Celtic's Neil Lennon has picked up and already served part of a two-and-a-half match ban following an SFA hearing.

Rangers players could be free to leave the club if it is liquidated. Aberdeen are promising "stellar" signings. Just another predictable day in Scottish football....

Elsewhere, a 17-year old has scored a perfect, natural hat-trick on his full debut and a futsal player apparently thinks futsal is Portuguese for "brutally kicking an opponent in the head".
