Slicker the fall guy, but deeper problems for woeful Scots
It was hard not to bring this exchange to mind as we all watched poor Cieran Slicker's Scotland debut through the cracks of our fingers at Hampden. The young keeper was thrown in for his international bow after just six minutes, with Angus Gunn limping off following a collision with Iceland forward Andri Gudjohnsen. Barely a minute later, he was picking the ball out of the net as Gudjohnsen - son of Eidur - punished his poor clearance to bend a beauty past him into the top corner. As another clearance went astray soon after, and his head dropped, you couldn't help but feel for him. When he played his part in a calamitous second for Iceland just before the interval, the final touch coming off of Lewis Ferguson, you almost wanted to give him a hug. Then, when Victor Palsson's header somehow slipped through his grasp and into the net just after the break, you were almost willing Clarke to perform a mercy act and remove him from the action. Ironic cheers from the Tartan Army when he made a simple catch were hardly productive, either, and almost as much of a poor show as the Scotland players put on on the night. In Slicker's defence, he was anything but match sharp. It is quite the conundrum why Steve Clarke turned to a man who had made just one first team appearance this season - and even that was as an 81st minute substitute in an FA Cup tie against Bristol Rovers in mid-January – instead of Robby McCrorie, who had at least made 26 appearances for Kilmarnock. An illustration of the dearth of options, granted. Maybe he felt because it was a friendly, he could experiment a little. But then, that would be entirely out of character, with the rest of his line-up largely a reversion to the back three system that we thought may have been a thing of the past after the disastrous European Championship campaign. It was a mess. Not only did the Scotland players look as though they had never played the formation before, they looked as though they had never met. The presence of Grant Hanley at the centre of that backline, willing servant as he has been for his country, was just as puzzling as the fact that despite having five strung across the back when Iceland had the ball, Scotland still appeared wide open. And most worryingly of all, where once this was a formation that squeezed the best Scottish players into the line-up and mitigated the flaws of others, it now brings out less than the sum of the parts of what is, at least on paper, a talented group. On this pitch were the best midfielder in Serie A in Scott McTominay, his fellow Serie A winning teammate Billy Gilmour, Coppa Italia winning Bologna captain Lewis Ferguson, an English Premier League winner in Liverpool's Andy Robertson and Aston Villa captain John McGinn. But none of them performed anywhere near the levels they were capable of, and they were deservedly beaten by a side who, with respect, were made up of players from club sides who are largely paupers by comparison. There were one or two reasons to be mildly cheerful, over and above John Souttar's headed equaliser. George Hirst looked busy enough up front, putting a header just over, at least forcing a good save from Elias Rafn Olaffson and being denied his first Scotland goal only by a VAR check spotting McTominay offside in the build-up. Max Johnston got a run-out on the right, and it was his corner delivery that Souttar converted. Lennon Miller came on for his debut. But, erm, that was about it. Clarke had spoken in the build-up to this game about how he wanted to address the abysmal record he has had in friendly matches as the coach, with just two wins from 12 matches. And those were against Luxembourg and Gibraltar. Scotland overall have now won just three of their last 21. He joked he had stressed the importance of arresting that run to his players in colourful language. But it was the Tartan Army who were turning the air blue being forced to sit through this, having paid a pretty penny to do so too. This was as sparse as Hampden had been for a match in quite some time, and while there were some mitigating factors – the fact it was an end of season friendly, less than glamorous opposition, the game being live on the telly – there is no doubt that the pricing structure played a part in that too. Adult tickets were priced between £40-£45, and while this match was also folded into the five-match discounted package for Scotland Supporter's Club members, the Scottish FA were hardly encouraging walk-ups by pegging the prices at such a level. Had they known what they were about to be subjected to, even less would have bothered. You don't often get international friendlies these days, and thank the good lord for that. If the fans didn't get anywhere near value for money, Clarke certainly got plenty food for thought.

Read Madeleine McCann prime suspect Christian Brueckner's sick letter in full – including chilling ‘no body' gloat
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A LETTER written by prime Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Brueckner has been exposed, with the sex fiend goading cops by saying: 'Is there a body? No, no no.' The German paedophile bragged in the bombshell letter that cops do not have the evidence to back their accusations against him in the Madeleine investigation. 12 Christian Brueckner letter in which he brags about police never being able to pin the case on him 12 Madeleine McCann prime suspect Christian Brueckner arrives in court in Braunschweig, Germany last year Credit: Dan Charity 12 Madeleine McCann who has been missing since 2007 Credit: Alamy He wrote: 'It is the important questions, the decisive questions that can never be answered. 'Was I or my vehicle clearly seen near the crime scene on the night of the crime? 'Is there DNA evidence of me at the crime scene? Are there DNA traces of the injured party in my vehicle? 'Are there other traces/DNA carriers of the injured party in my possession? Photos?" Brueckner - named as a Madeleine suspect for five years without charge — has also revealed a creepy knowledge in letters of how the German legal system works in his favour. He wrote: 'You know, of course, that in Germany you don't have to prove your innocence as a suspect, but that the public prosecutor's office has to prove that you are clearly guilty. 'Even the slightest doubt leads to an acquittal, if there is a court hearing at all.' Brueckner even claims the case against him is built on 'purchased witnesses' and reveals his awareness of his global notoriety. He wrote: 'Now, my path is paved with misjudgements, so to speak, but from now on the whole world is watching. 'Not even the Braunschweig regional court will now dare to make an obvious misjudgement. 'Even if an attempt is currently being made to create a shocking overall picture of me through purchased witnesses, it is the important questions, the decisive questions that can never be answered with 'yes'. Madeleine McCann cops call off search as trawl of Brueckner's 'rat run' turns up nothing "And, not to forget, is there a body/corpse? All no, no no.' He adds: 'You don't have to be a realist like me to predict that the accusations made against me will not hold up and that the investigation will be dropped.' In another letter seen by The Sun, Brueckner described how he used his drifter lifestyle to avoid detection. He wrote: 'Do you know that I was a drug dealer at that time in 2007? Investigators know this. 'I bought marijuana in Spain and sold it on beaches in the Algarve. 'I was never caught by the police because I followed a few principles. 'If possible, only drive during the day so that my battered hippie bus doesn't attract so much attention, only drive the necessary and most importantly, never provoke the police.' He added: 'Together with my dog and a lover at the time I enjoyed the 'temporary hippie life'.' 12 The vile letter emerged as officers desperate to find a forensic link to him flew back to Germany after a new three-day search in Portugal 12 German prosecutors are convinced of the predator's guilt 12 Police searching various sites in and around the resort of Praia da Luz Credit: Dan Charity 12 A criminal police investigator inspects an abandoned home in the fresh Madeleine search Credit: Reuters He also whinges he has been framed so he can be scapegoated over the Madeleine case. He wrote: 'Right from the start they plotted a miscarriage of justice to make me vanish into thin air. And now half the world knows why.' And he adds: 'I am not exaggerating when I say that 80 per cent of what I have heard from the reports is not true. 'A large proportion of these lies are clearly being spread by the investigating authorities. My words are directed at those who are taking this seriously and are not laughing about it. 'Those who want to understand how brutal the German justice system is in its attempts to hammer through its own law, even if nothing is true.' The vile letters emerged as officers desperate to find a forensic link to him flew back to Germany after a new three-day search in Portugal this week. Scores of cops painstakingly combed scrubland near Praia da Luz with JCBs, radar and fingertip searches, believing the tot or her pyjamas could have been buried there. German prosecutors are convinced of Brueckner's guilt. It comes just weeks after a Sun investigation was broadcast on Channel 4 that revealed bombshell evidence found at the suspect's lair. The disturbing evidence demonstrated Brueckner's obsession with young kids. We revealed he wrote horrifying fantasies about abducting and abusing a blonde toddler — and how this would leave him 'in paradise'. He also boasted in online forums about his desire to 'capture something small and use it for days'. Brueckner remains in prison in Germany where he is serving a seven year term for rape. The 48-year-old convicted paedophile faces having his hopes of being released from jail in September scuppered after reportedly being accused of new offences against prison guards behind bars. 12 A recent image of the barn 12 The barn in 2007 appearing to have a tent set up The latest search to find DNA or forensic links on the case appeared to have ended without success on Thursday. Police were seen taking fibres by hand while a hole was dug at the site of an apparent tent from around the time of Madeleine's disappearance. However, it was unclear whether the search had found anything with enough potential value to the case to be sent back to Germany for testing. Brueckner had already moved out of his cottage in Praia da Luz when three-year-old Madeleine, from Rothley, Leics, arrived with parents Gerry and Kate and her two-year-old twin siblings. He was living in his car, or wild camping in areas including this week's search site. Brueckner's letters "It is the important questions, the decisive questions that can never be answered. 'Was I or my vehicle clearly seen near the crime scene on the night of the crime? 'Is there DNA evidence of me at the crime scene? Are there DNA traces of the injured party in my vehicle? 'Are there other traces/DNA carriers of the injured party in my possession? Photos? 'And, not to forget, is there a body/corpse? All no, no no. 'You don't have to be a realist like me to predict that the accusations made against me will not hold up and that the investigation will be dropped. "You know, of course, that in Germany you don't have to prove your innocence as a suspect, but that the public prosecutor's office has to prove that you are clearly guilty. 'Even the slightest doubt leads to an acquittal, if there is a court hearing at all.' 'Now, my path is paved with misjudgements, so to speak, but from now on the whole world is watching. 'Not even the Braunschweig regional court will now dare to make an obvious misjudgement. 'Even if an attempt is currently being made to create a shocking overall picture of me through purchased witnesses, it is the important questions, the decisive questions that can never be answered with 'yes'. 'Do you know that I was a drug dealer at that time in 2007? Investigators know this. 'I bought marijuana in Spain and sold it on beaches in the Algarve. 'I was never caught by the police because I followed a few principles. 'If possible, only drive during the day so that my battered hippie bus doesn't attract so much attention, only drive the necessary and most importantly, never provoke the police. 'Together with my dog and a lover at the time I enjoyed the 'temporary hippie life'. 'Right from the start they plotted a miscarriage of justice to make me vanish into thin air. And now half the world knows why. 'I am not exaggerating when I say that 80 per cent of what I have heard from the reports is not true. 'A large proportion of these lies are clearly being spread by the investigating authorities. My words are directed at those who are taking this seriously and are not laughing about it. 'Those who want to understand how brutal the German justice system is in its attempts to hammer through its own law, even if nothing is true.' The seeming failure of longshot searches for any traces of Madeleine this week is the latest in a string of blows for the case. German authorities who maintain Madeleine is dead are racing to find a way to keep highly dangerous Brueckner behind bars after he was cleared of rape claims last year. He told this week he plans to 'hide' when he is released, as soon as September 17, taking hopes for the Madeleine case with him. The drifter was jailed in 2019, convicted of the 2005 rape of an American pensioner just streets from the Ocean Club, where the McCanns stayed in Praia da Luz. The Sun investigation aired on Channel 4 revealed the existence of computer hard drives which were vital in to persuading investigators of Madeleine's death. Our findings placed Breuckner at key Madeleine search location the Arades Dam, in Portugal. And a document puts him at the location — where he allegedly said 'she did not scream' as he discussed her with an associate. In the online message where he brags to another sicko that he really wanted to 'capture something small' he adds it would not matter 'if the evidence is destroyed afterwards'. German investigators last night remained hopeful British police might rejoin the investigation as an active inquiry. 12 One of the derelict and abandoned properties close to Praia da Luz, Portugal Credit: PA 12 Police searching various sites in and around the resort Credit: Dan Charity

England football ace Millie Bright leaves fiancé & falls for married personal trainer ‘in a big way'
'The fall-out has been enormous, but Millie has fallen hook, line and sinker for her ideal man', claims an insider Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ENGLAND football ace Millie Bright has left her fiancé and fallen for a married personal trainer. The Lionesses defender, 31, pulled out of Euro 2025 this week — stating she was unable to 'give 100 per cent mentally or physically'. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 England football ace Millie Bright has left her fiancé and fallen for a married personal trainer Credit: PA 4 We can reveal Millie has split from husband-to-be Levi Crew and grown close to a fitness instructor - who The Sun is not naming Credit: Instagram 4 The move comes after the Chelsea captain's shock decision to quit England's Euro 2025 squad Credit: Alamy We can reveal she has split from husband-to-be Levi Crew and grown close to a fitness instructor. It is understood he has now left his wife and is living at Chelsea captain Millie's luxury house. There is no suggestion either of them cheated on their partners. Pals said Millie — who won Euro 2022 and led England to the World Cup final in 2023 — met the trainer last year after starting to work out at a gym in Redhill, Surrey. Sources say she later struck up a friendship with the married dad, who we are not identifying. Earlier this year she split from Levi, and the trainer broke up with his wife 'out of the blue'. A source told The Sun: 'Millie's shock withdrawal from the England squad ahead of Euro 2025 left fans open-mouthed. 'She has always loved playing for her country, and spoke of her pride in doing so.' They went on: 'She has fallen for this guy in a big way, and that has come with some big sacrifices. "The fall-out has been enormous, but Millie has fallen hook, line and sinker for her ideal man.' England Lionesses announce squad for Euro 2025 after THREE withdrawals Other sources close to Millie stressed her withdrawal was based purely on her need for an operation to fix a long-term injury. Millie and Levi shared a home in Surrey and their families were close. In December 2023, she announced their engagement on social media, flashing her diamond ring on holiday in Mauritius. She has referred to Levi as her 'king' who was with her 'through thick and thin'. She even has a tattoo of his eye on her arm which has been shown prominently in official squad photos. But fans noticed she had removed any mention of him from her social media accounts and deleted the engagement post. Millie has undergone minor knee surgery after a stellar season with Chelsea, winning the treble and finishing unbeaten domestically. She said pulling out of the upcoming Euros in Switzerland 'was not an easy decision', adding: 'I just don't feel 100 per cent mentally or physically in a position to go on and compete in a tournament.' She aimed to 'get myself back in tip-top condition and just happy again, I think, all round, just feeling like myself'. England's first game is against much-fancied France on July 5. Last night a spokesman for Millie declined to comment.
