'Such a shame Fox is to leave' & 'get VAR in bin'
We asked for your views on Hearts' end-of-season victory at Kilmarnock.Here's what you had to say:Alistair: Definitely not a memorable season, but four victories in a row at the end speaks volumes about Liam Fox. I think he needs to be given lots of credit and he didn't deserve the decision by the board to remove him from the club altogether. I understand the new manager will bring his own men in, but surely a place could have been found for Liam.Alan: Get VAR so far into the bin. To overturn the referee's initial decision of a free-kick to Yan Dhanda then send him off for a challenge that wasn't a challenge was ludicrous. After that it felt good to snatch the three points in a fairly meaningless game on a horrible pitch.Ronnie: Not a great game to be fair and why Dandara decided to keep his foot in is beyond me, pressure of being at a bigger club maybe. Hopefully new manager comes in and clears a lot out and brings in fresh faces because some of these players are really not worth a wage. Bad season all round and the board really do need to look at themselves I am afraid. They have carried out a lot of good things but have certainly left a lot to be desired on the managers they have brought in. Good luck to the departing interim manager and I really hope he gets a gig somewhere good because he has been good for Hearts.Paul: If it wasn't for the Neil Critchley experiment we would have been comfortably in the top half. Tippy-tappy passive football will get you nowhere in the SPFL. We ended up just a couple of points from fourth.Moray: A very poor season and such a shame Fox is too leave the club, he deserved to be kept on in some role. Hopefully next season will be more stable and we all have something to look forward too.

The Bath warrior and local hero who epitomises what rugby is built on, writes CHRIS FOY amid the threat of a breakaway league
What a time for Tom Dunn to strike a blow for rugby's cherished local heroes, just as the notions of identity and belonging are under threat from a global 'travelling circus' rebel league. The 32-year-old hooker was the heart and soul of Bath's comeback win over Bristol, propelling Johann van Graan's side to Twickenham for another shot at clinching their first Premiership title since 1996. Dunn became the poster boy of a blood-and-thunder West Country derby, with his club releasing a social media post showing his muddied, bloodied and swollen face, and the caption 'Tough to Beat'.

Watch: Queen's Club - Women's Event Day One
Update: Date: 12:48 BST 8 June Title: The Queen's champion who reigned for half a century Content: Written by Sophie Brown & Laura Scott BBC Sport 1973 Queen's Club Championships, London, Saturday 23rd June 1973. Olga Morozova, Women's Final When Olga Morozova lifted the biggest trophy of her career, she might not have thought she would be the reigning champion for more than 50 years. But next week she will finally lose her crown when the Queen's Club Championships stages a women's event for the first time since 1973. The winner will get a new trophy, which has the previous champions engraved on it, as the original one could not be located. And the tennis world itself is also a different one to Morozova's days of wooden racquets and taking public transport to events. As Queen's prepares to welcome today's players to its grass courts on Monday, Morozova reflects on a time when rain meant matches were moved indoors on to a tricky wooden court, the event was sponsored by a tobacco company and her prize money for the title was £1,000.

Update: Date: 14:57 BST 6 June Title: Who to watch Content: BBC Sport Brits in Action The British women's number 1, Katie Boulter, will be looking to continue her good form on grass having won the Nottingham Open for the previous two years. She will be looking to be the first British women to win the event since Ann Haydon-Jones in 1969 and follow in her footsteps of winning both the Queen's Club Championship and Wimbledon in the same year. British men's number 1, Jack Draper, is looking to continue his fine year with another win before Wimbledon. Draper won at Indian Wells earlier this year beating Holger Rune in straight sets and currently sits 5th in the world rankings, the highest of his career. Best of the rest American Madison Keys won her first grand slam this year, winning the Australian Open in January. She'll be eyeing up her second grand slam at Wimbledon and a win at Queen's could put her in a good position. Keys has previous success on grass from a 2023 Eastbourne win. World number two Carlos Alcaraz will be looking to continue his dominance on grass as he sets to defend his Wimbledon title for a second time. The Spaniard has won Queen's once before in 2023, the year he won his first Wimbledon grand slam.
