    Ach, that's a pity for Scotland's David Florence. He was 10th out of 10 in the final of the C1 canoe slalom at the Rio Olympics.

    Hibs v Queen of the South

    "Not being facetious but unless more fans get to Easter Road pretty quickly I'd fancy my chances of counting the attendance myself."

  4. Morton unbeaten in Betfred Cuppublished at 19:45 British Summer Time 9 August 2016

    Hamilton v Morton

    "Hamilton make two changes to the side that drew at Ibrox on Saturday. That might well be a measure of Martin Canning's respect for Morton, who are unbeaten in the Betfred Cup, including a win over Kilmarnock in the group stages. Jim Duffy's side also knocked Motherwell out of the Scottish Cup last season. Jim Duffy's side is full of youthful promising players, including Celtic loanees Jamie Lindsay and Aiden Nesbitt."

  5. Young Morton team = Morton young teampublished at 19:41 British Summer Time 9 August 2016

    Hamilton v Morton

    Morton manager Jim Duffy: "A lot of people say we have a lot of young players, and we have. But it's a route we went down a few years ago and there's a togetherness there. Hamilton had a fantastic result at Ibrox. If they play at their very best they should win. We just want to approach the game with a positive mentality."

    Hamilton v Morton

    Hamilton Accies player-manager Martin Canning: "We had to make a couple of changes. We have to look after people although we want to win this game. Morton have had a good start to the season as well. It will be difficult, they will work really hard and we will have to match them."

    Hibs v Queen of the South

    "The veteran Grant Holt is in the Hibs team for this League Cup tie against Queen of the South. He scored his last goal in the Premiership just over three years ago and has scored 7 in 71 since then at different levels. He could do with getting off the mark pretty soon at his new club."

  10. Dodoo starts for much-changed Gerspublished at 19:29 British Summer Time 9 August 2016

    Rangers v Peterhead

    Rangers boss Mark Warburton has shuffled his pack after Saturday's Premiership opener against Hamilton Accies.

    Matt Gilks replaces Wes Foderingham in goal, with captain Lee Wallace rested and Lee Hodson stepping in at left-back.

    Danny Wilson would have started this evening, but he's been struck down with a virus.

    The veterans Joey Barton and Niko Kranjar retain their berths in midfield, joined by Jordan Rossiter and Harry Forrester.

    New signing Joe Dodoo makes his first Gers start, joined in attack by Michael O'Halloran.

    Hibernian v Queen of the South

    After a winning start to their Championship campaign at Falkirk, Hibs head coach Neil Lennon makes only one switch to his starting line-up.

    Out goes the 19-year-old midfielder Scott Martin; replacing him the engine room, the ample figure of Marvin Bartley.

    Meanwhile new Queens signing Steven Dobbie, who had a spell at Hibs over a decade ago, could make his return to the Easter Road pitch - he's on the bench this evening.

  12. No doom and gloom at Invernesspublished at 19:28 British Summer Time 9 August 2016

    Alloa v Inverness CT

    Inverness CT player-manager Richie Foran: "Saturday (the defeat by Partick Thistle) hurt the players a lot, the first taste of defeat, but you don’t become a bad team overnight. There's no doom and gloom. Alloa have an air of confidence about them, they have beaten County and they will think they can beat us as well. The boys are in the dressing room raring to go. A pitch is a pitch - no-one will be blaming the surface if we don't get the result."

  13. No novelty for experienced Waspspublished at 19:22 British Summer Time 9 August 2016

    Alloa v Inverness CT

    Alloa manager Jack Ross: "We go in in a very positive frame of mind. It's a fine line between taking the confidence that has got them results and being complacent. The experience and the calibre of the player we have means there's no novelty factor tonight. Fortunately I've been able to recruit a lot of good footballers. I think people will be surprised how technically competent they are."

    Dundee United v Partick Thistle

    "Jags boss Alan Archibald is forced into two changes from the weekend as goalkeeper Tomas Cerny and centre back Liam Lindsay are injured.

    "Young defender David Syme comes in as does back-up keeper Ryan Scully as Partick look for a first cup win at Tannadice in 41 years."

    "Ray McKinnon makes three changes to the Dundee United team that drew at home to Queen of the South on Saturday with the main surprise being goalscorer Nick van der Velden dropping out despite a great solo effort in that game. 

    "Sean Dillon is also dropped along with Simon Murray, with Lewis Toshney, Blair Spittal and Scott Fraser back."
