Game of four halves as Armadale are forced to play TWICE in one day

It is high noon in Armadale. The kick-off for Thistle's first match of the day is in a couple of hours. A second, scheduled for 7.45pm, seems a long way off.

Here is the great @MarkKriegelcutting to the heart of the flawed Netflix series on Mike Tyson which misses so much and explains so little. If you want to really understand Tyson you need to read Mark's magisterial and gripping Baddest Man. It's the best boxing book in years...

This is an outstanding piece of journalism by @riathalsam on Ricky Hatton and what was left behind dailymail.com/sport/boxing/a…

RICKY HATTON'S MISSING MILLIONS: What happened to late boxer's '£40m'?

There's a small statue of a boxer in Ray and Carol Hatton's home. Perched on a table by the front door, the clay figurine of their son is nine inches tall and evokes a sadness impossible to measure.

How Blair Henderson went from scrapheap to GOAT status at TWO clubs

This is a peculiar tale of one city. It is the story of how an Edinburgh club devastated the dream of a young boy but how two teams in the capital redeemed him.

Who is your club's greatest ever player?

When looking for Edinburgh City's greatest player, it feels harsh to overlook the claim of record appearance holder Dougie Gair.
