Ross County test for Edinburgh City
It will be a huge test against Ross County who were relegated from the William Hill Premiership last season, sensationally losing out to fired-up Livingston in the play-off final with the decisive, second-leg, in Dingwall.
The Staggies obviously seek an instant return to the top league and the match at the Global Energy Stadium is another step on that road.
County come into the game after busy week which has seen them travel over 1,000 miles with trips to Stranraer and then Dumfries to face Queen of the South.
They can't wait to have a home game and manager Don Cowie, who once played for Hearts, said post-match at Dumfries that it was a really hard-fought victory.
He praised Queen of the South for their performance but added that he noted moments of quality in the first half from his men, but the ball just did not drop for the visitors.
The manager felt his men improved in the second-half and he said they then took control of the game.
A 'real moment of quality', he said, put The Staggies ahead and then it was about making sure County came away with a win which improved their position in the section.
He added: 'I was delighted with the clean sheet and the three points.'
Cowie will look for a further three points in Group B against the Citizens. The Staggies record so far? County drew 1-1 at Stranraer in their opener and edged Queen of the South 1-0 with midfielder Jay Henderson netting after 73 minutes.
Partick Thistle, who beat City 4-1 at Meadowbank in their opener, currently top the section with six points with County tucked in behind on four. Queen of the South sit in third with three points, all having played two matches.
Stranraer are fourth also on three points but they have played three games, the same number as City who prop up the table with two points, but fans must have been were encouraged by a 5-3 shootout success over Stranraer at Meadowbank Stadium on Saturday after the sides were deadlocked at 0-0 at full-time.
Manager Michael McIndoe will also be pleased that City had 62 per cent of possession against Stranraer against 38 per cent and he was really encouraged by the showing of his younger players, one of whom, Aidan Burgess, netted the winning penalty.

midfielder is told where he stands

Inner resolve is one of Blair Spittal's strengths and a pivotal reason he managed to work his way up the football ladder to Hearts. Even in lower divisions with clubs like Queen's Park and Partick Thistle, the midfielder believed strongly that his own ability and work ethic could take him to the top. After joining one of Scotland's biggest clubs last summer, he firmly intends to stay there despite increased competition. New Hearts head coach Derek McInnes held talks with Spittal and the rest of the first-team squad following his appointment in May. The 29-year-old was told where he stood and that he would play a role in McInnes' revolution at Tynecastle Park. That has been backed up with involvement in three of this month's four Premier Sports Cup ties and Saturday's friendly against Sunderland. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Hearts have won six of their seven games so far under McInnes, three of which were non-competitive, and are now preparing for Monday's Premiership kick-off against Aberdeen. Spittal is in contention for a starting place in midfield and knows he must work continuously to convince the manager he deserves a place, particularly with seven new signings recruited and at least two more to follow. 'He had a chat with everyone during the off-season. He told me that he saw me having a big part to play,' revealed Spittal, speaking exclusively to the Edinburgh News. 'I played a lot of games last year, but it's about coming in and proving yourself again. It's a fresh start for everyone. It feels like I've had a good pre-season. There's a lot of competition in the squad and all that, but it's up to me when I get the chance to play that I make sure I take the chance. 'You see the competition here and it's fierce. When you get the opportunity to play, it's important that you take it. You're not just resting on laurels, nobody is guaranteed to play in this team. We've got quality all through the team. It's just important that you get the chance and you take it. I've played a couple of 90 minutes so I'm starting to feel good. 'In my career, I've had to battle against it. It's something that I'm wanting to do. I know that I'm at Hearts and the competition is going to be there. It's a massive club. I said when I came in that it's the biggest club I've played for. It's up to me to prove myself. I felt that, in parts, I did that last season but it's a fresh start. You see the signings that we're bringing in and the competition we've got. It's going to be hard, but it's something I'm wanting to get my teeth into.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Whether in central midfield, attacking midfield, out wide or even at wing-back, Spittal offers Hearts tenacity and versatility allied to creativity. He lined up at left wing-back in last week's Premier Sports Cup tie against Dumbarton but slotted into midfield when replacing the injured Calem Nieuwenhof against Sunderland. 'Obviously, wing-back is a position I've played before,' he acknowledged. 'I think all through my career, I've had people ask what my favourite position is. I've always said that as long as I'm playing, I'm happy. That's the good thing about being able to play in different positions - you are able to fill in. I've played wing-back at Dundee United, I've played there at Thistle. I've filled in the odd time at different clubs I've been at. It's a position I know how to play.' He is in no doubt about his best role, nonetheless. He is a traditional central midfielder who likes to attack. 'I feel as though I do a lot of my best work in those positions, picking up wee spaces and getting the ball,' he added. 'I think in the last couple of games I could have ended up with a couple of goals. I certainly got plenty of shots away, it just wasn't to be. I know that if I keep finding those positions and don't get frustrated that goals will come and I'm confident of that.' Hearts scoring goals after Premier Sports Cup ties and EPL friendly McInnes' Hearts team already look to be carrying more of a goal threat regardless of Spittal's frustration in that area. Sixteen goals in four Premier Sports Cup ties preceded another three against Sunderland as players respond to a new approach. 'Coming in last year, there was a bit of an over-reliance on Lawrence [Shankland] to score the goals,' admitted Spittal. 'Obviously, it's good to see the goals getting spread amongst the boys. They come from different scenarios as well - working hard on set-pieces and being able to score goals. I think you can see the work that we're putting in and putting teams under a lot of pressure.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad So, what has changed under McInnes? 'I'm not really sure,' pondered Spittal. 'I think, in a number of games last year, we were good at getting fast starts and putting teams under a bit of pressure in the middle part of the season, but we didn't build on it. In the Premier Sports Cup games, people have seen us as strong favourites, but the longer the games go on at 0-0, it can become a wee bit more tricky and sticky for us. 'We managed to kill that straight away by getting early goals and kind of stifling the opposition. We're getting goals at good times and we're starting to be a threat from all over the park. So, it's important we don't get complacent. Obviously, we've built up a good bit of momentum, but it's nothing now. We're in the next round but it's all about next Monday.' It would be fair to say Hearts look in pretty good shape ahead of the league campaign. There is defensive solidity with only three goals conceded in the aforementioned seven matches - and none lost in the last four outings. Goals are coming from defenders, wingers and strikers. Aberdeen in the Premiership is the biggest test to date and Spittal is confident he and his colleagues are ready. 'Yeah, I think so. We're just about there,' he said. 'Obviously, the manager said it's hard to get the minutes into everybody in this sort of scenario. You've got League Cup games and you've got friendlies, but I think the majority of the squad, we feel ready and we feel good. I feel we've done really well in the games so far and we've managed to build a bit of momentum going into next Monday. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'I think you saw last year in terms of teams building a bit of momentum going into the season. Aberdeen themselves were the prime example, using the League Cup games to get that winning feeling in amongst the squad mentality. I think you can see that in our squad - we're desperate to win. In the last few games, we have kept clean sheets and that builds confidence for the defenders as well when we know we've got goals at the other end of the park.'

Tuesday's briefing: England set for open-top bus parade as Carabao Cup kicks off
Sarina Wiegman led the calls for further investment in the women's game to ensure her adopted country remains a 'trailblazer' for the sport. England's celebrations continue on Tuesday with an open-top bus parade through central London. And the Carabao Cup returns as Barnet host Newport on Tuesday night in the newly-created preliminary round. Touch down for Lionesses The smiles of champions 😁🏆 — Lionesses (@Lionesses) July 28, 2025 The back-to-back European Championship winners were greeted by hundreds of fans at Southend Airport upon their arrival on Monday afternoon. Captain Leah Williamson was first to step off the plane, which was branded with the word 'home' on it, with the trophy alongside head coach Wiegman. Champions visit Downing Street History makers 🏴 — UK Prime Minister (@10DowningStreet) July 28, 2025 Crowds lined the street to cheer the Lionesses as they arrived at Downing Street just before 7pm for a special reception hosted by Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and sports minister Stephanie Peacock. Number 10 was decorated for the occasion with St George's flags draped over the windows and bunting along the railings. After the England squad lined up for a picture outside Number 10 and took selfies inside, boss Wiegman addressed those in attendance. 'We need some more investment,' Wiegman insisted. 'We're not there yet. In England we're up there but England needs to stay the trailblazer, it needs to be the big example. The players first but also the FA, the clubs, the Government, the country, the fans – let's keep being the trailblazers.' Guardiola planning break Man City boss Pep Guardiola (Adam Davy/PA) Pep Guardiola revealed his plans for the future as a recent interview with GQ Spain was published. The Catalan has been at Manchester City since 2016 and ended speculation over his future last season when he signed a new contract to run for another two years. However, Guardiola told GQ: 'I know that after this stage with City I'm going to stop, that's for sure. 'It's decided, more than decided. I don't know how long I'll stop for, a year, two years, three years, five, 10, 15, I don't know. But I will leave after this spell with City because I need to stop and focus on myself.' Transfers edge closer Luis Diaz has left Liverpool's training base in Tokyo to finalise his move to Bayern Munich (Mike Egerton/PA) Luis Diaz took another step towards a 75 million euro (£65m) move to Bayern Munich after he left Liverpool's training camp in Japan. A deal between the two clubs was struck on Sunday and a day later Diaz was given permission to head to Germany for a medical. Other transfers continue to be negotiated with Tottenham youngster Mikey Moore seemingly set for a season-long loan at Rangers, while Jan Bednarek ended his eight-year stay at Southampton after he agreed to join Porto. What's on today? The Lionesses' celebrations continue as they will go on an open-top bus parade through central London along The Mall and end at Buckingham Palace. There is action elsewhere, though, as the Carabao Cup begins. Barnet will host Newport on Tuesday night in the newly-created preliminary round – due to nine Premier League clubs being in Europe and therefore not involved in the first two rounds – with the winner set to host Millwall next week.
