things are much better now.” ●If you are over 50, you can book a free hearing test at bootshearingcare.com ‘‘ It will protect what hearing you have left, don’t worry what people might think BENEFIT Peter enjoys being part of the conversation again I heard footie chants for the first time with hearing aids HEYDAY A save against Leeds in 1993 GLORY DAYS Lifting the UEFA fi nal trophy in 1999 Former Man United keeper Peter Schmeichel tells Adrian Monti why the device has been a game-changer

I had to stop exercising again. I had spent so long improving my health and now I was faced with this.” Alison was referred straight for an ultrasound and a knee aspiration. “This involved doctors removing bright orange fluid from my knee during a painful procedure, before being given a steroid injection which gave quick relief,” she said. She was even able to return to the gym, though she was limited to walking on the treadmill, but she became aware she could no longer grip weights like before. Blood tests then showed she was positive for the rheumatoid factor. Alison asked the consultant if she had the autoimmune condition. “It’s hard to explain how I felt when I was first diagnosed, no one came out and told me,” Alison said. “It was never put in writing. But by that point, I’d had multiple blood tests and appointments, so it wasn’t a surprise. “I was hopeful I could start medication and find some let up from the pain now there was a diagnosis. It’s only when I was months down the line and dealing with RA on a day-to-day basis that I began to realise how life changing it was.” She was determined to make the best of it though. “The weights I used got lighter but I wasn’t giving up,” Alison said. “Once diagnosed, I was told I will need daily medication as there is no cure. “Some days my five-year-old daughter has to help me get dressed and I have to use a wooden spoon to open my microwave. “I replaced my kettle with a hot water dispenser because I couldn’t lift the kettle safely. I bought jar openers and now use an electric tin opener. I don’t store heavy bottles in my fridge door as it makes it too heavy to open. I bought a food processor to save me from chopping vegetables. I now use a shampoo brush to help wash my hair when my fingers are too sore and wear bras without hooks to fasten. I walk Amelie to school rather than drive because I struggle to fasten our seat belts.” Some days are better than others. The pain can come and go on unexpectedly but a year after diagnosis, Alison is striving to reduce her symptoms. She’s returned to personal training, rebranding herself as BodyProud With Alison and adapting how she teaches by moving her services online. She recently started a biologic medication, which she self-injects in her leg or stomach every fortnight via the NHS’s Sciensus scheme. It can take three months to see any improvement but she’s hopeful. As well as her prescribed medication, Alison has tried alternatives to help improve her condition, including red light therapy, infrared saunas, CBD (Cannabidiol) balm, turmeric, collagen and fasting. She said: “I am striving to find a way to heal and reduce my symptoms. This isn’t the life I envisaged for myself but I’m enjoying exploring the options and raising awareness.” a super fit er, now ve year as to me ressed MANAGING RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS Alison said her experience with the condition has taught her the following... ■Lifestyle is medicine. Don’t just rely on prescriptions, try making lifestyle changes to help improve your symptoms ■Rest and sleep are essential. Pace yourself through the day to avoid exhaustion. Fatigue is one of the most debilitating symptoms, so it’s important to not overdo it ■Advocate for yourself, don’t be afraid to ask questions about your condition, tests and medication ■Talk to others that understand. I found Facebook groups for people with RA really helpful for getting advice about symptoms and medication ■Limit alcohol and sugar and eat a variety of fruit and vegetables. I make sure I eat plenty of protein each day and supplement with collagen and MCT oil to support my muscles, joints and gut health ■ Consider fasting. There is evidence to support it reduces inflammation. It can also help improve your mood and depression, something which is common in sufferers of RA ■ Don’t be afraid of alternative therapies, I use a grounding bed sheet, red light therapy and infrared saunas to help reduce inflammation. Next on my list to try is cryotherapy. ■Stay active – keeping moving and exercising are as important as not overdoing it POSITIVE ATTITUDE Alison has tried many therapies for her condition Edited by AMY PACKER overdoing it ‘‘ I walk Amelie to school because I struggle to fasten our car seatbelts ressed e tellsTiffany Wallis arned to cope with thritis in her forties She recently started a biologic medication, EXERCISING WITH RHEUMATWOID ARTHRITIS Alison’s personal training experience has helped her adjust her workouts since her diagnosis. She advises: ■Adapt your routine to support limitations rather than giving up. When I was first diagnosed, I had to stop running due to swelling and pain in my knee, so I walked on an incline treadmill instead. I also bought lifting hooks to help me continue lifting weights ■Go for a walk and get fresh air. This will boost your mood and keep you active. Take a friend for extra support if needed. On days when this feels like too much, just sitting outside and getting some morning daylight will boost your mood ■Add some stretching/ mobility work to your routine. Some days are more challenging than others but some simple stretching, even in a chair, can limit pain and stiffness ■Strength training is essential as we age. Using some light dumbbells at home for 10/15 minutes is enough ADAPT Adjust your routine to support your limitations

You want to think things over before speaking out. That’s why you will change the subject when others obviously want to discuss it. You aren’t being stubborn or unreasonable. You just need more time. SOMEONE you thought you could rely on will decide to make changes without giving you any kind of warning. You are starting to wonder whether you can really trust them. You seem to have little choice but to accept new arrangements put forward by your boss or a person in power. SOMEONE you are spending a lot of time with is bored. That’s why they’re so irritable at the moment. Since you’ve never been much of a stickler for routine, you won’t mind considering any unusual suggestions they may make. You will even have a few to suggest of your own. YOU don’t feel ready to face up to the reality of a difficult situation. You have been ignoring what has been going on. You’re reluctant to open your eyes because you know you won’t like what you see. Soon it will not be possible to keep your head buried in the sand. YOU have been putting too much trust in what was once a professional and trustworthy institution. It is becoming apparent now that some people within this organisation are not reliable. You can’t work out what is true as you have heard so many different accounts of the same situation. CHALLENGES that come your way are largely due to the fact that someone persists in keeping useful information to themselves. Not everyone is as helpful, careful or as diligent as you and it’s hard to forgive a so-called friend for deliberately keeping something important from you. IF YOU aren’t willing to spend time dealing with a financial or career matter, someone else will step in and make these decisions for you. Initially, you will be happy to give them carte blanche. They will take advantage and will not necessarily take action with which you agree. YOU’RE so popular and in demand that there will be a few times when you will really wish that you could be in two places at the same time. Still, one way to give out some of the advice that people are requesting is to send your thoughts via text message or contained in an email. BEFORE reacting to someone’s suggestions on how to improve your work, plans or ideas, think about what they have to say. They aren’t trying to make you doubt yourself. They are trying to help. If you take up their suggestions, this will speed up your progress. DON’T let feelings of guilt overwhelm you when you receive an offer, award or prize you had expected to go to someone else. While it is true that your gain is their loss, you won this fair and square and should celebrate accordingly. Be proud of your achievements. A HEART-TO-HEART conversation with someone you trust will give you the boost you need to make some lifestyle changes. Their words will make sense and will help alleviate thinking patterns that held you back in the past. An exciting offer will be accepted.

He’s a really nice boy, so I have no problem with him as a person. However, recently she’s been asking if he can stay over here on a Friday night, as they usually go out after college with their friends and she says it makes sense for him to “crash” at ours, as we live nearby. So far, I’ve said no and it’s caused a few arguments. I’m not stupid enough to think they’re not having sex but I don’t know if I’m comfortable about them doing it under my roof. My husband thinks I’m a dinosaur and that we should let them stay over together in her room but so far I’ve managed to avoid it. I’d love some advice on this – am I a “dinosaur” or is it OK not to want them sleeping together here? She says her boyfriend’s mother would happily let them stay over at her house but it makes no sense as her boyfriend has a single bed and they live too far away. She is my eldest child, so I have never been faced with this issue before. Coleen says THIS one comes around for all parents at some point. I don’t want to say you’re a dinosaur because I know lots of people who feel the same way and I think it’s perhaps a lot to do with the attitudes you’ve been brought up with yourself. In terms of my kids, it was never a case of them bringing different people home but if they were in a relationship, then my attitude was, I’d rather it was under my roof than anywhere else. I probably felt that even more so with my daughter. Perhaps that’s the reason why your husband is more open to the idea. One strategy you could take would be to say: “Listen, this is difficult for me but if I agree to it, I really don’t want to hear any swinging from the chandeliers or anything else.” In all the years my kids have had their partners here, I’ve never heard a squeak coming from their rooms. Your daughter has been with her boyfriend for a year so, you’re right, it’s either already happening or it’s going to happen. Personally, I’d rather it happened under my roof instead of someone else’s. In my experience, once you get over the first night, you’ll actually start to enjoy them being with you. You’ll hear them come home and talk about their night out and see them chatting together over breakfast in the morning. I’ve always had a houseful of young people and I love having them here. I think it’s kept me young and it’s a lot of fun. Your daughter will also feel safe, loved and respected by you. “ My husband thinks I am a dinosaur for saying no I don’t want my daughter having sex in my house YOU have played a valuable part in getting a community venture underway. Good news about this project will give you a lot to be proud about. Your leadership skills are to be admired. Don’t be surprised if you are asked to set up a similar scheme elsewhere.


DAILY RECORD Tuesday, June 11, 2024 MORE AT DAILYRECORD.CO.UK PAGE 29 THE MOTORWAY HOTEL Channel 5, 7pm WITH a glorious view of the UK’s longest motorway, luxury manor house The Moat House is just yards from the M6 in Staffordshire. But that only makes it more popular. The family-run business relies on the motorway, which brings with it a steady stream of commuters, motorists, locals and road workers – along with conferences and wedding parties. Juggling 41 rooms, a wedding business, restaurant and bar, there’s never a dull moment. This fly-on-thewall series follows Chris Lewis and his wife Dawn, who have recently handed over control of The Moat House to their daughter Emily, as they and the staff deal with the stresses and strains of managing the place. The hotel is preparing for Valentine’s night, as head chef James invents a new menu to try to tempt loved-up couples in for dinner. And regular Greg, the local motorway breakdown rescue driver, struggles to get a lane closed to recover an elderly couple from the side of the M6 as traffic flies past him at 70mph. INSIDE TRACK Staf at The Moat House JUDGES Esme and Patrick THE GREAT BRITISH SEWING BEE BBC1, 9pm NOT every woman would let someone chop up their wedding dress – but these sewers have some very understanding family members. As they hit Reduce, Reuse and Recycle week, the big task is to take wedding dresses and repurpose them into an outfit fit for a party. They can cut, dye and even paint the dress. Marcus’s wife handed hers over. He says: “I’m just glad that she’s so supportive of me chopping it up.” Will she get to wear it for a party? Nope, he’s turning it into menswear. Luke’s mum will at least get her wedding dress back. He’s going full shoulder pad as he transforms it into an 80s-inspired dress that she might wear on a night out in Manchester. In the other tasks, judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young ask them to make a quilted bag with scraps of coloured fabric. They must also turn unloved clothing abandoned as textile waste into something new and exciting. Diving into danger ATTEMPTED MURDER MyAnna Buring plays Victoria THE FALL: SKYDIVE MURDER PLOT Channel 4, 9pm IT’S a true story so unbelievable that it could be straight from the pages of a murder mystery novel. O n East er Sunday 2015, experienced skydiver Victoria Cilliers leapt out of a plane for a jump organised by her husband Emile. But this routine jump quickly became a nightmare as Victoria’s main and reserve parachutes both failed, sending her hurtling straight into the ground. Despite falling around 4,000ft from the sky into a field, miraculously she survived. The mum-of-two suffered spinal and internal injuries, a broken pelvis and five broken ribs. Paramedics on the scene arrived with a body bag, assuming this was a fatality – the accident should have killed her. But it soon became clear this was not a terrible accident at all – this was attempted murder. And the number one suspect was her husband. This true-crime docudrama series features Ripper Street and The Responder actress MyAnna Buring as Victoria, weaving together drama taken verbatim from the police interviews, court transcripts and other materials, alongside archive news reports and interviews with those close to the case. Rob Camps, Club Secretary at Netheravon Airfield, recalls: “It looked like a bag of washing was above and it looked pretty sickening watching it.” We al so hear from dogged detectives, DC Maddy Hennah and DI Paul Franklin, who spent years investigating Emile’s life, revealing affairs, debts, sex clubs, escorts and murderous intent. And the big draw is Victoria herself who’s exclusively interviewed as she decides to tell her story.

Stock markets in France and elsewhere in Europe also fell sharply. Shares in London were caught up in the sell-off too. Investors were spooked by Macron’s move after his centrist alliance was trounced by Marine Le Pen’s far-right movement in the European parliamentary vote. Making a risky gamble to reestablish authority, Macron called a parliamentary election with a first round on June 30. The euro tumbled against the pound, which strengthened to more than €1.18. It also fell 0.5 per cent to a one-month low against the dollar. The weaker single currency reduces the cost of imports from the eurozone and continental holidays, but potentially makes UK-made goods more expensive in Europe. Russ Mould, investment director at City firm AJ Bell, said: “This injects a big dose of the uncertainty which markets hate.” The gap between the yield – interest rate – on French as well as German governments bonds widened yesterday. Financial stocks were among the worst performers on the FTSE 100, with Barclays and NatWest Group in the top 10 fallers earlier in the day. Analysts said the shift to the hard right could derail attempts to deepen EU integration.

The gelding likes this venue so he can regain the winning thread back over three miles. BERRY CLEVER (8.30) looks tasty for Chris Dwyer in the Webb Handicap at Wetherby. The three-year-old returned to form when third to Mart over six furlongs at Newmarket. The gelding was staying on very strongly so he can land a weaker contest back up in trip. magical for Greenall & Guerriero in the handicap hurdle. Impressive at Ludlow, the five-year-old was unlucky to meet Barrons Land at Sedgefield. That was another strong contest so the mare can continue her yard’s tremendous run. HOBB’S DELIGHT (6.05) can terrify his foes for Neil Mullholland in the staying hurdle. The eight-year-old wasn’t Getbazoutofhere at Hereford. The mare is open to plenty of progress as a stayer so she can shade a tricky contest. BETHPAGE (4.55) looks above-par for Emma Lavelle in the mares’ handicap hurdle. The six-year-old stayed upwardly mobile when defeating Mactavish at Ludlow. The bay handled stepping up to 2m 4f well so she can shrug off a reasonable 4lb penalty. MRS TABITHA (5.30) looks target for Jonathan Portman in the Shipseys Handicap. The speedster looked better than ever when chinning On Edge on his return at Windsor. The grey is fairly treated so he can land another trappy event under Rob Hornby. ANNIE WICKS (2.15) is the name to remember in the handicap chase at Southwell. Evan Williams’ horse stayed 3m1 well when second to QUIETNESS (5.07) can silence his rivals in the competitive Margardale Handicap at Salisbury. The filly showed class and guts to deny Budding on debut for Marcus Tregoning at Windsor. The four-year-old looks nicely unexposed on turf so she can follow up for her thriving yard. CAYMAN TAI (2.00) can deservedly open his account for Richard Hannon, while STRIKE (5.42) can hit the WATCH THE QUIET ONE BY GARRY OWEN MAKING MARC Tregoning GOING: Good to Firm. COURSE: Right-handed galloping track of 1m 2f, the uphill fnish makes for a stiff test. DRAW: Low numbers best up to 1m, except on soft ground when high numbers best.

We’re competitive people and patience and that don’t really go too well together. “Golf is frustrating when the results aren’t there. “It’s trying to detach yourself from the results as much as possible and within reason. You’ve just got to trust the right things and feel you are improving each day. If that’s the case, the results will hopefully come. “Most of us golfers and most sports people, you need to be hard on yourself to an extent or you are not going to get any better. “It’s a case of trying to make sure it doesn’t drag out and let it feed into the next day or the next week. “It’s about picking yourself up and focusing on what you need to do.” Forrest, who played at The Open in 2013 and 2018 in his two previous Major outings, is determined to do well for himself and for Scotland. With no Scot at this year’s Masters for the first time since 1984 and only M a c I n t y r e m a k i n g t h e USPGA, the East L o t h i a n s t a r ’ s qualification for Pinehurst is a boost. Forrest insists golf current’s set-up makes it tough for the Tartan clan as he said: “Without sounding as though I am making excuses, we are now up against it massively with the Official World Golf Ranking system in terms of getting into the Majors. “It’s very difficult, almost impossible, to get into the Top 50 through our tour now without gaining a PGA Tour card. “Matthieu Pavon is probably the best example. I think he was outside the top 200 going into the Dunhill last year then ended up having a great finish to the season and going out to the US and winning his second or third event. “So it shows that, if you are good enough to do really well on our tour, you are good enough to do well on the PGA Tour.” as he said: “Without sounding as though I am making excuses, we are now up against it massively with the Official World Golf Ranking system in terms of getting into the Majors. “It’s very difficult, almost impossible, to get into the Top 50 through our tour now without “Matthieu Pavon is probably the best example.

The Scot heads to Pinehurst looking for a Major performance on his tournament debut. Forrest joins Bob MacIntyre flying the flag for Scotland having come through qualifying last month at Walton Heath. Headlines from the last Major dramatically centred around Scottie Scheffler being led away in handcuffs during the USPGA Championship at Valhalla. The road-traf fic incident temporarily put the brakes on the world No.1’s remarkable season – but Forrest is having a more positive experience with the law going into the 124th US Open. The 30-year-old is in the right mindset for the challenge having had helpful talks with figures outside of the game. Forrest lifted the lid on talking to various figures away from the sport to aid his approach as he said: “I like just s p e a k i n g t o s u c c e s s f u l people outside of golf because the mentality is generally the same. “For example, Glen Gilson, from Gilson Gray, is a member at The Renaissance Club after being a Craigielaw member as well. He’s become a bit of a mentor. “He’s obviously running one of the biggest law firms in Scotland now and he’s got a very good mindset, helping me out with what it takes to be a high performer. “You come across some people who are extremely successful in their field and they tend to be able to pick up anything and do it well because of their mindset. “It’s the way they think, the way they motivate themselves. The way they do things on a day-to-day basis is the reason they’ve become successful. “In golf, it’s trying to be realistic and take the positives when they are there and pick yourself back up when you have to. “The results do matter but it’s You come across folk who are successful in their field.

His five wins have come at the Masters, The Players’ Championships and three Signature Events – Memorial, RBC Heritage and API. Scheffler is the first won a record $21,014,342 (£16.5m) in the whole of last year and his career earnings, at the age of 27, are $66,589,782 (£52.2m) – seventh on the all-time list.

It’s good to be back on the grass. “I played point by point and I gave myself the best chance to win the game.” Two-time Wimbledon champ Murray will set up a clash with Draper if he can get past American Marcos Giron in the first round in Stuttgart today. JACK DRAPER got his grasscourt season off to a winning start at the Stuttgart Open and set up a possible meeting with Andy Murray. The British No.2, ranked 40 in the world, began preparations for his home slam at Wimbledon with a 7-6 7-6 win over Austrian Sebastian Ofner. He said: “When it came Draper Of to good start and could face Murray win over world No.1 Ja n n i c k S i n n e r a n d Olympic champion Alex Zverev in the final. “The lesson I learned from this tournament is that mental strength wins you matches,” he said. “It’s not enough to play brilliantly, to play your best tennis, if I want to win. If you are not strong in your head, you will not win a Grand Slam, no matter your level. If you are physically perfect, you play the tennis of your life, but if you are not strong in the head, you will not succeed.” He will next defend his Queen’s Club title before bidding to become only the sixth man in the Open era – after Rod Laver, Bjorn B org , R afa el Na d al , Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic – to win the French Open-Wimbledon double in the same season. And at the Australian Open in January, he will get the chance to join more elite company by completing his career Grand Slam. “The Grand Slams are obviously part of our aims,” his fellow Spaniard Ferrero said. “Whatever tournament, Carlos is going to be among the favourites. He must remain relaxed.” CARLOS ALCARAZ’S coach has warned the Spanish superstar has yet to reach his “full potential” after he won his third Grand Slam aged only 21 at the French Open. A n d t h e s m i l i n g Wimbledon champion said he will “hopefully” equal the record of 24 Major titles held by Novak Djokovic. John McEnroe hailed Alcaraz’s talent and claimed: “He’s better than Federer, Nadal and Djokovic at 21.” The world No.2 already has the all-round game to become the youngest man to win Grand Slam titles on three different surfaces. But the scary prospect for the rest of the sport is that his coach Juan Carlos Ferrero has claimed the best is still to come. “He can get better in a lot of things,” said the 2003 French Open winner. “He has not achieved his full potential – he is a long way from that. “We are looking to find this mental stability which he lacks so he can maintain a very high level throughout.

Gourlay’s Giffnock North club-mate Erin Wallace reached the 800m semis with fifth place. NEIL GOURLEY confessed he’d had to stay alert to book his spot in the men’s 1500 metres final in Rome. The Glaswegian, 29, won his opening heat in 3:44.05 after opting to only fly in from his base in Arizona 48 hours earlier. “I need a sleep, I am still jetlagged,” he said. “It went fine so I can sleep between now and the final.

It’s a really big driving force for me.” Even though McColgan has the qualifying standard for Paris, she knows there’s an urgent need to prove her fitness if she wants a spot on the plane to France. It’s been a massive race against the clock to get back in the game with Scots rival Megan Keith booking her ticket by winning last month’s trials in London while McColgan was still on the sidelines. “I’ve obviously had a long time out … over a year,” she said. “I’m just hoping this will be a competitive enough performance to show I’m on that trajectory towards Paris. And I really feel like I am.” Last night Briton Molly Caudery won bronze in the women’s pole vault. Switzerland’s Angelica Moser’s mark of 4.78m pushed Katerina Stefanidi into second place. Charlie Dobson grabbed silver in the men’s 400m with a PB of 44.38 secs. He was edged out by Belgian Alexander Doom (44.15). EILISH McCOLGAN intends to turn heartache into h eroics at th e European Championships tonight with a good luck charm given to her by her late granny. The Dundonian, 33, can bring a year of pain – on and off the track – to an end with a challenge for glory in the 10,000 metres final in Rome. It caps a fren etic comeback for the fourtime Euro medallist who has only had one low-key outing in the past 14 months due to a knee issue. During that period, she suffered the loss of stepdad John, before the double blow of beloved granny Betty’s passing last month.

The 45-year-old, who won 118 caps, said: “It’s obvious to me that, rather than publish this very clear and detailed judgement which exonerates me, Cricket Scotland is once again running scared of the small ‘anti-racist’ cabal which has exerted such a malign influence over our sport. “My life has been on hold for too long and it’s time that the truth is finally told about one of the biggest sporting scandals of recent times.

Every cap is hard-earned. But his form for Celtic – which secured a new contract having spent last season on loan at Aberdeen – is too good to ignore and interim boss John O’Shea knows it. Scales arrived into camp on a high after Celtic’s dramatic Scottish Cup Final win over rivals Rangers – with Ireland team-mate Adam Idah scoring the 90th-minute winner. Scales said: “I just want to go into next year and have the same sort of season, playing regularly and being successful, winning trophies. “I have enjoyed almost every minute as it was a great step to cement myself in the team at Celtic.” And Scales feels he has thrived under the unique pressure at Celtic where fans demand victory in every game.

That can only happen if you are in the Champions League, something his club isn’t too familiar with.” Gordon Ashley, Ayr, said: “Rangers fans are coming up with comical excuses for Celtic’s vastly superior Champions League record, so let’s hear their excuse as to why Celtic continually beat them at Ibrox, Parkhead and Hampden under every manager they can throw at us.” Okay, let’s finish with some international positivity. But forget the Euros for a moment. Anyone for cricket? Scott Gowers, Edinburgh, said: “Scotland have a major chance of qualifying for the last eight in the T20 World Cup at the expense of current world champions England. Beating or drawing with Australia would see us through. There is also a scenario where England win both games and Scotland lose to Australia that Scotland can still qualify. “Qualification would be well deserved after getting 90-0 against England after only 10 overs before being rained off and only getting one point.” SCOTLAND may be gearing up for a Euros party but there were domestics flaring up all across the Hotline. Even with the transfer window being days away from officially opening, Rangers and Celtic fans are getting impatient. Jimmy Mac, Glasgow, said: “What is it with the Rangers board selling players at a loss so often? Now they’re selling Sam Lammers for a reported £1m loss. “Lammers cost £3.5million and reports are Rangers are asking £2.5m? After the half season Lammers had in Netherlands, Rangers should be looking at making a profit, not a loss.” Gerry White isn’t impressed with Rangers’ loan with obligation to buy deal for Oscar Cortes. He emailed: “It highlights the dire state of Rangers finances when they are reduced to buying players on tick. Where are they going to get £5million next year if they don’t have it now? It’s not as if they are going to win anything next year. The SFA should stop this kind of immoral practice.” Meanwhile, Celtic fan Gerard Milligan, Renfrewshire, is concerned about the goalkeeping position at Parkhead with no replacement yet signed for the retired Joe Hart. He said: “Celtic have known for three months that Hart was going, so they’ve had all that time to pick out targets. Why is there no one in the door yet? “I’d also like to know what Benjamin Siegrist has done to be ignored by two managers for three years – not even rotating with Scott Bain on the bench.” It wasn’t long before the calls descended into another Old Firm sledging fest.

Now you realise why he’s got two left feet! “But I like the fact he’s scoring more now than his early days. “I wouldn’t put him in the same bracket but he’s got that kind of Frank Lampard thing of knowing when to arrive in the box. “He’s so powerful but he’s also got the quality. And his left peg is an absolute hammer too. “I know he’ll never score the number of goals Frank did but I just think whatever role you ask him to do, he’ll do a great job. “You could play him at left-back, centre-back, he’d do brilliantly. Ask him to play at No.9 and he’d get a hold of the ball for the team. “He’s a talented player with such great physical attributes.

Since then though, he’s surpassed everybody’s expectations. “He deserves everything he gets because he’s the modern-day street football bull in the centre of the pitch. He’s unique.

The Scotland Under-21 boss reckons it is vital in Steve Clarke’s 26-man group because of the increased number of subs in games these days. When Gemmill was a player, he was named in Craig Brown’s 22-man squads for Euro 96 and the World Cup in 1998. But because there were only three subs allowed then, Gemmill didn’t make an appearance at either tournament. However, he reckons every single one of Clarke’s stars have a part to play and there’s no chance of any of them spitting the dummy out if not involved. Gemmill said: “It’s crucial to have the right mentality. “But I think any concern is under control because the players wouldn’t be selected if there was any danger of that. “These kinds of players don’t get to this level in my opinion. “Of course it’s important and the staff try to control that at all levels all the way down to 15s. It’s obviously the same at club level too. “It’s something that all the staff need to contribute to and be conscious of it. “But I do feel the players are much more aware of squad rotation and accepting of it, even at club level now – the use of squads are regular. “Most teams are changing their line-up from week to week and the players know that. And even about playing the full 90 and the usage of more subs. “There’s no doubt that it does help teams be more successful if everyone is heading in the right direction. “I don’t think it was a problem then either in 1996 and 1998. I think you would have to go back further. It was probably a problem in ’78 rather than ’98! “The players understand they won’t play every minute.

We can’t let their dynamism develop in the game. “We have to enjoy possession and we now have a master at that in Toni Kroos. “That gives us a completely different dimension and it will allow us to exert pressure on Scotland.” Havertz is favourite to start up front for the Germans on Friday, with Fullkrug likely to make an impact from the bench. The processes in place against Greece in our last game that will prepare us for Scotland. “And I’m excited to see how the coaches will prepare us for Friday. “I saw Scotland’s last game and they performed a little differently to what I expected. “They have an intense style of play and they play aggressive football. We all know that. But they also started very high and pressed high. “Against us, in phases I expect them to drop a bit deeper. “But we have a few more days to prepare for that. And hopefully in this game it will mainly be our performance that counts and not our opponents. “We don’t want to just look at who we’re playing against. “The energy and attention should all be with us. This approaches the tournament curtain-raiser? That seems unlikely. Because as one of the favourites for a Euros in their own backyard – it’s all about how THEY perform and no one else. Fullkrug, who is just off the back of a Champions League Final defeat to Real Madrid at Wembley, can’t wait to face the Scots. He’s battling it out with Arsenal frontman Kai Havertz for a starting slot against Clarke’s boys. But rather than focus on the problems Scotland might cause Germany, he believes if they turn up on the night, there will only be one outcome. Fullkrug said: “We’ve prepared a bit for the Scotland game, we’ve tried to adapt a few things for a specific opponent. “We tried to put interesting EURO BITE DIDIER DESCHAMPS (France) could potentially tie-break or beat Ronaldo’s record for most appearances at the Euros (25) if player and boss stats are counted together.

That’s where John McGinn showed everyone his dance moves. All we need now is for Super John to score against the Germans and pull off that dance in celebration.

So when the players set off for training yesterday, it probably felt more Blantyre than Bavaria. This Alpine retreat is just over an hour from Munich, which is where we had to go to collect our accreditation. Unfortunately for yours truly, there was a problem. UEFA didn’t take note of the middle name on my passport so I have to go through security checks again. I had to return to Garmisch without the pass I needed – and with the prospect of another trek in a few days’ time. Surely nothing else could go wrong? Well, the rain threatened to ruin local mayor Elisabeth Koch’s big welcome. It was Planes, trains & automobiles but finally we arrived MURNAU Station in Bavaria. It’s 10.21pm and the last train has gone. There are no more buses to GarmischPartenkirchen and the taxi rank is empty. In fact the only vehicles on the town’s one main road are tractors. A growl of thunder rumbles in the air as the sky turns black. And suddenly, your Record Sport reporters are starting to wonder if they’ll spend the night sleeping against a vending machine. This, after a journey from Glasgow that had already taken in two flights and four trains. What a start to Euro 2024. But then we think about what Steve Clarke said last week. This isn’t the time for Negative Normans. We’re in Germany with Scotland for a major tournament. Positivity is the key here. For once, we’re fuelled by optimism. And just like that, a rescue act. Jennifer, who works for the US Military, is also trying to get to Garmisch – the Scottish team’s base camp. She manages to get us a taxi and pulls off a save Angus Gunn would be proud of. We got here late on Friday night but through the street lights, there were posters with Saltires. Clearly, the arrival of Clarke’s squad is a major event. And on Saturday morning, the sheer beauty of our surroundings became evident. The Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain, was glistening in the sun. This picturesque toytown seems to be the perfect base for Clarke’s team. Even the weather is right up our street. One minute, it’s bright and sunny. The next, grey skies and torrential rain. Garmisch-Partenkirchen is officially one of the One minute it’s bright and sunny. Then grey skies and torrential rain OUR MAN SCOTT’S EURO DIARY SCOTLAND McDERMOTT a bit turbulent, I hoped it would be more relaxed. “I have respect for the German trains but I came from Hanover where I was visiting family but because a few trains were cancelled, mine was double or triple occupied. “So it felt like I was on a high school study trip and sat in a social group and played a little question and answer game with some boys. “It was fun and definitely not boring. The time went by quicker than I expected! “The world will be looking at us on Friday – I experienced that at Wembley too. “We are the centre of it and we can show the world our good football. “That’s the challenge but it’s also a big opportunity for us and I’m really looking forward to it. “I just hope that we play a good game against Scotland.” break all season, especially with Dortmund reaching that showpiece in the Champions League. Even his journey to the German training camp was a slog – due to flooding in the country which has affected their rail network. So much so, he found himself playing games with a group of students on his way to meeting up with the rest of the squad. But now, with just a few days to go, he can’t wait to get started against the Scots. He said: “My journey here was energy in the squad. It’s good for a squad to have two different types of striker. “Kai is totally different to me, he plays a different game. That’s a good situation for the coach. “We have two strikers who have consistently played against toplevel defenders this season. “I’ve played in the Champions League Final and I had a good season in the Bundesliga. “Kai got better and better at Arsenal as the season went on. “It’s great for the national team to have two players and we both have a healthy self-confidence. “Because against a lot of good defenders this season, we’ve shown up well for our clubs. “I don’t think many teams are looking forward to facing our attack – not only Kai and myself but the other players too because we have a special level of quality in the team.” Fullkrug has barely had a Arsenal man got them back into their 2-1 friendly win over Greece last week after a poor first-half showing that saw them trailing by a goal. Fullkrug is well aware of what his role in the squad is after a pep talk from Nagelsmann. And he believes very few teams in Europe will be able to live with a frontline that also includes the likes of Leroy Sane, Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz. He said: “Everyone wants to play as much as possible but Kai has my maximum support. “I wish him every goal he can score because it’s for us as a country, a nation, a team. “We have a chance to have a really good feeling in this tournament. “I have to accept it but also see it as motivation to get playing time for my country. “It’s important that we all stay positive, even the boys on the bench because that creates EURO BITE DENMARK could extend their record for the most matches lost – they currently hold the record with 17 defeats.

But it certainly doesn’t feel that way. On the contrary, everything about this Scotland set-up feels refreshingly genuine and from the heart. And one look at Clarke’s record in competitive matches – 15 wins from the last 21 – is a reminder of how these players have learned to peak when the pressure is on them. Carver said: “They can flick a switch. It’s like one day you have a bad training session and the next day you come in and it’s like a totally different group of players. “The fact we have three really good days leading into it now means we can get down to some real work. When I say real work, obviously when you because we asked for water on the pitch and they refused. “It is their prerogative but Wales had the same problems we had. It slows the play down. It is a leveller and I get why they tried to do it. We still won it 2-0 and we could have won 5-0 with the chances we had. “Then we went into the Finland game and I thought the first half was pretty even but we had plenty of possession and came out in the second half and we upped it, which was good. And we got to a period where we said we need to get certain guys on the pitch to give them minutes. “We got to 60 minutes and were in control but then we have to start thinking about planning and making sure everyone is right going into the first game. To have everyone not to take any real notice of it because, at the end of the day, it is about what happens at the end of the Euros. It’s about our preparation for that. “Look at England’s result against Iceland. Look at France against Canada. There are always results where you are thinking, for example, that France should beat Canada comfortably, but they haven’t. “There will be a reason for it – they might have been trying a few different things, they might have been trying a few different players. “I get the fact you need to go into a tournament with confidence but let’s not forget we went to Gibraltar and won 2-0 and Wales went there and drew 0-0. “It is not an excuse but the environment was not right however, Clarke and Carver will begin drawing up their battle plans for the Group A opener behind closed doors. What comes next, is really all that matters. Which is precisely why the coaching team remains so upbeat despite a recent run of results and performances which have done so much to put a dampener on the buildup to what could yet become a long hot summer at the Euros. Carver seemed particularly keen to stress yesterday that Scotland’s planning has been timed to perfection, despite the disappointing nature of last week’s big send-off against the Finns and the feelings of gloom it has left behind. He said: “You’re always going to get that. We just have to be strong enough and hard enough ALPetite for destruction Scots ready to whip up a storm in rain-lashed Bavaria as phoney war ends KEITH JACKSON AT THE SCOTLAND TRAINING CAMP IN BAVARIA EURO BITE Germany’s Julian Nagelsmann is set to become the youngest ever coach in a Euro finals match. He’ll be 36 years and 327 days old when Scotland come calling on Friday. Srecko Katanec (Slovenia) was 36 years and 333 days when his side played Yugoslavia at Euro 2000. JOHN CARVER admits he and Scotland boss Steve Clarke struggled to sleep before deciding the two players who would be axed from the Euros squad at the last minute. Leaving John Souttar behind was bad enough. But, after committing 20 years of national service, the task of telling Craig Gordon not to pack for Bavaria was, according to Carver, the most difficult Clarke has faced. The coach confirmed: “I would say it was probably one of the hardest decisions he’s had to make in his life in football. “With both Craig and John, it was extremely difficult and more so for Craig because of his history and his background. “I’ve only known Craig for four years but he’s been in the national team for 20. “The emotion you feel is incredible. It was a horrendous decision to have to make. “We had sleepless nights just thinking about it because two guys are going to lose out. But the good thing is it wasn’t a phone conversation. It was done face-to-face. You could look them in the eye and do it properly.” And Carver insists the 11th hour cut doesn’t necessarily signal the end of Gordon’s Scotland career. He added: “I’m sure he’ll think his international career is not over and he should think this way. “He’ll be like, ‘OK, I’ll show you!’.” LONG SERVICE Craig Gordon Sleepless nights over decision to chop duo BY KEITH JACKSON THEY left Hampden Park under a bit of a cloud after Finland on Friday night. And yesterday Scotland’s players pulled the boots back on amidst driving rain storms in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. But Steve Clarke and righthand man John Carver remain in the sunniest of dispositions as the clock ticks down to the point when all of this tournament groundwork will finally count for something. For them, the phoney war is over at last. Friday night in Munich is all there is left to focus on now that their base camp has been established here at the foot of the Bavarian Alps and the serious business of preparing to tackle the Germans in their own backyard can begin. Yesterday was the last of the light-hearted stuff – a public training session put on for the locals in the effort to win hearts and minds. From this morning, THE THRILLS ARE ALIVE Scotland stars are put through their paces in Bavaria
