a lawyer and was years ago, went to a lawyer and was advised to make a claim against rangers. this letter to his legal tea m rangers. this letter to his legal team said the club had helping with access to counselling, but offered no apology. it also said... you will understand there are many changes that have affected ranges over the years. the company that owned rangers football club which you referred to as a wing support to your client is in liquidation. how does that make david feel? you feel as though you are going through the abuse again. morally, they are still the same club. the survivors are looking for actual knowledge when, they are looking for communication with the football clubs where they we re with the football clubs where they were abused. the abuse happened at

the safety cells are good, then your favourite team or driver wins through at the end, that gives you the perfect script to that sporting event. would it be good for hamilton to win another one from a british perfect gift? you have also got young drivers and the warhorse of sebastian vettel as well. there are some great young drivers, but the teams they are driving for not well resourced enough to compete with the big names. the six drivers have the opportunity to win that. the focus is on hamilton and battle. it would be good if that one for ferrari, but asa be good if that one for ferrari, but as a brit, i personally would love to see hamilton winning the championship. british number one johanna konta

britain, but he continues to defy the odds and raised his performance even further on stage ii. the odds and raised his performance even further on stage 11. not only did he catch those in front, but with 1500 metres to go he did this. here he goes! a brutal yet brilliant kick late on leading ever else chasing a lost cause. the man once again pot it will take someone special to beat simon yates. that's just about it for sportsday. just a reminder of our top story — gareth southgate has named his world cup 23. it's young and inexperienced but he says he has got the balance right. all the details and reaction to the 23 are on the bbc sport website. you can also follow tonight's europa league final between marseille and atletico madrid on there. but from all of us at the bbc sport centre, goodbye.

hello. generally speaking, the weather is set fair for the next few days. some dry weather and sunshine at times, although today was cloudy for many. that is how it looked in staffordshire. that cloud continues to move southwards through tonight, breaking up all the while. most of us breaking up all the while. most of us left with clear spells. it will turn quite chilly. you can see from the blue and green colours that temperatures will get close to freezing, particularly for north wales and northwards. perhaps a touch of grass frost. they chilly start to thursday, but bright. large amounts of sunshine to take us through the day. patchy fair weather

"bleak", "pernickety", "miserable", "someone who nothing interesting will ever happen to", "stubborn" and "a national disgrace". the list goes on. please welcome a pair of stubborn, miserable, national disgraces — the very funny, jo brand and jon richardson! who said what about themselves —
7:00 pm
can you remember? who is the national disgrace? of course. and i can guess pernickety. excuse me, i can disagree, it would just prove your point. something no one — someone just prove your point. something no one — someone nothing interesting would ever happen to. that is me again. well we have got an hour together, are we going to cheer up? we could swap over. we have not rehearsed for that. other reasons to be cheerful, as football fans — gareth southgate announced england's world cup
