Good news. With an 8pm kick-off on a Saturday, tonight's Rangers game has already ruined the weekend. So you can remove that particular worry from your pre-match nerves.

At this stage this is just an excuse for a bunch of men to manhandle women. I’m sorry but this is a sexual pervert’s wet dream and I bet this demographic will be signing up in droves just to get off legally.

I didn't watch Question Time last night but I assume the "immigration special" achieved its only aim; quelling fears and dampening all hysteria around the issue.

So unbelievably proud to see us back in the World Cup finals and the fact "No Scotland, No Party" makes me want to kill myself is a small price to pay.

It should be a criminal offence to refer to Premier League records and not immediately cite the holder of the same feat in the century of top flight English football which wasn't called the Premier League NO I DON'T KNOW WHO GOT TO 100 GOALS FASTEST IN THE OLD FIRST DIVISION BUT THAT'S NOT MY POINT!

Thank you.

In their games against fellow previous winners of the European Cup/Champions League this season, Liverpool are currently losing 5-2.
Inter and Marseille next in Europe. Gives them the chance to get back in the lead by the end of a February in which they play Man City and Forest again.

NEW There's no overstating how significant the Nathan Gill case is. On Friday, the close associate of Nigel Farage was jailed for over 10 years for taking bribes ultimately from a friend of Putin. It's a complex, detail-heavy story that raises questions about Farage’s claim Gill was ‘one bad apple’🧵

NEW VIDEO: At Ibrox we want head coaches rather than managers now. The CEO and Sporting Director will take on a lot of the traditional Rangers manager's roles. And they've just taken on the main one of the 2020s: getting sacked within a year.

All well and good sacking this pair but if Thelwell's family walk out with him our entire infrastructure will consist of a lassie on the middle pie stall in the Copland front concourse and the guy on the gate at Auchenhowie.
