IRELAND U19 cap Philip Roberts has dropped down to the Scottish First Division and joined Falkirk in a bid to revive his career.

The former Arsenal man spent last season on loan with SPL side Inverness Caledonian Thistle but was a free agent over the summer and now Falkirk have added the forward to their squad for the new season, handing him a debut on Saturday in the Scottish League Cup.

GERMANS WIN EUROS

Germany won the women's European Championships for a sixth consecutive time as Norway saw two penalties saved and another goal ruled out for offside in a narrow defeat in Solna, Sweden.

Anja Mittag got the goal for Germany when she capped a fine passing move in the 49th minute – the game's one true moment of magic ultimately deciding it – but goalkeeper and captain Nadine Angerer was the hero as she saved a penalty in either half.

Norway knew it was not to be their day when they then saw Ada Hegerberg's strike ruled offside midway through the second half.
