Gray insists dramatic late equaliser can give his struggling Hibs team the confidence to climb Premiership table Click here to visit the Scotland home page for the latest news and sport By STEPHEN HALLIDAY Published: 23:30, 26 November 2024 | Updated: 23:34, 26 November 2024 e-mail View comments David Gray hailed the character of his Hibs side after Rocky Bushiri salvaged a late point in a thriller that ended with three goals in stoppage time. And Gray insisted the 3-3 draw with Aberdeen can be a launchpad to lift his side away from the bottom of the league. Joe Newell had given Hibs a first half lead only for Jamie McGrath and Nicky Devlin to turn the match on its head. But Nicky Cadden made it 2-2 in the second minute of stoppage time before Ester Sokler scored what looked like a winner for the Dons in the 95th minute. Bushiri then levelled a minute later in dramatic scenes at Easter Road. ‘It’s quite hard to explain exactly how I’m feeling,’ said Gray. ‘The players can take immense credit. ‘Their attitude and character was tested greatly and they responded well. We deserved to win on chances created. Hibs boss David Gray believes the result can give his team the confidence to move up the table Rocky Bushiri is on hand to force home the equalising goal on an astonishing evening The Hibs goalscorer is mobbed by delirious team-mates after his late heroics ‘We shot ourselves in the foot again at times. I’m not going to paper over the cracks and say it’s okay because we got a late equaliser. ‘It’s never been through a lack of effort. Confidence levels have been low but this can go a long way to helping that. ‘We need to look at the areas where we have let ourselves down again but the character the players have shown was good. ‘If we can keep putting on performances like that, it will turn around quickly. ‘It’s my responsibility to change it when this team is bottom of the league. The fans were 100 per cent behind the team tonight and they have to understand the positive impact that can have.’ Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin felt his players were punished for a lack of concentration after going 3-2 in front in the 95th minute. Aberdeen boss Thelin was left to reflect on dropping five league points in four days ‘It was an emotional game, a roller coaster,’ said the Swede. ‘We scored a great goal through Ester Sokler to make it 3-2 and there were a lot of emotions in the celebrations with the fans. ‘But the game isn’t over until it’s over. We knew what Hibs would do from the restart but collectively we didn’t deal with it. ‘Angry is the wrong word to use but we were all disappointed in the dressing room at conceding the equaliser that way. ‘We have to learn from it and there were positive things for us tonight, the spirit we showed after being 1-0 down at half-time and scoring three goals away from home.’ Share or comment on this article: Gray insists dramatic late equaliser can give his struggling Hibs team the confidence to climb Premiership table e-mail Add comment
Dutton’s had a great year, but 2025 will test his one great weakness
Rupert Murdoch's audacious bid to cement his eldest son's control over one of the world's most influential media empires has failed, a US report said Monday. The first family of news -- commanding a stable that includes Fox News, The Wall Street Journal and a host of British and Australian media -- had been the inspiration for the hit TV series "Succession." Like the fictional version, this real-life fight pitted the children of a powerful patriarch against each other for who should be the face and the voice of the empire after the old man dies. Murdoch, now 93, had long intended that his children inherit the empire, and jointly decide its direction. The eldest daughter, Prudence, has had little involvement in the family business, but at various times the other three -- Lachlan, James and Elisabeth -- have all been considered as successors. But in recent years Murdoch senior had reportedly grown concerned that Fox News -- the crown jewels of the collection -- might drift away from its lucrative right-wing moorings after his death, to reflect the more centrist views of James and Elisabeth. He had therefore sought to designate Lachlan -- who currently heads Fox News and News Corp -- as the controlling player in the wider business. That had required rewriting the terms of an irrevocable trust that passed power to the four siblings jointly, stripping three of them of voting power, while allowing them to continue to benefit financially. Rupert Murdoch had argued that giving control to Lachlan -- who is understood to share his father's worldview -- was in the financial interests of the whole brood. The family intrigue played out behind closed doors in a Nevada courtroom, where Murdoch senior and his four children were understood to have given several days' evidence in September. In a decision filed at the weekend, probate commissioner Edmund J. Gorman Jr. said the father and son had acted in "bad faith" in trying to rewrite the rules, The New York Times reported, citing a copy of the sealed court document. The plan to alter the trust's structure was a "carefully crafted charade" to "permanently cement Lachlan Murdoch's executive roles." "The effort was an attempt to stack the deck in Lachlan Murdoch's favor after Rupert Murdoch's passing so that his succession would be immutable," the Times cited the ruling as saying. "The play might have worked; but an evidentiary hearing, like a showdown in a game of poker, is where gamesmanship collides with the facts and at its conclusion, all the bluffs are called and the cards lie face up. "The court, after considering the facts of this case in the light of the law, sees the cards for what they are and concludes this raw deal will not, over the signature of this probate commissioner, prevail." Murdoch's lawyer, Adam Streisand, did not immediately reply to an AFP request for comment. The ruling is not final, and must now be ratified or rejected by a district judge. That ruling could be challenged, perhaps provoking another round of legal arguments. The complicated structure of the irrevocable trust reflects the colourful familial relationships that shaped Rupert Murdoch's life as he built the multibillion-dollar empire. The trust was reported to have been the result of a deal agreed with his second wife -- mother of Lachlan, Elisabeth and James -- who wanted to ensure her offspring would not be disenfranchised by children Murdoch had with his third wife, Wendi Deng. The Murdoch empire has transformed tabloid newspapers, cable TV and satellite broadcasting over the last few decades while facing accusations of stoking populism across the English-speaking world. Brexit in Britain and the rise of Donald Trump in the United States are credited at least partly to Murdoch and his outlets. hg/nroThe developers behind the refurbishment and expansion of the Fort Worth Public Market building have added another local office building to their portfolio. Fort Worth-based real estate developer Wilks Development has acquired One Ridgmar Centre, a 10-story, 177,199-square-foot Class-A office tower at 6500 West Freeway. Wilks Development plans to invest $1 million in renovations, with an additional $8 million slated for improvements during the next five years. Initial improvements will focus on the roof and HVAC systems, followed by updates to the common areas. “We are enthusiastic about adding One Ridgmar to our portfolio and bringing significant upgrades and enhancements that will ensure it meets the evolving needs of current and future tenants,” Kyle Wilks, president and CEO of Wilks Development, said in a statement. The property is currently at 68% occupancy, which is below the average for office buildings in Fort Worth. At closing, Wilks Development secured more than 30,000 square feet of new leases. Among the new tenants is Fort Worth-based Equify Financial LLC, a national equipment lender serving the construction, energy and transportation industries. “While the building is currently below the city’s average occupancy, we have a proven track record of successfully revitalizing and leasing properties,” Wilks said.

BROOKINGS, S.D. — A recent semi-truck collision Nov. 25 with a bull elk south of Brookings has drawn attention to the risks of wildlife on South Dakota roadways. The incident occurred along Interstate 29 when a semi-truck struck a bull elk, breaking its legs. Although the truck driver was unharmed, the elk sustained serious injuries, and the decision was made to put the animal down. ADVERTISEMENT Nick Harrington, communications manager for South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks, said the accident serves as a reminder of the potential hazards that wildlife pose on roads, especially during this time of year. “It’s certainly not something you see every day, especially with elk, but it’s not uncommon either,” Harrington said. “When you get prairie elk moving around, it can be a situation where animals end up on the road.” Harrington noted that the fall rutting season, which involves the breeding activity of many wildlife species, increases animal movement. For elk, the rut is a time of heightened activity, which makes it more likely for them to wander onto roadways. While elk are not commonly seen in eastern South Dakota, they do roam across the prairies and wooded areas, particularly in more rural settings. “This is the time of the year that the rut is going on. So you're naturally going to see a lot of movement in animals,” Harrington said. “This is really when you see kind of that peak activity as they both rut and kind of get prepping for winter, essentially. So it's always important to be on the look out as motorists.” According to Harrington, the bull elk will be tested for Chronic Wasting Disease, a fatal neurological disorder that affects members of the cervid family, including elk and deer. CWD is caused by prions, which cause degeneration in the brain and are ultimately fatal to the animal. While it does not affect humans or livestock, authorities take precautions, especially when handling or donating wild game meat. “It's essentially a brain disease. When it infects an animal, the animal might seem perfectly healthy, and as the disease progresses, it's ultimately going to be fatal for that animal,” Harrington said. “It wouldn't impact cattle or anything like that. Studies really indicate that it wouldn’t cross the species boundary into humans. But, we just always want to be careful, especially when you're donating meat like that.” Harrington said that if testing turns out negative, the bull elk meat will be donated to South Dakota Sportsmen Against Hunger, a non-profit group that facilitates the donation of wild game meat to South Dakota families in need. ADVERTISEMENT “It'll be a good use of a bad situation,” Harrington said. Although collisions with elk are rare, wildlife-related accidents are more common during the fall months. Harrington said it’s important to slow down and watch for animal activity during these months. “I would always say, especially this time of year when you're driving, be careful,” Harrington said. “Always be on the lookout when you're driving, especially in the mornings and evenings.”
