Hello and welcome to sportsday. The raith rovers womens team has officially split from the club in protest over the signing of former scotland striker David Goodwillie who was ruled to have raped a woman in a Civil Court Case in 2017, no criminal proceedings were brought. The club said in a statement his signing was a football related decision. Well, raith rovers Shirt Sponsor and lifelong supporter Val Mcdermid Anounced she would be ending her association with the club. She told emma barnet on womens hour that she felt physically sick at the thought of her name being on goodwillie� s strip. People are leaving the club and quite rightly so. This is heartbreaking for me. I love raith rovers. Its been part of my life, my father was a scout for the club and i love the club. There is a big stand there with my name on it.

It is difficult to get women and girls into sport and keep them in sport and all the work that has been done to keep them in the community, the raith rovers community, has been expanding and they have a thriving women and Girls Section and a boy section, and essentially the signing is ripped the heart out of all of that community work, so it is an absolutely horrendous set of circumstances where, as val quite rightly put there, there are people who put their heart and souls into that club and into the community and it seems that scoring goals is more important than your local community, which isjust. I cannot even comment on why that decision was made. ~. ,. , comment on why that decision was made. A,. . ,. , made. More than 140 women and girls are in the womensection made.

Is thisjust rovers but they said they will split. Is this just the first team or how will it work logistically . It is a straightforward thing, it is essentially that you can change your name as a club, that is absolutely fine and continue to participate in the competitions, we want them to know how important they are any women and Girls Landscape in scotland, we have more women and girls and they are such an important part of that and we want to support them as much as they can so they feel happy and safe in participating in the game that they love and we will do everything we possibly can to make sure that that happens.

This is not someone who got in with a bad crowd and stole a car or committed petty crimes, and has learned from it as theyve got older. We are talking about Sexual Violence against women, one of the most abhorrent crimes out there and for someone who has not even shown one shred of remorse or indeed admitted guilt, i dont know how you can rehabilitate someone who does not think theyve done anything wrong.

And representatives from raith rovers havent consented to an interview. Lets ta ke lets take you to celtic and rangers. The old firm match where celtic have the chance to leapfrog rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership if they win tonights old firm match. They host the scottish champions at celtic park later and last time these two sides met it was rangers who came off better but theyve both been pretty evenly matched this season and as miss mclauchlan reports, its going to be too close to call. As Chris Mclaughlin reports. The goal that separated celtic and rangers are not only previous encounter this season. Since then, both sides have once again pulled away from the rest of Scottish Wool but not each other. The reality of it is is that its an important game, its an important game for us in this Football Club for a number of reason, game for us in this Football Club fora number of reason, one, most importantly, for our supporters and secondly we have a chance to go top, and climb up a position which would be good. But after that, we have to dust ourselves off and start again on the weekend. Dust ourselves off and start again on the weekend. Rangers are still celebrating on the weekend. Rangers are still celebrating the on the weekend. Rangers are still celebrating the arrival on the weekend. Rangers are still celebrating the arrival of on the weekend. Rangers are still celebrating the arrival of this on the weekend. Rangers are stilll celebrating the arrival of this man, no aaron ramsey tonight as he is not fit but it has definitely provided a lift. To the extent that one former Striker Cannot see them being defeated. I Striker Cannot see them being defeated. ~. , defeated. I think rangers will still be to of defeated. I think rangers will still be tab of the defeated. I think rangers will still be top of the table, defeated. I think rangers will still be top of the table, i defeated. I think rangers will still be top of the table, i really defeated. I think rangers will still be top of the table, i really do, i l be top of the table, i really do, i think that is key to where you go on for the rest of the season and i still think that rangers will come out of that whether it is a tory win, i dont think they will lose. These games never need hyped up but as well as points, there is a psychological edge to be gained here this evening, celtic are desperate to wrestle the title back from their rivals, there is an expectation that has returned to the east end of glasgow and for the first time in a long time, this is a difficult one to call. And there is commentary on Bbc Five Live tonight as well as bbc sounds, that is at 7 45pm. Roy hodgson has held his First Press Conference since being appointed as the new manager of watford. He replaces the sacked claudio ranieri, once more becoming the oldest manager to take charge in the top flight. The 73 year old has never been relegated from the Premier League and hell obviously be hoping that continues. Watford are in trouble though, theyre currently second from bottom, two points from safety. Im quite confident that the work we do will have an effect. But the proof in the pudding will always be in the eating, it is very important for the players to act well, and what they are asking me to do and for the level of performance, it is necessary because particularly in terms of relegation, it is a dog fight. In their bid to secure promotion back to the Premier League, West Bromwich albion have sacked boss valerien ismael. Theyve taken just five points from their last seven league games and theyre in danger of slipping out of the play off spots. Steve bruce has emerged as the favourite to take over. Hes been out of work since he was sacked by Newcastle United in october, following their saudi take over. West brom have a week before their next game against Sheffield United at bramall lane.

I well timed horn going off in your but theyve made the final before in 2013 when they knocked out none other than the four time champions ghana in the semifinals, few people expected them to make it through that match, they knocked out tunisia in the last game here and did so without their key man, aston villas beltran trower a. Theyve got a real bonus tonight in the fact that in Bertrand Traore, Bertrand Traore is on the site tonight which gives them a big boost and someone else will be driving them tonight, there was a Military Coup in burkina faso, there were overthrown by the military and the coaches and players have been repeatedly talking about how they want to bring joy and happiness to their nation.

I think it would mean very, very little unless he wins something at International Level. Sadio mane on 27 international goals, he is to behind that of henri camara. But as sadio mane said not so long ago that he has won all his club titles, but he has won all his club titles, but he wants to win something with senegal. That is because the west africans have never won anything at International Level and they got to the Nations Cup Final in 2002, but there again in egypt but lost the both those files and it would be something majorfor them to do it but even if they do make it through tonight, they have to beat either record African Champions egypt host cameroon on sundays final which will be no easy task but tonight, kick off is just about 15 20 minutes away, expected to be a long night with both sides tending to play draws on going the distance in the last time i side won a match is backin the last time i side won a match is back in 2007 so we could be in for a long night.

Barcelona have confirmed the signing of Arsenal Striker Pierre Emerick aubameyang. He was signed on a free transfer on monday and he was pictured training with the side yesterday, but its taken until today for barcelona to announce the move. Aubameyang hadnt played for the gunners since a disciplinary breach in december. I think arsenal probably evolved i get away from him technically and tactically, through no fault of his own, they like to play with a Centre Forward who is a bit more of a focal point and brings people into the game from wide positions, drops into deeper holes and that does not suit him so i think the problem started there. And theres more on that story on the Football News Show on the bbc iplayer, with new episodes available every day. We have the first of the Womens League cup semi finals tonight, with the holders chelsea at home to Manchester United.

England captain Heather Knight has been speaking at manuka oval ahead of the first odi weve taken the most momentum. You can see the relief on most of the shilling players when they look to get the draw at the end and for us it felt like a lost and well take a huge amount from it, the way we fought back when we were under the pump, the way we hung in there at times and are able to take it to the last eight and make a game of it was unbelievable and some real good stuff from the last innings as well, that bodes really well going into the early hours, we have not had a huge amount of cricket so for them to get that is really difficult and fraught them to get the fluency they did so hopefully we can take it and be encouraging the girls to go out and put them under pressure. Your fairly straight forward, we know what you got to do as a side, it is three wins, how does that help with the clarity, does it make it a relatively easy job for you the clarity, does it make it a relatively easyjob for you as a captain . Youvejust relatively easyjob for you as a captain . Youve just got to focus on the game and it bodes well, i guess, for what weve got coming up. It is all about winning and winning consistently, and winning in Knockout Game so it will give us huge confidence hopefully if we do well here, so i think it makes things simple. Its been a very quick turnaround, two days, one Training Session and off you go but its the same for both teams and hopefully we can continue to put the pressure on them and take that momentum. Pressure on them and take that momentum pressure on them and take that momentum. W momentum. Thing with cricket, there was a promising momentum.
