Murray keen to get 'job done' & secure survival against County

BBC News14-05-2025
Simon Murray says he has "loved" being back at Dundee this season, but appreciates the magnitude of their last two league matches.The Dens Park side are two points above Ross County in the relegation play-off spot and five above bottom club St Johnstone, who they face on the final day.A win over Ross County on Wednesday would guarantee their top-flight status for another season and Murray - who has 22 goals in all competitions - is determined to finish on a high."Obviously it's not ideal where we are in the league, but I've absolutely loved it," Murray said."Obviously coming back, we all want to be as high up as the table as we can, but sometimes football's not like that for one thing or another."The most important thing is that you don't give up. You just keep fighting until the end."Obviously the stability for us is making sure we're in the top flight consistently. Obviously last season was great, but on a personal level, I love being back home. I feel like I've had a good season."But the job's not done. I'm just looking forward to making sure the job is done and enjoying a little break."

Real Madrid icon leaves locals stunned as he pops into Scots pub for a curry – before returning the very next night

A REAL MADRID icon left local punters stunned after popping into a Scots pub for a slap-up Indian feast with pals. He also watched his beloved hometown team in action. 4 4 4 Wales legend Gareth Bale headed to The Glendevon Hotel in Auchterarder, Perthshire where he enjoyed tucking into a Tikka Masala cooked by chef Mandeep Saini - who previously delighted customers at the world-famous Gleneagles hotel. The ex-Tottenham star enjoyed the experience so much, the party returned the following night for more football and curry. And he got the result he'd have hoping for too as he watched hometown club Cardiff City beat Swindon 2-1. The 35-year-old, who retired from the game two years ago after a stellar career in which he won five Champions Leagues with Madrid and 111 caps for his country, delighted locals with his 'down-to-earth' charm. He even posed for snaps and signed autographs. The bar manager told the Scottish Sun: "I suspect they were all staying at Gleneagles which is just nearby, but they came here both nights. "He and a few of his pals came along around 6pm, they chose to sit facing the big screens to catch the game - it's the best view in the house. "They had a big feast cooked by our chef Mandeep - who still cooks the delicious recipes he used at Gleneagles. "It obviously went down well - we couldn't believe when they walked back through the doors for round two on Tuesday night. "He was so lovely, polite and down to earth. Micah Richards gasps 'you said that?' as Gareth Bale makes shock revelation live on TV "There was a bit of a crowd on Tuesday night, with the talk spreading through the town, and Gareth was so happy to chat and pose for pictures for fans. "We'd gladly welcome him back - what a lovely customer." It is thought the star, who is well known for his love of golf and has cut his handicap from 'three or four' to just 0.1 since retiring from football, was staying at Gleneagles. Famous faces are often spotted at the quaint, bustling town - with luxury hotel often playing host to the likes of Rod Stewart, Jennifer Lawrence and prince William and Kate.

Saints acquire WR Devaughn Vele from Broncos

August 21 - The New Orleans Saints traded for wide receiver Devaughn Vele on Tuesday, sending two draft picks to the Denver Broncos to complete the exchange. The Broncos get the Saints' 2026 fourth-round pick and 2027 seventh-round pick for Vele, who was selected in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft out of Utah. The 6-foot-5, 210-pound wideout finished third on the Broncos in catches (41) and receiving yards (475) and tied for third in touchdown catches (three) as a rookie. Vele played in the Broncos' first preseason game on Aug. 9 and caught one pass for six yards. He joins a Saints receivers room that features veterans Chris Olave, Brandin Cooks and Rashid Shaheed. The Broncos' group of receivers was upgraded this offseason, including the addition of third-round draft pick Patrick Bryant, who has caught six passes for 91 yards in Denver's first two exhibition games. --Field Level Media
