Ahh Thursday. Indubitably one of the finest days of the week.
It certainly will be for Courier readers as we serve up an edition you won’t want to miss. Under any circumstances.
We have more details of the report slamming Police Scotland following the road accident which cost a man his leg. An investigation into the incident has found officers missed several opportunities to prevent the devastating incident.
Meanwhile, a judgment has been released following one of the longest running Fatal Accident Inquiries in recent memory. Concerning the death of Polish worker Petr Adamik in a caravan blaze on a Tayside farm, the findings make pretty grim reading for both the farmer and local council.
We also have the amazing story of the biker who cheated death after sliding beneath a lorry on the killer A9. He has now ditched two wheels and is thinking of taking up fishing. Remarkable stuff.
Remember Jean van de Velde? He’s the fellow who endured a very public meltdown, paddling around in the burn at Carnoustie as his dreams of winning the 1999 Open drowned. Well, old Jean has returned to the scene of his golfing embarrassment. Find out why in Thursday’s Courier.
In other news, the famous Tartan Army has descended on Wembley and our sports writer Ian Roache has joined them.
We’ll have a report on the match, reaction from the players and pictures of the Scotland fans who poured into Trafalgar Square (where the pouring theme continued courtesy of a few modest tipples).
At home, Jackie McNamara has backed David Goodwillie to come good.
We also have an interview with Dundee hockey star Vikki Bunce on her Olympic heartbreak and her Commonwealth dreams.
