9am Briefing: Hearts blow lead over Falkirk

Ten-man Hearts stormed back from 2-0 down to lead Falkirk 3-2 in their Co-op Cup clash but blew it by conceding late goals to go out 4-3.

Old pals act

Hibs manager John Hughes says that the fact he's coming up against his friend and predecessor at Easter Road in Mixu Paatelainen will have no bearing on tonight's Co-op Cup tie at Rugby Park.

Games in doubt

Various teams including Scotland and England are considering their options as the Commonwealth Games fell into crisis less than a fortnight before it is due to start. Athletes' accommodation has been described as uninhabitable and a bridge at the main stadium collapsed, injuring 23 workers.
