Will I make a decision before the World Cup? Yeah, that will definitely happen. For me, I will make up my mind before the summer and it's always been in my head that I don't want it hanging over me.

A 34-year-old Iranian man and a 31-year-old Romanian woman have been arrested and charged in connection with the incident at HM Naval Base Clyde, known as Faslane.

The deployment will see more than four million people and businesses across Scotland able to benefit from the next-generation network, which delivers faster speeds, better reliability and lower latency.

Two people walking their dogs on a beach in Scotland came across footprints left by humans and animals 2,000 years earlier. Although ancient footprints have been found in a handful of locations in England, this is the first such site ever recorded in Scotland. Ivor Campbell and Jenny Snedden spotted the prints on Lunan Bay in Angus, eastern Scotland, after a strong storm in January.

The best places to visit in May take advantage of that elusive window of perfect weather as spring turns to summer, when it's not too hot and it's not too cold-all you need is a light jacket. That frees up essential space in our carry-ons (big puffy jackets and thermal leggings can stay home, finally), creating more room for souvenirs from wherever we may go.

Around six million low-income households will continue to receive 150 off their winter energy bills after the government confirmed its Warm Home Discount will remain for five more years. It follows a consultation on how best to continue the scheme, which has been in place since 2011, with eligibility widened last year to include a further 2.7 million families. Ministers said extending the scheme until the winter of 2030/31 would help with the ongoing high cost of living,

Of course, where you want to go on vacation has a lot to do with your personality, and that's why dream destinations tend to be different for each zodiac sign. If you're more of an adventurous type - read: an air or fire sign - you'd probably gloss over chic spas and hotel pools in favor of destinations that are a little more thrilling. You want to swim, snorkel, and go on heart-pounding hikes.

It really did happen, you know. Scotland are going to the 2026 World Cup. Maybe it will all feel real when Heidi Klum and Kevin Hart begin co-hosting duties at Friday's draw? Hmm, probably not. What about when the Village People take their turn to perform on stage? Or Robbie Williams? Or Andrea Bocelli? Or Nicole Scherzinger? Guess we will have to wait for some famous former footballer to awkwardly crack open a small plastic ball to reveal 'Scotland' on an unfolded piece of paper for it all to sink in.

Image source, SNS Scotland and Napoli midfielder Billy Gilmour is facing an extended absence after the Italian club confirmed he will have surgery on Monday. The Serie A side have not disclosed the nature of Gilmour's injury, or a timeframe for his return, but the 24-year-old has missed the past month, reportedly with a groin issue. Gilmour sat out Scotland's recent qualifiers against Greece and Denmark through injury as the national team reached their first World Cup finals since 1998.

The Tartan Army shook the earth as they celebrated Scotland's men qualifying for a first World Cup in 28 years. The British Geological Survey (BGS) recorded the equivalent to an "extremely small earthquake" after Kenny McLean lobbed Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel to secure a 4-2 win. A second significant amount of seismic activity came moments later when the final whistle sounded on Wednesday night. Readings were recorded at the BGS station at Glasgow Geothermal Observatory in Dalmarnock about 2km (1.2 miles) from Hampden Park.

The Scots have qualified for a first World Cup in 28 years, thanks to a dramatic night against the Danish, and next summer, they will head to the tournament for the ninth time in search of glory: so with this quiz, let's rewind back to a balmy afternoon in Saint-Etienne in 1998. All Saints were big, the PlayStation was in its infancy, Saving Private Ryan was hitting theatres and Craig Brown was fielding a Champions League winner for Scotland

Sitting pretty in second place, Scotland's tally of 10 points at this stage stands them in good stead to qualify for next summer's World Cup in North America. Level on points with current leaders Denmark, the Tartan Army are praying the Danes somehow slip up with just two fixtures left to play. Here's what you need to know about live streams and broadcast options to watch Greece vs Scotland online, on TV, and from anywhere.

Yeah, absolutely. That's the manager's call. I just go there and be the best that I can be and see what happens. I can just be myself, do what I normally do, train as well as I possibly can. It's an unfortunate situation that we're in at the moment where there's not many goalkeepers playing first-team football.
