The Morning Score: Thursday

The Sparrow flies the nest, Cork and Galway name their teams for the weekend and the Scottish Open gets underway.

1. #RESIGNATION Clare senior hurling manager Ger ‘Sparrow’ Loughlin has this morning resigned his position according to local radio station Clare FM. We’ll have more soon.

2. #TRANSFERS Charlie Adam is expected to confirm his mooted switch to Anfield today. John O’Shea, meanwhile, will take a medical at Sunderland. Wes Brown went through the same process at the Stadium of Light last night.

Samir Nasri meanwhile is on the brink of an Old Trafford switch.

3. #GAA Ronan Curran will start at centre-back for Cork against Galway on Saturday afternoon. Galway keep faith with the side that saw off Clare last time out.

4. #GOLF In the last tournament before the British Open, we’ll keep an eye on the Scottish Open in Inverness. Peter Lawrie has made a blistering start. Follow the live scores here.

5. #COPA Argentina were booed off the pitch last night as they were held to a second successive scoreless draw in the Copa America.

Colombia earned a 0-0 draw against the hosts, throwing their hopes of progression to the quarter-finals into doubt.

6. #YOUTUBE If it’s Thursday, it must be viral video round-up day. Let us know your favourites – sport@theescore.ie.
