Podcast Description: SFA back Burley - Gerrard facing fitness race - Tigers snap up duo - Hughes not giving up on Lescott chase
The Scottish Football Association say Scotland boss George Burley’s job is safe until the country’s World Cup qualifying campaign is concluded. Scotland’s hopes of reaching next year’s finals in South Africa hang by a thread after Wednesday’s 4-0 mauling in Norway. The Scottish Football League have rejected Livingston’s appeal against their demotion to the Third Division. They were thrown out of the First Division for going into administration – for the second week running they’ll refuse to play their scheduled Third Division match. Steven Gerrard’s a doubt for Liverpool’s Premier League opener at Spurs on Sunday. He’s struggling with the groin injury that kept him out of England friendly with Holland in midweek. Hull City made a double signing yesterday. They snapped up Algeria striker Kamel Ghilas from Celta Vigo, and completed the capture of Reading winger Stephen Hunt. Man City boss Mark Hughes says he hasn’t given up on signing Everton and England defender Joleon Lescott. City have failed with two bids and the player himself has had a transfer request rejected, but Hughes says City are still in the hunt.
