#SCOTCHDAY
Whisky lovers across the globe were enjoying a wee dram together yesterday to toast International Scotch Day 2018. @snickeller quipped: “Finally, a day I can believe in! #Internationalscotchday” @Jesswhitecroft said: “Wait, there’s an #Internationalscotchday now? Hel-lo that bottle of twelve-year-old Glenmorangie. (Like I need an excuse)” @Lucianturcu1 said: “#internationalscotchday is a true celebration of Scotland’s greatest gift”
#CRAIGLEVEIN
Hearts boss Craig Levein caused controversy after accusing Celtic’s Scott Brown of deliberately picking up a booking at Kilmarnock in order to be suspensionfree for the Old Firm game versus Rangers. Some fans applauded the ex-scotland manager. @robertthomson55 said: “There are few more enjoyable sights in Scottish football than Craig Levein in full wind-up mode. Sensational stuff.” @Callumcarson34 said: “How come Craig Levein’s patter wasn’t this magnificent when he was Scotland manager?” @jay_mfc said: “I’ll always have a strong dislike for Craig Levein after the 4-60 debacle in particular, but his new self-appointed role as the SPFL’S premier troll is tremendous.” @Theforthboy said: “Craig Levein is on the wind-up every week and the amount of bites he gets is unreal.”

The Scottish Government’s handling of freedom of information (FOI) requests as well as so-called revelations that Prestwick Airport was being used by the US military were among the major talking points at yesterday’s First Minister’s Questions. @stuarttooley said: “Nicola Sturgeon logic: we have released some information under FOI requests, therefore we can’t have concealed information under FOI.” @Forscotlandsake said: “Sturgeon just gave a very slippery answer about the difficulty people have had with FOI requests.” @Lewisspoon asked: “why shouldn’t US military, a Nato ally, use Prestwick Airport?” @Myscotlandpage said: “Redirected to #Prestwick after the #Glasgow Airport attack a jumbo jet full of US soldiers arrived to refuel whilst we were waiting to fly out. Not news”
