May still has Lions future

Millwall boss Willie Donachie has reassured Ben May that he still has a future at the New Den despite allowing the striker to leave on loan last week.
May joined Championship side Scunthorpe United on a three-month loan deal after becoming disillusioned with recent criticism from supporters.
But Donachie insists the door remains open for the 23-year-old forward to return to the club should he wish to fight for his place.
"I hope he goes and does well and it will be good for him, for us and for everybody," he said.
"I'd like him to stay, but it is entirely up to Ben if he wants to play for Millwall.
"If Ben says 'I want to go out on loan', this tells me he is not prepared to battle and stay in the team.
"If I was dropped or taken off or the crowd gave me stick, I would say 'all right, I'm going to show you'.
"Those are the sort of people you need, not ones when they get a bit of stick, they say they want to go somewhere else."
