MOTORISTS in a Scottish city are set to see a rise in parking fees in months as council budgets were agreed

Charges for multi-storey parking, off-street surface car parking, on-street pay and display parking will be increased from April.
Drivers across the city should expect to see a rise in the cost of some monthly tickets and parking permits.

BARRY FERGUSON won 15 trophies as a Rangers player.
But some of the stars currently at Ibrox won’t pay much attention to that, according to one of the club’s cult heroes.
Andy Halliday grew up supporting the Light Blues and was on their books as a youth player when Ferguson was in his pomp.
He later came back to the club in 2015 and played for his boyhood team for five years.
Before that, incidentally, he was coached by Ferguson when the former Gers skipper was placed in caretaker charge of Blackpool.
Halliday has given an insight into what Ferguson will bring to Rangers after the 47-year-old was appointed head coach until the end of the season.
The Motherwell star reckons Ferguson’s long line of achievements as a player won’t have too much of an impact on the current squad at Ibrox.
Halliday insists the former club captain’s record of success might not influence what is a multi-national group of players and that giving the team an identity both on and off the park is more important.
Speaking on Clyde 1’s Superscoreboard, Halliday said: “I think it can make a difference. It can make a small difference.
“But what’s more important is your identity as a group, your style on the pitch and what you’re putting in on the training ground every day.
“I’ve worked with Barry Ferguson, he was my manager at Blackpool and what I will say is he will certainly put standards on these players every single day which is extremely important.
“Equally as important is your dressing room. When I was a younger player growing up, the manager was in control of a whole lot whether that be the dressing room, fine systems, whatever it may be.
“Now, especially over the last five or ten years, that’s player policed. The standards are driven by your dressing room.
“So yes he can come in and put standards on your training pith but it’s got to be within your team as well.
“We had people saying that when Michael Beale left and Rangers appointed Alex Rae that he knew what it was like, but he just lost his job as well.”
