Meanwhile, police and customs officers across Europe are hunting for a Scottish smuggler so prolific, he's known as 'El Cig.' And in sport; Hearts boss John McGlynn today received a double boost with news that goalkeeper Jamie MacDonald and captain Marius Zaliukas are in line to face Liverpool in their mouth-watering Europa League clash tomorrow night. New signing Peter Enckleman was on standby to make his debut between the sticks, but MacDonald's partner finally gave birth to their overdue baby this afternoon, making him likely to play.
