Hibs given ultimate respect by Partizan as club president crystal clear over Conference League clash importance

The Belgrade club take on the Hibees in the Serbian capital for a spot in play-off round of the third tier competition Partizan president Rasim Ljajic has billed their Euro showdown with Hibs as the biggest of their season. ‌ The Belgrade club take on the Hibees in the Serbian capital for a spot in play-off round of the Conference League. ‌ Ljajic reckons that while their draw could have been tougher, it's far from the easiest and bemoaned Partizan's apparent luckless history of always having to do things the hard way. ‌ 'The Hibernian game is like a final for now,' he said. 'We know that, if we want to go further, we have to win this one. 'We are focused on Hibernian and focused on this round of qualifications. We cannot rush ahead. It is important to be ready for this round – and think about the next opponent later, especially as we may know each other. 'The visit of Hibernian this week is the most important match of the season for us. No-one should doubt that. 'The draw for the play-off could have been easier. Or it could have been harder. But we're used to doing things the hard way at Partizan. 'We could have tried to build this team and this spirit in a hurry. But it would be short-lived. 'As you know, we never have things easy. And I think we need a bit of luck, like any team in football. But I expect positive results because of the hard work of these young players, who burn with desire and passion for Partizan every time they take the field.' ‌ Partizan were emptied by AEK Larnaca of Cyprus, and again Ljajic cursed his club's bad fortune. 'We were actually fortunate in Larnaca,' he said. 'But our luck deserted us in the second game at home. Objectively, most people could see that we deserved to go further. ‌ 'We can prove that now. But first we need to win this final against Hibernian.' Star man Milan Vukotic has tunnel vision when it comes to the clash against their Scottish opponents. He added: 'Victories are important because winning gives us real confidence in what we are doing. ‌ "But we have to be aware that there is no time to celebrate. 'With games so fast, we have to go step by step and focus on the next challenge. "That is the game against Hibernian; nothing else matters next to that. Everything else must come second to our European game. 'At this moment, all I can promise is that we will give everything and do our best. With the support of the fans lifting us, we can be better than anyone imagines.'

ITV shares first-look at Game of Thrones star's 'intoxicating' new thriller

The six-part thriller is set to air later this year, starring The Walking Dead's Andrew Lincoln and Indira Varma. ITV has unveiled the first glimpse of its upcoming thriller, Coldwater. The six-part series, set to premiere this autumn, stars Andrew Lincoln of The Walking Dead fame and Indira Varma from Obsession. ‌ Set in the fictional Scottish village of Coldwater and filmed in and around Glasgow, the plot revolves around Andrew's character John, who finds himself at the heart of eerie occurrences as past traumas resurface. ‌ John relocates his family to the rural tranquillity of Coldwater in an attempt to distance themselves from London. However, he soon grows frustrated with his mundane existence as a middle-aged stay-at-home dad, his suppressed anger threatening to disrupt his life as he knows it. ‌ Following an identity crisis in London, where John failed to intervene in a violent playground confrontation, he yearns for a more peaceful future for his family, only to encounter further disturbances in Coldwater. Upon arrival, he quickly forms a friendship with his next-door neighbour Tommy, portrayed by Ewen Bremner. Tommy is a charismatic, self-assured man and a dedicated husband to the local vicar Rebecca, played by Eve Myles, reports the Express. ‌ On the surface, Tommy appears to be a man of faith, a community stalwart, and the self-proclaimed leader of the village's all-male book group. Initially impressed and somewhat intrigued by Tommy, John soon finds himself ensnared in his web. ‌ Meanwhile, his spouse Fiona, portrayed by Indira, harbours deep resentment towards him following their relocation to Coldwater, as what was meant to be a fresh start has utterly failed to rekindle their deteriorating relationship. As her husband grows increasingly close to their mysterious new neighbour, Fiona's alarm bells begin ringing and she starts questioning whether Tommy is genuinely who he claims to be. John's long-suppressed fury eventually erupts with catastrophic consequences, leaving him surprisingly beholden to his newfound companion, completely oblivious to the fact that Tommy is concealing deeply disturbing secrets of his own. ‌ It's only when a string of disturbing events begins unfolding that John starts questioning Tommy's true identity. The synopsis hints: "This is the story of a normal man, in a normal marriage, who finds himself in a far from normal situation. ‌ "A man who discovers a newfound sense of his own power, right at the moment he falls under the influence of someone incredibly dangerous." Coldwater has been penned, conceived and executive produced by David Ireland, with Lee Haven Jones (Doctor Who) helming the opening three episodes and Andrew Cumming (Shetland) taking charge of the latter half. ‌ Speaking previously, creator David revealed in a statement: "Cold Water started with a question I was asking myself. Where do I want to live - the countryside or the city? Such an innocent beginning, but from it came this dark, funny, twisted thriller. "I was delighted when Sister loved the script and thrilled when ITV decided to commission it. "And I'm amazed we've managed to attract such a peerless cast, led by the formidable Andrew Lincoln. I hope viewers will find it intoxicating." Coldwater is set to premiere on ITV1, ITVX, STV, and STV player this autumn.
