The Highland Council has confirmed the recent signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional State (Military) Administration in Ukraine.
The Memorandum acknowledges bonds of friendship between the two regions which will work together to explore economic co-operation and development, education, energy projects and tourism. Highlands and Islands Enterprise and the University of the Highlands and Islands will also be involved. While the Memorandum itself does not create legal or financial obligations, it provides a framework through which specific projects and activities may be developed in future.
In the weekend football, promotion and relegation issues may become clearer after this afternoon’s matches.
Ross County has a home game in the Championship against Greenock Morton which it needs to win with the hope that Airdrieonians fails to win its game against Ayr United. That combination of results would move County above Airdrie with just one match remaining next week.
In League One, a win for Inverness Caley Thistle in its away match against East Fife would ensure that it wins the league and secures automatic promotion to the Championship next season.
All the relevant games kick off at three o’clock this afternoon.
