    Amrik Singh was told that Rush in Mansfield had a "no headwear" policy.

    Mr Singh recorded himself explaining that his turban is a religious requirement, but was then told: "I didn't think you were allowed to drink anyway."

    The venue's management has apologised and said staff involved faced suspension pending an investigation.

    Derby played the final eight minutes a man light after Tom Huddlestone was sent off for two fouls on Lee Tomlin.

    They had been on top in the match but are now seven league games without a win and 11 points off the top two.

    Forest keeper Costel Pantilimon's double save from David Nugent and Tom Lawrence was the closest either side came to scoring at the City Ground.

    A baby from Nottingham, who was born with her heart outside her chest, is recovering from surgery to have the organ put back inside her body.

    Vanellope Wilkins, who underwent the procedure at Glenfield Hospital in Leicester, was given less than a 10% chance of survival when she was born in November.

    She is the first baby in the UK to survive the rare condition. Her parents have said she's living proof that miracles can happen.
