Scotland is no stranger to a debate over when to hold a vote.

Many have called for the date of a referendum on Scottish independence to be brought forward from 2014.

By this rate, it might come before a decision on whether Rangers will be in the SPL or not.

Meanwhile former Ibrox players Steven Naismith, Steven Whittaker and John Fleck have plonked their bags at various destinations around England.

Nigel Hasselbaink has reminded people he is indeed Nigel Hasselbaink and not Fran Sandaza or Cillian Sheridan (just incase you were confused).

Billy Brown has expressed his desire to become a manager and his own right.

As you will know from our Euro 2012 coverage, we here at Football Talk Towers are fans of a well-dressed manager.

In this regard we are delighted that Spurs have chosen Andre-Villas Boas as their new boss.
