Bonnyrigg Rose, a modest Scottish soccer club with a storied connection to former 'James Bond' star Sean Connery, has come under the spotlight after receiving a six-point deduction for a sloping field.

The club, promoted to Scottish League Two in 2022, is now reaching out to fans for support, aiming to raise over 100,000 pounds to fix the pitch at New Dundas Park and prevent further sanctions from league authorities.
