Glasgow’s Nathaniel Collins said he was “absolutely gutted” after fighting out a 12-round draw with European featherweight champion Cristobal Lorente at Braehead Arena.Collins, 29, started strongly but the Spaniard, making his third defence, hit back in the closing stages, with the judges unable to separate them in a 115-113, 113-115, 114-114 split decision.Collins had been hoping to set up a crack at a world title fight, with neither boxer coming through the WBC final eliminator.”To me a draw is just as bad as a loss and, you know what, I hope we can run it back, in Glasgow again, and…

Lions running backs David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs are enjoying quite the partnership.

Per ESPN’s Ryan McFadden, it was Carroll’s second-largest margin of defeat as a coach both in the NFL and in college.After the game, Carroll admitted that he’s having a tough time dealing with the disappointing start to the season for Las Vegas.”I’m processing it poorly to tell you the truth because I did expect to win right…

Conor McGregor shared a rare moment of real emotion with media in Newark on Saturday night as he admitted to struggling with his massive fame.Since signing with the UFC in 2013, McGregor has been on a rocket to superstardom that has not been hindered by any amount of issues in or out of the octagon. Multiple lost fights, years of inactivity, public meltdowns and even well-documented legal issues have done nothing to slow the rise of his star.Now, as co-owner of BKFC alongside David Feldman, he has taken on the promotional game where he is helping to build fighters of…

Those Rangers fans who are almost as old as the Campsie Fells, the hills sitting above the club training ground just north of Glasgow, will tell you that Martin was the worst manager they’ve ever known. And that’s saying something. One of his predecessors, Pedro Caixinha, once lost to Progres Niederkorn, the fourth best team in Luxembourg at the time, and ended the night by rowing with Rangers fans while standing in a bush.Martin’s end was chaotic. A draw at Falkirk saw fans once again screeching for his sacking, a pretty much constant and venomous refrain in recent times. He…

The first start of Trey Yesavage’s 2025 season took place in front of a paying crowd of 327 people. Two tickets, according to the Jupiter Hammerheads’ Instagram page, could be purchased for the low, low sum of $15.And considering how Yesavage pitched that night, it was probably a good thing that so few ball fans rolled through the turnstiles at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium in Jupiter, Florida. Making his minor-league debut for the Low-A Florida State League Dunedin Blue Jays, the 2024 first-rounder walked six hitters across 3 2/3 disjointed innings, surrendering just one hit alongside two unearned runs.AdvertisementNothing about…

Russell Martin’s sacking after the 1-1 draw with Falkirk means the 39-year-old is the shortest-serving permanent boss in Rangers’ 153-year history.Despite League Cup progress, there was just one win from seven in the Scottish Premiership, Champions League misery, a winless Europa League start and fan protests aplenty over the four months of his reign. In June he was the “standout candidate”, but in October, his record stands out for all the wrong reasons. Here, Sky Sports take a look at why…What was Rangers’ plan when hiring Martin?

See red zone opportunities inside the 20, 10 and 5-yard lines along with the percentage of time they converted the opportunity into a touchdown.
