And Finally…

It may not be football but it’s definitely worth a mention.

Aberdeen rower Katherine Grainger has become the most decorated female British Olympian of all time after winning silver in the women’s double sculls with partner Vicky Thornely at Rio 2016.

It was a fifth Olympic medal for Grainger who won gold at London four years ago and silvers at Sydney, Athens and Beijing.

Grainger and Thornley came agonisingly close to gold but were pipped at the end by Poland’s Magdalena Fularczyk-Kozlowska and Natalia Madaj in a very close contest.
