Celtic took just eight minutes to take the lead through Yang, who reacted quickest to finish from close range after Tomas Cvancara's shot was spilled by Jon McCracken.

Now, the Scottish police force will record biological sex and separately note whether the individual is transgender. This new policy will apply to all victims and complainers, suspected and accused people, and people at risk across all crimes and offences.

This crew - smallish in number but sufficiently large to assault the eardrums of the management and players - are an odd bunch. It's true that Scotland should be beyond the point of just being happy going to the World Cup - and these players are way past that notion.

I know how it goes. If you lose those two games, I'm not in the conversation at all. I think we had two relatively-positive performances. Again, still so much about those that I'm not entirely happy about and want to keep improving on, but I think we've got things moving in a decent direction.

"Labour's time is up. This now is a straight choice between Plaid Cymru and Reform, between hope and division, between credibility and chaos."

Malcolm Offord stated that the joke was intended to be 'funny through being edgy and shocking', but he acknowledged that it made attendees uncomfortable and he 'instantly regretted it'.

This idea that I became obsessed [with gender recognition reform] to the exclusion of everything else is just a nonsense thing that some of my opponents say.

Selina Hales has a thing about pineapples. She is talking in a quiet office, set aside from the bustle of Refuweegee, the charity she founded 10 years ago, and the walls are festooned with tissue paper cutouts of the fruit, which is an international symbol of hospitality. Refuweegee its name a combination of the words refugee and Weegee, local slang for Glaswegian has expanded exponentially over the decade into an operation that supports hundreds of asylum seekers and refugees in the city every day.

Current liabilities far exceed both cash at hand and projected income. I wish to place on record my grateful thanks to the membership for their efforts for our party and for our cause. It has been a privilege to work with them. We can be proud of what we sought to achieve and also the support which we gave to our founder in his time of need.

This was a big, bold intervention from Anas Sarwar - to be the first leading Labour figure to call for the prime minister to go. He has done so out of frustration and anger. Anger at the prime minister's handling of the Mandelson mess. He said on Thursday that the Labour peer should never have been considered for the job of UK ambassador to Washington.

Former Scottish National Party (SNP) chief executive Peter Murrell is accused of embezzling 459,000 from the party over more than 12 years, according to reports. Mr Murrell, who is Nicola Sturgeon's estranged husband, is alleged to have used the money to buy items including a motorhome and luxury goods, and to partially fund the purchase of two cars. He is accused of embezzling the funds between August 2010 and January 2023, according to an indictment seen by the BBC and first reported in The Sun.

Around 5,000 seats across 136 local councils will now be up for grabs, following the government's U-turn on council election delays. Ministers had granted 30 authorities permission to delay elections until May 2027 - including five areas where polls had already been put back from May 2025. But in February, the government said those elections would go ahead in May this year, following legal advice in the wake of a challenge from Reform UK.

He urged moderate unionists no longer represented by the Tories and rational nationalists no longer represented by the SNP to find common ground in their support for Reform, but dismissed any prospect of a second referendum on independence in the medium term. I say no to the distraction of another referendum, for at least another 10 years, without ruling one out in the future, he said.
