Steve Lomas says his team did him proud during their defeat to - don't even try and pronounce it - the Turks, while (cues The Third Man theme) former Celtic team-mates Aiden McGeady and Michael Gardyne have been trading info on Dundee United's Europa League opponents, Dynamo Moscow. While wearing trenchcoats. Probably.

Meanwhile, in Norwich, Robert Sno... wait. Wait a minute. (switches off The Third Man theme).

Ahem. Or should we say "aha"! Meanwhile, in Norwich, the newly acquired Robert Snodgrass says that he couldn't have possibly turned down the chance to play in the Premiership after moving to Carrow Road from Leeds United.

Kilmarnock's soothsayer-in-chief, Kenny Shiels, believes that his club are like the snow leopard, the rainbow parrotfish and the goitered gazelle. For them all, survival is the main priority.

There's a story on French taxation (more exciting than it seems), a discussion of Barry Bannan's pre-season form (far more exciting than it seems) and a goal from Brazil which features a few stepovers and a rabona (which is exactly as exciting as it seems).
