First Minister’s Questions was a fiery affair as new Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard clashed with Nicola Sturgeon over fire service cuts. @Thecommonspace shared: “After Leonard rages against falling pensions, Sturgeon reminds him that pensions are a reserved matter. Invites him to campaign for their devolution.” @jcullinane86 said: “Firefighters are literally outside the Scottish Parliament just now protesting against cuts but the First Minister says there are no cuts. I know who I believe” @Politicsscot tweeted: “Is this what Scottish Labour are reduced to? Once the natural party of government they are reduced to screaming and pointing at posters saying ‘No More Cuts’. Feels like a student politics review”

Celtic were thumped once more by Paris Saint-germain.

Knew that when we signed him. If you can’t handle him at his worst, you don’t deserve him at his best!” @gordon_struth said: “Celtic are to the Champions League what Queen’s Park are to the Scottish Cup – a historical curiosity in search of a money-spinning run, praying for the occasional giant-killing but frequently getting hammered” @Marcbenamram posted: “Celtic playing it out from the back like they’re playing Ross County. Safe to say, being top of the mighty Scottish Premier League has certainly got to their heads.”

Fun: The unexpected Smart parents!” @andrewdurrant75 noted: “Moral of the story – don’t put the decs up after coming home from the pub...”
