Peterhead have signed former Cove Rangers winger Cieran Dunne on a one-year deal. Dunne has been without a club since leaving Cove after their relegation from the Championship last year and becomes the Blue Toon’s third summer signing. After making his breakthrough as a teenager with Falkirk, Dunne caught the eye of English side Sunderland and joined the Black Cats in 2019. However, he primarily appeared for the club’s under-23s and only made two senior appearances before being released in 2022.

Scotland Women captain Rachel Corsie feels they are capable of competing with the best teams in Europe despite the 4-0 Nations League loss to Netherlands. First-half goals from Danielle van de Donk and Esmee Brugts had the hosts ahead, with Lineth Beerensteyn adding a brace in the second period. The Scots were under pressure for large periods of the game and struggled to offer much in response to the in-form Dutch.
