Rangers eliminated in fresh blow to Derek McInnes
Rangers were eliminated from the Europa League qualifiers after a 3–2 aggregate defeat to Jagiellonia Bialystok. Lawrence Shankland’s penalty briefly levelled the tie at Ibrox, but Nik Prelec’s second-half header secured a deserved draw on the night for the Polish side. The result leaves Derek McInnes without a win in his first four competitive matches as Rangers manager, with injuries to Youssef Chermiti and Tuur Rommens compounding the club’s difficult start. Rangers now drop into the Conference League play-off round against Jablonec and face St Mirren in the Premier Sports last-16 on Sunday.

Duncan Scott reveals his relief after landing Scotland’s first gold medal
Duncan Scott won Scotland’s first gold medal of the 2026 Commonwealth Games by taking the men’s 200m individual medley in a Games-record time of 1:56.28. He described the victory as a relief after helping generate momentum for the Scottish team. New Zealand’s Lewis Clareburt took silver and England’s Tom Dean bronze. Scotland also won gold through Faye Rogers, while Stephen Clegg and Katie Shanahan claimed silver; England took silver in both relay finals as Australia won them.
