A consortium aiming to take over Albion Rovers and rename the club Shamrock Rovers Coatbridge to 'tap into the town's Irish heritage' has called on the current Cliftonhill board to resign after overseeing the end of the club's 120-years in senior football.

Rovers were relegated from the SPFL last week after losing the Pyramid play-off final to Spartans and will now play in the Lowland League next season.

But it is a situation the 'Project Phoenix' consortium claim would never have happened had Rovers not rejected an initial takeover bid last summer.

The consortium still aspires to take control of Rovers and rebrand the club to reflect what it believes is the heritage, history and culture of the town's demographics, as part of a multi-million pound plan.

Novak Djokovic Courts Controversy With Kosovo 'Heart Of Serbia' Message

Erdogan's victory amid controversy: Understanding the reelection in Turkey

In his victory speech, the 69-year-old newly re-elected President Erdogan pledged to unite a country deeply divided. Claiming 52.1 per cent of the run-off vote, Erdogan emerged victorious yet again. His challenger, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, however, accused the President of deploying state machinery to his advantage, including the alleged denial of airtime on state television. Kilicdaroglu further claimed that Erdogan distributed money and gifts as campaign bribes. Gavin Lee of FRANCE24 delves into what prompted voters to support Erdogan once more in a thought-provoking conversation with Salim Cevik, an Associate at the Center for Applied Turkey Studies, housed within the German Institute for International and Security Affairs.
