Football Talk: Izaguirre election mix-up, pressure on Regan, Gers no to SPL

Celtic's Emilio Izaguirre practices his politician's handshake.SNS Group

And so it rumbles on like the giant boulder in an Indiana Jones movie.

Having been voted into the SFL in the Third Division on Friday, the matter of a Rangers newco playing in the SPL could be discussed at today’s league AGM despite protestations from other clubs.

As the future of the Ibrox side remains up in the air, Celtic defender Emilio Izaguirre has made a decision on future and apparently it doesn’t lie in politics.

The National Party of Honduras had hoped the 26-year-old would stand as a candidate but apparently the party don’t fit in with the full-back position’s on the left (we’re here all week).

But have no fear, there’s plenty of proper football chat with Jonathan Wilson and a double dose of neighbour to get you through those Monday blues.
