Donald Trump’s former adviser said that the president of the United States could support Scottish independence in a future referendum if he thought it made economic sense. @pjbanyard posted: “If people were unsure about Scottish Independence, this confirms it is a bad idea. #Trumpisamoron.” @steve_holehouse joked: “That’ll be the kiss of death then if Donnie gets behind it.” @Roberts56gavin wrote: “Warning to Donald Trump - don’t support Scottish independence we don’t need or want your support.” @markf_7 added: “That’s a clincher for me then. Naw means Naw !!!” @susanbarnett said: “If he does, you can be sure it’s a bad idea. That’s how we gauge things in the US these days.” @mcgaughay1 was angered by the idea: “Trump and Sturgeon together, Scotland will end up as a super sized golf course.”

Meanwhile, former first minister Alex Salmond has said that Westminster politics is “decaying before our eyes” as he issued a rallying cry to supporters of independence. @scotlabnurse7 wrote: “Oh he thinks so ........ stats show big drop in indy supporters.” While @graciewoodrow joked: “Alex who?” @scotyes2indy said: “Well said @Alexsalmond ‘Westminster politics decays before our eyes’ - I think “Decomposes” might be more accurate - #Scotref” @Asheridansnp added: “I wholeheartedly agree with @Alexsalmond. We need to break from the decaying Westminster system now. #Scotref”

The Scottish champions have set a record of 63 unbeaten domestic games, breaking their own record of 62, set 100 years ago. Football commentator Derek Rae tweeted: “The gulf between Celtic and the rest is huge but you don’t just win by turning up. ” Former player @ Stancollymore posted: “Congratulations to everyone @celticfc, British record holders! Again.” @Mdembele_10 was proud of the achievement: “Another record broken and top class performance. Thanks for supporting all the way Bhoys & Ghirls.”
