Off the ball

SNP transport minister Humza Yousaf tweeted some supposedly funny remarks about the assistant referee and Tory MP, Dougie Ross, after he tumbled while officiating at the Scottish Cup Final.

The minister’s remarks were the opposite of amusing, being of the ‘’nasty Nat’’ variety. Once he brought in the immigrant angle, it was clear Mr Yousaf had descended into a personal attack. Meanwhile, Scotland’s roads on Mr Yousaf ’s watch descend into a pothole-ridden Third World standard.
