Motherwell have submitted an appeal against a £5000 fine from the Scottish FA for a social media post criticising the decision to award Celtic a stoppage-time penalty at Fir Park in May. On what was the penultimate round of Premiership fixtures, Kelechi Iheanacho converted from the spot for a 3-2 victory after Sam Nicholson was penalised for handball. Motherwell released a video with the caption: "As the world of football mocks our game, we simply have to draw a line in the sand and shift the focus."
Conor Gallagher says it is "a lot more enjoyable" and a "fresh" feeling being a Tottenham player during pre-season. The 26-year-old midfielder previously spoke about being played out of position, not being liked by former head coach Igor Tudor and losing confidence as Spurs narrowly avoided relegation to the Championship on the final day of the 2025-26 campaign.
Today’s rumours are napping on the beachAs sports fans everywhere eagerly await the resumption of cricket’s County Championship season, what better way to while away a few minutes than to contemplate the latest football transfer rumours?Manchester United and Michael Carrick want to sign the 23-year-old Portugal winger Francisco Conceição from Juventus.

Alex Paulsen revealed former Motherwell star Elijah Just was a key factor in his move to Fir Park. Just left Motherwell for a club-record fee earlier this summer, signing for Swansea City off the back of an impressive World Cup campaign with New Zealand. The 24-year-old goalkeeper made his Motherwell debut in Thursday's 2-0 win over HB in Conference League qualifying, making several good saves.
The four-match ban handed out to Rangers boss Derek McInnes is disproportionate, according to the club's former midfielder Andy Halliday. McInnes described the decision to award Celtic a late penalty at Motherwell in May as "disgusting" while he was still in charge of Hearts. Celtic's 3-2 victory at Fir Park on 13 May kept them one point behind Hearts, who they beat to the title a few days later in a final-day decider.
HB Torshavn of the Faroe Islands head to Fir Park for Thursday's Conference League second-round qualifier and, while many of the home crowd may not be up to speed on their Faroese domestic football, they may also be wondering how their own side will set up. "I'm really looking forward to it," Halliday told the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast.
Hibernian's summer recruits are looking good and it's down to the "fantastic job" being done by sporting director Malky Mackay, reckons Andy Halliday. Ahead of the Leith side's return to competitive action in the Conference League second qualifying round first leg against Malisheva in Kosovo, head coach David Gray has some selection headaches. Key creator Nicky Cadden is one of the core squad members ruled out with injury, but former Hearts and Motherwell midfielder Halliday anticipates the summer reinforcements filling the void well, particularly at the top end of the park.
