9am Briefing: Hibs boss denies Burnley link

Hibs boss John Hughes has dismissed any link with the vacant managerial job at Burnley, saying he intends to stay at the Easter Road club for the foreseeable future and, hopefully, end their 108-year wait for the Scottish Cup.

Time for change

Csaba Laszlo has called for a radical rethink of the Scottish game. He is dismayed by the training conditions despite Hearts' academy facilities at Riccarton and has suggested an expanded SPL with teams only playing each other twice and a lengthy winter break.

Game on

Edinburgh Rugby have used a combination of undersoil heating, overhead turf lights and salt to treat the areas around Murrayfield to ensure that tomorrow evening's game against Cardiff goes ahead.
