“I have said I am not going to get involved in any off-the-field matters”. Kevin Scott with a long-range shot. Scott Millar toe-poked this one in Ian James Parsley goes route one. Calvin Houston of Spotsylvania, Virginia, US (orginally from Newtownards) crosses this one in.
“I don’t know Kyle Lafferty but I didn’t like him when he played for Glasgow Rangers because he always gave Glasgow Celtic a problem”, the Yorkshire Evening Post quotes him as saying.
“For the Euros I want to be in the best shape of my life and need to be playing to do that”. “We have a few friendly games now and then the Euros and I reckon I have a two or three more campaigns left in me so I will try to score as many goals as I can”, he added.
“I know Massimo Cellino was talking to Liam’s representatives on Wednesday”, Evans said.
