#SCOTTISHCUP
Celtic thumped Rangers to reach the final of the Scottish Cup with a dominant display during their 4-0 win. @Barryanderson_ tweeted: “Struggling to recall a more one-sided game involving Celtic & Rangers. Rodgers on course for a double treble while Murty is on course for the exit at Ibrox. Dave King’s comments did him no favours whatsoever.” @ibroxrocks admitted: “The board have a massive week ahead. We need to hear from them. This is happening on their watch and decisions over the last two seasons have come back to haunt us.” @Oldfirmfacts1 joked: “Frustrating afternoon for Celtic fans as the wait continues for a Rangers TV commentary upload.” @Ccjambo offered: Aberdeen defending shocking in the first semi final. Rangers: Hold my beer.”
#CALLUMHAWKINS
The Scottish runner was taken to hospital after collapsing during the men’s marathon at the Commonwealth Games. @chrisurquhart shared: “Can’t believe the length of time Hawkins was lying on the ground without officials or medics appearing to be anywhere near him. Really hope he is ok.” @Aislinkriukelis noted: “Stoked for Michael Shelley, but horrible to see Callum Hawkins in such agony. Atrocious running conditions. I was sweating while on the sideline.” @Bbctomenglish said: “Drama on the Bridge. Incredible what driven sports people put themselves through. Callum Hawkins gave everything and deserved better.”
#NICOLASTURGEON
Nicola Sturgeon condemned the UK government’s decision to launch missile attacks on Syria without the backing of parliament. @Nicolasturgeon tweeted: “Air strikes have not resolved situation in Syria so far - nothing I’ve heard persuades me they will do so now. An international strategy for peace must be pursued - not a course that risks dangerous escalation. UK foreign policy should be set by Parliament, not US President.” @Daviddhenry said: “Absolutely right. Take Back Control the #brexiters said make the parliament sovereign they said. That means parliament has to vote before going into war. @ Conservatives are a danger to democracy.”
