Scotland World Cup Squad: Gordon Set to Be Oldest Player as Gunn Gets No 1 Shirt Scotland’s World Cup squad numbers have been confirmed, with veteran goalkeeper Craig Gordon set to make history as the oldest player at the tournament. Despite this milestone, the 43 year old has not been given the No 1 shirt. Angus Gunn has been assigned the No 1 jersey and is expected to be the first choice goalkeeper. Liam Kelly will wear No 12, while Gordon takes No 21 in the final squad list submitted by the national team. Manchester United teenager Tyler Fletcher has been handed No 8 after replacing injured midfielder Billy Gilmour in the squad at short notice. His inclusion is one of the notable changes in Steve Clarke’s final selection. Scotland’s attacking options have also been clearly numbered. Lyndon Dykes will wear No 9, Che Adams takes No 10, and Lawrence Shankland has been given No 20. These selections may give some hints about the manager’s preferred forward setup, although the starting line up is still not confirmed. In defence and midfield, Grant Hanley has been given No 5, while other key squad members include Andy Robertson, Scott McTominay, and John McGinn. Scotland will continue their preparations with a final warm up match against Bolivia before heading into the tournament. Their opening World Cup group game will follow against Haiti in Boston, before facing Morocco and Brazil.

Teen suffers life changing injury after Barry Island attack A 17 year old boy from Cardiff has had his leg amputated after being stabbed during an incident at Barry Island on 25 May. Police confirmed the injury turned out to be far more serious than doctors first believed. Emergency treatment and critical condition The teenager was rushed to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff, where he received urgent care. Medical staff initially did not expect the injury to be life threatening or permanently disabling. His condition later worsened, leading to the decision to amputate his leg. Police investigation continues South Wales Police said the teenager remains in critical care support during recovery. Officers are reviewing hundreds of hours of CCTV footage from the area and are also working to identify and speak with witnesses who may have seen what happened. Suspect released on bail An 18 year old man from Cardiff was arrested on suspicion of causing serious harm with intent. He has been released on bail while police continue their enquiries. Family receiving support Investigating officers described the situation as deeply distressing for the victim and his family. A specially trained family liaison officer has been assigned to support them during this difficult time.

Anthropic Moves Toward US IPO as AI Market Approaches Record Valuations Anthropic Prepares for Public Listing in the US Artificial intelligence company Anthropic has started the process of going public in the United States. The firm, known for its chatbot Claude, has filed paperwork with US regulators to begin an initial public offering. The company has not confirmed the share price or how many shares will be offered yet. Anthropic was founded just five years ago and has quickly grown into one of the leading AI companies in the world. Recent private funding placed its valuation above $965 billion, putting it close to the trillion-dollar mark. AI Valuations Push Toward Historic Levels The planned IPO comes at a time when investor interest in artificial intelligence is extremely high. Anthropic is now competing directly with other major players such as OpenAI and SpaceX in attracting large scale investment. OpenAI is also considering a public listing. Its most recent valuation stands at around $852 billion, slightly below Anthropic’s latest private estimate. SpaceX is also preparing for a possible stock market debut that could reshape investor expectations for technology companies. Alphabet, the parent company of Google, has also announced plans to raise about $80 billion to expand its AI investments. This shows how strongly major tech firms are competing in the AI space. Competition Between Anthropic and OpenAI Intensifies Anthropic was founded by Dario Amodei after he left OpenAI due to strategic disagreements with its leadership. Since then, both companies have developed advanced AI systems and now compete for users, enterprise customers, and investor funding. OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman has stated that his company will go public when the timing is right, but there is no urgency. Both firms are now seen as key players in the race to dominate generative AI. Investor Debate on Timing and Market Risk Market analysts are closely watching how and when these companies choose to list. Some experts believe Anthropic could help set new standards for valuing AI businesses, especially around revenue, subscribers, and enterprise adoption. Others argue that being first to market may be an advantage, as it allows a company to shape investor expectations. If a company delays too long, it may lose that influence. Investors are also interested in Anthropic’s financial performance, especially profitability, which will be closely studied once official IPO documents are released. AI Industry Enters Capital Intensive Phase Experts say the AI sector is entering a phase that requires massive investment. Companies are spending heavily on infrastructure, research, and model development. This capital demand is driving the push toward public markets. If Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceX all go public, it could create one of the largest technology investment waves in stock market history.
