The first thing I thought – probably the first thing anyone thinks in that position – is that it

“The first thing I thought – probably the first thing anyone thinks in that position – is that it could be all over for me,” Petrov said yesterday. “But I now hope I will recover as soon as possible.”I knew something was wrong straight away and started screaming, because I looked down at my leg and it was pointing the wrong way It is so hard to take at the moment. Things were going so well for me and my team.”Vega, who won a League Cup medal in England with Tottenham Hotspur in 1999, said: “It was very quiet in the dressing-room at training. We are not thinking too much about the Kilmarnock game at the moment, though we know it will be very tough.

Stilian did so much to get us to the final and we have to win it for him.”Celtic are the League Cup holders, having beaten Aberdeen 2-0 a year ago, and have won the trophy 11 times. Kilmarnock are making their fourth appearance in the final but have yet to win the competition. It is the first meeting between the two sides at the ultimate stage.That fact does not appear to deter their manager, Bobby Williamson. He said: “We won the Scottish Cup in 1997 but that was at Ibrox Stadium, and I think everyone wants to collect a trophy at the national stadium as well.”People say this competition has been devalued and that because it no longer carries a European place for the winners that we shouldn’t bother playing for it. But 40 years ago, there no European places on offer either, just trophies. There are only three pieces of silverware in Scotland and we want this one.”. A scintillating back nine by Seve Ballesteros took the five-times major champion to within three strokes of the Madeira Island Open lead here yesterday as he made his first cut since last September.

A scintillating back nine by Seve Ballesteros took the five-times major champion to within three strokes of the Madeira Island Open lead here yesterday as he made his first cut since last September.
Ballesteros charged back in a four-under-par 32 to card a 68 and a two-round total of 139, five strokes below par and just three adrift of the early leaders, his fellow Spaniard Jose Manuel Lara, Britain’s Andrew Oldcorn and the Irishman Des Smyth.After an erratic run to the turn, when two birdies were cancelled out by two bogeys, Ballesteros began to sink the sort of putts that have eluded him for some time.”They were not long putts, but bread-and-butter putts, and that makes the round,” said Ballesteros. “I’m happy I’ve shot 68 because that hasn’t happened lately, but I still need to get better.”It is 43-year-old Ballesteros’s first round in the 60s since last year’s British Open, when his scores of 78 followed by 69 at St Andrews saw him miss the cut by three shots. He has failed to make 29 of his last 41 cuts and missed six in a row before this tournament.Massimo Scarpa of Italy discovered the sort of form which earned him a maiden European Tour title last year when he surged to within a stroke of the lead. But the 30-year-old Venetian, who won the West of Ireland Open last year, was left wondering if anyone will get to hear about it back home.”The Italian media are not interested in golf – only football,” said Scarpa ruefully after posting a 68. “There was pretty well nothing said last year when I had my first win, nobody spoke to me from the Italian press.”But it came as no surprise, even if it is disappointing. If Costantino Rocca cannot stir them into writing about him when he has played in three Ryder Cups and in a play-off for the British Open, what chance have I got?”Scarpa is keen to gain some consistency after fluctuating form following his debut win and move on to bigger things.
