Battle begins over Scots sports centre

A total of six bidders will battle it out for the right to host Scotland's first national performance centre for sport, the Sunday Herald has learned.

Half a dozen local councils and other interested parties met Friday's deadline to submit Stage One bids to play a part in the scheme, which has been granted £25 million of Scottish Government funding to develop a state-of-the-art sports facility along the lines of the new St George's Park complex operated by the Football Association at Burton-upon-Trent.
