MSPs urge Lottery cash for sport
Lottery money must be released in Scotland to improve "muddy slope" sports grounds and offset cash "lost" to the London Olympics, according to MSPs.
Independent MSP Margo MacDonald said a substantial sum should be released to build on success and secure a legacy from the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
She said playing fields, particularly in remote areas, were a health hazard and warned talented young athletes were not being given the best opportunities.
