Imrie has only played three times since Brian Rice took charge on January 31 – and Hamilton have won each of those games. After a late substitute appearance in a victory over Hearts, Imrie was not in the squad for consecutive defeats by Kilmarnock and Livingston. And he is keen to return for Saturday’s Ladbrokes Premiership bottom-three clash with St Mirren as Accies bid to move seven points clear of the Paisley side. Imrie retires from playing at the end of the season to coach the club’s under-18s and wants to help leave Accies in the top flight, where they had just landed when he arrived five years ago The 35-year-old said: “It’s obviously difficult not playing but my job at the moment … [Read more...] about Imrie ‘fit and ready’ to aid Hamilton’s relegation fight

Sport by Press Association 05/04/2019, 2:44 pm Send us a story Sign up to our Daily newsletter Aaron Ramsey has been passed fit for Arsenal’s trip to Everton on Sunday, as Unai Emery’s side look to strengthen their grip on a top-four place. The 28-year-old midfielder was substituted with a groin injury in Monday’s 2-0 victory over Newcastle having scored their opening goal, and his recent fine form would make his absence keenly felt. With Granit Xhaka facing a late fitness test, Ramsey’s availability provides a further boost for Emery’s improving team, in which the attacking talents of Mesut Ozil are also an increasing strength. Emery said: “Aaron trained normally and all the players are working. “We are thinking game by game and we know seven matches, and five away, for us is a big challenge. We have confidence now but we know it is very difficult. It’s a long way for the last matches. “We hope we can take … [Read more...] about Aaron Ramsey fit for Everton clash

Sergio Aguero is set to be involved in Manchester City’s FA Cup semi-final against Brighton after recovering from injury. The Argentine, who limped out of last week’s game against Fulham and missed the midweek clash with Cardiff, will travel with Pep Guardiola’s squad to Wembley. Aguero has been able to take part in training this week, and Guardiola will decide overnight if he is fit enough to start the Saturday tea time game. The 29-year-old has been described as ‘almost fit’ – but City will be reluctant to take any chances ahead of a critical period, which sees them face Tottenham three times in the Champions League and Premier League in the space of two weeks. Guardiola also confirmed Alex Zinchenko is out for 10-12 weeks after sustaining hamstring damage in the 2-0 win against Cardiff. “Not everybody is fit, but almost everybody,” he said. “Sergio Aguero is almost fit. He will travel with the squad.” City remain in … [Read more...] about Man City injury boost as Aguero passed fit for FA Cup semi-final

GOK Wan grimaced as a bride was fat shamed by her future mother-in-law who told her "I can see what you've had for dinner", during a wedding dress fitting. Police detective Nichola appears on tonight's episode of Say Yes To The Dress Lancashire, ahead of her wedding to Caroline's son Lee. Admitting she had certain "hang-ups", Nichola told the cameras: "I am very conscious of my shape, I feel like I’ve not got a very feminine shape. I’m nervous that I won’t find a dress." Nichola, who's previously won bodybuilding contests, added: "Because I've been so in shape before, I think it's made me more self-conscious because I've put on weight again." Caroline did nothing to help her confidence with her comments about the £1,299 dress by Lux & Love, which her son Jabez labelled "stunning" and Nichola called "perfect". Caroline told Nichola: "I think it's because I can see the cups and perhaps see what you've eaten for dinner." After Gok, 44, visibly grimaced, raising … [Read more...] about Savage mother-in-law fat shames bride-to-be saying ‘I can see what you’ve had for dinner’ at wedding dress fitting
