they left it late to beat aberdeen. they left it late to beat aberdeen. the game looked to be heading for extra time when the winner came in the second minute of injury time. they might have struggled in europe but the invincibles have dominated in scotland in brendan rodgers' first season in charge. rugby union's premiership final also had a exhilarating finish, which saw exeter crowned champions for the first time in their history. it was 20—20 at the end of full—time against wasps. but a late extra—time penalty from gareth steenson made history for exeter, who were promoted to the premiership seven years ago. and in the pro 12 final, welsh side scarlets defeated munster 116—22 in dublin to lift the trophy for the first time in 13 years. they ran in six tries. an historic day for the team who become the first welsh champions for five yea rs. first welsh champions for five years. they've done it by winning twice in ireland in the play—offs, first against leinster and now the table—topping munster. and england have beaten south africa by two r

his job finishing ahead of aberdeen, use kular mistaken. hisjob as rangers manager is to finish about celtic. —— he is clearly mistaken. he should be more concerned about that challenge. any team that finishes above rangers in the league, with a budget that they have, is doing very well. they should probably be in paris that they have not finished second. —— be embarrassed. former crewe alexandra youth team coach barry bennell, who is awaiting trial for sex offences against children, has appeared in court accused of 21 fresh charges. katie gornall was at crewe magistrates‘ court. barry bennell appeared via video link from prison in milton keynes, where he is on remand. we saw him on atv where he is on remand. we saw him on a tv screen wearing a blue jumper with his arms crossed. he spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and to say that he understood the 21 fresh charges against him. these new charges against four boys aged between 10—16 and they are alleged to have it in place between 1983 and 1991. barry bennell is a for

in a rehearsal for the scottish cup final, celtic have beaten aberdeen 3—1 in the premiership at pittodrie. the champions have also reached 100 points in the process. celtic are also aiming for an unbeaten domestic season. dedryck boyata gave them the perfect start, scoring after two minutes. barely five minutes later it was 2—0. aberdeen‘s defence fell apart again, and stuart armstrong took advantage. a rout looked on the cards when the dons allowed lee griffiths in this time,3—0 and with only 12 minutes on the clock, and completely against the run of playjonny hayes pulled one back for aberdeen. there were no more goals, 3—1 celtic it remained. well dundee united have taken a step towards returning to the premiership tonight, they beat greenock morton 3—0 to complete a 5—1 aggregate win in their playoff. they'll now face falkirk over two legs, with the winners of that tie facing the team second from bottom in the premiership over two matches for a place in the top flight. birmingham city ladies say they will not fear manchester city in tomorrow's women's fa cup final. birming

there's a huge game at hampden too, where aberdeen take on celtic in the scottish cup final. celtic are unbeaten in every domestic match this season and are going for the treble having already won the scottish premiership, as well as beating aberdeen in the league cup final. they have certainly exceeded what i thought they could achieve. myjob was to lead, to push, to demand. and the players have been able to cope with that. you would do well to see a season again like like it, to go through a season unbeaten. winning 3a out of 38 games and winning both domestic cups. that is our plan, that is our aim and we will do our best to do it. more celtic teams should won the treble in recent years but for some reason they haven't. this celtic team is very sharp, focused, very confident. they don't give much encouragement to their opponents. we have to try and find a way to put a seed of doubt in their mind. a sell—out crowd of 82,000 people will pack into twickenham this afternoon for the showpiece event of rugby union's premiership season, the play—off final. it's a battle betwe

they left it late to beat aberdeen... the game looked to be heading for extra time when tom rogich scored the winner in the second minute of injury time. they might have struggled in europe, but brendan rogers‘ invincibles have dominated the game in scotland, in his first season in charge. in rugby union, exeter chiefs have won their first ever premiership title. it really went down to the wire against wasps, in the final. it was all square after 80 minutes but an extra—time penalty by gareth steenson was just enough for the chiefs, as they banished any bad memories from losing last year's final. it's been quite a rise for exeter, who only seven years ago won promotion to the top league — the premiership. scarlets are the new champions of the pro 12 after an exciting 116—22 win over munster. a nice send off for liam williams, who scored on his last appearance for scarletts, before he moves to saracens next season. the welsh side ran in six tries in all, to cap an impressive play—off campaign. boxing now, and bri

brendan rodger‘s side are of course unbeaten in domestic football this season — many feel like aberdeen will represent the best chance for them to be stopped. celtic can reach the 100—point mark with victory. i think ithink in i think in terms of performance, both from our players and as a team, i think it's important. we've got to let celtic know that where there and will be there again in fortnight‘s time at camden. i think it will be two separate games, played in two separate pictures, different competitions, but the importance is bringing a level of performance against celtic. that's important. my main objective is the scottish cup final. similar to our rangers game at parkhead, a couple of months ago, isaid to at parkhead, a couple of months ago, i said to you back then, despite whatever the result would be, we we re whatever the result would be, we were looking to get to the optimum level for the semifinal and this is exactly the same. no matter what the result, what the performance, win, lose or draw, our focus is very much on the scottish cup final. birmingham city's ladies

the scottish labour party has suspended all nine members of the labour group in aberdeen for breaching party rules. it comes after labourjoined forces with the conservatives and independents to form a coalition to run the city council. this isn't about positions or gold medals around the necks of councillors, this is about the job labour councillors are elected to do to protect public services, to invest in and defend public services. the deal coming from aberdeen didn't pass that test, that is why it was rejected by the democratic body of the labour party and that is why that must be respected and why we have moved to suspend these councillors. liberal democrat leader tim farron wants to give power back to the people over brexit. that's what he said at the launch of the party's manifesto this evening. it's really obvious when you think about it. someone is going to have the final say over the brexit deal. it could be the politicians or it could be the people. i believe it should be the people. you should have the final say on whether theresa may's brexit deal is right for you and your

they beat aberdeen 2—1 thanks to a last gasp winner. patrick gearey reports. four weeks celtic have been taking the applause, hail scotland's champions, a final short of a treble. but aberdeen have been closer to them than any other, their motto, stand free, just as their winger did ten minutes in. gasps and cheers and barely cleared throats when celtic responded. stuart armstrong was the scorer. aberdeen had been ahead for less than two minutes. now it was a final of full—blooded stuff. kieran tierney jim out of this without the truth. the last team to beat celtic in any competition was barcelona, it calls for aberdonian inspiration rather than fear. the only problem, the final moments. and celtic were coming, closer, it seemed, with every attack. patrick roberts within inches. at 90 minutes dons were hanging on. stoppage time was heart stopping time, and a young man from australia who was about to become a legend. victory and history that means more for having had to fight for it, celtic, scotland's invincible ‘s. this is exceptional. for the season to g
