David Healy reveals the approach Linfield will take into second leg against Zalgiris
Linfield boss David Healy believes caution and patience will be the buzz words ahead of his team's UEFA Conference League second leg showdown with Lithuanian side Zalgiris at Windsor Park on Thursday night. The Sports Direct Premiership Champions battled out a goalless draw at the LFF Stadium in Vilnius last week to put themselves into a decent position for a possible third qualifying round clash with Faroese outfit Vikingur later this month.

SNP ministers splurged £50k taxpayer's cash on marketing for huge salmon multinationals
SNP ministers splurged £50k taxpayer's cash on marketing for huge salmon multinationals The Scottish Government gave half the funds for a campaign to boost 'Label Rouge' certified salmon in French and European markets. Label Rouge logo SNP ministers have been slammed after lavishing £50,000 of taxpayer's cash on a marketing campaign for huge salmon multinationals. The Scottish Government gave half the funds for a campaign to boost 'Label Rouge' certified salmon in French and European markets. Firms which produce premium Label Rouge salmon include Norway's Mowi, the world's largest salmon company, which raked in nearly £100million in profits from its Scottish operations alone last year. Others benefiting from the cash are Faroese giant Bakkafrost and Canadian multi-national Cooke Aquaculture. Andrew Graham-Stewart, of WildFish Scotland, said: 'The salmon farming industry has no shame in the way it sponges public money. 'Major corporations making money at the expense of Scotland's marine environment don't need subsidies. Why on earth can the industry not pay for its own marketing?' Holyrood and Westminster governments have shelled out nearly £17million in four years to the farmed salmon industry. Andrew Graham-Stewart, interim director of WildFish Scotland The sector faces mounting controversy over mass fish mortalities and environmental impacts at farm facilities along the Scottish coast. Eco charities also say the Label Rouge certification, viewed as a marker of quality, is 'highly problematic' as it requires salmon to be fed higher volumes of fishmeal and fish oil. This is 'driving the plunder of wild fish around the world', warned Amelia Cookson, campaigner at Foodrise. Industry body Salmon Scotland said the marketing initiative is designed to counter a threat to Scotland's European exports caused by US President Donald Trump's tariffs regime. Article continues below It and the Scottish Government are paying £50,000 each towards the campaign. A Scottish Government spokeswoman said: 'Scottish salmon exports were worth a record breaking £844million last year and we will do everything we can to ensure our excellent Scottish exports build on their competitive position in Europe and beyond, particularly at this time of uncertainty in the US market.'

I scored four in my first two Euro outings – it wouldn't surprise me if David Gray has a dream Euro debut in Hibs dugout
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) STEVIE MALLAN enjoyed a dream debut the last time Hibs tackled the Europa League.

With Hibs back in the Europa League, Mallan is backing old pal Gray to make his mark from the dugout this time around. Mallan told SunSport: "I joined Hibs on the Friday and the following Thursday made my debut in Europe - and scored twice! "I actually scored twice in the second leg as well. Four goals in Europe in my first two games for the club was pretty special. "I sat next to Davie in the dressing room for years and he's a top guy. "It wouldn't surprise me to see him do well in Europe because he has picked up plenty of experience of it as a player. "He also showed last season what a great manager he can be. Hopefully the draw is kind to them and they get to the group stages." Neil Lennon's Hibs made it through to the third round in 2018, eventually exiting after a 3-0 aggregate defeat to Molde. In the Edinburgh club's defence, the Norwegians did have a young Erling Haaland in their ranks. The Man City superstar netted twice in the decisive second leg and Mallan said: "Haaland actually missed the first leg in Edinburgh because he was away having a medical. David Gray opens up on THAT Cup Final winner for Hibs against Rangers and how he felt like a 'wild horse' as he celebrated "Unfortunately for us, he was back in for the second leg, scored a brace and got an assist. "He was the decisive factor and has gone on to be an incredible player. You could tell he was special and we were just unlucky he didn't move on sooner!"
