In case you missed it: Mail Sport's tribute to rugby great Ian Mighty Mouse McLauchlan PLUS John Beattie recalls his two tours of duty with the Lions
The sporting week began on a sad note with the announcement that British and Irish Lions great Ian 'Mighty Mouse' McLauchlan had passed away.
McLauchlan was considered one of the toughest and feistiest players to ever pull on a Scotland jersey, something he did 43 times between 1969 and 1979.
It was his performances for the Lions, however, that elevated the Ayrshire-born prop's reputation and brought him to wider recognition, something he did with distinction over two tours of duty.
Mail Sport paid fitting tribute to the Mouse Who Roared with Graeme Macpherson tracking his incredible journey from Tarbolton to Dunedin and back again.
Another former Scotland great and two-time tourist John Beattie looked back on his Lions memories with Hugh MacDonald.
Beattie was selected for the 1980 tour to South Africa and 1983 trip to New Zealand.
The Lions made an inauspicious start to their campaign with defeat against Argentina, with Mail Sport highlighting the performance of Scottish winger Duhan van der Merwe.
The big wing looked promising in attack during defeat to the Pumas but was at fault for two Argentina tries in the first half.
Lions head coach Andy Farrell needs to see big improvement from van der Merwe if he's to make the Test team to face Australia.
Mail Sport's Heather Dewar spoke exclusively to motorsport legend Allan McNish and found out that even the midges are a hazard at Le Mans. The Scottish driver revealed all about the thrills, spills and unexpected challenges of motor sport's greatest test of endurance.
The 55-year-old is the holder of three Le Mans titles, having made 14 starts and earned a place in the Hall of Fame. 'It's not just a motor sport fixture,' says McNish. 'It's ingrained in French culture.'
The football season may be dormant at the moment but Mail Sport's Ian Herbert brought you new revelations from former Rangers chairman Sir David Murray, who outlined his fears for the club under new American owners.
Murray claims Rangers are missing out on a Scottish core and should be going for players like Lennon Miller.
The former Rangers owner, promoting his new book Mettle, doubts the entire £20million outlay touted by Andrew Cavenagh's 49ers Enterprises-backed consortium will be made available for players

Salford thrashed but hope for brighter days as financial situation improves
The start of a brighter future, or merely another false dawn? Only in the weeks to come will we know just what the latest developments off the field surrounding Salford Red Devils mean but on it these remain troubling and frustrating times. The irony cannot have been lost on any Salford fan who was inside the Totally Wicked Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Four months ago, they began their season at the same venue amid huge controversy, after the Red Devils chose to field their academy side and lost 82-0 in protest against the salary-cap restrictions placed upon them by the Rugby Football League. At the time there was debate about the merits of those restrictions but months later they remain in place – and with good reason. Since that day in February, Salford have been taken over but their financial troubles have continued, with debts mounting up, significant player sales and salaries being paid late. It is to the immense credit of the players and staff that they have turned up every week and performed with all of this hanging over their heads. Unsurprisingly, with star players sold and the club borrowing players from other clubs, they have been by some distance the weakest team in Super League in 2025, with just one win. Danny Richardson, the latest debutant here after arriving on loan from Hull KR, was the 54th player the head coach, Paul Rowley, has fielded in league and cup. Few would expect anything other than heavy defeat week after week, and that theme continued here as the Saints ran in 11 unanswered tries to win 58-0. This week, though, there was a chink of light off the field. It was entirely possible that Salford could have ceased to exist by Sunday had a winding-up petition filed against the club by HMRC for debts approaching £700,000 gone through. Instead, it was adjourned until September. Why? Salford have secured a bridging loan to the tune of £3m that will enable them to clear their debts to HMRC and the Rugby Football League, hopefully remove the salary-cap measures and open the door for what club sources insist is a multi-million-pound sum in a hedge fund that will be unlocked by the club's new owners once debts are settled. It is not an end to the problems, but respite if nothing else. It is a bizarre situation but given how there were fears Salford could have ceased to exist by Sunday, let alone this year, it is something to cling to. The pressure now falls on the ownership group, led by Sire Kailahi and Curtis Brown, to deliver after months of false promises. The Guardian understands that if those funds are released, the club will be handed over to someone to run it day-to-day and keep it sustainable. That man could be the former Red Devils chief executive, Paul King, who returned from gardening leave to help steward the club through this crisis – and who used his own money to pay the wages last month. Sign up to The Recap The best of our sports journalism from the past seven days and a heads-up on the weekend's action after newsletter promotion Salford's problems, though, are also Super League's. Having a team under special financial measures being heavily beaten every week is not a good look. This felt more like a training session for St Helens, but that is not the fault of the Red Devils' players or staff, who have acquitted themselves commendably throughout this crisis. There is every chance Salford, who were 12th last year in the IMG gradings which determine promotion and relegation, could be removed from the competition in the autumn if their score suffers as a result of the financial problems which have engulfed the club. There are Championship teams waiting to strike in 2026. But the onus must fall on the game to ensure its ownership tests are more stringent, and that players receive adequate welfare and support when financial strife hits. Salford's players, staff and supporters have been grossly failed this year. The sport should be embarrassed – not only by the look it creates for Super League, but for the toll it has taken on human beings who deserve much better. It must be hoped Salford have reached their nadir and they can look ahead with some level of optimism with this financial crisis finally behind them.

'I get goosebumps when I walk in the gates,' says Scotland's Jacob Fearnley ahead of tough Wimbledon opener
Jacob Fearnley has enjoyed a remarkable rise since making his Wimbledon debut last year but admits he'll still get goosebumps walking through the famous gates tomorrow morning. The Scot starts his campaign on Court One against the exciting 18-year-old Brazilian, Joao Fonseca, who is making his own first appearance at the tournament. Last year, Fearnley faced Novak Djokovic on Centre Court, having been ranked outside the top 500 a little more than a month before, and even took a set off the seven-time champion in his second-round defeat. 'It is a bit different,' he told BBC Sport. 'I have to keep reminding myself that this is still a really special place and not to take it for granted. 'Coming in as a wildcard last year, I was in complete awe and, to be honest, I still am. I get goosebumps when I walk in the gates.' It's a tough ask first up as Fearnley, 23, has lost to Fonseca in both of their previous encounters, most recently at Indian Wells in March. 'There's a reason why everyone talks about him,' said Fearnley. 'He's earned that respect from all the players. 'It's going to be a difficult match, playing on Court One. It doesn't get much better than that.' Fonseca is realising a long-held dream in playing at Wimbledon and, while he may not receive the same raucous support he enjoyed in places like Miami this season, he is looking forward to experiencing the British crowd. 'It's difficult to be as loud as the Brazilians,' he said. 'Hopefully there's going to be some Brazilians cheering for me. 'For sure it's going to be a good match. Jacob is a nice friend and a nice player. 'Even on Court One, it's just going to be a dream playing my first match here in Wimbledon. 'I'm just enjoying every week, there's a lot of first times for me and I'm just going to enjoy it a lot. 'This tournament is a dream, everything you can see is perfect. Even the flowers, every detail is just perfect. You just see how amazing it is. 'It's for sure my favourite grand slam because of the culture and the history of Wimbledon.
