Donald Trump talking about working with Mexico and the great friendship with them. This is the guy who literally invested money in a wall to keep them out of the USA. #WorldCup2026

Can't believe FIFA have followed that outstanding Andrea Bocelli rendition of Nessun Dorma with Gianni Infantino and Robbie Williams.

FIFA expecting fans to pay thousands of pounds for World Cup knockout tickets in Feb, holding the cash for five months, then charging a £37 fee to refund when your team is out. Totally unacceptable. Every football association should be rejecting this exploitation. #TartanArmy 🏴

A word on Ann Budge: Utterly transformed Hearts, gave the club back its pride and identity after administration. Fans helped enormously. AB made a few mistakes but Tynecastle's main stand should (and I think will) be renamed in her honour. Wish her well as she steps back.

Celtic have extended the Green Brigade's suspension from Celtic Park: "This is due to safety incidents involving the Green Brigade, including direct threats against the Club’s Head of Safety and Security Operations, impacting safety within the rail seating section."

Scotland's majority voted against Brexit - 62% of Scots voted to remain in the EU, 38% voted to leave. So not the whole country. The 52% of the UK who voted to leave made a monumental arse of it, and we are all suffering as a result.
@SkyNews Brexit is everything, the whole country voted for Brexit and to leave the EU and we must stick to that decision or all will be for nothing. We must not go back and join the EU again.
