Summary
Large parts of the UK were hammered by Storm Floris in the past 24 hours – Will Bain hears from one Scottish business uniquely placed to share their story.
Following on from our item yesterday on Morecambe FC there are yet more financial issues in the EFL - we hear about what's going wrong for Sheffield Wednesday.
