Ian Murray says Raith Rovers sacking ‘still doesn’t make sense’
Murray explained he told Rovers chief executive Andrew Barrowman he was “not going to sit here and beg for my job”.
“I felt I had enough credit in the bank to at least have had a conversation before a decision was made where we could maybe sit down around a table, shake hands even and walk away,” he added.
“But to do it over the phone I felt wasn’t right. You obviously try and evaluate the reasons that they gave, which still don’t make any sense to me.”
Murray has been one of the names linked with the vacant St Johnstone job following the sacking of Craig Levein.
“I’m like any manager, I am open to any offer,” Murray said.
“It’s sad when someone loses their job but that’s the nature of the business that we are in. Unfortunately, you are always waiting for someone to leave and you might have an opportunity.
“There will be more when the domino effect kicks in, which I probably started this season. You have to be ready and I am ready. I didn’t need a rest. I’ve had my rest in the summer, so it wasn’t like I needed to recharge my batteries.
“I have got a lot coming up in the next couple of weeks, which is really, really good – all football related – so I’m really looking forward to all of that. But if a job comes up before that then fantastic.”
Meanwhile, Falkirk manager John McGlynn said “it’s a compliment for all the good work that’s been getting done” to also be linked with St Johnstone after his side’s 43-game unbeaten league run took his side to the League 1 title and an early lead in the Championship.
“I think myself and [assistant] Paul Smith did a really good job at Raith Rovers to get them out of League 1 and then finish third in our first season in the Championship, in a league that contained Hearts and Dundee, and then fifth in our last season,” he said.
“And we’ve come in here and, within two and a bit seasons, we are where we are now. It’s nice to be linked with it, but I’m very comfortable and very happy where I am.”

Chicago mayor declares Belal Muhammad Day to honor UFC champion
At first, it was “Remember the Name.” Now, it’s “Remember the Date.”
UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad has been honored by his hometown city of Chicago with a day in his name. Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson proclaimed Sept. 20 as Belal Muhammad Day during a ceremony Friday at Harold Washington Library Center.
“Proud to congratulate UFC Champion @bullyb170! First Palestinian-American (and @chipubschools grad) from the South Side of Chicago to win the title,” Johnson wrote on Instagram Stories.
“REMEMBER THE DATE Honored and blessed Chicago we got our own day …love my city,” Muhammad wrote on Instagram.
The honor for Muhammad comes 55 days after becoming the UFC welterweight champion by defeating Leon Edwards in the UFC 304 main event.
The fight was a rematch from their first meeting in March 2021, which ended in a no contest due to a second-round eye poke that prevented Muhammad from continuing. After winning five more fights against the best competition available, Muhammad finally got his title opportunity and made the most of it by winning a dominant unanimous decision.
Muhammad’s first title defense has not yet been scheduled, but since his victory, he’s been enjoying the accomplishment by sharing the moment with his community.

Nottingham Forest: Evangelos Marinakis: wants 50,000-seat City Ground
Nottingham Forest are hoping to one day turn the City Ground into a 50,000-seat stadium, says Reds owner Evangelos Marinakis.
The expansion would go beyond Forest’s existing plans to increase the ground’s capacity from about 30,000 to 42,000 through the rebuilding of the Peter Taylor Stand and extension of the Bridgford Stand.
Those plans and Forest’s future on the banks of the River Trent were in jeopardy when negotiations between Nottingham City Council – which owns the land where the stadium stands – and the club collapsed over increased rent demands earlier this year.
A deal to sell the land to the Premier League club, which was agreed in July, appears to have secured the Reds’ future at their home for 126 years.
“What we need to do is have a bigger stadium,” Marinakis told BBC East Midlands Today.
“We have a lot of supporters and a huge waiting list for season tickets and I’m sure a 50,000-seat stadium will be full watching our team and our passion.”

UFC 308 poster released featuring Ilia Topuria vs. Max Holloway title clash, return of Khamzat Chimaev
Ilia Topuria faces off with a legend this October.
The official fight poster has been released for UFC 308, which takes place Oct. 26 in Abu Dhabi. In the main event, Topuria puts his featherweight title on the line for the first time when he defends against “BMF” champion Max Holloway.
See the poster below.

The undefeated Topuria won the 145-pound title with a thudding knockout of Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 298 this past February. He became the first fighter to defeat Volkanovski in a featherweight bout and his profile has continued to soar in his dual homes of Spain and Georgia.
Holloway, a former featherweight titleholder, added the BMF belt to his collection at UFC 300 after flattening fellow fan favorite Justin Gaethje. He has won three straight fights since losing a trilogy bout to Volkanovski.
In the UFC 308 co-main event, former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker takes on the undefeated Khamzat Chimaev. Whittaker aims for another shot at gold, while Chimaev looks to cement himself as the No. 1 contender despite fighting just four times in the past three years.
