#FRANKDORAN

Former Aberdeen MP Frank Doran has died at the age of 68. Mr Doran served as the MP for Aberdeen South between 1987 and 1992 for Scottish Labour. @heidi_mp said: “So sad about Frank Doran passing away. One of the nicest, most thoughtful, decent and interesting people I have ever known.” @Jennymarra added: “Very sad to hear of Frank Doran’s death. A gentle and tenacious man. So popular with his constituents. Always interested and encouraging.” @gemmacdoyle said: “Frank Doran was a real champion for Aberdeen and a thoroughly nice man. So sad to hear of his passing and thoughts are with Joan and his family.”

#CATALONIA

Catalonia’s ousted president, Carles Puigdemont, held a chaotic press conference in Belgium after Spain’s supreme court called for charges of rebellion, sedition and misuse of public funds against him and 13 other separatist leaders. @Muzicalicious said: “President Puigdemont does what he does for Catalonia and the Catalan people. No further comments necessary.” @Kerubbin added: “He’s staying in Brussels out of pure shame. He has no means to explain the huge bluff to the judge, Catalans and his own voters.” @Poke_in_the_eye said: “He is in Brussels to save his own neck, no other reason. He stirred up trouble – whipping up people, and people died. He does have a lot to answer for.”

#CELTIC

Defender Kieran Tierney has signed a six-year contract with Celtic. Some were worried that the fan favourite would be snapped up by an English Premier League side, so the excitement was real when the announcement was made. @byars_paul said: “Phenomenal piece of business by @celticfc to get Tierney on a six-year deal. No doubt in my mind he will be future captain.” @P_67 added: “Freezing cold Monday, I get home and Kieran Tierney’s signed a new six-year deal. Probably ma favouritest Monday EVER.” @Fi_kennedy jokingly tweeted: “There are so many levels of happiness to hearing the news of Kieran Tierney’s new deal, that Tweets will not suffice. Amazing business.”
