Fascinated to see them regroup and go again. They’ve given the game a massive shot in the arm.

Hearts have been brilliant this season. I understand their city rivals revelling in them falling short today, but everyone else in the Scottish Premiership should be applauding them for reminding us all - players, coaches, fans, media + particularly boardrooms - what is possible.

@pablomac67 I don’t know if definitely it does tho. But like I say, in 2026, if your hand is that high, and near the ball you’re at risk. It feels like one that 90% of fans would say wasn’t a pen in an ideal world, but in current climate can be a pen.

@markbenstead But you have to be sure because there’s literal evidence of it? That’s the part that’s undeniable. It’s in the box, it hits his hand, it’s in an unnatural position. That’s your 3 point checklist for a penalty.

On last night … I always say in this era if hand above shoulder you’re leaving yourself open to something going against you. That said, is it clear obvious error, did it conclusively hit his hand, and if so did it in any way change direction of the ball, prob a no on all those.

@pablomac67 I’m not sure you can say definitely it did tho, and you can’t definitely say it was a clear and obvious error… but as I say, as soon as your hand goes above the shoulder it’s open season. For me it’s not handball, but in 2026, not the biggest scandal on earth it’s been given.

@markbenstead Mark, are we living in the twilight zone here? How can anyone deny it hit his hand? It’s as plain as day.

And away from the main event, love him or loathe him, James Tavernier deserved better. That level of service and commitment is rare in this day and age, he deserved his moment to say goodbye properly. Rangers as a club should have done better. Well done John Greig.

More eyes on Scottish football than there have been in a very long time (for good and bad reasons…) I hope the clubs and leagues capitalise on this opportunity moving forward…

I played his son, Young Caius, for a week, at the Theatre Royal in Glasgow when the ESC toured Coriolanus. (I had one line!) 9-year-old me was mesmerised by the intensity of the stagecraft. What a privilege. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Two wrongs don’t make a right and all that… but at least 2 Arsenal players with their arms round West Ham players during the foul on Raya. Right decision to disallow the goal but Arsenal aren’t exactly angels at set pieces…

You’ll struggle to find a manager that works harder and deserves all the credit after a summer of rebuild only fair that Dundee were favourites for going down IF you don’t know him or judge him on press conferences 💙

As a Scottish football neutral, I’m not sure I’ve ever looked forward to a game as much as Motherwell v Hearts tonight. A none Old Firm team with the chance to go within 2 results of the title, but facing a team who themselves have been brilliant this season. 🍿

Our thoughts on this significant and poignant day, as always, are with all those affected by the tragedy at Hillsborough and we pause in memory of the 97 fans who will never be forgotten.

In an age in which every round of football fixtures is stretched to the absolute limits to maximise possible tv audiences, it seems mad that tonight’s World Cup play-offs (by and large) have all be played simultaneously 🫤
