Happy to be here and looking forward to good times ahead.
Gianni Infantino, the FIFA supremo, encapsulates and exemplifies almost everything that's wrong with the people's game, football ⚽️. So very far away from ordinary supporters across the world 🌎. Tonight, however, he could lower still his standards of behaviour. Let's see 👀

Plans to leave refugees in a state of perpetual uncertainty about where and if they can rebuild their lives are not just performative cruelty, they are counterproductive to integration and the economy. It doesn’t have to be like this - 1/2

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

How we won that game tonight at Hampden, and 3-1 and all, is a bigger mystery than that of the Marie Celeste. 🤔🤭😲😂 Scotland versus Greece in 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

I was hoping against hope tonight that Scotland would not lose versus Greece at Hampden but we've been second best by a country mile. Then, Christie goes and equalises! 😲😲😲

Ekechi Iheanacho has evidently lost his way over the past couple of seasons but he's still young and his profile - strong, fast and uncompromising - is what our attack needs. He has significant EPL experience and that's no joke. I, for one, hope he proves himself and makes a positive contribution.
Celtic have confirmed the signing of Kelechi Iheanacho.

Absolutely rotten Celtic performance tonight against Kairat Almaty. We don't deserve anything from this game and the tie overall. A mediocre side of committed and hard working players stopped us from scoring. And terrible Idah first penalty kills us. 😡
