We werent brave getting out. Despite the possession stats, we didnt play the way we wanted to.Sundays game didnt affect us. They played Sunday too so there are no excuses that way. The semi-final was an emotionally draining game but its part of playing for a club like this.Its a demanding crowd because theyre used to success. The players have to recognise its an expectant crowd - and quite rightly. We have to respect that and learn from that tonight. The Ibrox support will always demand success says Warburotn We know what the crowd wants; theyre magnificent. If we can play our game and move the ball quickly well create chances but tonight we fell below our standards.St Johnstone boss Tommy Wright was delighted with his team as they moved into the European slots, but admitted there is a long way to go.It was a good start and an excellent performance, he said.

Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.

ATLANTA -- Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman will not play in the All-Star game after jamming his left thumb. General manager Frank Wren said Sunday that Freemans injury will keep him out of the game. Freeman jammed his left thumb on the first play of Saturday nights 5-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds. Shortstop Andrelton Simmons fielded Chris Heiseys grounder and threw slightly wide of first base, forcing Freeman to catch the ball in Heiseys path. Heisey hit Freemans glove and was out. "I guess my thumb was in the wrong place," Freeman said. "Its just one of those freak injuries I seem to run into every year." Freeman remained in the game. He wore a soft splint on his left hand and is not playing in Sundays game. He said there is "a little bit of tiny swelling" in the thumb. "I can still bend it and do everything," Freeman said. "Its not too bad, so Im just going to take a day off and see how it goes." Freeman made the All-Star roster by finishing ahead of Dodgers rookie Yasiel Puig on the fan vote. Freeman will still make the trip to New York for the All-Star game. Before the decision was made that Freeman will not play in the All-Star game, he said the priority is protecting his health for the NL East-leading Braves. "Ive got to look out for the best interests of this team, so Ive got to be available to play in the second half," Freeman said. "If I cant play in the All-Star game, were better off if Im able to play in the second half." Manager Fredi Gonzalez said Freeman can receive treatment for the injury while at the All-Star game. &quuot;I think he needs to go," Gonzalez said.dddddddddddd "... You never know when that chance will come again." Evan Gattis, who had been out since June 18 with a right oblique strain, was activated from the 15-day disabled list and is starting at first base. Gattis came off the DL after playing only two games in his injury rehabilitation stint with Triple-A Gwinnett. The original plan had been for Gattis to remain with Gwinnett through Sunday. "It was good," Gattis said of his rehab stint. "I felt good to square up the ball last night. That tells me Im ready." Gattis, whose primary position is catcher, has started 11 games in left field and only three games at first base. B.J. Upton, who left Friday nights game with a right adductor muscle strain, was placed on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Saturday. "Weve got a break coming up and I just need a little more time to get healthy," Upton said, adding his recovery "is not a thing thats going to happen immediately." Justin Upton also left Friday nights game with what was announced as a left calf strain. On Sunday, Gonzalez said team doctors concluded the injury was just a severe cramp. Gonzalez said Justin Upton would be available in an emergency situation Sunday. The Braves expect a third injured starting outfielder, Jason Heyward, to recover from his strained right hamstring without being placed on the disabled list. The Braves patchwork outfield of Jose Constanza, Reed Johnson and rookie Joey Terdoslavich combined for seven hits Saturday night and is starting again Sunday. ' ' '
