Father's day for Collins

Hibernian boss John Collins dedicated his side's CIS Cup Final thrashing of Kilmarnock to his father, who died in January.
The 5-1 win ended Hibs' 16-year trophy drought and Collins hopes it will be the start of a golden era for the Edinburgh-based side.
"I lost my father a few months ago and he was desperate for me to win the Cup," he said. "So he was with me and I was thinking of my father at the end.
"It's all about the next game now. And we're in the semi-final of the Scottish Cup so the players have had a taste of it today and will want more.
"They'll remember that for the rest of their lives and it will push them on. Money can't buy that.
"But they can't sit back and think they've done it. That's just the start for them and now it's about the next match.
"They're going to be heroes in the city for winning one trophy. If they can win two they'll become legends."
