Australia World Cup history-maker Graham Arnold is a good fit for Scottish clubs

8 days ago Edinburgh News

Only twice have Australia made history by reaching the World Cup knockout phase and Arnold was heavily involved on both occasions. For a squad containing players from world football heavyweights like St Mirren, Adelaide United and Machida Zelvia of Japan, it was a remarkable achievement. I’m really happy that we had such a good run at the World Cup. He tactically got us right in pretty much every game on the biggest stage at the World Cup. “What we need is that little kicking Cam Devlin at the World Cup who’s going to run like a lunatic for 90 minutes,” explained Arnold.

Leah Eddie considers Hibs future and how far she's come after reaching appearance milestone

After all that upheaval, Eddie believes reaching 50 appearances is an “even bigger achievement”. She explains: “My main focus coming back from injury was game time, training to high standards, and getting a spot in that starting 11. It’s a big step going there, training away with high-performance athletes you can see the difference when you go in. Eddie scored direct from a corner in the 3-1 win away to Aberdeen on Wednesday. With games coming thick and fast, Hibs face second-tier Kilmarnock next in the SWPL Cup quarter-final at Rugby Park on Sunday.

'We will try to score': Hibs Under-19s plan of attack in Nantes revealed as they bid to extend Euro adventure

Ajax, Eintracht Frankfurt, Porto, Inter Milan and Shakhtar Donetsk are among the teams who lie in wait from that path. If you go out from the first minute and try to defend for 90 minutes you are going to invite pressure. Hibs came through the first round against FK Molde of Norway in what was a different challenge altogether and are determined to continue the adventure.

Hibs 0, Ross County 2: Staggies out of relegation zone after straightforward win at Hibs

Hibs started strongly, not unlike Friday night at Pittodrie against Aberdeen, but it fizzled out rapidly. Melkersen was bright in attack but unable to test Ross Laidlaw while Kukharevych, searching for a fourth consecutive goal, broke his streak and was hooked at half-time. Hibs failed to clear a corner and Yan Dhanda’s cross was flicked in by Harmon at the near post. Porteous was next to try his luck, stinging Laidlaw’s palms with a fierce effort from 25 yards but it never looked like troubling the former Easter Road custodian. But with Kukharevych sitting on the bench it was to no avail and the game petered out with County sitting deep and repelling everything Hibs threw at them.

Hearts 3-4 Celtic: VAR is talk o' the toon during a controversial seven-goal thriller Tynecastle

Hearts’ first and third goals arrived after such reviews, while Celtic had two efforts disallowed and a penalty appeal rejected by VAR. Celtic scored ten goals in their previous two matches but made six changes for this trip to the Capital. The Australian seized on a loose ball inside the Celtic penalty area and, as his toe reached the ball first, he was clattered by Cameron Carter-Vickers. Forrest’s attempted pass struck the Hearts defender Michael Smith on the arm but a VAR review concluded there was no infringement. Hearts, yet again, were left with nothing but exasperation at full-time as Celtic celebrated their victory.

Lawrence Shankland claimed a hat-trick including two penalties for Hearts, but they ended the afternoon with nothing. “We scored three goals and had other opportunities but ended up taking nothing from the game,” said Neilson. The first penalty isn’t given and goes to VAR. I think they will be fine.”The Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou felt VAR should have awarded his team a penalty late in the first half when the ball struck Michael Smith’s arm. “We haven't had a penalty all year and I keep hearing opposition managers saying we get everything.

FC Edinburgh boss Alan Maybury thrilled with players' character after 3-1 victory over Airdrie

Danny Handling netted FC Edinburgh's first goal in a 3-1 win over Airdrie. We scored a really good goal and then we were happy to settle for that a little bit and lost our way. And although Falkirk slipped up at home to Kelty Hearts and Dunfermline went down at Montrose, Maybury is remaining grounded. We've got good options in the final third and each of them have their own attributes. FC Edinburgh: Mutch, MacDonald, Brydon, See (Shanley 60, Johnson 89), Handling (Robertson 81), Jacobs (McIntyre 81), Fontaine, Murray, Delferriere, Craigen, Crane.
