The heat on england after another defeat down under. Out of touch and out of step the fa chairman greg clarke admitting today his organisation had lost the publics trust, over its handling of discriminatory remarks made by the former england womens manager mark sampson. Clarke today launched a cultural review into the fas practices, in a bid to tackle the fall out to last weeks meeting of the select committee. 0ur sports news correspondent richard conwayjoins us on sportsday tonight. The fa trying to clear up some of the negative press theyve received since last weeks hearing and address the cultural change needed. Is this review going to have that affect . Greg clark wants that to be the case. He went before the fa council today. We dont know the tone of the speech because cameras are not allowed in but weve got a copy of the speech, and from the words on the page it appears there isa words on the page it appears there is a mea culpa from greg clark, admitting the words he used to the parliamentary hearing were wrong. He described institutional racism claims as fluff to mps, something he retracted but the damage was done. The two messages he wanted to deliver today, he once the fa to be a much simpler organisation and clear in what it is therefore, but the other thing he says is vital is for the fa to become more reflective of the Football Community it serves, develop on a board level or within the council or within coaching roles because one thing that came out of todayis because one thing that came out of today is that cultural review of st georges park, the fas centre of excellence. Some pointed criticism about dan ashfords role there and diversity within its coaching ranks, the fa making big plays about wanting to do more to participate to increase the participation of black and minority ethnic coaches but many people point out there do not seem to be many of them in st georges park. The head of the antiracism organisation ticket 0ut says it is incredible they head of the fa is still in place and he said there is a lot to be done to repair there is a lot to be done to repair the damage but greg clark is trying to make amends for how the fa has conducted itself in recent months. Richard, many thanks. The fa received further criticism today, this time from andy woodward, the former footballer whose revelations of historic child sex abuse in football launched a widespread investigation. It was in front of the Committee Last week that clarke said one of the victims had cried like a baby. Woodward, understanding that to be him, said he was left devastated by the comments. I was devastated. I wont lie to you, its deeply upset me because that was a confidential meeting between myself and two other members of the fa and greg clarke, who came into the room, so i felt let down. I did contact the fa the following day when i had seen it for a response from them but i didnt receive one. That must be disappointing. It was upsetting but he has contacted me since and apologised for what he said. And what was said in that conversation . It was positive because he said he is willing to meet me in the next few weeks when he is available, so i hope it has a positive outcome from that meeting. What would you want to achieve from that meeting . I said this 11 months ago, i have up your vision to make a change for the future of the football industry and its about children and our next generation and i want to make that positive change andi i want to make that positive change and i have all the tools and professional people behind me willing to sit down, and this is about the future of football and like minded people like myself who have gone through this experience in life are Perfect People to make this positive change for the future and we know whats news and we know how to make that happen.

On sunday rangers lost their League Cup Semifinal to motherwell at hampden and last night drew with kilmarnock, leaving them fourth in scottish premiership. Bbc sport scotlands david currie reports. Chris mclaughlin has more now. It never really got going for Pedro Caixinha when he was appointed. Just 230 days ago, some saw it as a progressive others as a lef field appointment. He was defeated in the betfred cup final by motherwell in the semis at the weekend and last night that draw to kilmarnock. The rangers board met this morning, after that Pedro Caixinha took training but then rangers released a statement saying that pedro was appointed in march but results had been disappointing and not commensurate with the level of investment, and that was key because he brought in 11 players and spent around £9 million, not a lot in the English Premier League but a lot in the scottish premiership, so rangers will now have to write this off as an expensive mistake, but you could say they can ill afford to make many more.

How difficult is it to turn a series around after a bad start . Really difficult, they will have to dig deep and then come back on sunday and geta deep and then come back on sunday and get a result in that test match. They do not turn a bad team overnight and im sure that is something that Mark Robertson and the support staff will be saying but australia are looking good at the moment.
