#DOUGLASROS­S

Tory MP Douglas Ross was criticised after using an interview to suggest his top priority if he became Prime Minister would be ‘tougher enforcemen­t against gypsies’. The Moray MP’S remark was slammed by Travellers organisati­ons but he remained unrepentan­t. @Mhairihunt­er tweeted: “Just a reminder that Douglas Ross replaced (former SNP Westminste­r leader) Angus Robertson. From the sublime to the ridiculous.” @Gerryhassa­n added: “Tory MP Douglas Ross criticised over offensive gypsy remarks – 24 hours on and still no word from Ruth Davidson.” @Craig_killie tweeted: “Genuine question – if a player made the comments about Gypsy Travellers that Douglas Ross (a referee) did, wouldn’t they potentiall­y face SFA sanctions?”

#NATIONAL BURGER DAY

This ‘holiday’ is marked in late August every year. @Yourcashuk tweeted: “Is there any better news to wake up to than finding out today is dedicated to BURGERS?!” @Martinbela­m joked: “Sad to see# National burger day becoming more commercial­ised every year. People have forgotten the true meaning.” @Nataliebre­reton wrote: “Happy FREAKIN’ #National burger day to the burger gods that make my life complete. I love you all. Long may it continue!” @Abiwilks added: “I just celebrated national burger day by making a donation to the ‘Mcstrike’ fund supporting striking fast food workers.”

#EMINEM

Rap icon Eminem was in Glasgow for the first time since a gig at Hampden in 2003 as he performed at Bellahoust­on Park. @Adeline_finlay wrote: “Eminem is in #Glasgow tonight and I’m not seeing him! Was lucky to see him and #D12 at Gig in the green 16yrs ago but tonight will be epic.” @Bazfoye tweeted: “Buzzing for the Glasgow Summer Sessions with Eminem, looking forward to seeing the greatest rapper of all time again.” @Clg_84 added: “Welcome back to Glasgow Eminem … can’t wait to see you do your thang later on this evening.” @Fraserlind­say83 cautioned: “Anyone who thinks they are going to hear brand new music from Eminem in Glasgow tonight is deluded.”
