Alloa was the capital of the worldwide Patons yarn empire. Those mills are gone today, but the 15th-century Alloa Tower (foreground) still stands. Source.
Morton visit Recreation Park to play Alloa Athletic. Morton are still alive in the Championship, but to escape relegation they have got to continue to win, and Cowdenbeath must continue to lose.
Morton have yet to score on Alloa this season. [And they don't today. Alloa win 2 - 0. Morton are relegated.]
This weekend it's the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup. Rangers face Dundee United today, and Aberdeen play St Johnstone tomorrow. Both games are at Ibrox. This is Rangers' first match against a Premiership opponent this season. Last season Rangers beat Motherwell 2 - 0 in the Third Round of the Scottish League Cup, but then lost 0 - 3 to Inverness Caledonian Thistle; and in the Fifth Round of the Scottish Cup they were beaten 3 - 0 by ... Dundee United. [Rangers are out!] [Aberdeen are out!]
It's also the first leg of the semi-finals of the Scottish Junior Cup. Camelon Juniors host Glenafton Athletic, and Irvine Meadow host Hurlford United. Camelon are from around Falkirk, the other three semi-finalists are all from Ayrshire. [Irvine Meadow 2 - 1 Hurlford United.] [Camelon 2 - 1 Glenafton.]
Yesterday Boulogne hosted Ajaccio and won 2 - 0.
Tomorrow Grulla Morioka visit Blaublitz Akita. [Blaublitz win 2 - 1.]
