On the night Sir Alex finally gets his Scotland cap, he watches a Man United kid he signed as an 8 year-old score the winner for his country. In Fergie Time.

Yes, but I get to live here. If my extra £1500 helps folk get free prescriptions, schoolkids get free meals in their first three years etc that's fine by me. It's called caring but you're a Tory so I wouldn't expect you to understand.
If you earn £50,000 in Scotland you will be paying a whopping £1,500 more tax than someone south of the border- after SNP failed to match our Budget tax cuts.

"I'm grateful for the time that we had, but it's been hard. Anything I do from here on in will be for him."
Kevin Nisbet pays an emotional tribute to his Dad, Thomas, who passed away last Wednesday.
It goes without saying that Kevin has the support of everyone at the club.

Ridiculous, shameful and shambolic. My 10-year-old is allowed to be on holiday in a different health board region but he can’t travel two miles to train with his team just across a HB border. The SFA should be demanding that Govt does something, not meekly accepting flawed logic.
