  "account": "The Tennent's Soccer Sixes, a beloved indoor soccer tournament, is returning for a legends event later this year. All 12 Scottish Premiership clubs will field teams in the revived tournament, backed by the SPFL. The event will be held at Braehead Arena on October 3 and 4 and will be broadcast on Premier Sports. The group stages will be played on Saturday, with winners and runners-up from regionalized groups of four teams advancing to the knockout stage, along with the two best third-place teams. Every match will have a winner, with a bonus point awarded for a penalty shootout victory in case of a draw after normal time. The sin bin will be in effect. Partick Thistle, who won the last tournament in 1993, will not participate as they currently play in the Scottish Championship. SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster expressed excitement about the tournament's return, stating that it holds a special place in the hearts of football fans.",
