Prior signs three-year Livingston extension
The 29-year-old joined David Martindale's side from Pau FC last summer and went on to make 44 appearances last term and kept 22 clean sheets - the highest of any Livingston goalkeeper in a single season.
Prior played a pivotal role in a campaign that saw Livi concede the second-fewest goals across the SPFL and secure an immediate return to the top flight thanks to their play-off win over Ross County.

Scottie Scheffler kills Rory McIlroy battle cry stone dead as world's best brutally underlines his brilliance
Sizzling Scottie Scheffler silenced a partisan home crowd as chants backing home hero Rory McIlroy were swept straight into the Atlantic Ocean. Supporters in Portrush turned the dial up to 11 to back McIlroy for his final round but the brilliance of the World No.1 soon told as he raced out to a three under start as he closes in on his fourth major. McIlroy received a rock star ovation on the first tee in scenes akin to the reception players receive when starring in A-list team events such as the Ryder Cup. And the cries from the crowd continued onto the course but they had little effect on Scheffler who marched to the beat of his own tune.

He said: Not to say it was a Ryder Cup atmosphere earlier but there were certainly a good number of "let's go Rory" shouts as Scottie Scheffler walked up the fairways. "Those have died off as that gap on the leaderboard grows between the world number one and the world number two."

Scottie Scheffler ally insists he'll never be the same as Tiger Woods because he's missing one thing
Jordan Spieth insists Scottie Scheffler will never be the same as Tiger Woods. The World No.1 is racking-up milestones to match the 15-times major winner and drawing big comparisons from his peers. Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele and Shane Lowry were amongst those who talked about the historical context and sizzling nature of Scheffler's blistering current run.

Spieth says his fellow Texan's his very differing traits and explained: "I think more so maybe it's less the golf swing and maybe more of his personality. He doesn't care to be a superstar. He's not transcending the game like Tiger did. He's not bringing it to a non-golf audience necessarily. 'He doesn't want to go do the stuff that a lot of us go do, corporately, anything like that. He just wants to get away from the game and separate the two because I know at one time, he felt it was too much, that he was taking it with him and, whenever he made that switch, I don't know what it was, but he has hobbies. 'He's always with his family. They're always doing stuff. I think it's more so the difference in personality from any other superstar that you've seen in the modern era and maybe in any sport. I don't think anybody is like him. 'He has that unique ability, from best I can tell, to separate. But again, when I see him, I'm at the golf course. I see him here and there off the course, but when we're playing on the course at home, he sh*t talks. He's very witty. You can't really go at him because he's smart and he's got good bulls***. 'I mean, it's not necessarily just to me. It's normally the other people that we're playing with. But not that I want to say it, I'm not going to quote him on that kind of stuff. 'But then when a tournament starts, he's incredibly competitive, as you see. He's kind of plotting along. You won't see that much emotion as he continues to strike it like this because the only time you're going to see it is when he's on the greens if he misses putts because he's not missing many shots. 'I wouldn't necessarily think that the golf swing makes as much of a difference as the personality match. I'm thinking about so many other sports. Nikola Jokic is the only guy I can think of that's a superstar that's equally unassuming in any sport in the modern era and I'm happy if anybody else can find another example, but it's very rare. Most people lean into it and take advantage of it. 'Roger Federer, he's maybe the same kind of demeanor and person. As a person he's different, but he made more off the court than he did on all the time and he cared to. When Scottie is done playing, he's not going to show back up at tournaments. I can promise you that.' Spieth and Scheffler came up through the ranks at roughly the same time in Texas and the 2017 Open champion, who will go back to the scene of his Birkdale triumph next year, said: 'Obviously he won a US Junior, like he was a great junior, but I think maybe after the Ryder Cup, watching him when he beat Jon [Rahm] and then when he came and won in that playoff in Phoenix, it's like, now he knows he didn't have to do anything different and he's good enough to win any week. 'He's obviously well-deserving of it, probably the most deserving player of it {The Open]. And I've thought the way that his game is the last few years, the harder the conditions, the better for him over here. "If there's ever a chance for someone to take him down, it's when it's benign. But he's been putting so well, I have a hard time thinking anybody else would get it done.'

Hamilton Accies remain in the dark over transfer embargo as SPFL refuse to offer clarity
The SPFL have declined to comment on Hamilton Accies' ongoing transfer embargo, as the club charges towards the start of the new League One campaign. Accies - who were hit with a transfer embargo at the start of last season after late payments were made to players due to what the club called 'a banking error' - were relegated from the Championship last season after a 15-point deduction was imposed by the SPFL in the final few weeks of the campaign. The club was punished for breaching 'multiple' SPFL rules, including a charge relating to "a failure to notify the SPFL of remuneration defaults in respect of six players and a failure to act with the utmost good faith in its representations to the SPFL regarding the lifting of a transfer embargo after previous remuneration and tax defaults." READ MORE: Albion Rovers boss knows what to expect from Cumbernauld Colts after club raided them for players this summer READ MORE: Football legend Frank McAvennie gets behind women's football team in shirt deal Other charges related to membership criteria and incorrect information regarding stadium ownership, while the club was also fined £9,000. An appeal to the SFA on all charges was kicked out in May. Accies have since moved out of their hometown, leaving New Douglas Park after a fallout with the stadium owners and agreeing a two-year lease at Broadwood Stadium in Cumbernauld to play home matches. But their woes are far from over as the club is still unable to sign players with their League One opener at home to Montrose just over a week away. Under SPFL rules, a transfer embargo is automatically imposed when a club fails to pay its players or taxes on time. Lanarkshire Live Sport contacted the SPFL to determine how long the transfer embargo is in place for, but they declined to comment on Hamilton's situation. Hamilton Accies themselves insist they are in the dark on an exact timeline but Accies boss John Rankin stated last week he hoped the ban would be lifted by this week. Last month, Accies agreed deals in principle to sign defender Ricki Lamie, forward Matty Yates and defender Aaron Comrie but none have come to fruition yet. Lamie featured as a trialist in recent Premier Sports Cup games against Stirling Albion and Hearts, while former Airdrie midfielder Charlie Telfer has also featured as a trialist. On July 16, Rankin said: 'We can't bring any signings in. You've seen trialists in the last two games, we'll see how the situation develops over the next week to 10 days. Hopefully we can get bodies in after that." Accies continue their Premier Sports Cup campaign tonight away to Dunfermline and then host Dumbarton at Broadwood on Saturday.
