I interviewed Kevin Muscat for the Sunday Post back in July 2018 and he spoke eloquently of his love of Rangers and his desire to manage the club one day. A real winner as a manager slips through the net. Something is deeply wrong at Ibrox at the moment. #RangersFC #kevinmuscat

On behalf of European football, we are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Denis Law. One of Scottish football’s true greats, he was a Ballon d’Or winner in 1964 before lifting the European Cup with Manchester United in 1968. Rest in peace, Denis.

If I was worried about people comparing me to 1930s Germany, my next move probably wouldn't be to shut down all criticism on the national broadcasting service
