It's not often you win £130 from a £1 bet at 11/1.

But that's exactly what happened to a family from Houston in Renfrewshire, who have cashed in a bet on Red Rum winning the Grand National 43 years ago - after discovering an unclaimed betting slip.

Bob Holmes found evidence of the £1 bet while going through his late father-in-law's paperwork.

Through a shop code, William Hill found that the bet had been placed at odds of 11-1, meaning a payout of £12.

But the firm decided to add inflation, making it £130.

Game. Set. Match.

It's first blood to France after GB's Kyle Edmund is beaten 5-7 6-7 (6-8) 3-6 by Lucas Pouille in the Davis Cup quarter-final opener.

Up next, it's Dan Evans v Jeremy Chardy. Follow the action from that one here. 

After finishing second in their respective races at the Cheltenham Festival, both Fox Norton and Sub Lieutenant will hope to go one better in the Melling Chase, the big race of the day (15:25 BST) at Aintree.

The Colin Tizzard-trained Fox Norton was beaten narrowly by Special Tiara in the Queen Mother Champion Chase but steps up in trip for the 2m 4f race while Sub Lieutenant, from the Henry de Bromhead yard, was edged out by Un De Sceaux in the Ryanair Chase.

The pair are part of a field of nine for the race and last year's winner God's Own (pictured), who saw his Champion Chase hopes disappear with two bad mistakes, will aim for back-to-back wins for trainer Tom George.

Stoke City

He's not played for Stoke since 27 December - the Ivorian striker is currently still on loan from Manchester City.

Wilf's just nudged Mark Hughes.

Former Lions captain Brian O'Driscoll says fellow Irishman John Hayes was the worst room-mate he ever had as a player.

O'Driscoll revealed that while he was captain of Ireland he had a room to himself and didn't have to share.

The former Ireland centre said: "I never liked a front-rower, they're a different breed.

"I've criticised him before so I probably won't get abused by him for a second time so maybe John Hayes."  

After his incident-packed win at Cheltenham, it was a bit more straightforward for Might Bite (8-13 favourite) to win the Betway Mildmay Novices' Chase.

Once again he was in a battle with Nicky Henderson stablemate Whisper but jumped the better and held on up the Aintree straight to beat Whisper by 

"Whisper put it up to him today," said Henderson. "But Might Bite is a horse who loves attacking."

Celtic have shown their faith in manager Brendan Rodgers by giving him a new four-year deal.

"He's an outstanding manager and we believe he is one of the best coaches in Europe, if not world football, and we're delighted that he has committed his future to Celtic."

British Olympians Lawrence Okolie, Joe Cordina and Josh Kelly have been added to the undercard for the Anthony Joshua v Wladimir Klitschko fight on 29 April.

All three competed at the Rio Games in 2016 before turning to the paid ranks.

Okolie has already made his professional bow, while Cordina and Kelly will each make their debuts before the Wembley date.

The headline bout will be for Joshua's IBF title and the vacant WBA Super and IBO heavyweight belts.

Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough are yet to register a Premier League win in 2017, with their last league victory coming back in December.

Steve Agnew says his players are desperate to bounce back.

“The dressing room was very disappointed after the game on Wednesday, and communication goes a long way to putting the players in a positive frame of mind," he said.

“The players understand the frustrations and disappointment, and spirits are good.

“A lot of work has gone in from everybody, and we’ve had a good meeting this morning - the players are positive towards getting the three points we need.

“Three points brings us closer and puts pressure on elsewhere. Confidence comes with results, and that’s what we’re aiming for.

“The fighting spirit is still there and it will be evident on the pitch.” 

Assistant trainer to Pingshou Joe Tizzard tells BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra: "It was a beautiful performance. We've had a great season but if we had left without a big win from the two big meetings [Cheltenham and Aintree] it would be a bit disappointing."

There's another big race win for Robbie Power after Pingshou (16-1) wins the Crabbie's Top Novices Hurdle at Aintree.

Power, who guided Sizing John to victory in the Cheltentham Gold Cup, got away from his rivals with three hurdles left, putting pressure on them and they were unable to respond.

The 9-4 joint favourite Mount Mews was second ahead of The Unit (7-1).

Januzaj cannot play against his parent club but I asked Mourinho if he had decided what he was going to do with the 22-year-old at the end of the season.

"Yes," came the firm reply. "But I am not telling the media."

Here's the latest Middlesbrough team news before Saturday's game against Burnley.

"George Friend and Calum Chambers will miss the game," said Steve Agnew.

“With Gaston [Ramirez] we’re not sure, he had light training this morning and he’s still out there with the medical staff as we speak.

“Fabio won’t be involved because of his concussion, and the 7-day ruling in place.

“It’s difficult when good players, and players who have done well this season are missing through injury, but this is football."

After Jesse Lingard signed a new contract at Old Trafford until 2021, Jose Mourinho says it was important to get the deal sorted. When asked if he has been surprised by the 24-year-old, he said:

"No. He is a good player already. Because of his age and happiness in the work, he can be even better. He is English. Made in academy.

"These players are very important for clubs. It is a very important contract. I congratulate him and the board to agree with him and give stability to me. Important for me to know he is not in danger."
