John Kennedy's retirement was another blow for a Scotland team short on talent and coherence Perhaps it was inevitable, but the confirmation a week ago that Celtic's John Kennedy had been forced to retire from professional football still struck an emotional chord with even the most hardened Scottish football fan. Kennedy's knee has never recovered from the brutal challenge of Romania's Ioan Ganea...

Whatever complexion the new community council takes next month there will be one face sorely missed. Margaret Mackintosh is stepping down after 14 years on the council. Over that time she has been to the forefront of debate and many of the issues that the River Council has campaigned on.
