Football Talk: Man United want Wanyama, Levein mystery, must see goals

"And they've got real Pandas there too!"SNS Group

They seek them here, they seek them there, they seek them everywhere.

The seven-man Scottish FA board donned their invisibility cloaks on Thursday to discuss the future of Craig Levein. What did they decide? Well, we don't know, sadly.

Football Talk, thankfully, has a plan. There's an STV seven-a-side team taking part in a charity tournament tonight and we've made a bid to Craig to come and manage our team on a lucrative tax-free salary. The 6-0 formation employed won't win us the thing, but finishing above the BBC is the only target.

Talking of ludicrous sums, Neil Lennon's cunning plan of quoting £25m as the price tag for Victor Wanyama appears to have pricked the ears of Sir Alex Ferguson, who is reportedly set to make a cheeky low bid of £12m.

Here's a selection of the top stories in Scottish football today.
