Perhaps the greatest missed opportunity in the history of Scottish sport was yon night, Slim Jim took wee Puskas out on the bevvy in Castlemilk.
Allegedly, the evening ended with a wee bit of jig-a-jig. Some 20-years later, then, Scotland ought ot have had a left-wing to beat the world. But, hey, it happened in Scotland - perhaps the two willing young ladies did get pregnant and have sons who had amazing left feet, but, since they were: too-wee, they probably never were picked-up by our leading football clubs - we can only speculate.
Still, it would be nice to think, some Glesca burd did ber bit for the future of Scottish athletice with big Usain on Saturday night/Sunday morning, and we've got a potential Scottish sprint sensation for the 2036 Olympics on the way.
It's the least the big man deserves for his all-too-short cameo at the games, what a star.
Any way, the Commonwealth Games have come and gone, and it is now back to the purritch and auld claes of the fitba season.
THE weekend didn't go too-well for the Bigot Brothers. Celtic bounced back from being stuffed in Warsaw to be even more stuffed by Spurs. They will still win the SPFL at a canter though. Mind you, it would be great to think we could celebrate the 50th anniversary of Kilmarnock winning the league with another two-horse league-title race in which neither jockey is wearing green and white hoops or royal blue shirts.
And pity the poor, deluded fans of the Ibrox Tribute Act. They could hardly celebrate the Hoops horror show, after their heroes were stuffed by the "Wally with the brolly's" team.
Now, nobody can complain about the Tribute Act not knowing their back catalogue. Mohsni's red card collection is now rivaling Willie Woodburn's; the difference is, Woodburn was a player.
The SFA might like to think of banning Mohsni sine die - except Peter Lawwell will probably veto this, he wants Mohsni playing for Rangers, as a handicap.
Celtic will be in Edinburgh tomorrow night, playing Legia Warsaw at Murrayfield. IF they can overturn the Poles' three-goal first league advantage it will surely rank as one of the club's greatest European results - I cannot see this, however, all is not lost - some of the Celtic Family could be in with a serious chance of winning the Edinburgh Festival Fringe's award for street theatre.
