It’s almost like we planned it that way!

4.58pm

Some interesting detective work here…

 

4.51pm

We’re not saying it is either of them. Or both. Or someone else entirely, but this has been fun to watch how your minds have been working.  Still think it’s going to be a gallant return of Kyle “The Bruce” Bruce

Just a final reminder that any entries for the Jersey Design competition need to be in by 6pm tonight, if you were thinking of entering.

Full information and details can be found .

3.40pm

Can someone do us a favour?  There was meant to a flight containing McDavid and Drasiaitl coming to Glasgow, so would someone be kind enough to go on FlightRadar or one of those plane tracking apps to find out if it’s landed.  Asking for a friend…

3.38pm

Just leave this here…

3.35pm

Just in case you’ve been away or busy, let’s bring you up to speed with Super Signing Sunday so far…
