The integrity of the pyramid play-off system is on the rocks as Buckie Thistle gear up for war with the SPFL and SFA.

The Highland League winners have been denied a play-off spot as they don't have the bronze licence needed to enter the league system, but that's absolutely not the end of the matter.

Meanwhile, Scotland's injury worries get worse with Scott McTominay and Kieran Tierney the latest on the treatment table.

And it's all heating up in League Two, will Stranraer survive or is Clyde going to complete a huge comeback?
