Scotland can now reveal that the man who killed Paul and another co-

worker was suffering from mental health problems to the extent their

�500 million employing armed security contract as. Instead of

Two Scotland at 9 o'clock. Pretty awesome. Paul Lawrie's

summing up of Europe's victory in the Ryder Cup. The Aberdeen golfer

turned out one of the best performances of his career to play

his part in snatching victory from the jaws of defeat in Chicago to

retain one of the most pretigious prizes in the sport. And what

better handover to Gleneagles which will host the competition in two

years time. The decisive blow in an incredible

piece of sporting theatre. In front of a disbelieving Chicago crowd,

Europe complete a remarkable comeback. Paul Lawrie, flying the

flag for Scotland was part of the early charge, setting the scene for

a Ryder Cup victory. It was an achievement which demanded a party,

and that the celebrations had a decidedly Scott is a theme as they

handed over -- a decidedly Scottish appeal as they handed over the

Ryder Cup to Scotland. After the Olympics and the World Cup, this is

the biggest watch a dent in the planet. -- watched event on the

planet. You can feel the atmosphere, it is going to be massive, huge, as

they say in America, awesome. two years' time, this is where it

will begin, the centenary course at Gleneagles, designed by Jack

Nicklaus. Organisers know they have a tough act to follow. One has to

construct a small town for people to come and visit and enjoy a, and

look after themselves. It is a huge undertaking, and we have a sense of

the scale of what we have to do. According to the Scottish

government, that effort could be worth upwards of �100 million. It

is a strong draw a golfing tourists. We thought we were taking Dales, --

we were taking Gleneagles, it was unbelievable. We did not know that

Europe is going to win, playing here is unbelievable. The backdrop

is in place, now comes the hard bit for Gleneagles, producing a

spectacle to rival that of this weekend.

You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. Still to come on the

programme: The school dinners blogger Martha Payne is in Malawi,

meeting some of the children she's helped through her website. And

we're with the archaeologists on a site of huge national significance,

in the Borders. And in sport Aiden McGeady tells us

about his mixed emotions as he prepares to line up for Spartak

Moscow against Celtic in the Champions League. And we look back

at how Scotland's Paul Lawrie played his part in helping Europe

stage that remarkable Ryder Cup comeback.

More than 350 jobs are to go across Scotland following the collapse of

the JJB chain of sports shops. Our business and economy editor Douglas

Fraser, jobs going across the UK but how big a blow is this up here?

It is a big blow, a big company. Right across the UK we learnt that

2,200 people have lost their jobs. There were 26 stores in Scotland

that have closed. 367 people, they have lost their jobs. There are

some people helping with the wind down, so that number will crawl up.

One of their rivals has bought 20 stores in the UK, only four of them

in Scotland will be continued. That will sustain 60 jobs. The impact is

a disproportionate, partly because of the link with Rangers. The

Sports Division was at the core of the building up a -- of a big

company. Do we know what went wrong? They got to be a, they got

too much in debt. They did not keep their online market share. There

has been a downturn in the economy, less cash coming in. Retail

analysts are saying this is not a one-off. Those who want to survive

are going to have to shed some of their high street shops if they

want to get through this. A Police Constable who was accused

of assaulting a prisoner at a police station in Saltcoats has

been found not guilty. PC Peter Cullen had been accused of

repeatedly knee'ing the prisoner in the head to his injury and

permanent disfigurement, but he was aquitted today at Kilmarnock

Sherrif court. PC Cullen, making no comment as he

left court. The court heard that he needed a prisoner in the head, but

in self-defence. The policeman told the court it was in self-defence,

because he thought the prisoner was going to bite him, and he was

worried about hepatitis and HIV. The jury came back, the eight women

and seven men found him a not guilty by majority verdict. He

nodded in the dock as the verdict was read out. The judge said to him

that he had been found not guilty, and that they hope they could put

this behind him. The man was taken to hospital for treatment, the

Defence denied it was caused by a PC Cullen. It is pathetic, he

should have gone to jail. defence counsel suggested that

Peter Carlin had suffered enough because of a witch hunt.

Strathclyde Police said their report would be presented to the

Chief Constable. The taskforce fighting to save the

threatened Halls of Broxburn food processing plant has met the

company's board at its Dutch HQ in Eindhoven. A consultation period

announced by the company on the future of the West Lothian site

comes to an end on Wednesday. The Finance Secretary, John Swinney,

says the meeting gave the taskforce a further opportunity to set out

support available for the site. 1,700 jobs are at risk. A look now

at what else has been happening across the country this Monday.

Youth hostelling may be closed indefinitely. Mounting bills have

soared to around �6 million. Europe's bilious a military

exercise has begun off the coast of Scotland. The operation involves a

numerous jets, and an international flotilla of warships, and for the

next 11 days a multinational force will train but combined operations.

The charitable trust which owns the apple -- which owns an estate has

rejected criticism of their plans. The major decisions are taken by

the trust, there is no doubt about that, we can to our broadband, we

can fight for our doctor services, but we can't do anything and with

the land. A Scottish government fund dealing with wind farm

applications has been described as a dropper the ocean. The �300,000

fund has not been another according to a Scottish councillor. A new

helpline for people with back pain has been launched by a -- the NHS.

It will act as a first port of call. Firefighters were called out to

rescue a man whose head was stuck in a public litter bin in Aberdeen,

it is not known how or why he got into the predicament, but he was

not injured. There are more stories from your area, and the latest news

on the website. The Argyll school girl - whose blog

about her school dinners - turned her into an internet sensation is

in Malawi. Martha Payne's blog has now raised more than 100 thousand

pounds for a charity providing food for children in Africa, and she's

visiting to find out how that money is being spent. From Malawi, Laura

This is what nine-year-old Martha Payne travelled over 5,000 miles to

do. She was shy at first, showing family photographs and in return

Ben took her to his school. Hello. The school is run by a Scottish

charity, as well as lessons, the children are fed twice a day. Word

about a visit spread and soon there were more children to play with.

The clothes were dirty, full of holes, the kids were smiling,

wonderful. Holmes was small and dark, no lighting, wood fires.

Children sleeping on the floor in a thin blanket. And yet they get up

every day, do their hard work, get firework and they go to school

which is a good walk away. And so it is a different existence. It was

an eye-opener for my children. What is it like making new friends? Fun.

Then, time for Ben and his brother to do their chores. Children in

Malawi carry water this way from the age of three. Martha was

determined to give it a go. Was it fun? Yes. Putting water in the not

carrying it! Martha and her family are from Holyrood. This is where

they wanted to come. To see the effect is simple blog can have on

the lives of others. The old Rangers Football Club owed more

than �94 million in unpaid tax and penalties, according to its

administrators. In its final report to creditors, Duff and Phelps is

also claiming more than three million pounds in fees. Creditors

have until the 12th of October to vote on the report. At the end of

the administration period, the old Rangers will be placed in the hands

of liquidators. Archaeologists have starting

excavating a field in a Borders village where they believe an

important mediaeval building was sited. The site is thought to be of

huge national significance. Our reporter Cameron Buttle was there

when the digging began. For centuries, Borderers have

farmed this field, for generations there have been rumours there was

once something hugely significant on this site. Experts believe they

may have found it. Using the very latest technology, they have been

able to look under the ground and they have seen the foundations of a

building that dates back more than a 1000 years. I think it's a hugely

significant. We are looking at effectively a bishop's palace on

top of the hill with some subsidiary buildings down below.

Bishops of Glasgow had this place for two to 300 years in the early

medieval period. A very exciting find. Yes, very exciting. We knew

it was here but after the geophysics we knew it was special.

With each bucket load of turf lifted, excitement grows. As well

as a bishop's palace, it was also rumoured to be a stronghold of the

Knights Templar. The signs are this field was once at the centre of

medieval religion and politics. When we did a geophysical survey,

we saw a very large structure, dead straight lines at right angles. It

seems to be a large stone-built structure and if we are talking

about a medieval building, no medieval building would be built of

stone of that size unless it was of considerable high-status. The

possibility it is a medieval palace is good but we will not know until

we get down into it. For the experts, this could be a site of

national significance. For the locals, it is also a great chance

to sniff around and seek who the neighbours used to be. The The

president of the Scottish Football Association Campbell Ogilvie has

admitted that he hasn't been able to do his job properly for the past

six months. Ogilvie's had to take a back seat in discussions over

Rangers - because of his previous connection with the club. For more

on all this let's cross to our reporter Alasdair Lamont, who's at

Hampden. Al, this seems to be a pretty frank admission from the

president. Yes, it is. Let me put in context.

Ogle the was a previous secretary and company director at Rangers

Park during the time they operated employee benefit trust, a tax

avoidance scheme of which he himself was the beneficiary to the

tune of �95,000. As a result, he has not been involved in any of the

discussions over the club's future. During the talks, the club were

asked to accept the stripping of titles and a place for the Scottish

First Division. He says his understanding is is because Green

asked for potential scenarios and sanctions to be presented but the

President has spoken of his frustration at not being able to

address the issue more fully. am blunt, I believe the last six

months, I have not been doing my job properly because they could not

take part in the debate and its bothered me. There was no

alternative to that. And now we are at where we are at and I would like

to sit down and speak to Charles Green.

Campbell Ogilvie has stated his conscience is clear in terms of his

use of the tax avoidance. A tribunal give its verdict this

month, I asked Campbell it will be a big decision is against Rangers

and will it make his position untenable. You have to remember at

the time they were clearly legal so I cannot... Let's see what comes

out of it. Further down the line, we will have to wait and see and if

there is a feeling it is causing an issue, I would discuss that with

the association. The verdict is due this month. How

that affects Campbell Ogilvie will be just a small part of the fall-

out. Very interesting stuff. Now, the

former Celtic winger Aiden McGeady admits that he'll have mixed

emotions facing his old club in the Champions League. The winger now

plays for Spartak Moscow, who host Celtic tomorrow evening. Celtic

overcame Spartak five years ago to reach the group stages of the

Champions League and McGeady was part of that Celtic team. Spartak

signed the Irish international in 2010 for �9.5 million.

Playing at time, the record has not been good at home. With the fans'

backing, the chance is Celtic are not used at playing on the pitch.

It will be tricky game for Celtic. It is going to be an exciting game.

Well, as we heard earlier in the programme, it was a great comeback

from Europe to win the Ryder Cup against the USA - and Scotland's

Paul Lawrie more than played his part. The Aberdonian was the only

Scot in Jose Marie Olazabel's team. And Lawrie played a crucial role in

He is a marvellous chipper. Paul Lawrie played a pivotal role. He

has seen a return to form, this effort really got the juices

flowing. You a little gem. I've never seen him so excited. He was

part of the European team which lost to Lee essay in Brooklyn in

1999. His opponent this time Snedeker could not cope with the

man from Aberdeen. The second point of the final day, five and three as

Europe completed a comeback. A lot better than 99. That was pretty

tough. We were 10-6 ahead. The American team played fantastic in

the singles. They deservedly won. Today, especially at my age, to be

part of this team and to come back from 10-6 behind American soil does

not get any better. A great day for Europe and a great day for Paul

Lawrie. The question now is can the 43-year-old form part of the Ryder

Cup team for Gleneagles. Well done, Europe. That was a great

night. A grey day for most of us. Time to discover how grey it's

going to be tomorrow. Stav Lots of showers in the forecast. You will

A lot of showers around this evening and they are merging

together to produce longer spells. -- showers. A brisk south-westerly

breeze and the weather front is enhancing the showers to produce

heavy ones across Argyll and the Highlands. Some will work into

central areas. A showery first part of the night, as negated the second

part of the night, eastern and central areas will turn drive with

clear spells. It stays showery. Where we have clear spells, a

northern half of the country. The band of rain spreads up to the

up. Temperatures around 12 or 13. To the north, it looks lovely

through Fife and Inverness and much of the Moray Firth area. Showers in

the north and for the north-west of the Highlands. Into evening, the

band of rain news Northwood, Harry burst north of the central belt.

Eventually, it reaches the north by darkness. Into Wednesday, we will

Now, a summary. Millions of workers in the private sector will be

automatically enrolled into a new pension scheme which will change

the way they save for retirement. The new plan means that from today

employees will see money taken out of their pay packets.

Paul McGuigan was working as a private security contractor in Iraq

when he was shot dead by a colleague. BBC Scotland has learnt

that the man who killed Paul and another co-worker was suffering

from mental health problems. Their company, G4S, had been sent

warnings not to employ him. Paul McGuigan's family want G4S to be

charged with corporate manslaughter. The Ryder Cup golf tournament has

been handed over to Scotland. The tournament is expected to attract a

quarter of a million spectators to Gleneagles.
