🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scott McTominay almost didn't become a Scotland international - the Tartan Army may even have Jose Mourinho to thank 🔴 The Manchester United teenager was coming through at Old Trafford when Mourinho suggested then-Scotland boss Alex McLeish pay McTominay a visit ⏳ Gareth Southgate's England setup were waiting in the wings for the Lancaster-born midfielder, so time was of the essence 🚂 McLeish's train from Edinburgh was abandoned before it could reach its destination, leaving the Scotland manager to make alternate travel plans late in the evening 😴 Having arrived in Manchester at 4:30am, McLeish went to bed, caught a few hours sleep and woke up the following day with one goal in mind 🤝 As it turned out, convincing McTominay to represent Scotland proved easier than McLeish had thought. The youngster was keen and jumped at the chance to pull on the shirt 🏆 Since then, he's become a modern Scottish footballing legend, scoring sensational goals at Hampden Park, qualifying for major tournaments and, at club level, winning titles with Napoli 🙌 This summer, he will be part of the squad which makes Scotland's first appearance at a FIFA World Cup for 28 years 📚 HOW IT HAPPENED: fourfourtwo.visitlink.me/i5fKOI

😤 Not everyone is delighted about Hearts topping the table, though. fourfourtwo.com/team/im-68-i-s…

💰 Billionaire professional gambler turned football club owner Tony Bloom is defying the odds once again 👏 Known for taking Brighton to the Premier League, Bloom has also helped Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise go from the second division to the Champions League 🔮 But, what he's doing with Hearts may be his greatest achievement yet - and he even predicted it at the start of the season 💻 Having invested in the Scottish Premiership club, Bloom has instituted a data-led approach to manager appointments and player recruitment 🌍 Hearts have signed key men from all over the world, buying players from Slovakia's top flight and Norway's second tier 🫢 At the beginning of 2025/26, Bloom boldly stated that he believed Hearts could compete with Rangers and Celtic 🚫 No club outside of the Old Firm has won the Scottish Premiership since Aberdeen in 1985. Rarely do any other teams come close 🏁 So, for Hearts to be top of the pile heading into the final straight, it's a fascinating story and directly linked to Bloom's influence 🔜 During a season in which Rangers and Celtic have each had their own issues to deal with, Hearts have capitalised and are genuine title contenders with only two months of the season remaining 📚 READ THE FULL STORY HERE: fourfourtwo.visitlink.me/JyOALA

😬 Are Benfica the unluckiest team in Europe? 🦅 Jose Mourinho's side are unbeaten in 27 games this season - but still sit third in the table 📊 Benfica are seven points adrift of league leaders FC Porto, who have dropped just nine points all season

Spurs' odds to succumb to the drop have shortened...significantly. fourfourtwo.com/competition/pr…
