Scott McKenna is convinced manager Steve Clarke will ensure Scotland keep cool heads in Thursday's Euro 2020 play-off final in Serbia.

Victory for the visitors in Belgrade would mean qualification for a major finals for the first time since 1998.

McKenna was just one when Scotland played at the France World Cup 22 years ago.

"It's massive, but we can't get too caught up in it all," said the Nottingham Forest defender.

"The manager is very calm, so he won't let us get too emotionally involved.

"Of course there is pressure. It's an opportunity we've not had for a good number of years but we're still early in the week and we're quite relaxed."

The family of a man famed for his football stadium pies have been "overwhelmed" by tributes following his death at the age of 81.

Brian Murdoch, whose family business has fed fans at Kidderminster Harriers for nearly 60 years, died on Saturday, the club said.

The lifelong Harriers fan was known for his"incomparable character and warmth", a club spokesman said.

His pies regularly topped charts as the most expensive pie in British football.

But some fans defended the cost, saying they were a tasty meal made from fresh ingredients.

Club spokesman Matty Paddock said the Harriers Pies and Aggborough Soup had a "cult following in football".

Spix's macaw (Cyanopsitta spixii), also known as the little blue macaw, was a macaw native to Brazil. It is a member of tribe Arini in the subfamily Arinae (Neotropical parrots), part of the family Psittacidae (the true parrots). It was first described by German naturalist Georg Marcgrave, when he was working in the State of Pernambuco, Brazil in 1638 and it is named for German naturalist Johann Baptist von Spix, who collected a specimen in 1819 on the bank of the Rio São Francisco in northeast Bahia in Brazil.

The IUCN regard the Spix's macaw as extinct in the wild. Its last known stronghold in the wild was in northeastern Bahia, Brazil and sightings are very rare. After a 2000 sighting of a male bird, the next and last sighting was in 2016. The species is now maintained through a captive breeding program at several conservation organizations under the aegis of the Brazilian government. It is listed on CITES Appendix I, which makes trade illegal except for legitimate conservation, scientific or educational purposes.

Washington is unlikely to have seen its last Asian giant hornets, the state's agricultural department has said, after scientists found 200 queens in one nest.

The nest - the first in the US - of the so-called murder hornets was captured with a vacuum from a tree in October.

Researchers believe more queens - which are responsible for establishing colonies - could remain at large.

But they are confident the population can be brought under control.

Asian giant hornets are an invasive species in the Pacific North-West. They target honeybees, which pollinate crops. The insect, which is native to Japan and South Korea, can slaughter a bee colony in a matter of hours.

They can also spit venom and inflict numerous powerful stings on humans.

In the Northern Hemisphere, winter generally begins on December 21 or 22. This is the winter solstice, the day of the year with the shortest period of daylight. Summer begins on June 20 or 21, the summer solstice, which has the most daylight of any day in the year. Spring and fall, or autumn, begin on equinoxes, days that have equal amounts of daylight and darkness. The vernal, or spring, equinox falls on March 20 or 21, and the autumnal equinox is on September 22 or 23.

The seasons in the Northern Hemisphere are the opposite of those in the Southern Hemisphere. This means that in Argentina and Australia, winter begins in June. The winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere is June 20 or 21, while the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, is December 21 or 22.
