What the Scottish papers say

The Daily Record and Scottish Sun report that Glasgow Airport terror attack hero John Smeaton is fighting for his life in hospital after suffering a severe asthma attack.

The Herald leads with a story that George W Bush has been trying to reassure people that the US Government has a plan to mend his country's stricken financial system, spooked by the fear of global recession.

The Scotsman reports that in five "catastrophic" days the life savings and retirement dreams of tens of millions of the baby boom post-war generation plunged and rose on epic waves of fear and panic.

The Press and Journal says the world stock markets went into freefall as recession fears and bank worries brought panic selling which saw the Footsie 100 index suffer its worst week since the Black Monday crash of 1987.

The Scottish Daily Express reports that leaders of the world's most powerful countries were gathering for a summit to save the global economy.

The Scottish Daily Mail also reports on the "worst week ever" for the FTSE 100.
