Spent some time with Ange Postecoglou this week - a fascinating bloke. We spoke about immigration, his inspirations and why #Celtic history chimes with his story. I made this with @83AdamC
💚Powerful. Emotional. Unmissable. Ange Postecoglou sits down to give us an in-depth look into his life. From difficult times in Greece to moving to Australia, the @CelticFC manager tells us his story.

A televised penalty shoot in which you can’t see goalkeeper. 🍿

This is the current scene above Altrincham's stadium as they head into extra time against Notts County in the FA Cup. 👀

Quite the achievement…
Our captain. Our centurion. A man who has led us into three major tournaments. Nobody has worked harder to get to where he is today – and nobody deserves it more. Congratulations on your 100th cap, Robbo.

My thoughts are with the hamstrings and calves of the many 30-50 year old friends set to pull on the boots again for the Tennent’s Sixes this weekend. 🚑

'That really does help us to bear witness to the grief... and you feel a bit stronger afterwards' John and Amy Hunt told #BBCBreakfast 'it's really uplifting' when people stop to talk as they continue their 120-mile charity walk after the murders of John's wife Carol and daughters, Louise and Hannah bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c60m…

Continuing making some short films with those in & around Scottish Football. The inspirational @MrGunny1963 is the latest person to be generous enough to spare me some time. Him on pride and heartbreak. Bryan Gunn: Football and Fatherhood youtu.be/jK4KqLNAR4g?si=-4jn… via @YouTube

Steven Pressley must be the most under appreciated figure in Scottish football.

In the age of TikTok videos and aggregated content, proper journalism can struggle for oxygen and opportunity. The FIFA debacle has been a refreshing reminder of what can be achieved and why it’s vital to allow people to build up contacts rather than clicks. @martynziegler 👏🏻

Awfully sad. A sensational player who had an incredible career. Interviewed him in my very early days - one of the few times I’ve been starstruck 💔
Truly heartbroken to post this on behalf of the Keegan family... It is with immense sadness that we announce that Kevin Keegan has passed away at the age of 75. The former England player and manager had been battling cancer and was surrounded by his wife and daughters in his final moments. Kevin, a double Ballon D’or winner, was a much loved husband, father and grandfather. The family would like to thank Kevin’s incredible medical team for all their support. This is a hugely difficult time and they are requesting space and privacy.

I wish people could appreciate how much time and effort goes into making the closing Vt for something like the World Cup. An unimaginable amount of shots to sift through, an almost infinite number of music tracks to consider using… today’s offering was great 👏🏻
