What the Scottish daily papers say
Under the headline "Staying," The Daily Record reports that Celtic manager Martin O'Neill has insisted he is not leaving the Glasgow club.
Staying with sport, it says that British tennis player Tim Henman "flopped" on the Centre Court at Wimbledon as he was knocked out in straight sets at the semi-final stage. The end of David Murray's 14-year reign as chairman of Rangers is reported in The Scotsman, which says the announcement stunned Scottish football. It also reports on the controversy after figures showed that the bill for the Scottish Executive's advertising campaigns had more than doubled to £7.2m in the last year. Critics have accused the executive of using millions of pounds of taxpayers' money to promote its policies in the run-up to next year's Holyrood elections. Back on the sporting theme, The Scottish Sun says that golf fanatic Peter Davies bagged two holes in one in three days - after an operation to fix his eyesight. The Herald reports David Murray's 14-year reign as chairman of Rangers ended as he resigned to concentrate on his other business interests and spend more time with his sons. The Scottish Daily Mail says the wife of Scottish football star Colin Hendry has spoken for the first time of her fight for life. The Independent reports a highly classified document reveals America's military command is planning a three-pronged invasion of Iraq involving air, land and sea forces attacking from separate directions to create an overwhelming strike that will oust the dictator, Saddam Hussein. The Courier says the Civil Aviation Authority is investigating a near miss between a Glasgow-bound passenger aircraft and a military jet.
