Rangers manager Ally McCoist is looking for about £400,000 if he is to leave immediately, rather than work his 12-month notice period. McCoist will meet the Rangers board on Wednesday, with Rangers seeking an "amicable solution". But with the Ibrox outfit still in dire financial straits, finding such a sum may be difficult.

Fire crews rescued a dog which fell through ice while chasing a duck across a frozen pond in Arbroath.

Murray Lockhart caught the rescue on video.

John from Kirkcaldy: There is more to Ally McCoist's actions than meets the eye. The man has simply had enough and it may be the case that he is having to make a stand. Nobody would have put up with this situation and, whilst results on the pitch are poor, Rangers fans must never forget he kept our club together. Despite this media obsession with his salary he did previously work for nothing, unlike others who have bled the club dry.

After several attempts, the woman managed to descend and raise the alarm.

But because she had no map to allow her to give rescuers a grid reference, it was two days after the accident before Mr Paterson's body was found.

The SNP will not lend its support to any party that favours Trident renewal if there is a hung parliament after the UK general election next year.

The party's leader and Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has been laying out her key demands in the event of the SNP being asked to do a deal.

She ruled out any electoral pact with the Tories, but hinted she could reach agreement with Labour.

She also repeated calls for the SNP to be included in pre-election TV debates.

Scotland manager Gordon Strachan has expressed sympathy for Ally McCoist.

Rangers confirmed earlier today that McCoist has resigned and is serving a 12-month notice period.

"I feel for him because over the last two years he's been speaking about Rangers Football Club, the financial state of it, who's the chairman, who's not the chairman, and the only time you actually speak to him about football is when they get beat," said Strachan.

"I do feel for every football manager, but it's not going to change."

John: Jim Murphy is well in with Westminster Labour - warts and all - and they will be very happy to see this Labour right winger dictate policy for Scotland.
