£700k midfielder signs, Triantis returns, ex-hero joins - Hibs dream XI if transfer rumours are true
The transfer window will open in a matter of days, and already the rumours around the Scottish Premiership have started, with Hibs no exception after their impressive campaign last year. Set to play in European competition next season, head coach David Gray was able to turn a relegation fight into a revolution, taking the Leith outfit from the bottom of the table all the way to top three, beating Celtic and Rangers on the way. Martin Boyle and Lewis Miller have had their contracts extended by a further year, though doubts remain over key defender Rocky Bushiri, with his contract expiring this summer. A number of names have been linked with Hibs already this summer, as the club eye up another top three finish. But what would Gray's starting XI look like when the new season gets underway on August 2, if the recent transfer rumours are true? Here, The Scotsman assess what Hibs dream team could look like, if the recent transfer rumours are accurate - which can never be guaranteed, with multiple twists and turns expected in the summer transfer window. 1 . GK: Raphael Sallinger The 6ft 5in shot-stopper arrived at Easter Road last week, signing from Austrian Bundesliga side TVS Hartberg for an undisclosed fee. | Alan Rennie Photo: Alan Rennie Photo Sales 2 . RCB: Ryan Porteous Struggled following his nightmare red card at Euro 2024 against Germany for Scotland. He fell out of favour at Watford, and ended the season on loan at Preston North End, but struggled at Deepdale as they flirted with relegation. Could a return home be the right thing for both Hibs and Porto this summer? | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group Photo Sales 3 . CB: Rocky Bushiri The ex-Norwich City man is out of contract at Hibs, with the club still locked in talks over extending his deal at Easter Road, though he has rumoured interest from Millwall. A key player in the club's revival last year, he has become a cult hero with supporters, who'll hope he remains in Leith next season. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group Photo Sales 4 . LCB: Jack Iredale Last season's derby hero had a strong season on the left-hand side of a back three, and does not need replaced. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group Photo Sales

Celina Jaitly embraces Austrian culture in traditional dirndl look
Actress Celina Jaitly, who is an avid social media user, took to social media to share her fondness for Austria's traditional attire—the Dirndl. In a heartfelt note, the 'No Entry' actress celebrated the elegance of the dirndl while also humorously acknowledging the unrelenting cold that often requires a jacket even in summer. Taking to Instagram, Celina posted an image of her wearing a dirndl and explained its significance. She revealed that the dirndl is a traditional dress worn by women in Austria, especially in the alpine regions. With roots tracing back to the 19th century, the dirndl was originally worn by rural women and has now evolved into a proud symbol of cultural heritage, commonly seen at Oktoberfest and local fairs. Celina described the dress as a blend of history and elegance, with its fitted bodice, flowing skirt, and charming apron reflecting the grace of Austrian traditions. The 'Golmaal Returns' actress wrote, 'Dirndl dreams and jacket realities.. Austria, I love you, but can we please warm up a little? The Dirndl (pronounced DEERN-del) is a traditional dress worn by women in Austria, especially in alpine regions. Its roots date back to the 19th century, originally worn by rural women. Today, the Dirndl is celebrated as a beautiful blend of history and heritage, worn proudly at festivals like Oktoberfest and local fairs. With its fitted bodice, flowing skirt, and charming apron, the Dirndl reflects the warmth and grace of Austrian culture.' 'Given the fact that it's so cold where I live in Austria from September until the end of June, I personally can truly enjoy wearing the light Dirndl only in July and August .. always with a warm jacket ready to cover up. So much for the 'eternal summer' vibe,' she added. Celina Jaitly has made Austria her home since 2010, where she lives with her husband, Peter Haag, and their three sons. Deeply fond of the country's natural beauty, she frequently shares glimpses of her life in Austria through social media, offering a peek into her serene surroundings and family moments. Her posts often reflect her strong connection to the culture and landscape she now calls home.

Verstappen seeks record fourth Canada win and trouble-free weekend
The four-time world champion goes into Sunday's race knowing that, if he collects one more penalty point on his racing license, he will automatically miss the Austrian Grand Prix later this month. That, according to his great mentor, Red Bull consultant Helmut Marko, "would be a catastrophe". "He mustn't do anything wrong over the next two weekends and, of course, he will be told not to do anything rash," the Austrian told The 27-year-old, who lies third in the drivers' championship with 137 points, behind leader Oscar Piastri on 186 and his McLaren team-mate Lando Norris on 176, was penalised at the Spanish Grand Prix for ramming into George Russell's Mercedes. "He admitted it was a deliberate action that "should not have happened" following the race, won with supreme self-control by Piastri, but now must survive two Grands Prix without incident before the points total on his license is reduced. "Barcelona was disappointing for us," admitted Verstappen. "Although we gave it everything, it was not the way we would have liked the race to turn out... "We are looking forward to Canada –- the track is unique, has some old school kerbs and plenty of opportunities for overtaking." For Verstappen, the return to a high-speed circuit where brakes are tested to the limit may be welcome as he and Red Bull seek to slow runaway leaders McLaren in the title race. Winless Mercedes Mercedes and Ferrari will also hope for encouragement at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve where a big crowd is likely to give home hope Lance Stroll support as he returns after a medical procedure to reduce wrist and hand pain. Mercedes technical boss James Allison said: "It's a track where we've tended to go well in the past and I'm looking forward to it. We have a few new bits to take and we'll see how we get on." The Silver Arrows are winless since the Las Vegas Grand Prix last year while McLaren, remarkably given their current supremacy, have not won in Canada since 2012 when seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton claimed one of his seven wins at the venue, a record that he shares with Michael Schumacher. Ferrari, always well-supported by the knowledgeable and passionate crowd, last won in Montreal in 2018, but will need a swing in fortune to secure another success, although the circuit has always been a favourite for Hamilton, who claimed his maiden win there in 2007. However, Hamilton arrives in Canada without a single podium finish this year and in need of a boost as he struggles with his car amid much paddock debate about the wisdom of his decision to leave Mercedes, where he won six of his seven world titles. For the 40-year-old Briton, it is not yet a crisis –- he retains total support from Ferrari and team boss Fred Vasseur –- but after nine of the 24 races this year, a long way from being a success. The American Haas team will mark their 200th race by switching to a grey livery that recalls their original colours in 2016.
