The 34-year-old - who became the first female Scot to win the WBA and IBA Super-Featherweight world titles - has admitted to Mail Sport that she had made some poor choices in terms of finance, leading to her owing substantial sums of money to a number of investors.

Roaring around Brands Hatch in McLaren's £250,000 Supercar... Mail Sport's HEATHER DEWAR learns all about the need for speed from one of motorsport's top teams | Daily Mail Online

1 month ago | dailymail.co.uk | Heather Dewar

Mail Sport's Heather Dewar was invited to spend some time with McLaren at Brands Hatch earlier this month and experienced first hand the speed and thrill of the race... I’m sitting in a McLaren supercar, about to set off on a hotlap, when the driver pauses momentarily. ‘How do you switch this on?’ he laughs. It’s my first time on the track at Brands Hatch, first time in a McLaren Artura Trophy EVO. I don’t think I can help him. ‘Have you driven one of these before?’ I ask nervously. ‘Nope,’ he smiles.
Finally a victory for common sense, writes HEATHER DEWAR, as SFA prepare to ban transgender women from competing in women's football

Finally a victory for common sense. After much debate, the Scottish FA are to ban transgender women from competing in women’s football from next season, a ruling which will bring both clarity and focus to a space riddled with vitriol and confusion.

'I was renowned for heading the ball, of course I am worried about dementia!' Former Celtic and Hibernian defender JOHN HUGHES on his fears over head injuries in football | Daily Mail Online

Mar 15, 2025 | dailymail.co.uk | Heather Dewar

As a robust and forthright defender, John Hughes was well accustomed to pummelling the ball with his head. Over a successful career which included stints at Celtic, Hibernian and Falkirk, 'Yogi' didn't think twice about heading the ball. It was a huge part of his game. It was, in fact, a vital component. 'I was renowned for heading the football,' he told Mail Sport.
More abuse for Eilish McColgan. More body-shaming of female athletes. More damage done. When will these moronic, ill-informed trolls ever learn? writes Heather Dewar | Daily Mail Online

Mar 3, 2025 | dailymail.co.uk | Heather Dewar

Here we go again. Female athletes once again in the firing line, harrassed and degraded by sad little toads who take cover behind the security of their well-trodden keyboards. These moronic, twisted individuals spew out hatred on a regular basis, justifying their behaviour through ill-informed thought processes and a belief in their own self-aggrandised superiority. Remember Joey Barton and the ‘Lesbo-ball’ comments? Or the abuse faced by Karen Carney? Or Eni Aluko?

The sun is glistening in the skies above Monaco. It is early afternoon in the golden principality, but David Coulthard is yet to see daylight. ‘I came into the office this morning when it was still dark,’ he laughs, peeking through his windows. ‘Ah yes,’ he reassures me, ‘beautiful.’The former F1 driver is in exuberant mood. Newly engaged to girlfriend Sigrid Silversand, and about to take part in Sydney’s Race of Champions, the 53-year-old Scot is in a happy place.

Jake Peacock looks at me with a glint in his eye: ‘I’m coming out to do some damage.’The one-handed son of former Chelsea and Newcastle United player Gavin Peacock is clearly in the mood for mischief. On Thursday, the Muay Thai fighter will take on Japan’s Shinji Suzuki in MMA’s One Championship in Qatar — a highly anticipated competition which features two World title fights live from the Lusail Sports Arena.
