hello and welcome to sportsday. welcome along to sportsday — plenty to come on the cricket in india and tennis in australia later in the programme — but we're going to start in scotland. as the first minister nicola sturgeon has called on football to — in her words — "make sure your house is in order" — after reports rangers players breached covid rules by attending a house party at the weekend. rangers issued a statement to say they were aware of the allegations and had launched an internal investigation. chris mclaughlin has this report. police were called to an address on this street in glasgow in the early hours of sunday morning. fixed penalty notices were issued to ten people. a number of those were

understood to be rangers players. last night the club issued a brief statement saying they were aware and that an internal investigation is now under way. it that an internal investigation is now under way.— now under way. it has taken everything _ now under way. it has taken everything for _ now under way. it has taken everything for me _ now under way. it has taken everything for me not - now under way. it has taken everything for me not to - now under way. it has taken i everything for me not to stand now under way. it has taken - everything for me not to stand here and use expletives when asked about it, generally make sure your house is in order because it should not take me standing here to say to highly paid footballers that you have got to obey the rules. it should not take that. but the fact that it does is very frustrating to me. i don't care if it's celtics or rangers or any other club. it is the second time _ rangers or any other club. it is the second time in _ rangers or any other club. it is the second time in a _ rangers or any other club. it is the second time in a few _ rangers or any other club. it is the second time in a few months - rangers or any other club. it is the second time in a few months that i second time in a few months that players have been caught attending illegal gatherings. jordan and team—mate george edmondson were banned for seven games for a breach last year. both have since left the club. it last year. both have since left the club. , ., ., ' ., , club. it undermines all our efforts at a small— club. it undermines all our efforts at a small minority _ club. it undermines all our efforts at a small minority of _ club. it undermines all our efforts at a small minority of people - club. it undermines all our efforts | at a small minority of people flight the rules_ at a small minority of people flight the rules and then he puts the whole

in daily to allow for social distancing to still be observed. they'd have to pass a lateral flow test. . .with results available within 20 minutes. and i spoke to the chester racecourse ceo richard thomas about how their grand plans came about.... we all know that these boys will be opened eventually and it's a case of bringing it to the forefront. i think what we have done is that a lateral flow testing for quite a time now back here at work and we know it works to a greater extent. it makes a lot of sense for us to have an extra layer of security for people coming back into sports and back into this environment but they have been tested and they are able to come out and enjoy themselves. 0bviously to come out and enjoy themselves. obviously a lot of people at home are wanting to get back to sports. who has been involved in this

closed doors with no spectators allowed. it is a price worth paying just to start to open the sport up. our season here is very short maybe 0ur season here is very short maybe until september. if we had a series of tests of 2000 people throughout the summer, by that time september is here and the season is over again and 80% of our income comes from through the gate. it's vital. we have to race here in september of 2019. i have to race here in september of 2019. ., ., ., ., , ., ., 2019. i want to apologise for that icture 2019. i want to apologise for that picture break-up _ 2019. i want to apologise for that picture break-up at _ 2019. i want to apologise for that picture break-up at the _ 2019. i want to apologise for that picture break-up at the start - 2019. i want to apologise for that picture break-up at the start of l picture break—up at the start of sports day. we think we might have it rectified. bear with us. india look to be on the verge of levelling up the test series against england in chennai. joe root�*s side have two days to chase a world record a82 to win the second test. but they had already lost three wickets by the close of play on day three. ben croucher is at the touch—screen for us. bring us up to speed with how things played out on day three. it is

it doesn't swing as much, so that has to be something in the wicket. this one has accelerated bit quickly, but that is also playing on the subcontinent, just like when teams come to england or go to other places in the world where it seems the wickets are different, it's just cricket in different parts of the world. it's important for an end to get experience in certain parts of the team. they can use this bit in the payout. team. they can use this bit in the -a out. . . team. they can use this bit in the .a out. ,, team. they can use this bit in the -a out. , , payout. his play could be in jeopardy — payout. his play could be in jeopardy because _ payout. his play could be in jeopardy because jonny - payout. his play could be in - jeopardy because jonny bairstow is jeopardy becausejonny bairstow is meant to come back into a bedside for the third and fourth test match as i have got somebody like them. he had not played a great deal of cricket over the last year or so but is keeping to a space. he says how
