It was a return to our normal blustery parkrun weather today after 2 weeks of virtually wind free conditions (an unusual occurrence at Montrose) but obviously we were needing the cobwebs to be blown away again At the half way point the colours and scent of the gorse & broom certainly helped to put a ‘spring’ in the steps of participants today After this picturesque part of the course you reach the ‘pebble path’ where I for one keep my eyes peeled to the ground in order to avoid stumbling Those who have the breath to chat the whole way round are usually a tad quieter along this stretch We welcomed visitors from various parts of the compass today - always great to welcome new faces Special mention to Sam Pickett who was running his 300th parkrun He always looks as if he’s just gliding along - oh to have those long slender legs parkrun wouldn’t happen if we didn’t have volunteers We do have a regular core who give up their time on Saturdays however we always welcome more- even if you volunteer once in a blue moon that would be a bonus We don’t like seeing those sad pet pictures pleading for help for a Saturday morning our thanks go to Ian who takes great photos of all the smiling? faces - each & everyone determined to complete parkrun whether running Let’s see if we can beat this number next Saturday! © parkrun Limited (Company Number: 07289574) No part of this site may be reproduced in whole or in part in any manner without the permission of the copyright owner.

Montrose's SWPL survival hopes were boosted with a narrow 2-1 victory over fellow strugglers Spartans. Georgia Carter broke the deadlock after half an hour when she latched onto the rebound of Tally Robb's shot which hit off the post. Cacee McKenna levelled for Spartans 10 minutes later, she capitalised on confusion in the Montrose box to send her low strike beyond Kirsten Pratt and into the back of the net. Louise Brown scored what proved to be the winning goal on the 74th minute when she latched onto a ball over the top to head home. The result moves Montrose level on points with Spartans but keeps them in the relegation zone due to the latter's superior goal difference.

Caley Thistle boss Scott Kellacher thanked his “brave” players after they rounded off their survival season with a 2-0 League One win at Montrose The Inverness were club plunged into administration and hit with a 15-point deduction in October but Kellacher replaced Duncan Ferguson and has guided the largely young side to 14 wins in 25 games Last week’s 3-0 victory over champions Arbroath kept them safe and this final result meant they finished seventh Kelty Hearts’ 2-1 victory over Alloa prevented the Highlanders from rounding off the most testing term in sixth position With only a five-point deduction at the start of next season, all eyes will be on ICT to aim for the title, which was spoken about by Kellacher last week. Goals from Paul Allan and Billy Mckay earned the visitors maximum points at Links Park in what was a commanding performance on the whole with plenty of easy-on-the-eye play to cheer their fans Kellacher said: “The performance was really good “We have really good footballers within the team “I can’t thank the players enough for the effort and commitment they have given us throughout the season “They have been so brave – they are young boys and it could easily have gone the other way and been counted – they have been excellent “They played with a freedom and enjoyment on their faces The players enjoyed it and so did the fans “We wanted to enjoy it and put on a performance To finish clear of main relegation rivals Annan who play off against League Two fourth-placed Elgin City next week He said: “It didn’t feel comfortable a few weeks ago but the boys stuck with it and remained focused “All credit goes to the players and fans The way the club has pulled together is what we were wanting “We want to build this club into what it’s capable of “We didn’t hide the fact our aim was to stay in the league this season but we have to aim for the title next year “It was hard with the 15-point deduction “We want to get back to the top leagues “I have a big smile on my face because I have enjoyed watching them play I give them the freedom and I tell them what I want on the training ground and they take that on the pitch more often than not.” Kellacher now plans to talk contracts with players while Alan Savage’s £800,000 offer for the club should be decided later this month The main team news for Inverness was between the posts with number one Musa Dibaga out for three months with a torn hamstring That meant a return on an emergency loan for Celtic B keeper Marcus Gill for a third successive game The sole change from last week was James Nolan replacing Matthew Strachan Gill was the first keeper called into action when he superbly pushed away a net-bound Aidan Quinn shot after Graham Webster’s drive was initially blocked Inverness took time to find an attacking mode but they were aided by Montrose’s inability to clear their lines on 19 minutes and Charlie Gilmour was not far off the mark with a drive turned wide by Keir Bertie for a corner Keith Bray, who goes to Dunfermline Athletic in the Championship this summer after being loaned back following his signing in January was keen to add to his 11 ICT goals this term with Ryan Matthews on hand to deny him twice in quick succession Allan, who scored two goals to win here late in December then drew a decent save from Matthews from a 20-yard free-kick just before Kieran Freeman shot just wide at the other end Inverness nudged in front when Mckay was picked out on the left side of the box and his cut-back was slotted home from close range from Allan which the keeper saved just after the break Then Mckay had an effort hooked off the line as ICT pressed for a killer second goal in front of the vocal away fans The points were as good as in the bag on the hour mark though as Mckay lashed a searing 20-yarder into the bottom right-hand corner after Bray lined him up The last chance came late on when Gill got down to divert a Webster shot wide for a corner For more Caley Thistle news and updates visit our dedicated page and join our Facebook group Comments are currently disabled as they require cookies and it appears you've opted out of cookies on this site.

Inverness now wait to discover if they can move out of administration on Thursday, May 22 as a vote on a company voluntary agreement will take place but Inverness will start next season in League One on -5 points due to SPFL rules on clubs going into administration Head coach Scott Kellacher confirmed in a press conference on Thursday that the club are free to offer current players contracts, but can’t sign new players until coming out of administration Interim chief executive Charlie Christie confirmed earlier this year 75 per cent of the enitre squad are out of contract this summer Montrose had the first real chance of the match when Graham Webster was left unchallenged from eight yards and his shot was heading towards the bottom left corner. But his shot was parried away by Marcus Gill. Caley Thistle’s first real chance of the match came midway through the first half when Keith Bray, who played his final game for the club before moving to Dunfermline Athletic, beat the offside trap and charged towards goal But he shot directly at Montrose goalkeeper Ross Matthews who gathered the ball comfortably Inverness looked to pile on the pressure and came close again when they were awarded a free-kick at the edge of the box Allan, who scored twice in Caley Thistle’s 3-2 win at Montrose in December saw his free kick get around the wall and had to be parried away by Matthews to be denied finding the net Inverness went close again when Bray saw his shot blocked by Matthew and the ball fell to Mckay who from the edge of the box lobbed the ball towards goal which had to be headed off the line by Webster Montrose should have taken the lead just before half time when Gill parried Paul Watson’s free-kick straight into the path of former Inverness player Matheus Machado. But from six-yards out he blasted the ball over the bar Inverness took the lead scored on the stroke of half time as Billy Mckay sent a ball into the box to find Allan who fired home from close range Inverness doubled their advantage in the 57th minute when Mckay was left unchallenged 12-yards from goal fired a low drive into the bottom right corner of the net The final half hour petered out as both teams appeared content to settle for the 2-0 scoreline Although Graham Webster came close to pulling one back for Montrose when his long range effort was well saved by Gill This fixture is SEGREGATED and entry for both home and away fans is by TICKET ONLY with tickets available both online in advance and from the ticket office on matchday ONLINE TICKETS – these are available for BOTH home and away fans and can be purchased online up to 4:00pm on Saturday afternoon Tickets can be purchased here: https://montrosefc.co.uk/tickets/ TICKET OFFICE – tickets will be available for BOTH home and away fans from the new Ticket Office from 2pm on Saturday These can be purchased using either cash or card Adults                   £18 Concessions       £10 U12’s                    FOC* *Under 12s will ONLY be admitted if accompanied by a paying Adult/Concession) BOTH home and away fans should approach Links Park via Wellington Street AWAY SUPPORTERS – supporters should make their way around the back of the Brian J Keith Stand and enter the stadium from the turnstiles located at the East end of Links Park Stadium adjacent to Union Street/Union Row Turnstiles will open 1 hour prior to kick-off time and will remain open until 15 minutes after the match commences Seating for both home and away fans will be available on a first come basis in the Brian J Keith Stand AWAY SUPPORTERS – Sections A & B are reserved for Away fans only and are accessible via the Away turnstiles Stewards will be on hand to assist you find these sections if required There is limited parking at Links Park Stadium which is available on a first come service and fans should therefore ensure they allow plenty of time for finding alternative parking in the surrounding streets Any supporter who requires an accessible parking space a wheelchair space or a seat which involves minimal steps should contact office@montrosefc.co.uk or phone 01674 673200 during office hours and a member of club staff will be pleased to help Phyllis’s Pie Huts (Home & Away) will be open 1 hour prior to kick-off and will accept both card and cash payments ICT Supporter’s Travel Club are onto their second bus for this match Leaving stadium 10am.

the hat for the next round – with a hard fought win after extra time over Montrose to advance to the Men’s Scottish Gas Scottish Cup 5th round The Spiders’ starting line up showed 3 changes from the creditable draw away at Falkirk last week – Zack Mauchin returned after suspension Liam McLeish and Rocco Hickey-Fugaccia started with Zak Rudden on the bench and no place in the squad this week for Jack Thomson and Dom Thomas there was a minute’s applause to mark the sad passing yesterday of “The Lawman” Queen’s were given a golden opportunity to get ahead when Jack Turner was adjudged to have been fouled inside the box and referee Dan McFarlane pointed to the spot after only 8 minutes There was to be no dream start for the Spiders however as visiting keeper Cameron Gill dived to his right to superbly touch Turner’s penalty around the post Queen’s kept the pressure on the League 1 side with a Liam McLeish header after a quarter of an hour which was saved comfortably by Gill in the Montrose goal A shot from the edge of the box from Rocco was blocked for a corner followed shortly after by a shot from Sean Welsh which was again blocked by the Montrose defence The wave of attacks from the home side was the dominant theme as the first half moved toward half time and Queen’s made the break through A corner from Ryan Duncan on the right was whipped in towards the near post however the ball ended up in the net with Liam McLeish being credited with the final touch The first half pattern continued as the second period got under way with Queen’s shooting towards the Mount Florida end goal It was the visitors however who equalised just before the hour mark when a clever run and shot from Blair Lyons found the corner of the Queen’s net Worse was to come for the home side just 4 minutes later when Machado ran across the Queen’s 18 yard line before laying off to that man Lyons whose shot found the net again to give the visitors the lead Substitute Seb Drozd picked up a yellow card for what was deemed an over enthusiastic tackle Drozd was at the centre of things again after 64 minutes when his pass found the onrushing Josh Scott whose cross was just too high for McLeish Queen’s brought on Zak Rudden for Zack Mauchin which saw Louis Longridge move to right back and Jack Tuner taking up a midfield role as the clock ticked on It was beginning to look like one of those days when Queen’s came up with a stunning equaliser as the clock ticked over to 90 minutes Welsh played a pass to Rudden who flicked onto Drozd who laid off a first time return pass to Zak Rudden whose fierce drive from 16 yards gave keeper Gill no chance 8 minutes into the first period of extra time Queen’s found a 3rd and what would prove to be a decisive goal advanced forward before sliding a lovely pass through the Montrose defence and Josh Scott ran clear and chipped a right foot shot over the advancing keeper into the net The game opened up as the clocked ticked down with the visitors pushing more men forward seeking an equaliser however there was no further scoring and Queen’s advanced to the 5th round of the Scottish Cup Rocco Hickey-Fugaccia (Seb Drozd 57)Unused

The 43-year-old already had a lengthy criminal record, including two high court convictions for serious physical violence. Ferguson pleaded guilty in May 2024 to raping one of the children and sexually assaulting the other. Sentencing had been repeatedly adjourned for a full risk assessment to be carried out on Ferguson. On Tuesday, Lord Arthurson at the High Court in Glasgow imposed an Order for Lifelong Restriction. Ferguson must also serve a minimum of five years in jail. The judge noted the assessment had concluded the rapist had “anti-social and psychopathic personality disorders” as well as displaying “some borderline narcissistic traits”. Ferguson had shown “no empathy” for his victims and had been a “high level of risk”. Lord Arthurson warned Ferguson he will not automatically be freed at the end of the five-year term. It may be he is never released. The court previously heard how the earlier of the two young victims had told a relative what happened, but no action was taken at that time. The other girl later raised concerns about Ferguson. Asked why, the child stated: “Because he is a paedophile.” The youngster admitted she had not spoken about her ordeal earlier as she “feared she would not be believed”. Prosecutor Kath Harper KC told how Ferguson was later confronted and appeared shocked stating: “What the f***?” However, via social media, he confessed to a friend that he had “ruined his life” and was a “f*****g monster”. Ferguson was traced at a car park in Balmaha in Stirlingshire. Jonathan Crowe, defending, told a previous hearing that the crimes marked a radical departure from his previous offending. The advocate: “He wishes to express a public apology to those involved in this behaviour. “He recognises the horror of this offending.” STV News is now on WhatsAppGet all the latest news from around

the booby prize on the eponymous game show which ran from 1978-1988 with Ted Rogers as the host Now if someone would care to create a challenge related to this on the 5K app today’s parkrun was a bit of a dream for a winter parkrun in Scotland ground firm underfoot but not frozen or slippery nor muddy and slidey Thanks to Donny Andrew doing a superb course check BT fixing what was a downed telephone line across the path and Angus Council clearing a fallen tree 26 participants achieved personal bests with these conditions 10 were first timers to the course and 5 of those were first timers to parkrun We hope to see you all again but can’t guarantee that the conditions will be quite the same next time Scott Grant and John Keetley both achieved their 50th parkruns and our regular volunteer Wanda Arthur celebrated her 78th birthday it’s a way to celebrate consistency and acknowledge that sometimes the hardest thing about a parkrun is getting out of bed in time to attend Whether it’s a volunteering milestone or a run/jog/walking milestone we would love to see more capes out on the course whether it be for 25 parkruns or 250 parkruns The magic of the Scottish Cup returns this

Should you be in the UK, it will be live commentary only. We will be wearing our away kit for this match. Ross Callachan, Zach Robinson, Jair Tavares, Steve Seddon, Apostolos Stamatelopoulos, Paul McGinn, Aston Oxborough and Lennon Miller are out for this game. Liam Gordon will be assessed. Jack Vale is suspended. Stuart Kettlewell will be in the stand, with the manager suspended from the dugout for two games. Motherwell came out second best last weekend against St Johnstone at McDiarmid and will be looking to rectify this time round. With nine first-team players missing from the squad, Stuart Kettlewell will be hamstrung when it comes to team selection again. But the Steelmen will be relatively happy with league proceedings to this point, sitting fifth in the table. Motherwell are currently four points off of fourth-placed Aberdeen and could be sitting a point behind come Saturday night. St Johnstone ended a nine-game winless run with a narrow victory over Motherwell on Saturday in the Scottish Cup. With their spot in the fifth round of the Cup secured, their attentions turn back to league business. The table doesn’t make for good reading at present for St Johnstone, with the Perth side sitting at the foot of the table, nine points behind 11th. But, they’ll take confidence from the victory of the Steelmen and the fact there are only three points separating 11th and 7th. Mackenzie Kirk continued his fine season in St Johnstone colours, scoring his seventh goal for the senior side last time out. Over 1700 Motherwell fans made the trip to Perth as Motherwell kicked off their 2024/25 Scottish Cup campaign against St Johnstone.  But over the piece, Motherwell will be disappointed with their efforts, with Andy Halliday and Tawanda Maswanhise having the only sightings of goal for the Steelmen in the first-half. Mackenzie Kirk scored the only goal of the game after a scramble in the box following a corner and although St Johnstone didn’t look to put the game game beyond Motherwell, Stuart Kettlewell’s side weren’t able to find a leveller as they exited the competition at the first hurdle. Mothewell exited the Scottish Cup after a 1-0 defeat in Perth. Mackenzie Kirk’s first-half strike was enough for the home side to progress, as the Steelmen put on a largely toothless display. Manager Stuart Kettlewell made four changes from the side that were defeated by Hibernian in the Scottish capital a week ago. Defender Dan Casey returned to the starting XI, replacing the injured skipper Paul McGinn, with Marvin Kaleta, Sam Nicholson and Tawanda Maswanhise all returning to complete the line-up. Motherwell struggled to find any sort of rhythm or foothold in the contest before finding themselves behind within the opening 10-minutes, as the hosts capitalised on a threatening Graham Carey set-piece. Striker Tawanda Maswanhise couldn’t make the most of a promising opportunity to equalise in the first half, sending a weak shot towards Andy Fisher, while some poor defending from the home side almost allowed the visitors back into the tie. Shortly thereafter, Motherwell goalkeeper Archie Mair thwarted debutant Victor Griffith’s attempt to extend the lead, as Motherwell held out for the half-time break. The Steelmen couldn’t rejuvenate themselves in the second-half, as Saints continued to pressurise the Motherwell backline. After turning provider for the opening goal, Carey almost found himself on the scoresheet within the opening minutes of the second-half, striking the right post of Mair’s goal in a moment of fortune for the visiting side. An injury-stricken Motherwell seemed a mere shadow of their best, as they continually failed to capitalise on the passive St. Johnstone backline, who were looking to only defend their one-goal advantage. Motherwell pushed forward, but couldn’t create any significant goalscoring chances of note. Motherwell showed glimmers of improvement after halftime, but even with a late surge, they couldn’t prevent St Johnstone from achieving their first win since November 23, as the steelmen exited the Scottish Cup in the Fourth Round. Stuart Kettlewell gives his thoughts as Motherwell exit the Scottish Cup after a 1-0 defeat to St Johnstone. The season 2023/24 had all the hallmarks of Callum Slattery’s best season in professional football. Having undergone a full pre-season, a luxury he hasn’t always enjoyed in football, the then 24-year-old was looking to seriously impress as he entered the final year of his three-year deal at Motherwell.  Having played a crucial role in the turnaround of fortunes under Stuart Kettlewell during the latter stages of the previous season, Slattery was mentally prepared to meet the new season head-on. And the early signs were positive. Two goals and an assist in the group stage of the League Cup set Slattery up for the commencement of the Premiership season. With fans impressed with the sharpness and ability shown in the early segments of the season, many were expecting him to be in the running for the club’s player of the year award. Manager Stuart Kettlewell made no secret of the impression the number eight was leaving on him during the first-half of the season. A formidable partnership with his fellow midfielders in the form of Lennon Miller and Blair Spittal was the perfect combination for a strong start to Premiership proceedings. As the season entered September, Motherwell’s league form would dip, with the Steelmen going 15 games without a win. But in that run, Slattery was a mainstay. In fact, by the time Motherwell travelled to Easter Road on match day 22 in January 2024, Slattery had only missed one game. And having remained tight as a group and beginning to turn fortunes around, Motherwell drew with Hibernian and beat Livingston by the time the winter break came around. There would be 18 days without any football being played competitively in Scotland, but what Callum Slattery didn’t know was it was going to be 396 games without wearing the claret and amber for him. “It was the best pre-season I’d ever had,” Slattery recalled. “It was the best shape I’d been in, and I was flying. It set me up for the league season. I had built up a really good relationship with players on the pitch, which really helped my performances, as they knew what they were getting from me, and I knew what I was getting from them. “Then, during the first session back from the winter break, I got through the session with no troubles. I felt like I picked up from where I left off. I chased back, and maybe my body was in an awkward position, or my foot got caught, and it was just a twist. I knew straight away because of the feeling and sound that I’d done something severe. “When I spent two or three minutes on the floor, I knew something had happened. It feels so long ago; I have to jog my memory just to think about it. I remember at the time my stomach dropped. My mindset was just, What have I done? “You can’t get a scan straight after, so you have to wait. I got that the next day, and it’s just the fear of being out a long time. I was doing so well; I hate being injured as it is, but facing a long spell on the sidelines, even now, is tough to think about. “I got the scan the next morning and then came home and waited on the call. It was about four or five hours after I got the call from Hendo. I knew from the tone of his voice that it wasn’t good news. And he said that it wasn’t good news and that I’d done the majority of the ligaments in my knee and that I was looking at nine to 12 months out. I’d prepared myself to hear that news, but it doesn’t make it any easier. “I was with my partner, and I told her that it wasn’t going to be good news, phoned my dad after I found out, and he was supportive. It was a tough time.” As Callum Slattery stepped forward to meet his new reality, the road ahead would undoubtedly present him with numerous obstacles to conquer. The initial hurdle of surgery, though necessary, was merely the beginning of a long and grueling journey toward recovery. Physically, the rehabilitation would require immense dedication and hard work, as he navigated through the stages of strength-building, conditioning, and regaining the agility and speed that once came so naturally to him on the field. However, it was the mental aspect of his recovery that posed a daunting challenge. Away from his teammates and the camaraderie that came with being part of a team, Callum Slattery would need to find ways to maintain his motivation and focus, pushing through the lonely moments in the gym and the early morning sessions that would now dominate his daily routine. The absence of the sport he loved, which had once brought him so much joy and fulfilment, would also need to be replaced by new sources of motivation and drive. It was in these dark and difficult moments that Callum Slattery’s resilience, determination, and character would truly be tested. “The worst part of the recovery process was the post-surgery,” he explained. “The pain for the first three to four weeks is agony, and then just things like wanting to push on, but you can’t physically do that yet, for example, running when you can’t walk properly yet. Having to be patient is so hard. You want to be further along than what you are constantly. “You spend a lot of the early stages on crutches and a brace while being stuck in bed for the first two weeks. On medication to numb the pain, and from then on you just ease yourself to one crutch, slowly start to walk, and put slight pressure on the knee. They’re small goals, but it does feel amazing when you tick them off. Going from two crutches to one was a highlight!” This precarious situation left Slattery in a vulnerable position. As he rehabilitated from his injury, he faced the looming uncertainty of his professional future. Would Motherwell be willing to extend his contract given his lengthy absence from the pitch? The thought of being left without a club after a season of challenges was daunting. “Of course there was worry,” Slattery said. “In terms of just, like, still making a living. I know some people think footballers have it all and stuff like that, but you still need to pay for a mortgage and stuff like that, and it’s all in the back of your mind. You’re thinking, Will I come back from this? Is this going to be me? Am I going to have to go down a different route in life? “I always tried to stay positive and have that mindset not to worry about it as it’s out of my control. The darkest days were probably at the start, dealing with surgery and stuck in bed. They’re the days where you think you can’t do this for much longer. I wanted to throw the crutches in the bin. “You go through spells where you see the light, and you might get a feeling that doesn’t feel right, and you just worry something has gone wrong. Because it’s such a long period, you get so many ups and downs, and it’s learning to deal with them and coming to terms with the fact that there are going to be days that you feel s**t. You can’t do anything about it, and it’s ok to have those days.” But it wasn’t all negative during this absence from football. During this time, Slattery penned a new contract with the club, signing a one-year deal with the option of a further year. And when it feels like the world is against you, a leap of faith from the club that had looked after him was just the medicine he needed. “It settled me massively once I knew the club had my back,” the 25-year-old smiled. “When I first got the injury, I was thinking I was in trouble because I’m out of contract when I’m still out, and I was worried where I would go to get back fit. Once I had that new deal in place, I knew I could put it to the back of my head and focus on my fitness. “I felt maybe because I started the season well and the club knew what I was capable of that I might get something. But they’ve put their trust in me, so I just continued to work my way back.” With the mood lifting and targets being hit with significant oomph, Slattery had an added skip in his recovering stride knowing his near future was secured and that his sole purpose was getting back to his old self. But this journey of recovery wasn’t undertaken on his own. He had the unwavering support of his teammates every step of the way, and when the time came for him to tick off the next milestone at the training pitches, it was noticeable in just how high a regard his teammates hold him in. “I arrived at the training pitches, and the physios kept me away from the lads so I didn’t get distracted,” he laughed. “They wanted me to focus on my stride when running. But when I saw the training session going on, all I was thinking about was how quick everything was and how I was ever going to get back to that level. I felt miles off it. When the lads saw me, they stopped and gave me a round of applause; it was the first time they had seen me out on the pitches for about seven months. “One thing I haven’t had to worry about too much is the technical side; that came back quite naturally. Even my first touches felt normal again, so it was just building up the fitness that has been tough. Even watching, I just thought about how much I would feel it when I went back into the sessions. “I did plenty of running sessions that when the time came, I didn’t feel too bad. I’m still trying to get up to match fitness as it has been so long. When I first started training, it was like being drip-fed, which was frustrating. So I’d be a floater or a non-contact player; the gaffer would make it clear to watch the tackles on me or just don’t tackle me at all. “But when I went into full training, that period of being on the bench was always going to be a few weeks. Just because the manager needs players who are fully up to speed and ready. He didn’t want to throw me into the deep end too soon, which I agreed with wholeheartedly.” And with every session, more players would be given the opportunity to tackle Slattery as he was only getting stronger. Games would come and go, but he remained patient, and after three weeks of full, uninterrupted training sessions with no setbacks, the time had come for him to tick off his biggest and final milestone in this journey. “It did feel weird to be on the bench against Aberdeen,” he explained. “Putting on the kit and arriving at the same time as the lads felt a bit odd. I didn’t know during the week I’d be in the squad. When the team came through in the group chat, there was a bit of a celebration in the changing room with the boys. I was absolutely buzzing. “I wasn’t expecting minutes; I was simply soaking up the fact I was on the bench. Warming up and being on the pitch at half-time was good, but just being back in kit was special. Don’t get me wrong; I was itching to get on that pitch, but I wouldn’t have been annoyed if I didn’t. “I think there were three subs used over two stoppages, and it was only McGinn due to come on, so I was sat there thinking that’s me, but I was ok with that. About two seconds later, Stevie [Frail] gave me the shout, and it was so good to be back out there. “My ar*e was going a bit when I got out there! When you’re watching, you think it’s easy to do certain things in moments. But when you get on there, it’s a different tempo with things happening so quickly, so when I was out there, I wanted to get the ball and just pass to claret and amber without messing up! “I wasn’t expecting the reception I got; I was buzzing with it, to be honest. Fans pay every week to watch, and to get that appreciation was warm for me. We won, and I was back out there, feeling like I was back, perfect!” Talking after his first minutes in claret and amber in 12 months, Slattery was keen to emphasise his determination to make an impact in a positive manner and contribute to the team. A big game player with Premier League experience, Motherwell fans are well informed of what Slattery can do on the pitch. And any reservations that some of that talent and spark had been put out during the 12-month layoff were dashed within minutes of his second appearance back at Easter Road. “Shane [Blaney] and I were standing over the free kick,” Slattery noted. “The wall was full of giants; I’m not sure there was anyone under 6 ft 2 in! I couldn’t see the net, so we were talking for ages. We set up two of our players next to the wall to block the keeper’s view. I said to Shane that I wanted to take it, and he was fine with it. “Just as I started my run-up, I changed my mind about going over the wall because it was too big. I wanted to try and do the keeper instead. When I saw it hit the back of the net, I didn’t really know what to do, to be honest, because we were chasing the game. I wanted to celebrate a bit more and go to the fans, but in that moment, all I was thinking about was getting another goal. “It felt good. I didn’t expect to make the impact of scoring a goal so soon after coming back, but my nature of how I play, where I try to make things happen, may that be getting in the opponent’s head, making a creative pass, or just buying a foul, I always have the belief I can make two or three significant things happen in a game. I didn’t expect to score a goal, that’s for sure!” The comeback was complete, and Slattery had left Motherwell fans excited by his immediate impact upon his return to action. And now for the player, alongside staying fit and healthy, he is chasing down 100 appearances for the club, something that at one stage looked beyond his grasp. “I remember when I first got injured that I must be around that 100 mark,” he recalled. “To hit 100 appearances at any club is massive. It’s an honour if I do it here because the club has kept belief in me throughout everything, and I want to pay everyone back. Now I’m at this stage, you do reflect a bit. “Through the injury, I’ve had to deal with dark days. I did better than I thought I would. I’ve learnt that things out of my control, I can’t control, so don’t stress about them, as it will eat you up inside; you have to focus on the things you can change. “I would say to anyone going through something similar that they should come to terms with the fact that there will be setbacks along the way, things won’t be the same for a while, and no matter what, you’re going to have to spend that time on the sideline. So, get used to it quickly and fill yourself with the belief you’ll come back stronger. “Just be positive about everything as much as you possibly can.” Manager Stuart Kettlewell provides a lengthy and detail update on players who are on the sidelines and he also reacts to the news that captain Paul McGinn will be missing for the rest of the season.  Kettlewell touches on what a cup run can do for the club, and discusses the recruitment of new goalkeepers.

February 2025 30% of the port’s berths will be electrified allowing offshore energy support vessels to connect to Plug Montrose a shore power facility that has been developed in partnership with Norwegian shore power specialist Plug Montrose Port Authority and Plug Shore Power entered into a 50/50 joint venture to become the first Scottish port to offer shore power to offshore energy vessels By connecting to shore power instead of relying on traditional diesel engines to power onboard functions vessels will be able to significantly reduce emissions while at berth particularly as the electricity supplied through Plug Montrose comes with a Renewable Energy Guarantee of Origin (REGO) This initiative is said to be a crucial step in reducing the environmental impact of port operations and supporting the decarbonization of vessel operations Plug Montrose has identified numerous benefits of shore power to the maritime sector improved welfare and sustainability leadership Montrose Port Authority became last year the first port in Scotland to provide a shore power service for offshore energy supply vessels which will greatly reduce harmful emissions the port authority said that the shore power facility became operational on berths 1 and 2 following a significant upgrade to the port’s substation and quayside infrastructure carried out by Scottish and Southern Electricity

puts on weekly group social and training rides This year the club has set itself an ambitious target of raising £10k for Maggies cancer centres in Aberdeen and Dundee via a series of club and individual challenges I’ve been a member of Montvelo since 2021 having got into cycling during the dreaded lockdown and have tackled some rides with the club I’d never have envisaged managing on my own including multiple 100km rides a few jaunts up the cairn o mount and taking part in time trials and hill climbs as part of the clubs Summer Series The club is super welcoming and just like at parkrun there’s always someone to help spur you on whether it’s up a steep climb or the last few kilometres of a long ride which took place on 5th April there was a stiff north easterly in attendance So it was a less than ideal day for hopping on the bike which was maybe what attracted so many down to parkrun While the forecast sunshine didn’t make much of an appearance it didn’t deter the 181 individuals who ran We had 25 first timers (including some hardened cyclists earning their parkrun stripes) and a whopping 28 PBs which was all the more impressive given the conditions There were a few milestones today with 2 junior parkrunners Brodie Robinson and Harry Slessor donning the purple cape for their 25th parkrun In addition to first time parkrunners we also had a number of volunteers who did so for the first time or stepped out of their comfort zone and took on a time they’d not done previously Despite the freezing cold everyone seemed to have a great time Well done to everyone who took part today and thank you to Montrose Parkrun for having us Queen’s Park return to action today as the SWPL returns from international duty Montrose are the first of three games in 7 days for

Login Montrose Academy has been told to make improvements after inspectors branded the school “weak” in two areas Education Scotland has published its findings after a visit to the Angus secondary school in November A report into the visit – released on Tuesday – revealed that inspectors rated the quality of learning teaching and assessment as “weak” efforts to raise attainment and increase achievement were also branded “weak” Officials grade schools on key areas using a six-point scale ranging from “excellent” to “unsatisfactory” where “weak” is the second lowest grade the school has had “significant” staffing challenges in both permanent and temporary roles across a few subject areas Inspectors said pupils should experience more engaging motivating and active learning after finding pupils’ learning experiences were “too passive” in the majority of lessons Education Scotland said teachers need to take better account of individual needs when planning and delivering activities Staff were told they must ensure more effective approaches to identifying pupils at risk of underachievement at the school – with a particular focus on numeracy It comes as attainment in National 5 and Higher English is below the national average – while attainment in maths is “much lower” inspectors outlined some strengths at Montrose Academy They found that young people with complex and severe needs were benefiting from high-quality personalised support Staff and local partners were also praised for promoting a strong community identity by offering a range of wider achievement activities The Education Scotland report said: “As a result of our inspection findings we think that the school needs additional support and more time to make necessary improvements “We will liaise with Angus Council regarding the school’s capacity to improve “We will return to carry out a further inspection of the school within one year of the publication of this letter.” An Angus Council spokesperson said: “Angus Council notes the report’s strengths and areas for improvement “Central officers continue to support school leaders with the school improvement agenda “Further actions were planned following the inspection visit in response to the recommendations in the report “Parents have been invited to a meeting by the head teacher to discuss plans for improvement and the progress

like Avanza where the founders were working at the time Although UCITS ETFs listed in other European jurisdictions remained tradeable in Sweden appetite for the wrapper from retail investors has yet to recover the Montrose team is confident of significant untapped demand particularly for ETFs denominated in Swedish krona tradeable on the local market Handelsbanken is the other provider of Sweden-listed ETFs Its 10-strong Xact range of Nordic-focused ETFs houses $2.1bn in assets under management (AUM) “Handelsbanken has had a monopoly of the ETF market for years But until now that monopoly has not been challenged,” said Boman we looked at the most popular ETFs in other geographies and landed on the premium income model,” explained Skarman ETF – long exposure to the MSCI World index but continuously selling index call options to generate ‘premium income’ The option selling caps the potential upside As ETF Stream recently explored the covered call ETF market is many multiples larger in the US but there has been a significant uptick demand in recent months in Europe with JP Morgan Asset Management capturing much of the flow Appetite appears healthy for Montrose's ETF MONTDIV has gathered around $13m in assets comfortably surpassing the team’s expectations the product market fit was better than we could have imagined,” Skarman noted is set to launch in the coming weeks providing higher octane exposure to global equities Some leverage is good for long-term savers but the leverage factor is not so extreme that investors take fright during market downturns Unless Swedish pension savers make an active decision to allocate elsewhere their contributions are defaulted into AP7 – the state investment fund within Sweden’s pension system AP7 uses 1.25x leverage but there is not a leveraged alternative within private pension offerings – a hole the new ETF is set to fill As to what might be coming next for Montrose Boman said “we will start with these two because we want to see how strong the recognition is among our customers as well as those accessing the ETFs via other platforms.” I would say better than expected," he added Ryan Duff Repsol has confirmed it is carrying out maintenance at its Montrose platform as the asset joins the operator’s list of projects to stop production The North Sea operator told Energy Voice: “Repsol UK can confirm that we are undertaking a maintenance shutdown of our Montrose facility.” This comes soon after Repsol was forced to stop production at its Fulmar platform due to a prohibition notice served by the UK’s Health and Safety Executive (HSE) The firm has attracted the attention of the safety watchdog following a string of violations including lagging maintenance on the Fulmar’s deluge system Repsol’s Clyde and Auk have also “temporarily halted” This is because Repsol uses Fulmar to transport oil and gas from the Flyndre Montrose also joins the Bleo Holm floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel, which shut down a week ago the firm said it had “elected to undertake a maintenance shutdown” of the FPSO The HSE said: “We are aware that Repsol has stopped production on Bleo Holm and Yesterday Montrose “Although this was not due to enforcement action by HSE we are aware of the circumstances of the shutdowns.” In November the UK regulator, the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA), handed out its largest-ever fine to Repsol for “unreasonable practice” which led to a shut-in at the Flyndre field in 2020 The fine handed to the North Sea operator totalled £350,000 Rig Deluge managing director Ian Garden has previously raised concerns about Repsol’s North Sea operations namely the work conducted on the Fulmar A platform Garden also visited Repsol’s Auk and the Montrose platforms After his team found issues with the deluge systems on the installations Garden claimed this was due to problems such as blocked delivery lines and nozzles the HSE said it had seen “extremely worrying” cases of North Sea operators going “backwards” on critical maintenance The safety-critical maintenance backlog has been flagged as a major issue in the North Sea following the COVID pandemic however Unite claims that the UK’s safety watchdog is not doing enough to combat the issue Unite the Union’s John Boland explained that “deferred maintenance is shooting up” as offshore risk assessments argue that work can be carried out less regularly it’s just getting put off,” the union’s regional officer said This was in response to the cessation of drilling activities at Ithaca Energy’s Captain field after a crane failed Following the incident at Ithaca’s wellhead protector platform (WPP) Boland argued that delayed maintenance work “could lead to really bad situations” He added: “We’re obviously concerned about this situation that is happening with the Captain WPP but we’re also concerned about the wider industry.” A Bayley Hutchison hat-trick helped Hearts seal an

some neat passing in the build up Emma Brownlie passed to Joely Andrews in the box who played a great cut-back to find Lauren Wade who scored from close range on her left foot for 2-0 Montrose had a

effort was dragged wide of the far post in the end the ball was launched forward by midfielder Demi Taylor which evaded the Hearts defence and went straight through to Louise Brown in the box Her first time effort also went wide in similar fashion to the chance just before Hearts had another opportunity just before the break The ball was whipped in from the right wing into the box by Lauren

Andrews played a great ball in behind to send Lauren Wade through on goal and she slotted one on her left foot past goalkeeper Kirsten Pratt to make it a brace for herself Striker Georgia Timms had her shot blocked in a crowded Montrose penalty area which found its way to Eilidh Shore just inside the box who tried to catch Pratt out with a powerful low strike at the near post which forced a good
