#HAMPDEN

The Scottish Football Association will stay at Hampden Park and not relocate to BT Murrayfield. The board of Scottish football’s governing body had been deliberating over a move to the stadium in Edinburgh.

@Jptsince92 tweeted: “Like it or lump it, Glasgow is the home of Scottish football. Edinburgh has the better stadium in Murrayfield though. Hampden needs dragged down and rebuilt nearer the pitch.”

@mrewanmurray added: “Ian Maxwell: “While we are now committed to Hampden Park we also recognise that it needs to change.” This will be interesting... the changes as needed will cost a fortune.”

@johnwalker_1986 posted: “Can we please look into future pricing and make upcoming games a spectacle. We cannot invite teams to visit our national stadium and have it under 50% full.”

@Martinbrown87 said: “All four stands need work. Behind the goals is terrible and there is no seat in the place close to the pitch.”

@fatbhoy77 wrote: “Perhaps the executive committee should take in a game from a seat behind the goals. This stadium is iconic and on some match days nowhere beats it for atmosphere. Badly needs redeveloped.”

#JOANNABAILLIE

Revered Scottish writer Joanna Baillie is being honoured with a Google Doodle which pays tribute to her seminal Plays on the Passion. Joanna Baillie was compared to Shakespeare during her lifetime and earned a reputation as one of the greatest poets of all time.

@Googleuk tweeted: “Today’s #Googledoodle honours Joanna Baillie, a Scottish dramatist, poet and philanthropist, who is often hailed as one of the greatest female poets of all times.”

@Abouthistorymag added: “FYI Today’s Google Doodle, Joanna Baillie, was also descended from William Wallace.”
