"There was a certain irony as retiring 19-time champion jockey AP McCoy returned to cheers after claiming his first win at his final Cheltenham Festival.

"After 11 defeats this week, the Northern Irishman produced a perfect front-running ride to claim the Ryanair Chase on Uxizandre for trainer Alan King and owner JP McManus.

"Who would have thought McCoy, the record-breaking winner of 4,300 races, would save the bookies with victory on an outsider?

"And Uxizandre had actually unseated Barry Geraghty in his last run, the Game Spirit Chase at Newbury - won by Mr Mole, ridden by McCoy, who announced his retirement afterwards."

Scotland centre Alex Dunbar is likely to miss the World Cup later this year, after being ruled out for between 6 and 9 months with a knee injury.

England's Test Squad for the Tour to the West Indies will be announced on either Tuesday or Wednesday next week.

The slight uncertainty is because they will have to wait on fitness scans for Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes, plus they want to consult Test captain Alastair Cook.

The main interest surrounds a possible recall for Jonathan Trott. If it happens, it would mark a first senior appearance since leaving the Ashes tour in Australia.

League One side Port Vale have re-signed Cardiff City midfielder Tommy O'Sullivan on loan until 14 April.

The 20-year-old was on loan at Vale Park earlier this season, making his only Valiants appearance from the bench against Walsall in mid-February.

Champion jockey AP McCoy, on his Cheltenham Festival farewell, has won his first race of the four-day meeting which began on Tuesday.

The 50-year-old is expected to deliver his first media conference as Rangers boss later today.

McCall, Scotland assistant coach, resigned as Motherwell manager in November after collecting just seven points from the first 12 games of the season and suffering cup defeats to Hamilton and Icelandic side Stjarnan.

Why are British clubs struggling so badly in Europe?

Rob Leighton: Clowns measuring quality of British football by "marketing, entertainment and goals" - the descent into showbiz nonsense

Ray O'Brien: English Teams had success from 2005-12. Premier League is now more competitive and demanding. Champions League rivals have it way too easy domestically.

Jon-Michael Foxall: Premier League isn't great. It's predictable. Six of top seven will finish the same. One random, who struggles following year due to Europe.

Hugh in France: Somebody should burn a football and put the ashes in a little urn. So sad.

Thanks for cheering us up Hugh.

Former Australia fast bowler Glenn McGrath has told the BBC that he expects England to lose the summer Ashes series 5-0 - because they don't have time to recover from the disappointment of their dismal World Cup.

"If you go back to the last Ashes series in Australia 18 months ago, they were beaten quite convincingly," said McGrath. "Then to play like this...

"There's only a Test series against the West Indies in between to really turn things around so I think they are going to find it pretty tough.

"I can't see why it won't be a 5-0 Aussie win. If Australia play like they did last summer I can't see England beating them."

Tony Zummack will lead the Scottish and British curling programmes up to and beyond the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.

The 47-year-old Canadian was formerly the head coach of the Scotland and GB wheelchair teams and helped guide Aileen Neilson's rink to bronze at last year's Sochi Paralympic Games.

Foxes gaffer Nigel Pearson has admitted the game with Hull is a match "we need to win".

"This is a game that a lot of people will see as being pivotal. It'll be difficult, as was the fixture at their place," Pearson said.

"There will be a few twists and turns before the end of the season, and we need to make sure that we stay in contact.

"It's a game that I imagine both sides will be trying to win. We certainly need to win it."

"He isn't available," says Pearson. "He is in France for family reasons.

"Apart from that we've got more or less a fit squad - other than Dean Hammond, who trained today."

Pearson confirms goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel is available.

Due to popular demand - well, a bloke in the office said he liked them - here are a few more unusual sporting injuries.

David James: Pulled a muscle in his back reaching for the television remote control.

Chic Brodie: The Brentford goalkeeper's career came to an abrupt end in October 1970 when he collided with a sheepdog which had run on to the pitch and shattered his kneecap. "The dog might have been a small one, but it happened to be a solid one," he reflected.

Alan Wright: The diminutive former Aston Villa full-back - height 5'4 - strained his knee stretching to reach the accelerator in his new Ferrari. He subsequently swapped it for a Rover 416.

Kirk Broadfoot: The Rangers defender scalded a cheek when an egg he had poached in the microwave blew up and squirted into his face.
