Milne takes a break

Falkirk defender Kenny Milne is hopeful of a swift return to action after suffering a fresh groin problem in the 2-1 defeat by Motherwell.
The 27-year-old lasted just 30 minutes of the reverse to the Steelmen, but is hoping to return to the fold after missing only the clash with Rangers next Sunday.
He told the Daily Record: "I've struggled for the last month, but things reached breaking point on Saturday when I felt a sudden, sharp pain.
"I've been told I have two small tears in my abductor muscle - one is below the groin area and the other is just below my backside.
"It's just one of those things that I now have to look at on a week-to-week basis and see how I feel. It's a little niggle that needs to settle down and my body has told me to stop.
"I definitely won't play in our game against Rangers at Ibrox, which is disappointing because that's the type of game everyone wants to play in.
"But we have a free weekend after that due to the Scottish Cup, so by the time the next league game comes round hopefully I'll be further on."
