young british coaches, right across me sitting up here and hopefully the role today inspires them from grass roots football into the professional game and if he does do that to individuals, then i'm proud. i'm in this role representing like i said bm me. e coaches and young british coaches. any focus is for west brom. moore will come up against steve mclaren in the championship next season. the former england manager has been given a two year deal at queen's park rangers. he's been out of work for over a year since leaving derby. he had a short spell at qpr five years ago, as an assistant to harry redknapp. he knows the financial limitations at the club but that isn't an issue. teams have shown it every season that you know it's not about budgets, it's not about big players. yes, that can get you a certain way

and that puts pressure on. but there area and that puts pressure on. but there are a lot of clubs like millwall and bre ntford are a lot of clubs like millwall and brentford and bristol city who have proved you don't need a massive budget to get into the play—offs. that is the encouraging thing that i see about this club, that it's probably at a stage where over the next year, yeah, we start going forward. livingston are back in the scottish premiership for the first time in 12 years. they beat partick thistle i—0 yesterday to win their play—off 3—1 on aggregate and they will replace thistle in the top division next season. it's their second promotion in as many seasons. rhona mcloud reports. the lions of livingston have roared back to the top flight. absolutely astonishing. back-to-back promotions from the first division to to championship and now the scottish

premiership — all in the space of two years. the manager david hopkin at the helm is now out of contract and discussions tomorrow for him and his players. they have come through league one and the championship and all the players know they have been offered new deals, it is about adding quality to the squad and we need more experienced players. livingston were last in the top flight livingston were last in the top flight in 2006. a second place finish in the championship set up a relegation play—off with partick thistle. jacobs scored the winner in the second leg. that mayjust send them into the premiership. probably one of the best feelings of my life. the boys deserve it. we have been unreal this season and dug deep for the last four games in the play—offs and we deserved it. we have done it, so and we deserved it. we have done it, so it is a great feeling. we will look forward to next season and

going to parkhead and ibrox. phenomenal. celebrations for livingston, joining st mirren in the premiership. partick thistle have apologised to their fans and will plan for their future in a board meeting in the next few days. the start of the world cup in russia isjust over three weeks away. we've had three important squad announcements today, belgium, spain and argentina. 0ur football reporter john bennett is with me. john, let's start with belgium who are in england's group, it's a provisional 28 man squad and so many of those names are instantly recognisable to premier league fans, romas' radja naingollan left. 15 premier league players and some of the best. we can look at the list ina of the best. we can look at the list in a moment. you are talking about the highest calibre of players, one of the best goalkeepers in courtois.

great defenders. you have vincent kompany. in midfield, de bruyne and hazard and up front lukaku. and chadli is in the squad. de bruyne stands out as the key player. he has had an incredible season in the premier league. perhaps unlucky not to win player of the year. roberto martinez knows how important he is to belgium. de bruyne has been ajoy to belgium. de bruyne has been ajoy to watch evolving. not just season this. i took a strong role last campaign when manchester city didn't win any titles, but you could see how important he became and how vital he was in order to achieve what his club has achieved. that is a provisional squad of 28. a man who

didn't get in, roma's nainggolan. yes, he has had a great season. he is 30 and reaching his peak. it is controversial. there he is. he has been left out and there are protests from some belgium fans. a very popular player. you know it is a good side when they can leave out somebody like that. it is a personality clash. a player in the list, batshuayi. he is the chelsea player. england play them in the third game and hopefully we are already through. spain have named their final 23. already through. spain have named theirfinal 23. only already through. spain have named their final 23. only four premier league players in there. a lot of chelsea players have missed out. some massive names have missed out. the four premier league players 2a5

are there, de gea and silva and cesar azpilicueta and monreal. in terms of names that are missing, you talk of fabregas, alonso of chelsea and morata. he will be disappointed to miss out. i don't think he will be surprised, he has not played very well for chelsea this season. 0nly three goals in 20 games for chelsea. he wasn't in the last squad named in march. but i think it is disappointing for him. de—costa has made him and the surprise is monreal being in the squad ahead of alonso. monreal gets criticised by arsenal fans. he had a decent season. he will be going to russia 2018 ahead of alonso. that will be a surprise to many people. amazing talents are missing from the squad. in the last

hour, argentina have named their squad. 0ne hour, argentina have named their squad. one player not good enough. 29 goals in italy and he has missed out, because there is an embarrassment of riches for argentina. 124 club goals between them. last year's runners up not short of options. thank you. not last year, but the last world cup. thank you. let's have a quick look at some of the days other headlines starting with some more football news. a takeover at sunderland has been approved by the football league. businessman stewart donald is behind the £40 million takeover from former owner ellis short. the club will play in league 0ne next season after back to back relegations. shaun wane has announced his shock resignation at wigan warriors.

it ends a 36 year associaiton with the club, he won every trophy with the club in his 7 years as head coach. he'll leave at the end of the season. and in the national hockey league the vegas golden knights have reached the stanley cup final in theirfirst season, which is almost unheard of. they were 500—1 to become champions at the start of the season. this a story that we brought you over the weekend, that harlequins wanted to make the england defence coach paul gustard their head of rugby, well today it's been confirmed, and the 42 year old willjoining the premiership club after england's tour to south africa this summer. opportunity doesn't always open at the time you hope. the fact that harlequins is such a big club, the fa ct harlequins is such a big club, the fact that they have underperformed, i believe there is a potential here. i would like the coaches to choose

something that is right for me and my family. i know the part i have played with england and the mro ess grieve made —— progress we have made. i will be happy as even else involved in that organisation and the rest of the country when we lift the rest of the country when we lift the world cup. let's get more on this from the bbc rugby union reporter chris jones who got this story first over the weekend of gustard's move to quins. yes gustard is moving from twickenham to the stoop after that england tour of south africa. we have been speaking to gustard and england first and does this leave them ina england first and does this leave them in a hole with the world cup edging closer? a bit of a whole. 15 months from the world cup. so he has got to go out, eddie jones, and find somebody to get the personality

right notjust somebody to get the personality right not just with somebody to get the personality right notjust with him. eddie is more than a capable man and that is a squad anyone would want to be part of. england being tested on different fronts. they have lost games and coaches coming and going. of course, but i think the only way they can do their talk is on the pitch. the players, the coaches and paul gustard will be one, they go out and win 3—0 and his legacy intact and we hope england will win a world cup. he has put two and a half years of work into that. he has had a great time as part of it. not been the best of 2018. but they will look forward to fixing that. for harlequins, it seems like a coup for the club, they have had a rotten year and the players are welcoming this move? absolutely. it has not just been a bad year, it has been a

bad few years and a club of this stature and history need to perform better. gustard is a likeable fell lea la and he ee—— fella. and their problem is has been their defence. and he is england's defensive coach. we know the job he did with absence. he will —— with saracens. he will hope to do a similarjob. england's cricket summer starts this friday at lord's with the first of two tests against pakistan. back in the test squad for the first time in 18 months isjos buttler who has cut short his stint in the indian premier league. hers's our sports correspondentjoe wilson. how do you bat in test match cricket? there are remind erps of way things were done. buttler did

not play many forward defences in india. but his boundary hitting impressed the selectors. jos buttler a key selection when english cricket is trying to enthuse people, engage people, excite people and it struck me that buttler‘s role is to do that and that was a point i put to him when we spoke earlier.|j and that was a point i put to him when we spoke earlier. i try and be positive and score runs. that is what the game is about. however fashion you do that as great cricketers have all generations have done it in their own way. that is what has been asked of me to play a way that suits me. but the bigger picture that you have asked about there, i don't think that... necessarily affects me. but i think thatis necessarily affects me. but i think that is something about cricket as a whole in england and around the world at the minute. especially the team, the team needs to engage with

the public and make cricket very popular. he said shane warne gave him some tips about getting back into test match cricket. but he said there is an open—minded approach that helps explain the presence of 20—year—old spin bowler dominic best in this squad. now, english cricket is investing in raw talent to try and get rid of the stigma of such a disappointing winter. you may have seen over the weekend how chelsea ladies, completed their super league season undefeated. eni aluko inspired the double winners as they came from 2—0 down to beat liverpool. it was her last game for the club before she heads abroad to probably join paris st germain. it has been an emotionally charged week, but you know i can't complain —to week, but you know i can't complain — to end it with a double and

scoring the 100th goal yesterday was just like fate. you ask any professional player how they would wa nt to professional player how they would want to ends their time, it would be at the top. 0n want to ends their time, it would be at the top. on a high. and so you know it just. .. to at the top. on a high. and so you know itjust... to do it twice is unbelievable. i think in 2015 it was done. it was overwhelming. it was a dream come true, to do it again three years later, with a squad full of players from all over the world, amazing people, you know... getting to the semifinal of champions league, all these thing, me getting my 150th appearance for chelsea, it has been an
