Commenting on the ITV debate, Labour MP Ian Murray said: “Keir Starmer set out a vision for a Labour government in the service of working people, delivering the change we need. In contrast, Rishi Sunak offered no vision and failed to defend 14 years of Tory chaos. “On July 4, Scotland can boot the Tories out of Downing Street by electing Scottish Labour MPs who will lower bills, maximise Scotland’s influence and deliver the change that Scotland needs. “That is an opportunity we cannot afford to miss.” said: “No. I don’t use private health. I use the NHS. That’s where my wife works, in one of the big hospitals. As I said it runs through my DNA.” The pair were also asked about what they plan to do to put climate at the “very centre” of their policies. Sunak said: “Of course we’re going to tackle climate change and get to net zero” but said the upcoming election on July 4 is about “how we do it”. Starmer said an energy transition is coming towards renewables, which he says are cheaper and give the UK energy security. He said it will give the nation the “next generation of jobs” and wants Britain to “win the race” for renewables. Starmer won strong support securing our borders and our country’s security, or a foreign court, I’m going to choose our country’s security every single time.” Starmer said the UK risked becoming a “pariah” state if it left international conventions. He added: “We will not pull out of international agreements and international law which is respected the world over,. “Because I want the UK to be a respected player on the global stage, not a pariah who doesn’t agree with international law.” In another section, Sunak said he would use private health care if he had a loved one on a long waiting list, while Starmer said he would not. Asked the private health question, the Labour leader from me not to speak over one another. We want to make sure that everybody can hear what you’re saying.” Later, as the debate over immigration got heated, the PM raised his voice, asking the Labour leader: “What are you going to do with illegal migrants?” Etchingham intervened: “Please gentleman, we will lower our voices.” Sunak was also asked whether the Tory manifesto would commit to leaving the European Convention on Human Rights if his Rwanda plan was blocked in the courts. He said: “I’m crystal clear, I believe all our plans are compliant with our international obligations, but if I am forced to choose between RISHI Sunak has been slammed after his “stroppy” outbursts threatened to derail the first general election head to head with Keir Starmer. The desperate Tory Prime Minister repeatedly interrupted the Labour leader on last night’s ITV debate as his campaign falters amid polls showing a Tory wipeout. But Sunak and Starmer traded blows during the first one-to-one face off on ITV. A Scottish Labour spokesperson said: “Confronted with the facts about how the Tories have failed working people, stroppy Sunak couldn’t help but have a tantrum on national television. It was embarrassing.” During the one-hour debate, an irritable Sunak repeatedly refused to let Starmer speak. On tax, Starmer earned a round of applause by raising Labour’s policy to end the VAT tax break for private schools. Sunak defended the perk, saying: “I don’t agree with it because I think people who work hard and aspire to provide that education for their kids should have that freedom. That’s what my parents did and I’ll support it.” Sunak then claimed Labour wanted to saddle voters with £2000 of tax rises for every working family. Starmer branded the claim “absolute nonsense” and said the only tax rises were for private schools, energy giants and by scrapping the non-dom loophole for the super-rich. He branded Sunak a “British expert” on tax rises after saddling the public with record rises when he was chancellor. Sunak was mocked by the audience on the NHS and was shaky on the cost of living crisis. After audience member Paula, of Huddersfield, spoke about being in arrears with her household bills and having lost her savings, Starmer said: “What I would say is this – my dad worked in a factory, my mum was a nurse. We didn’t have a lot of money when I was growing up. “We were in a position where we couldn’t pay our bills. So I know how that feels. In our particular case, we had our phone cut off. “I do know the anguish, worrying when the postman comes, with a bill, what is that bill going to be? I don’t think the Prime Minister quite understands the position you and other people are in.” The debate became so illtempered that both leaders were reprimanded for talking over each other by host Julie Etchingham.

RESORTS TO BAWLING MATCH DAILY RECORD Wednesday, June 5, 2024 MORE AT DAILYRECORD.CO.UK PAGE 5 PM shows that money can’t buy judgment PAUL HUTCHEON ANALYSIS who knows the election is over four weeks before polling day. Starmer had two objectives in the leaders’ debate and his team will be content he achieved both. The first was ensuring he did not screw up in front of an audience of millions – mission accomplished. But he also had to project a positive vision of change while hammering home the point about Tory failures. Despite a slow start, he disparaged Sunak as a “British expert on tax rises” and his jibes over Sunak’s handling of the NHS led to audience mockery of the PM. He also aimed a sly dig at Sunak’s wealth by claiming Sunak “doesn’t understand” what it is like not being able to pay bills. It was a steady, rather than a spectacular, performance. Although the debate is of crucial importance to Scots, some of the subjects had little relevance north of the Border. Only a fool would suggest the small boats issue is of no concern to Scottish voters, but it has far less potency. If the election was a boxing match, the referee would stop the fight and award the contest to Labour now. The next month looks like it is going to be a gruesome, if highly amusing, dismemberment of a Tory party in freefall. Money can buy you many things, but Sunak shows it cannot buy you sound political judgment. RISHI Sunak was good at making money in a previous life – but last night’s TV debate confirmed he’s a poor performer. The ITV face-off with Keir Starmer was his opportunity to turn around a disastrous campaign that was already hurtling towards oblivion. But he used a prime time television slot to remind voters how stroppy and entitled he is and how out of touch his Government has become. Sunak has a golden bank balance but in the political world he has the Midas touch in reverse. He is the Tory who launched an election campaign in the rain, hosted an event at the Titanic museum and watched Nigel Farage sink any remaining election hopes. The two-way with Starmer shone an unforgiving light on the desperate lengths to which the Prime Minister had sunk. He tried to raise fears of Starmer hiking taxes by £2000, but he was the Chancellor who hit voters with the highest tax burden since World War II. He boasted about how a re-elected Conservative government would cut immigration, even though net migration has soared to record levels on his watch. He wanted thanks for inflation coming down, despite previous price rises already being baked in and offset by interest rate hikes. He sounded like a man who had lost the rag and If this was a boxing match, the ref would stop it now PAUL HUTCHEON ON GENERAL ELECTION LEADERS DEBATE SCORECARD THE Labour leader didn’t need to put on a spectacular show, and he didn’t. All he needed to do was stay calm, which he did. This was peak No Drama Starmer as he dealt with each issue with reasonable fluency – and crucially, connected with the studio audience, unlike Sunak. Where Starmer could have done better was on shooting down Sunak’s laughable attack lines such as on tax rises. But as it went on, he grew into the debate. Will undecided voters have come out of this inspired by the bookies’ favourite to be our next PM? Probably not. But if they’re looking for a steady hand on the tiller, his performance will have done his chances little harm. FOR a man already in the Last Chance Saloon, you’d have thought Sunak would have pulled out all the stops to make his pitch to Brits. But if this is the best he has to offer, the Tories really are holed below the waterline. His attempt to come out fighting was like a blindfolded man flailing about trying to hit a pinata. He came across like a bar-room shouter rather than a man with a plan. Sunak’s team may think they landed a few blows – with Starmer a little passive at times, especially early on – but the truth is, there was lots of throwing things at the wall and not much sticking. Overbearing, snappy, charmless, unlikeable. A good day at the office this was not.

CHASED From pub ROLE Kate Forbes CRITICISM Foulkes and Anas Sarwar We should be welcoming people, not pushing people away because that’s bad for our economy GOOD DAY BAD DAY Time for Swift exit form. Former MP and MSP Foulkes, a Labour peer and champion of the VAT policy, said: “I think this is a disruption tactic. “It is also disgraceful and selfish. Not only do they want to protect their privilege but they are trying to protect the subsidy on their privilege. “Shadow applications could harm genuine pupils who want to attend a state school. I would plead with this group to stop what they are doing. “They should be redirecting their energies to ensuring that private schools make efficiency savings like state schools have had to do.” Critics of the VAT policy claim it will lead to private schools closing. But Starmer recently rejected this, saying: “I’ve seen a number of reports of private schools closing. When you look at the details, it’s got nothing to do with Labour Party policy at all. “In fact, I think hundreds of private schools have closed over the last 14 years. And it’s about time that was put into the mix when these stories are reported.’ Th e S c o tti sh C oun c i l of Independent Schools claim the VAT policy will hit 6000 pupils. They said: “We remain conscious of the already considerable cost of an independent education and recognise the additional burden VAT would place on families regardless of the rate actually imposed, whether 20 per cent or less, and schools will do everything they can to keep their fees as affordable as possible.” The Record made an application to join the Facebook group, with a view to asking questions. parent action group was created to “drive protest against the introduction of VAT on private school fees”. They claim VAT, on top of significant fee increases in recent years, will have a “devastating effect” on affordability for families. The group told members: “As well as the burden this will place on the under-invested Scottish state education system, this will place the financial viability of many independent schools into jeopardy, creating a further adverse impact on children whose education has already been impacted by Covid. “We thought it would be helpful to start a page where parents across Edinburgh could coordinate a response, the most obvious being to register your child for a state school place by way of demonstration. “Even if this is not something you would plan to take up in the next session, we would encourage you to act in order to support the many families who will be adversely affected if this policy is implemented.” The group included internet links for the parents to find their local schools as well as for the registration CAMPAIGNERS opposed to Labour’s policy of charging VAT on private school fees are urging parents to register at state schools as a protest. An Edinburgh action group says parents should fill in the forms even if they have no intention of taking up a place at a comprehensive. Labour’s George Foulkes hit out at the “disruptive” and “disgraceful” move which he said could harm state school pupils. Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar said parents of children at private schools should not be “gaming” the system to protest against Labour’s policy. Sarwar said: “I don’t think we should be gaming in this way. I think we have to focus on the fact that we have an education system that is requiring resource, that we have to make some difficult decisions in government, and this is one decision we are making in order to attract more investment into our schools.” Labour intends to introduce VAT on school fees in their first budget if Keir Starmer becomes prime minister on July 4. They say it would raise about £1.7billion, which would be ploughed into the state sector. About 25 per cent of pupils in Edinburgh attend private schools and critics warn of an exodus which they claim could overrun the comprehensives. The Record can reveal a private Facebook group called The Edinburgh Question, which has over 2000 members, is encouraging parents to act.

On a visit to Edinburgh, the Shadow Chancellor also said Labour would be able to deliver more here if it elected more Scots MPs. She added that “there’ll be no return to austerity” under Labour. Reeves was talking after a Q&A with Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar at NatWest Group’s campus in the capital.

PAGE 8 MORE AT DAILYRECORD.CO.UK DAILY RECORD Wednesday, June 5, 2024 RECORD VIEW Give rich parents lesson in fairness ONE of Labour’s best policies is the promise to introduce VAT on private school fees. Keir Starmer is not backing the abolition of private schools – that would be unfair on those who want to send their children to fee-paying facilities. But what he is saying is that a decision made by consumers to purchase their children’s education should not receive a tax break. Scots pay 20 per cent VAT on a range of items every day, yet somehow private education is exempt. These bastions of privilege also receive other sweeteners from the state which keep bills down for parents. Imposing VAT will help level the playing field and raise vital revenue for state schools. Starmer should also have zero tolerance for bogus claims of an exodus of pupils from the private sector to the state system. Some kids may transfer, but the overwhelming majority of private school parents will have the money to pay these extra fees. Our story today about an attempt by pro-private school campaigners in Edinburgh to “demonstrate” against the policy is a new low. They are urging parents to register at state schools even if they have no intention of using them. The effect of this will be to drain the resources of cash-strapped councils and inflate the figures of pupils leaving the private school sector. Starmer intends to introduce VAT as an early priority in government and he should stand his ground.

But that’s exactly what’s happening to hundreds of thousands of households who were already struggling with fuel poverty even before the price of gas and electricity rocketed. Now, profiteering energy suppliers have them locked into a miserable cycle of debt – all while the Tories sit on their hands. New data shows one in six Scots have been left in crippling arrears to energy firms because of unaffordable bills. Some feel they have no choice but to turn to dodgy money lenders to get the basics. UK Government support for families plunged into energy debt has been shockingly feeble. Especially given this cost-of-living crisis has been made 10 times worse by the economic calamities inflicted on us by the Tories. The least they could do is protect the most vulnerable from the carnage they’ve created.

And it was poignant too for Claire’s boy Robbie, 10, who got to visit the theme park which his mum had enjoyed at the same age. Claire’s parents Fiona and Ian, sister Emma and Emma’s partner, Declan, made up the party scattering her remains at the numerous locations which held a deep meaning for them. Claire, 28, was murdered at her Stirling home by evil Christopher McGowan, 28, in November 2021. He was jailed for a minimum 23 years for abusing and torturing Claire to death. The murder left friends and neighbours stunned and her heartbroken family have been picking up the pieces since. Now, more than two years after her murder, the family have finally been able to h o n o u r C l a i r e’s memory. Mum Fiona said: “We all needed this break to finally set her free. While it was heartbreaking, we had to make it a trip to remember for Robbie.” The family’s planned trip was almost hampered when McGowan lodged an appeal against his sentence. But his appeal was booted out at the Court of Appeal in Edinburgh just days before they set off, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief. “We had Claire’s ashes but I refused to part with them until we saw justice getting done”, Fiona added. Explaining their decision to scatter Claire’s ashes in her favourite place, Fiona said: “Claire had been to Paris a couple of times and the last time she went she was 10 years old and we bought her a wee Snow White dress. “We drove over that time and we went to a caravan park and the girls just absolutely loved it. “Claire had said when Robbie was born, ‘We need to take Relatives scatter ashes at Disney theme park BY CHRIS MARZELLA rest in her happy place Relatives scatter ashes at Disney theme park FAMILY PILGRIMAGE FOR MURDERED MUM THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH Parents Fiona and Ian, and sister Emma, with Claire’s son Robbie in Disneyland Paris, and inset, a heart-shaped keepsake they left BY CHRIS MARZELLA SPARK Claire was the joker in her family CHILDHOOD MEMORIES Robbie is dazzled by Disneyland, Claire as a child and in her Snow White dress, and killer Christopher McGowan up around the block to hand in envelopes for Robbie.” Despite still trying to come to terms with his mum’s passing, young Robbie made the most of the holiday with his loved ones.

Models strutted around the gardens of the Perthshire castle, which stood in for Versailles in Outlander, to the skirl of the bagpipes. There was Harris tweed, cashmere and plaid and, of course, there was tartan. Coats and skirts and corsets were teamed with traditional bonnets and chunky boots to give a punky edge.

About 36,000 people have been killed in Israel’s reprisals for the brutal October 7 Hamas attacks. In the occupied West Bank, troops killed two Palestinian militants trying to launch a shooting attack toward Israeli communities. And emergency services worked all night to put out 1000 acres of fire in northern Israel after Hezbollah fired missiles into communities. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is under pressure to accept a US-led ceasefire proposal, which could ensure the return of scores of hostages taken by Hamas last October.

YOUR MONEY PAGE 26 MORE AT DAILYRECORD.CO.UK DAILY RECORD Wednesday, June 5, 2024 THE cost-of-living squeeze has made people more willing to open up to friends and loved ones about money matters. We are far better at talking about our finances now compared to back in 2019, according to a Virgin Money survey. It can be a tricky topic, but more than half of those polled said they feel comfortable discussing money with their friends. Understandably, with living costs putting a strain on all budgets, household bills and the cost of everyday essentials are the topics people are most open to discussing. The research found for those who do feel comfortable talking to friends about finances, the main reason was because cost-of-living pressures have simply made it an unavoidable topic. Wages were the third most popular topic up for discussion, with nearly a third of people saying they are open to chatting about their pay. Saying that, just one in six would openly share or post about their salary on social media. More than eight in 10 people think the salary should be clearly stated on job adverts, according to the survey of 1000 people by OnePoll in March. It also found that the Gen-Z generation – those born between 1996 and 2010 – feels the most comfortable talking about cash. Embarrassed Nearly 70 per cent of 18 to 24-yearolds are happy to discuss money issues with friends. And being more open about money can have its advantages. Some people think being able to talk freely about it helps them say no to social situations without feeling embarrassed or pressured to attend. This attitude has been encouraged by the “loud budgeting ” social media trend, where people are vocal about t h e i r f i n a n c i a l priorities. Talking openly and sharing financial problems and frustrations can also make you feel less anxious, and a third of those quizzed said it helped them to take control of their budget and be realistic about their finances. Being at ease discussing money matters can also help you stay ahead of scams. For instance, chatting about a dodgy text, cold call or email you’ve received could help to prevent a friend or family member from falling for a similar scam. Graeme Sands, head of personal banking at Virgin Money, said: “The subject of personal finance has leapt up the news agenda in the last five years, and it’s positive to see that with a backdrop of cost-ofliving pressures, most people now feel more comfortable discussing their finances with friends. “We need to continue to challenge the notion that money is a taboo subject or that it’s rude or bad manners to discuss money in your social circles. In fact, it’s hugely important to be open and honest about money with loved ones to improve our collective relationship with money.” And while it appears the majority of us do feel comfortable talking about it, and it’s getting better, nearly a fifth admit they feel uncomfortable doing so. The research also indicates women feel less happy opening up about wages, bills and money worries, with 49 per cent of them feeling comfortable, compared with 64 per cent of men. For those who aren’t comfortable with the topic, 43 per cent say it’s because they are embarrassed about their finances and 42 per cent say they have been told that it’s a taboo subject or bad manners to discuss money wAlina Jaffer, a moneVirgin Money, has sohow to build confideabout money – and eit’s so important: 1Keep the convpositive and fany judgment Alina said: “The cost-ohas impacted almost some way. “But one benefit of tis that there is now ma common ground whto talking about monehave got better at about their finances a“So instead of focu negatives, try to start bsome of the positives. “For example, wcurrently saving for an‘‘ One benefit of the situation is there is now much more of a common ground RESEARCH SHOWS THE COST-OF-LIVING CRISIS HAS MADE US OPEN UP ABOUT MONEY WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY, AND IT CAN ALSO HELP YOU STAY SAFE FROM SCAMS How to smash the cash taboo to feel happier talking about income and expenditure

Comparing yourself to others can make you feel like you’re not doing as well or aren’t as successful, leaving you feeling down, demotivated and stressed out. “Remember, however, nothing good comes from spending for the sake of it. You do not have to keep up with people around you if that isn’t best for your bank account. “And, quite frankly, real friends won’t care whether you’re spending as much as them or not. “Being able to talk about your money and what amount you are comfortable spending with friends can be hugely beneficial too. “It means there won’t be any awkwardness or stress when it comes to planning social situations, such as nights out, birthday presents or trips away.” ‘‘ Comparing yourself to others can leave you feeling demotivated ASKANEXPERT ◆ You can access free, impartial advice on any topic from Advice.Scot by contacting 0808 800 9060 or by visiting www.advice.scot ◆ Advice is available to everyone in Scotland, at no cost, regardless of personal circ*mstance. email s.mclean@ dailyrecord.co.uk with all your consumer queries I HIRED a trader to carry out work on my property but they have not finished and I am worried it is dangerous. What are my rights? IF you are worried that the work carried out is unsafe, you need to take immediate steps to try to ensure the safety of you and others. If you are the property owner, you could be held responsible if someone is injured due to known dangers at the property. To report a dangerous building or structure you should contact your local council at once. When you hire a trader to carry out work on your property, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 states that the trader should carry out that work using “reasonable care and skill”. If the trader has failed to meet these standards, and if you can prove it, then you may be able to hold the trader accountable and ask them to put things right. You can pursue one of the following options. The first is called repeat performance. This is a request for the trader to return to the property to fix any issues for free, and within a reasonable timescale, to prevent significant inconvenience. The next option is a price reduction. If you’ve given the trader the opportunity to put things right and they have refused, failed to do so within a reasonable timescale, or been unable to complete the work to an acceptable standard, you can ask them to deduct a sum from the total cost of the work. The amount deducted is negotiable, and really depends on what has gone wrong and the inconvenience it has caused. Lastly, you may have consequential loss. If you have incurred any additional costs due to the work carried out or had to arrange for another trader to complete it, then you might be entitled to ask the original trader to cover your losses. The burden of proof is on you to prove reasonable care and skill was not used by the original trader. You will also have to demonstrate that you acted reasonably and have supporting evidence of the incomplete work and any losses incurred. Evidence can be gathered in the form of photos or correspondence carried out with the trader explaining your concerns, and their responses. You may also be able to get impartial advice from an additional third-party trader. This option may cost you a fee for their time. In terms of finding a resolution, you should raise your concerns with the trader to try to come to an agreement. If verbal discussions have been unsuccessful, you should follow this up with a formal letter of complaint. You should also give the trader a reasonable timescale to reply. If the incomplete work is deemed dangerous or unsafe, you should also consider reporting the trader to Trading Standards through consumeradvice.scot, using its web chat and email, or by calling 0808 164 6000. The consumer service will assess your problem and pass it on to Trading Standards if appropriate. You will need information about what was involved, the cost and whether you have already raised a complaint with the trader. You can provide all your correspondence and photo evidence.

You will get support for your ideas and business aims. Problems are starting to ease and there is a growing feeling of satisfaction. Your past hard working efforts have been well worth it. YOU work hard for your money and normally you are careful about how you spend it. Cash seems to be disappearing at an amazing rate. Attractive items keep catching your eye in shops and online stores. Your main challenge is to resist parting with your hard earned cash. YOU’RE noticing how a workmate or housemate has a tendency to exaggerate everything. You won’t want to offend them but you are starting to take whatever they say with a pinch of salt. A goal you have been working towards will be achieved through sheer determination. CONTINUE to refrain from getting too involved in other people’s financial problems. Friends find it easy to talk to you . But when conversations veer onto money, change the subject. You really don’t want to know someone’s financial particulars in such great detail. AVOIDING over-indulgence in any form is essential to your health and wellbeing. Make it your intention to make self-indulgence a thing of the past. Your system is more delicate than you’d like to admit. Strong co*cktails, rich desserts and spicy food could cause a bad reaction. A SENIOR colleague will tell you more than they should about a sensitive issue in your workplace. Don’t be tempted to be as candid as this person because it will not be appreciated. You won’t have to ask to think about it if an exciting offer takes you by surprise. There will be no hesitating. A HOLD-UP in the works will give you some spare time. You won’t want to waste this as there are a few tasks and chores you can tie up while you are waiting for everything to get moving again. These may seem trivial compared with some responsibilities but they still require attention. BE cautious in any legal and financial matters. There is something going on in the background that you haven’t been told about and you won’t find out what it is until later in the month. You have a difficult decision to make but don’t be in a rush to give a final answer. AN event you had been dreading taking part in will turn out to be surprisingly easy. A longstanding friendship or partnership is beginning to undergo some change. Either you are demanding more from your partnerships in general or someone is expecting too much from you. YOU will be offered an opportunity to showcase your accomplishments and talents. It’s not just the product you are offering but people want to get engaged with the whole story. You won’t be surprised by how integral social media has been to the venture you have launched. WORRIES relate to recent developments on the domestic scene. When you think about it, nothing very much is wrong. It’s just that matters proceed a little too slowly for your liking. Since there is nothing you can do to hurry things along, focus instead on things you can control.

Costs are going up and wages seem menial in comparison. There is support for innovation but no plans to increase individual wages. If you aren’t respected for your skills, start keeping ideas to yourself and look for another job. Dear Coleen I’M a 38-year-old woman, married with two young children. While my marriage is OK in that it’s stable and we love and care about each other, and adore our kids, there’s no excitement or passion. I’m not blaming my husband. We got together when I was 31 and still pretty fresh from an on/off relationship with the love of my life, who provided lots of excitement and passion, but was totally unreliable. So, I kind of settled for my husband, who’s steady and reliable, and nothing like my ex, and we married quite quickly. My biological clock was ticking and I felt this was my chance to have a grown-up relationship and a family with someone I could count on. All my friends were happy in relationships and I suppose I panicked that I was going to miss the boat. Don’t get me wrong, I did love my husband when I married him and still do but, seven years down the line, I’m just not sure it’s enough. Everything feels mundane and I can’t help thinking what my life would be like if I was still with my ex or with someone else. I feel very guilty about it. Coleen says WELL, if you were still with your ex, you’d probably be stressed to your eyeballs, living in limbo, feeling insecure and paranoid with low self-esteem, and without your two adorable kids. So, forget about him. You figured out he wasn’t good for you and that you didn’t want to have a family with him. End of story. Don’t mistake drama and unreliability for excit em ent and passion; they’re not the same. I think in some relationships we can become addicted to the d r a m a a n d i t becomes the norm. We get used to it and might even be attracted to it because it’s familiar, but it shouldn’t be normal and it’s a very stressful way to live. Even the best relationships and marriages require effort to create excitement, passion and romance. But, I bet there was a time when all your husband had to do was look at you and you’d feel excited. If you love him, then why not put all your energy into reviving the romantic side of things and see where it leads you? He could well be feeling the same and be totally on board with shaking things up. It’s easy to forget you’re a couple when you’ve been together a while and kids are in the mix. Talk to him about what you’d like from the relationship and, if you try these things and still feel the same, then you can at least be confident you gave it your best shot. “ I think what life would be like if I was still with ex I miss passion and regret settling for my reliable hubby

DAILY RECORD Wednesday, June 5, 2024 MORE AT DAILYRECORD.CO.UK PAGE 29 STUNNED Marlon is furious with Rhona EMMERDALE STV, 7.30pm RHONA is sick of Marlon harping on about her past actions. When Charles visits, she can’t help but engage in a chat about a potential christening for Ivy. Marlon returns in the middle of the conversation, stunned that Rhona has seemingly made another major decision without him. He then decides to go camping with Paddy to decide if he wants to continue being in a relationship with her. Elsewhere, Lydia is secretly devastated when Samson rolls up without any L plates. He’s passed his test! CORONATION STREET STV, 8pm DEE-DEE admits to Joel that she’s nervous about meeting his parents. He insists they’ll love her, but his parents, Anthea and Gus, make their disapproval of Dee-Dee clear straight away. Meanwhile, Bethany reveals to Toyah that a colleague of hers once tried to write an exposé about the Institute but was met by a wall of silence. And when the twins’ adopted mother cancels their visit to see Abi, she realises she needs to try to get the videos taken down. D-DAY 80: TRIBUTE TO THE FALLEN BBC1, 8.30pm ON this day, 80 years ago, thousands of Allied servicemen were waiting courageously for the signal to launch. In the 24 hours that followed, the troops of D-Day achieved the unthinkable, pushing the boundaries of ingenuity, bravery and sacrifice. As night falls, Kirsty Young hosts this reflective and poignant event, held at the Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery in Bayeux, France. Anne, The Princess Royal, accompanied by her husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, alongside actors, musicians and current serving military, will help mark the memories of those who took part, to hear their voices and to honour those who never made it home. With special readings, music and veteran testimony, the whole thing will build towards a unique moment of remembrance. Each of the 4600 headstones of those who fell will be individually illuminated, while in the UK, a similar striking lighting effect will mirror the powerful moment alongside a show at Southsea Common, Portsmouth. SERVICE Sir Tim and Princess Anne NEW START Hilary Swank ALASKA DAILY Alibi/Sky/Now, 9pm TWO-TIME Oscar winner Hilary Swank plays Eileen Fitzgerald, an award-winning investigative journalist, in this pacy US drama. It starts as Eileen pulls off a big exclusive, a revealing exposé on a corrupt US military general, who has been selling arms to nasty people. But after the story runs, there is an accusation that her source’s documents were forged. Add to that some staff complaints about her being abusive, and Eileen is not having a very good day. Disgraced, she is forced to leave her high-profile New York paper and holes up to write a book before quitting journalism altogether. But in walks a colleague she hasn’t seen for 17 years, Stanley (West Wing’s Jeff Perry), who is now the editor of the Alaska Daily and in desperate need of a good reporter. Alaska? It’s the minor leagues – she’s horrified. But Stanley tempts her with a big story. The plot doesn’t hang around, either. Eileen is on a plane within five minutes. Binge watch telly with a great cast. Andes back on his travels CHILLING IN CHILE Nick in Osorno’s volcanic Puyehue National Park NICK KNOWLES IN SOUTH AMERICA Channel 5, 7pm NICK Knowles must hardly ever be at home these days – he’s been smashing out one travel show after another. No sooner have we seen him visit the Grand Canyon, Death Valley and the Mississippi, than he’s back with an ambitious adventure around South America. From the “end of the world” in Chile, the planet’s most southerly country, Nick treks to Patagonia’s astonishing Torres del Paine National Park, considered by some to be the eighth wonder of the world with its beautiful lakes. He visits a Chilean archipelago in the Pacific and its largest island, Chiloe, home of witches, and finally traverses the Andes to end his South American odyssey in Argentina. Crossing the Magellan Strait, he watches baby penguins hatching, then kayaks under the great Grey Glacier, hydro-boards in a fast-flowing river under a volcano in Osorno’s Puyehue National Park and climbs a very big rock in Torres del Paine. All this and culture too – Nick learns Chile’s joyful but also mournful dance, la cueca, digs in dung for worms at an eco-hotel, herds bulls, is taught to tango and uncovers the scandalous story about the fate of Eva Peron’s body after her early death from cancer. He caps it all with the best steak of his life in Buenos Aires. Nick opens the series clinging by his fingernails, running out of grip 100ft up a sheer drop – the “baby slopes” of the Andes. He’s scared of heights, but as enthusiastic as usual, and enthralled throughout. Continues tomorrow and concludes on Friday. PICK of the DAY EASTENDERS BBC1, 8pm GEORGE steps in when Junior gets bad news about his business deal and eventually offers to become a silent partner on the project. Priya tries to fish for information after becoming suspicious of Suki and Vinny but gets nowhere. Meanwhile, Bianca is devastated that Whitney still isn’t ready to forgive her and continues to squabble with Reiss. Harvey is upset about Maya, so Jean offers to take him on a boys’ night out with a football theme to cheer him up.

Office for National Statistics figures have revealed overseas takeovers of British firms worth a total of £6.1billion in the first three months of 2024. But that marked a big drop from £10.1billion in the final quarter of last year, and £11.7billion worth of deals at the start of 2023. Among big buy-ups this year is Italian energy firm Eni’s purchase of British oil and gas firm Neptune Energy for £3.9billion. And there’s been a flurry of renewed interest in British firms in recent months, with a number of high-profile approaches in May alone. Czech tycoon Daniel Kretinsky is pushing to buy Royal Mail owner International Distribution Services after his £3.5billion bid was backed by the group’s board. Australian mining giant BHP is attempting to seal a £39billion takeover of Anglo American – and London listed investment platform Hargreaves Lansdown is fighting a near £5billion takeover approach from a group of overseas private equity firms. The ONS figures also showed £4.4billion worth of mergers and acquisitions involving UK firms buying overseas companies – £900million up on the final three months of last year. James Wild, from consultants RSM, said it was proof that investor confidence was returning. OVERSEAS BUYERS BACK AFTER LULL Swoops on UK firms increase SELL TENT, BUY TENT SPORTS equipment chain Decathlon is offering to buy back tents from customers to stop them being abandoned at music festivals this summer. The offer – which is backed by Radio 2 DJ Jo Whiley, right – applies to 10 models from now until September 13. About 250,000 tents are ditched each year in the UK, with most ending up in landfill. BRITISH defence firm Chemring has the biggest order book in its history amid global tensions. The FTSE 250 company’s workload reached £1billion in the six months to the end of April, a 39 per cemt year-on-year surge. Chemring’s products include self-defence decoys used on RAF Typhoon fighter jets. The Ukraine and Middle East conflicts have seen governments ramp up defence spending. Chemring boss Michael Ord said the rise in rearmament “is expected to last for at least the next decade.” The easy way to get your paper.. without leaving the house Have a digital version of the Daily Record and Sunday Mail effortlessly sent to your tablet or iPad every morning Open up the App Store on an iPad, Google Play on an Android tablets or Amazon Fire app store.

Saltires curse Caribbean weather as it scuppers chance to claim English scalp UNLUCKY Scotland were last night cursing Caribbean rain after they were denied the chance of a stunning T20 World Cup win over England. After posting 90-0 in an interrupted innings reduced to 10 overs, the Saltires were bang in contention to repeat their historic 2018 victory – especially when their rivals were set a revised target of 109. But the rain returned in Barbados before the Scottish bowlers could deliver a single ball to press home their advantage. Instead, the match was abandoned with the sides claiming a point apiece in their quest for a top-two finish in Group B and a place in the knockout stages. Scotland skipper Richie Berrington said: “Everyone’s frustrated but some positives to take at least. “The guys in the middle did a really good job and we can take things from that. We gave ourselves a chance there. “It would have been interesting to see how the weather affected the pitch because it did look like uneven bounce. “If we had bowled and fielded well, we had an opportunity.” English counterpart Jos Buttler added: “We expected a tough challenge, there are no easy games but we were confident A BAD SIGN It’s all over in Barbados clash WEATHER BEATEN Berrington chats to the umpire

CROCKOVIC Injured star out of Paris and is major doubt for Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner. Wimbledon starts on July 1, with the Olympics back in Paris on July 27. Eurosport tennis expert Becker, who helped the Serb win six Grand Slams from 2013-16, said: “This is bad news for all Djokovic fans and I’m one of them. “It’s a serious injury and it won’t go away tomorrow. “You need your knees on grass, you really do slip all the time. A torn medial meniscus is a serious injury and the question naturally arises as to whether surgery is necessary.” Sinner climbed to the summit of the rankings without knowing it as he reached the semi-finals in Paris for the first time by beating Grigor Dimitrov. The 22-year-old, who is the first man from Italy to b e w orld No.1, sank the Bulgarian 6-2 6-4 7-6(3). “It means a lot to me for sure,” said Sinner. “I am very happy about this achievement.” Third seed Carlos Alcaraz later beat Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-3 7-6(3) 6-4 and now plays Sinner in the semis. NOVAK DJOKOVIC is in a race against time to be fit for Wimbledon and the Olympics after pulling out of the French Open with a knee injury. And his former coach Boris Becker fears the Serbian superstar’s predicament is “bad news” for his fans, suggesting that he might have to have surgery. The 24-time Grand Slam champion took painkillers to li mp th ro u g h hi s five-set win over Francisco Cerundolo to reach the last eight – and then admitted he could have to withdraw. That confirmation came yesterday when an MRI scan revealed he had a torn medial meniscus in his right knee. Djokovic told his 14.5million Instagram followers: “I am really sad to announce that I have to withdraw from Roland Garros. “I played with my heart and gave my all in yesterday’s match and, unfortunately, due to a medial meniscus tear in my right knee, my team and I had to make a tou g h d e c i sion af t er careful consideration and consultation.” He revealed he had been suffering from a knee problem after his fourthround win but said he aggravated the injury during the second set against Cerundolo on the slippery court.

He added: “Friday night obviously wasn’t a perfect performance. “We’ve been out on the pitch working hard and looking to rectify it. “Zebre weren’t breaking us down hugely through their attack. It was more a lot of loose play which is obviously something that the Stormers are good at. “We must not give them any free opportunities to chuck the ball about.” S C O T T C UM M I N G S reckons Glasgow have to step up now and show they mean business. Warriors head into Saturday’s URC quarterfinal with Stormers looking to go all the way. But they were stunned at home by Munster at the same stage last season. And their campaign then ended on a low with a hammering by Toulouse in the Challenge Cup Final. Cummings believes Glasgow have what it takes to win the URC – but admits they need to start showing it on the pitch. The Scotland forward said: “There is part of us that knows we need to make that next step. “We want to get to semis, get to finals and start winning something. “So this is definitely a big match for the team. You can’t downplay that. “Defence is the most important thing and that’s going to be massive for us. “Stormers have one of the best attacks in the league, can play from BY GRAEME MACPHERSON IMPROVEMENT Cummings win that game they will be either away to Munster or at home to the Ospreys in the semis.

The pair helped Killie finish fourth last season to book a place in the Europa League qualifiers. It is Findlay’s fourth loan at Rugby Park and he’d a permanent spell there between 2018-21. Polworth had been on the verge of a move to Fleetwood Town before boss Derek McInnes made a late move to extend his deal beyond 12 months. The duo’s deals are a major boost to McInnes who has already agreed to keep the likes of Innes C a m e r o n a n d G a r y Mackay-Steven.

There’s so much that needs to be right for a signing to be a success. I’d argue Vargas, Oda and Tagawa are starting to show their quality. The one question on the transfer front that could be held against Hearts over recent years could be the lack of a big-money sale. But it’s a hard one. If someone’s not willing to pay what you think a player is worth then you simply aren’t going to sell. John Souttar and Shankland both come into that bracket. Teams will try to take the p*** with their offers. Thankfully Hearts are in a position they don’t desperately need to sell these days. Savage’s job w a s n’ t j u s t a b o u t recruitment though . He h e l p e d improve the academy and women’s team set-up with that latter becoming semi-professional. A n d h i s t e n u r e coincided with a strong spell on the park for the first team too. Hearts were already well on the way to winning the Championship when he arrived but since then they’ve finished third twice and with a fourth-place finish in between. Standards have been driven up across the board and Joe can take a big bit of credit for helping that. Who do they bring in to replace him? Do they need to bring someone in? That’s the million dollar question. Some punters have mentioned John Robertson coming back. I love Robbo, every Jambo does. He was a great coach. It’s good to have people like him around about the club. Andy Webster is there in charge of the academy. Is it something he’d be interested in? Only Andy would know. I’m not entirely sure about the criteria needed to be a good sporting director. The only thing I will say is I’d love to s e e s o m e o n e promoted from within who has a connection with the club and wants the b e s t f o r t h e m . Someone like Webby?

The only thing I will say is I’d love to s e e s o m e o n e promoted from within who has a connection with the club and wants the b e s t f o r t h e m . Someone like Webby? I’d be asking the question. WHO do you recruit to replace the recruiter? That’s suddenly the big question for Hearts fans heading into the summer transfer window after Joe Savage’s announcement he was stepping down as sporting director. OK, Savage’s role was wider than just signing players but that was the main responsibility on which he’ll be judged. And when you look across his three-and-a-half years in office at Tynecastle you have to say he did a superb job. As a rule of thumb I reckon if you get 60 per cent of signings right then you’re doing remarkably well. Savage must be well above that percentage though. Both Robbie Neilson and Steven Naismith spoke about their strong relationship with Joe and their trust in the recruitment system . That speaks volumes. There have b e e n t o p b r a c k e t s i g n i n g s . L a w r e n c e S h a n k l a n d stands out above all others for obvious reasons. As good a signing as Hearts will make. Then there’s the excellent additions of Frankie Kent, Beni Baningime, Kye Rowles, Zander Clark, Alan Forrest and Robert Snodgrass who, I will argue with anyone, was a top recruit. Other successes include Cammy Devlin , Barrie McKay, Alex Cochrane, Josh Ginnelly, Ellis Simms, Kenneth Vargas, Nat Atkinson and Calem Nieuwenhof. That’s not to mention Jorge Grant, Toby Sibbick, Aaron McEneff, Stephen Humphrys and Yutaro Oda who have all contributed at times and some of whom will hopefully continue to do so more regularly. Honestly I think I could count on one hand the number of signings in Savage’s time that you could say outright haven’t worked. And from 40-odd additions that’s a hell of a good strike rate. Just look back to my time at the club and after it in the Craig Levein era – the number of players Hearts were going through was frightening. And there weren’t a lot of good ones. Savage faced f lak at last December’s AGM. Punters weren’t impressed with foreign recruits including Vargas, Oda and Kyosuke Tagawa. But it’s a hard job bringing young players in from abroad and hoping they hit the ground running. It takes time. A rare commodity in football. These young guys have to get used to a new culture off the park and a different style of game on it. Some acclimatise quicker than others. The recruitment process needs I could count on one hand the number of signings in Savage’s time you could say outright haven’t worked Bermuda away.

Gers need to maximise their return in this window or run the risk of McCrorie signing a pre-contract in January 2025. The 26-year-old put in a transfer request back in January. He wanted to leave and try to force his way into Scotland’s Euro 2024 squad. P h i l i p p e C l e m e n t blocked the move, insisting he needed McCrorie in case anything happened to Jack Butland, at a time when Rangers were chasing success on all fronts. Clement feels he has two No.1s in Butland and McCrorie but can’t keep them both happy. He is also well aware that Butland is attracting interest after his Ibrox resurgence. If a big-money bid was to come in for the former England cap, he wouldn’t want to lose him and McCrorie. Jon McLaughlin has already left. The Ibrox side are now in talks with Scotland squad keeper Liam Kelly. They want the former Motherwell star on a free transfer. Meanwhile, Gers are interested in ex-Arsenal kid Reuell Walters but another right-back is not a priority. The 19-year-old defender has left the Gunners on freedom of contract. He has admirers on the Ibrox coaching staf f but they are looking to prioritise funds for other positions in Clement’s squad, so will keep a w a t c h i n g b r i e f o n Walters for now. Recruitment chief Nils Koppen has brought in Brazilian left-back Jefte and is working on other central defensive options after the club pulled out of a move for Levski Sofia’s Jose Cordoba. Gers have also signed Oscar Cortes on another season-long loan from Lens with an obligation to buy next summer. ON RADAR Reuell Walters Gers want £500k for McCrorie wasn’t too despondent for too long because within four minutes his side were level. Szoboszlai’s deflected cross was headed on by Orban for his fellow defender Lang to net at the back stick. The home side then created another chance when Idah had a late first-half header but couldn’t keep it on target. Hungary’s defence looked vulnerable to high balls. That would have suited Lyndon Dykes before the Scotland striker was crocked. Both sides made changes in the second half with Celtic defender Liam Scales replacing ex-Hoops loanee Shane Duffy. Hungary dominated in the second period but switched off at the end and were caught on the break by Parrott. It will have at least shown Clarke and his players that there are definite weaknesses they can exploit. Now he can decide, after Friday’s clash with Finland, to watch Hungary take on Israel or rivals Switzerland face Austria. talisman and a lot of their good play goes through them but out of possession they remain quite compact and hard to break down. The visitors rarely looked troubled until the Irish stunned them by taking a 36th-minute lead. Matt Docherty played a ball up the right to Will Smallbone, he swung in a simple cross and Idah got between the three central defenders to power a header into the net. The marking left a lot to be desired and would have left Clarke’s scouting team with something they could possibly exploit in Germany. Hungary boss Marco Rossi Andras Schafer and Adam Nagy provide the legs and protection in front of a three man defence. That included Willi Ordan, Marton Dardai and Lang. Veteran No.1 Peter Gulacsi took his normal place between the sticks. Ireland included just one of their Premiership contingent. On-loan Celtic star Idah led the home attack. Kerkaz was a big threat up the left with his forward surges for Hungary. Skipper Szoboszlai remains their this game because there would be similarities between the Irish and Scottish sides, in terms of style and physicality. They lined up with a 3-4-2-1 formation, almost like a bottom-heavy diamond. Barnabas Varga led the line with Dominik Szoboszlai and Roland Sallai in behind him. The three stand as a trident at the edge of the box looking to put immediate pressure on the ball when it is played out from the back. Loic Nego and Milos Kerkaz provide the width while IRELAND left Hungary sick as a Parrott and showed Scotland how to bring them down at Euro 2024. Irish sub Troy Parrott came off the bench to net an unlikely winner against the Magyars in the Aviva Stadium. The Hungarians had dominated but went behind to an Adam Idah goal before levelling through Adam Lang. But Parrott stunned them in stoppage time to score his first international goal since he netted against Scotland two years ago. Hungary cruised through their Euro qualifying campaign unbeaten. Their run up to last night was 14 before it was brought to a halt in Dublin. Scotland boss Clarke will be hoping that will be the start of their decline.

The 24-year-old play in the opening game in your country in front of your own fans is going to be a very special moment. But it can’t be an occasion we let get to us. “Scotland are going to want to make a statement and are a very good team. In tournaments it is so important to start with the season in such good form.

The former Chelsea forward struggled to settle in his early days following a £65million switch from Stamford Bridge last summer but found his feet SHOCK OF Ralston has a battle for right-back ALAN HUTTON reckons Anthony Ralston faces a battle to convince Scotland boss Steve Clarke he can be his first-choice right-back for Euro 2024. The position is up for grabs following injuries to regulars Aaron Hickey and Nathan Patterson. Bristol City’s Ross McCrorie was handed his debut in the position while Celtic ace Ralston remained on the bench as an unused sub. Ralston is seen as many observers’ pick to start in Munich, despite playing fewer minutes than McCrorie since the turn of the year but Hutton feels it could go the way of either player – and Friday night’s friendly at Hampden with Finland will determine who gets the nod at the Allianz Arena. Hutton said: “I’d imagine we see Ralston against Finland. We felt the Finland game would be close to the starting line-up against Germany so it is a huge game for him. “I think the battle is between those two. It was a big opportunity for Ross and it will be a big opportunity on Friday for Anthony. “I was edging towards Ralston because he has the experience, he has the caps under his belt. “It is a great battle between the two of them.” Muller can handle the pressure THOMAS MULLER admits Germany are feeling the pressure ahead of the big Euro 2024 kick off against Scotland next week. The Bayern Munich veteran won his 129th cap for his country in their goalless draw with Ukraine this week in their penultimate friendly before they face Steve Clarke’s side in Munich. Muller will play at his eighth major tournament this summer and the 34-year-old knows all about opening games in Finals, especially with the Germans having lost their last three. And he’s urged Germany to put everything into getting off to a winning start against the Scots. Muller said: “In my experience, the opening game in a tournament is extremely important. “Of course, the pressure is high, but we are all professionals and love such challenges. Everything is set up for a great tournament. “Feeling this enormous energy from the people gives us an extra boost. If it continues like this and we do our part on the football pitch, it will be the football festival that we all dream of. “I am convinced that we will take this positive energy with us into the games.” FORREST FIRED UP Gibraltar’s Ethan Jolley keeps a close eye on James Forrest during Scotland’s win Everybody thinks you are going to win by five or six but it’s not as easy as that JAMES FORREST REFLECTS ON NARROW WIN

He said: “I think that’s good for the manager to have that option. “I know the boys and the manager have done really well in the last few years, qualifying with a certain formation but I think it’s always good just to have another option. “You never know how the game is going to go, and hopefully I can give him that alternative.” insisted what you see is what you get with this down-toearth Scottish bunch. He said: “A few folk sent that to me and had said about the French boys all turning up in their designer gear. “It was just all my boots that were in there, it was easier to carry them in that! “Then you see the photo of the French boys coming in next to me and KT’s, it’s quite a Scottish photo isn’t it? “We’ve got no airs and graces, and I think me and KT are probably similar like that with our backgrounds. “Nothing has really changed for us. Once I met up with the boys on the first day it was like I’d never been away. “I’ve known all the boys for years so I was looking forward to getting back the Euros, so everybody will be looking forward to that. “We’re quite relaxed about that. I felt as though we could have scored four or five quite easily in the first half, but because we are creating the chances then everyone is still positive about that.” Forrest is feeling pretty chipper too after being drafted into the squad for the first time since the last Euros three years ago. The Hoops hero caused something of a social media stir on his return as well, as pics of him and pal Kieran Tierney arriving together clutching a couple of bin bags went viral – with the duo held up against the French squad that turned up looking like they’d stepped off a catwalk. Forrest laughed it all off and spells. We had so many shots on goal. “The thing is, if we weren’t creating chances then we might have thought about that more but we knew we had subs to come on and freshen it up, and we knew we were creating chances as well. “We just thought we were always going to get that goal at some point. It would have been better to have got it earlier and we could maybe have kicked on but we got there in the end. “The positives are that a few boys haven’t played for a few weeks and they got some minutes in. “It’s our first game and we will take that into Friday, which is our last game before face moment against Gibraltar, the attacker is convinced things are going to work out just fine for the national team.

They hadn’t scored in 10 games and I don’t know the last time that they won. “Everybody thinks you are going to win by five or six but at club level or international level it’s not as easy as that. “They’re still working hard, they are trying to make it difficult for us, and they managed to do that for long TRANSFORMATION Gunners boss Arteta MUCH IN HIS ARSENAL FOR SCOTS JAMES McFADDEN insists Scotland need to peak in Germany, not against Gilbraltar. He admits it was more like a training game as goals from Ryan Christie and Che Adams sealed the 2-0 win in Portugal. But McFadden knows Steve Clarke’s charges didn’t need to be at their best against Gibraltar but do when they kick off Euro 2024 against the hosts. He said: “It’s always tough because you are not measuring yourself against opposition you are going to face when you get to the tournament. “It’s worthwhile because you are taking less of a risk in terms of the opposition. Of course, players can get injured, it can happen in any game, but there are merits to taking the game. “It was like a training exercise which maybe suggests you don’t have to be right at it and we didn’t have to be. “In two games’ time we need to be right at it. It doesn’t matter how we play just now, it matters how we play in Germany.” McFadden believes Christie offers Scotland a different option in midfield as he’s prepared to take risks on the ball. But he knows the Bournemouth ace isn’t guaranteed a start and feels that highlights the competition for places in the midfield. McFadden, speaking on S p o r t s c e n e , a d d e d : “Whether he plays in the advanced roles in the midfield or in the defensive one, competition is really strong in there. “Any time Ryan Christie plays, he’s someone who is a little bit different, he’s more willing to take a different type of risk, he can take players out of the game, he’ll try something that little bit different.” NO PANIC McFadden Scots only need full focus for Germany BY MICHAEL BAILLIE “Germany always have an expectation to win major tournaments and when we are the home nation that expectation is bigger. “For now we just have to focus on the first game and winning the group – then we can start to dream.” are hoping for better fortunes this time after a string of disappointments.

It sounds terrible to say that but that’s just the way it is. It’s natural. “They want to go on the plane, flying to Germany for the Euros and they are involved in what’s going to be a fantastic tournament in the summer so you have to make allowances for that.” Clarke has ordered extra shooting practice after some wayward finishing in the Algarve. Ryan Christie and Adams eventually struck but it was a frustrating night for the likes of Lawrence Shankland. Clarke said: “I think it comes down a little bit to confidence. People are searching for confidence. “Shanks didn’t really have any clear cut chances where you are thinking, ‘go on, he’s getting there.’ “It’s maybe something we need to look at – his positioning, especially on set-plays where he was maybe too far out from the centre of goal. “What can we do about it? Keep practising in training.” Clarke will send out a more familiar side to face the Finns but admitted he’s in an awkward position with his final 26 to be rubberstamped and sent to UEFA by midnight on Friday. He said: “It’s a tricky one to be honest because you can put the team in at midnight on Friday. “You could tell someone on Thursday they are not going and then we pick up an injury on the Friday and you have to give them a cuddle and say, ‘I love you, you’re going.’ “It’s strange that they make us do it like this. But we will find a way.” FROM BACK PAGE Under-21 hitman Conway to the senior squad on the back of Lyndon Dykes getting crocked last week. But attacker Doak’s dream of being the nation’s Germany wildcard has been dashed after the youngster fell short in his fitness battle. The Liverpool kid has not played since December but had been training with Clarke’s group. The manager had hoped to give the wide man minutes against Gibraltar but he wasn’t risked after suffering a slight reaction. Doak now won’t be part of the 26-man squad for Germany that will be confirmed by midnight on Friday – just hours after Scotland’s final tune-up against Finland. But Bristol City’s Conway has the chance to blast his way to the finals as the manager looks to beef up his attacking options. Clarke only has Che Adams and Lawrence Shankland as recognised strikers – but sent for Conway after he scored in the Under-21 defeat in Turkey on Monday. The boss is refusing to panic but he admitted some of his stars were spooked by the Dykes blow in Monday’s low key Gibraltar friendly win. Scotland took an hour to break down a side who have been cannon fodder across the continent and Clarke is looking for an improved display on Friday. But he admitted nerves are jangling ahead of the huge opener against the hosts in Munich next week. Clarke said: “People won’t think of that. They just think of the excitement etc. But until you are actually on the plane and on the way to Germany there is always a doubt in the back of your mind. “Probably what happened with Lyndon on the training pitch the other day spooked them a little bit as well. “You have to understand.

And Robertson confessed that shock came after a bolt of dread had been sent screeching through the playing squad with Dykes’ moment of misfortune. “Obviously losing Lyndon was a tough one for all of us,” said the Liverpool defender. “It made all of us think, ‘Ah, we GET ON LYNDON DYKES’ Euros adventure was ended before it had even begun. But Scotland skipper Andy Robertson is thrilled the big striker is still coming along for the ride.

It was a nightmare moment for both boss Steve Clarke and his players just a fortnight out from their big night in the continental spotlight as they take on hosts Germany in the June 14 opener. Dykes, though, is determined to make the most of a heartbreaking situation and has vowed to travel with the Scots squad to Munich and cheer on Clarke’s men as they bid to stun the three-time winners in their Bavarian backyard. And Robertson is adamant that just because his pal will be consigned to a seat in the stands, it does not mean he can’t help the national team stand tall against Die Mannschaft. He said: “I’ve spoken with Lyndon. I didn’t tell him to stay in camp, because that has to be his own choice.

He plays a big part off the field as well. “Although he can’t contribute on the pitch, he can contribute off it.
