He’s fine – Man City boss Pep Guardiola dismisses Erling Haaland’s injury scareBy Andy Hampson, PA, LisbonPep Guardiola has dismissed fears top scorer Erling Haaland has suffered an injury scare ahead of Manchester City’s Champions League clash with Sporting Lisbon. Yet manager Guardiola confirmed the 24-year-old is fit and well after the squad arrived in the Portuguese capital later that evening. “He’s fine,” said Guardiola, before adding with a touch of sarcasm.

Politics watch: General election confirmation imminent with Finance Bill to clear DáilJames CoxHere, we have a look at the topics likely to dominate political discourse in the week to come. After months of speculation, Mr Harris finally confirmed the election will be held in 2024, adding that his preference was a Friday vote. A light Dáil schedule for Thursday has prompted speculation that this is the day Mr Harris will go to Áras an Uachtaráin to ask President Michael D Higgins to dissolve the Dáil. Speaking to reporters in Co Kildare later on Sunday, he denied those remarks were a thinly veiled dig at Mr Harris. The state has 19 electoral votes, and was won by Joe Biden in 2020 and Mr Trump in 2016.

Ruben Amorim: If Sporting beat City they will think I am new Sir Alex FergusonBy Andy Hampson, PAIncoming Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim will ignore comparisons with Sir Alex Ferguson if he steers his Sporting Lisbon side to victory over Manchester City. The Portuguese, who was named as Erik ten Hag’s successor last week, will take charge of his final Sporting home game as City visit the Jose Alvalade Stadium in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Rate cuts 'to go ahead' despite turbulence as US election and UK budget rattle markets
Interest rates look set to be cut on both sides of the Atlantic this week despite uncertainty created by the Budget and the US presidential election. Higher inflation means slower rate cuts. The Chancellor’s £162billion borrowing binge and associated spending splurge are seen as likely to add to inflation pressures, something that would slow the path of rate cuts. The fall in inflation enabled the Bank to cut interest rates from 5.25 per cent to 5 per cent in August though it held fire in September. But following the Budget, traders are no longer betting on a pre-Christmas cut in December – and are pencilling in the next one in February.

Forum | Rangers fans in bust ups with other Rangers fans at a game or elsewhere !! by numptydumpty
I dont mind the odd expletive ridden rant but these people don't realise how much their incessant nonsense spoils the game for others around them. If we score an incredible goal - rare, I know - but these type of people a millisecond later are moaning and groaning again. Anyhow a couple men behind this guy were fed up, hearing this match after match. Stewards had to be called in, as a few blows and the odd grapple later, they had to be ripped apart. Anyone else seen any Rangers fans take a physical dislike to each other, or players even ?
