CRYING SHAME

EMOTIONAL darts star Cameron Menzies has revealed his tears at the Darts World Championship were over his sick dad, Ricky.

The Scot broke down as he was beaten by Leonard Gates at the World Championships at a rowdy Alexandra Palace.

But the Ayrshire ace blocked out the hounding from a partisan crowd as his dad's health was foremost in his mind.

Cameron's hero Ally McCoist, who had given him a pep talk before the match, sympathised with him over his breakdown.

He told TalkSport: "Cameron's a brilliant lad, I know him, I spoke to him, smashing lad, particularly in an arena like that where he can hear it, see it, and it's so visible.

"Anybody that has performed in an Old Firm derby would tell you, particularly the opposition stadium, the abuse that you take, with the greatest respect, it's unacceptable.

"Some of the things that are shouted at football matches, in particular, any other walk of life, you did it in the street, you go to jail. So it should not be allowed.

Jacksons to headline UK summer fest

THE Jacksons are set to return to the UK to headline a music festival. The Motown stars - whose hits include Blame It on the Boogie, I Want You Back and Can You Feel It - will top the bill at Guil- fest on Saturday July 5. Only three members of the original line-up - Jackie, 72, Jermaine, 70, and Marlon, 67 - are still alive after Michael died aged 50 in 2009 and Tito died aged 70 last year. Marlon, Jackie and Tito's son Taryll, 49, will perform at the festival in Guildford, Surrey, which sold out last year when it returned for the first time in a decade. Organiser Tony Scott said: \"It is an absolute priv- ilege to have the legendary Jacksons headlining.\" Razorlight will play the main stage on Sunday.
