Major supermarket launches rare golden raspberries in its UK stores for first time – but only while the crop lasts
A MAJOR supermarket has announced it will be launching limited edition, golden raspberries across UK stores. The Scottish-grown berries will be available in selected stores for a limited window, while crop lasts. 2 Rare raspberries to hit shelves in just hours The rare summer fruit will hit Asda's shelves from July 5. The popular supermarket worked with grower partners Bruce Farms and supplier Scotty Brand to bring this unique variety to the shop floors. Geoff Bruce, director at Bruce Farms, said: "The golden raspberries have been a real passion project for us and it's exciting to be at the forefront of introducing something new to the Scottish soft fruit sector. "As growers, we're always looking for ways to innovate and explore different varieties that not only thrive in our climate but also offer a unique selling point for customers." What shoppers can expect from bizarre new item In addition to the distinctive yellow colour, the fruit is said to have a "delicate texture" and bring all the flavour of traditional varieties of the beloved berry. Andrew Scott, development manager at Scotty Brand, added: "Our long-standing partnership with Asda has enabled us to bring this exclusive new product to market, supporting growth and diversification within the sector while showcasing the exceptional quality of Scottish produce and the vital role of local, sustainable growing practices." Rare fruits are all the rage Asda isn't the only UK store to experiment with bizarre berries. Everyone can see the berries but you have a genius level IQ if you can spot the heart shaped one Shoppers flocked to M&S to get their hands on the berry that allegedly tasted like white chocolate. One user commented on social media: "These are amazing." While another said: "This is a craving I didn't even know I had." How to save at Asda Shop the budget range Savvy shopper Eilish Stout-Cairns recommends that shoppers grab items from Asda's Just Essentials range. She said: " Asda's budget range is easy to spot as it's bright yellow! Keep your eyes peeled for yellow and you'll find their Just Essentials range. "It's great value and I've found it has a much wider selection of budget items compared to other supermarkets. Sign up to Asda Rewards The savvy-saver also presses on the importance of signing up to Asda's reward scheme. She said: "Asda Rewards is free to join and if you shop at Asda you should absolutely sign up. "As an Asda Rewards member, you'll get exclusive discounts and offers, and you'll also be able to earn 10% cashback on Star Products. "This will go straight into your cashpot, and once you've earned at least £1, you can transfer the money in your cashpot into ASDA vouchers. We've previously rounded up the best supermarket loyalty schemes - including the ones that will save you the most money. Look out for booze deals Eilish always suggests that shoppers looking to buy booze look out for bargain deals. She said: "Asda often has an alcohol offer on: buy six bottles and save 25%. "The offer includes selected bottles with red, white and rose options, as well as prosecco. There are usually lots of popular bottles included, for example, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot and Freixenet Prosecco D.O.C. "Obviously, the more expensive the bottles you choose, the more you save." Join Facebook groups The savvy saver also recommends that fans of Asda join Facebook groups to keep in the know about the latest bargains in-store. Eilish said: "I recommend joining the Latest Deals Facebook Group to find out about the latest deals and new launches in store. "Every day, more than 250,000 deal hunters share their latest bargain finds and new releases. "For example, recently a member shared a picture of Asda's new Barbie range spotted in store. "Another member shared the bargain outdoor plants she picked up, including roses for 47p, blackcurrant bushes for 14p and topiary trees for 14p." 2

Six Rangers 'surprises' vying for Russell Martin's attention as misfit stars must make pre season first impressions count
The likes of Jose Cifuentes, Danilo and Oscar Cortes need to start showing more if they are to have meaningful Rangers careers Another Rangers pre-season gets underway and there's another clean slate for everyone on the back of a disappointing season. Russell Martin is the latest man tasked with at least giving Celtic a proper title challenge and upping the Ibrox trophy count now that Celtic have pulled ahead on that front. The new signings have started to arrive with Joe Rothwell and Emmanuel Fernandez through the door. Norwegian international midfielder Thelo Aasgaard and Leicester City defender Conor Coady are expected to join them. But what about those who are still with the club but have become somewhat forgotten amidst the sea of change taking place at Ibrox this summer? Jose Cifuentes is back after a year-long loan in Greece determined to show his worth and her won't be the only one. Martin insists he has no pre-conceived ideas about the members of his Rangers squad and said when he was appointed that he's willing to have his mind changed based on what he sees at Auchenhowie. "I'm always open and willing to be surprised so I'm looking forward to that, to really see what the players can do," he said. "I know they haven't had a long time off so hopefully they can be in a good place physically and we can really crack on pretty quickly. But yeah, the hard work really begins now." That leaves the door open for former fringe men to stake a claim and turns their Rangers fortunes around. Record Sport looks at who could really do with a strong start to the summer after indifferent Gers careers so far. Jose Cifuentes May as well start with the Ecuadorian. Was held up as a signing that could help take Rangers to the "next level" by Michael Beale, which arguably set him up to fail. Being closely associated with the Londoner's doomed Ibrox reign has done him no favours since either and it's very much been a case of out of sight, out of mind for Cifuentes. who it was just accepted would not be coming back to Ibrox. But now he is and Record Sport understands he's none too keen to just accepting his fate. Regular football in Greece will have helped, although with Martin having signed one midfielder and another set to arrive, he has a job on his hands convincing he's the man to hold down an engine room spot under the new gaffer. Danilo Another Beale buy, the Brazilian arrived with an impressive pedigree for a chunky transfer fee. In fairness, Danilo has produced some big moments in Light Blue, including two goals in Old Firm clashes. The problem has been injuries. Getting him on the pitch often enough to justify that big outlay from Beale has been the issue rather than the player's form failing to live up to expectations. With Cyriel Dessers strongly linked with AEK and Lille keen on Hamza Igamane, Martin needs a frontman he can rely on. Dessers has shown he can be that guy but if he moves on, hanging your hat on Danilo is a risk based on recent evidence, Oscar Cortes Rangers making the decision to extend the Colombian's loan for a further year last summer rather than stump up £4million to sign him based on very little playing time was sensible. That couldn't be avoided this year though so now it's in their interest to get him on the pitch regularly. Like Danilo, injury has robbed Cortes of valuable playing time, although his fellow South American has done more in his limited playing time. He returned to training towards the end of last season so should be able to hit the ground running at the start of Martin's reign. At 21, time is on his side but patience is in short supply at a club like Rangers so needs to start showing something, even if he's not seen as one of the main men. Kieran Dowell The common denominator amongst those on the edge of things at Rangers is Beale, which doesn't say much for his transfer acumen. Dowell is another who has done his best work on temporary secondment from Ibrox. A loan spell with League One champions Birmingham City was an unqualified success, with Blues fans keen for Chris Davies to bring Dowell back to St Andrew's on a permanent basis. That may still happen, but Martin will at least get a loo at the midfielder over the next few weeks.. Again though, he operates in an area where the new boss is strengthening already so the writing could already be on the wall and a return to Blues would seem to suit all parties. Ben Davies Another Birmingham loan star who faces even more competition for game time under Martin. Centre back is a priority position. Robin Propper will likely head back to FC Twente eventually, although feature din a closed doors game earlier this week. But with John Souttar ahead of him, Emmanuel Fernandez signed, Conor Coady expected to sign and Wolves centre back Nasser Djigga in talks over a loan move, it's starting to look a bit crowded in the heart of the Gers defence. Rabbi Matondo The Welsh winger is in the last chance saloon when it comes to his Rangers career. This is the last year of his contract and a seriously underwhelming loan stint with Hanover 96 last season has done little to convince there's more to come. Matondo has shown what he can do in glimpses. Electric pace is a weapon any club wants in their arsenal, but affecting games is where Matondo falls down, a late Old Firm leveller against Celtic and the odd Euro moment not withstanding. He's shown precious little against the lesser lights of the Scottish Premiership and that's where he needs to be consistent to persuade Martin he can offer something going forward. If not, another loan before release next summer seems the obvious outcome this season.
