TWO cities in Scotland have received high praise for their sports bars.
New research analysed the reviews of the themed boozers across the UK.
Sports bars kicked off in America, but have surged in popularity across the world.
They are now a common place for sports fans to get together with pals to watch the game.
Experts from sport and betting firm FIRST scoured TripAdvisor ratings and found which cities have the best of the bars.
And two Scottish cities made the top 10 list after getting a surge in four or five star ratings.
It was revealed the top Scottish city for sports bars is Glasgow.
The city is full of the boozers, including popular venues such as Walkabout, Grace’s, Alfie’s and the Granary.
Glasgow has 39 sports bars for fans to enjoy, which racked up 7.783 reviews.
And 80% of the feedback left received the two highest ratings on the platform.
The score was enough to secure Glasgow the third place spot.
Another city north of the border has been recognised jn the top of the sports bar league tables.
Edinburgh is home to some extremely popular boozers for sports fans to gather.
Scotland‘s capital is home to pubs like The Chanter, Footlights Bar and Grill and The Hanover Tap, which are favourites for punters to take in a game while enjoying a pint.
The city came eighth in the list due to its review ranking.
Of the 4,517 reviews, 77% received four of five stars.
But the top place went to a town south of the border.
Gosport in Hampshire got a score of 84% and has the most popular sports bars in the country.
Other areas in the list were Brighton, Birmingham, Bradford and Southhampton.
HERE is the top 10 list for sports bars in the UK, and the number of reviews with the highest ratings.
Ekaterina Boboleva, CEO of FIRST, has commented: “It is great to see such a diverse range of areas in the top ten, highlighting how sports can bring people together no matter where in the UK they are.
“From Gosport to Glasgow, these areas offer something for everyone.
“Whether you’re a local or a visitor, these areas provide the perfect setting to catch a game with friends or enjoy the energy of a packed sports bar.”
AN EMMERDALE star reveals her new career after being axed from the soap – and she also wants to join a rival show
The soap recently confirmed the fate of the popular character Leyla Harding after 17 years on the show.
Leyla, played by Roxy Shahidi, was revealed to be dead after the horror limo crash that shocked fans a few weeks back.
In heart breaking scenes, Leyla’s son Jacob ( Joe Warren-Plant) was working a shift in the hospital when a number of villagers were rushed in following the shocking crash.
Jacob was left panicked when he could not find her in any of the hospital wards.
It was then that Jacob finally discovered his mum’s lifeless body with a colleague informing him that Leyla was dead upon arrival.
Leyla died from “severe blood loss” after she was impaled in the stomach by ice during the deadly crash.
She only revealed the extent of her injuries when she informed Kerry Wyatt that she could not move before she began to lose consciousness.
Although Kerry managed to drag Leyla across the ice, she died soon after from the blood loss and traumatic injury.
But it wasn’t just soap fans that were shocked at Leyla’s death because Roxy was shocked too that Leyla was leaving the show.
In her only interview, Roxy, 41, told The Sun: “When I first found out, I was very shocked. I had been in the show for a long time and I wasn’t expecting this news.
“Emmerdale becomes a fabric of your existence to a huge degree.
“It’s not just about the joy of the work, it’s the joy of the people and community.
“There are times when you have a big story where you will spend more time with your work family than you do at home.”
But once she had had time to digest the news of her exit she quickly began to feel pleased the decision to go now had been taken out of her hands.
Speaking with Digital Spy about her future she said: “It was bittersweet. Getting the push was a mix of emotions.
“It was a sense of relief, because you think: ‘Now I’ve got to get out there and do some new things’.
“But it was also really sad because you love the character, you love the job, you love your friends. It feels like a family on the show.”
“I’ve started to do more and more yoga. I want to teach more, so I’ve set up a little business called Yoga Rox.
“I’m going to do corporate yoga with online subscriptions and I want to travel with the yoga too.
“I’m really excited about doing more podcasts with Matthew Wolfenden and maybe doing some presenting.
“I also write, so I want to do more writing. I want to keep acting, too.
“I just would like to do lots of different things, now that I’ve got the freedom to try my hand at new projects and just see what happens.
“I just want to go on a bit of an adventure and allow things to be unpredictable.”
But would the lovely Roxy do another soap again?
“Coronation Street would be good. I also wouldn’t mind doing a continuing drama – I’d love to maybe do Waterloo Road” she replied.
Emmerdale airs on week nights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
If there’s one character in Game of Thrones that was extremely toned down, it’s Euron Greyjoy. I expected to see a truly horrible and ruthless man that would actually send shivers down the spine, but no—all I got was a watered-down and pathetic version of Jack Sparrow that bordered as a comic relief rather than […]

HUNDREDS of Santander customers have been left unable to make payments due to an outage that started earlier this afternoon.
Over 600 customers have reported problems with the high street bank’s services on the outage-tracking website Downdetector.
Over 68% of the issues reported related to customers reporting that they are unable to make instant payments.
A further 17% report that they can’t make card payments either.
The outage comes just hours after the Treasury Committee released its findings on the scale of recent IT failures.
Banks are not obligated to provide compensation to customers for service disruptions in the same way telecom companies are.
However, if you have incurred additional costs directly as a result of a service issue, you may be entitled to reimbursement.
For example, if a bill payment fails to go through due to an outage and you are charged a late payment fee, you should be able to claim that money back.
Similarly, if your credit rating is impacted or you are penalised with late payment fees because a transaction could not be completed, it’s important to keep a record of these incidents.
Banks will generally assess claims on a case-by-case basis, taking into account individual circumstances.
However, if you’ve been impacted you should lodge a formal complaint.
To do this, contact your bank and provide a detailed record of all instances where you faced additional costs, charges, or fees as a direct result of the service disruption.
This could include photocopies of bank statements showing missed payments, receipts, invoices, or other evidence of expenses incurred.
For more specific guidance, you can visit your bank’s complaints page.
If you are unhappy with the compensation offered you have the option to escalate your complaint.
This can involve taking your case to the Financial Ombudsman Service, which offers an impartial review of disputes between customers and financial institutions.
The FOS can usually get involved 15 days after you first raised concerns with the bank.
For IT system outages at a bank, the FOS says the compensation depends on your situation and if you lost out as a result.
But if it thinks your bank has done something wrong and treated you unfairly, the FOS can ask it to put things right on your behalf.
It could include telling the bank to pay compensation to:
It can also tell the bank to take steps to ensure you’ve not lost out any other way – for example by telling it to correct your credit file.

SOME astronomical events we see often, like shooting stars, but these are only a fraction of the dazzling celestial wonders occurring over the vast expanse of time.
However, there are still four incredibly rare displays you can see in your lifetime.
The second-longest solar eclipse of the 21st century will take place on the 2nd of August, 2027.
Totality – when nearly all of the solar disk is obstructed by the Moon – will last around six minutes and 24 seconds.
The longest totality of the century was six minutes and 39 seconds on the 22nd of July, 2009, close to Japan’s Ishinomura-Kitaio Island.
No solar eclipse will be as long until the year 2114.
It will be visible from northern Africa – so start planning your summer 2027 trip soon.
The 99942 Apophis asteroid will brush past Earth at a safe but close distance of only 31,000 kilometers (19,600 miles) on the 13th of April, 2029.
The flyby, which will bring the giant space rock ten times closer than the Moon, is set to be visible to the naked eye against dark skies.
This hunk of celestial debris will be bigger than the Empire State Building.
Roughly two billion people from across Europe, Africa, and parts of Asia will be able to see it.
It will look like a bright star, moving quickly across the sky.
Apophis will be a magnitude 3.1 – which is what astronomers use to measure the brightness of cosmic objects.
That makes it much brighter than the North Star, also known as Polaris, which is the brightest star in the sky.
In November 2031, stargazers will be able to enjoy a spectacular version of the annual Leonid meteor shower.
After the Tempel-Tuttle meteor passes Earth in its 33-year orbit, it will leave behind a huge trail of debris.
This debris will result in a meteor storm of blazing shooting stars between 17 and 18 November, 2031.
This rare planetary alignment, dubbed a ‘Golden Conjunction’, occurs once every few hundred years.
And the next one will take place on the 8th of September, 2040 right after sunset.
Mars, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Jupiter will all become visible in the same small, 10-degree patch of sky.
It will be visible across the world – so you only need to go as far as your back garden for this one.
The biggest supermoon of the century is due to take place on the 6th of December, 2052.
The lunar disk will appear 14% bigger and 30% brighter than normal, as the Moon transitions to its closest point to Earth.
The Moon travels around Earth in an elliptical oval-shaped orbit.
This means that there are points where the Moon is closest to Earth (perigee), and its furthest away (apogee).
Our solar system is made up of nine planets with Earth the third closest to the Sun. But each planet has its own quirks, so find out more about them all...
