It was a week for Scottish sport and everything launched – as it does so often – in the former company last week.
The Rangers and Celtic fought against a 1-1 draw which left no really satisfied part, but the main discussion points once again derive actions occurring from the field.
The view of missiles that was raining on the playing field is never welcome in Scottish football – or anywhere, moreover – but the additional obscenity of a giant tifo display showing an image of the old manager of the Graeme Souness rangers brandishing a hunting rifle and took a Celtic horror and made a Celtic horror.
Sport’s email Calum Crowe was not slow to train views of the Faille des Fans des Rangers who chose to attract unwanted attention to the club at a time when their proposed buyout project must be completed, asking what the new potential owners of the 49ers of San Francisco had to think of what they were witnesses last Sunday.

Far from football, the big news of this week involved the announcement of the Lions team and the inclusion of a healthy total of eight Scottish in the selection of coach Andy Farrell.
There had been nerves before the announcement with a combination of fitness problems and rugby policy threatening the involvement of certain tartan contingents, but it was a relief all around when the names of Sione Tuipulotu, Finn Russell, Huw Jones, Blair Kinghorn, Duhan Van Derw, Pierre Schoeman, Zander Fagerson and Scott Cummings were all.
For the Scottish skipper Tuipulotu, in particular, the call was particularly soft because he will see him return to his native Australia bearing the emblematic Jersey Red Lions … Only a few months after having feared that his pre-nation injury has extended his chances of making a tour for which many had informed him as a competitor of captain.
