Bloody hell, a shock to read this. He didn't look that old! He'll be greatly remembered in Scotland at least, and Tom English with a very nice piece about him here

Not surprising. TNT and Premier Sports both unlikely to put in a decent bid. Amazon and Netflix not wanting to nab the UK sports streaming yet

Women's Six Nations: Scotland celebrate hard-fought 24-19 victory over Wales (www.bbc.co.uk)
 

The women are under way for sure. France thumping Italy, and England thrashing Ireland. So not great surprises, but this was a thriller, worth watching the highlights at least!

Lanarkshire bakery taken over by employees (www.bbc.co.uk)
 

Fantastic news for Cumberbnauld. Mr Sword, I salute you. Now, how come I've never seen your products down the M8? An easy fix I'm sure now it is employee owned
