A tough night for Scotland especially going down to ten men so early in the game against a confident and composed Swiss side. Another two games left of this international break as Scotland still search for their first goal under Sebastien Pocognoli. North Macedonia away next.

Form is temporary, class is permanent. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is off to a flyer with Deportivo La Coruña after his summer move. Three goals in his first three La Liga matches has the promoted side sitting pretty in 7th with a win & two draws from their opening 3 games.

A fantastic watch. I’ve always been fascinated by Josè and his career. It really did feel like he had the game in the palm of his hand for a few years at his peak.

Full time: Celtic 1-0 Dundee. A second half header from Nygren is all that could separate both sides. A win is a win for Celtic but performance levels will have to greatly increase ahead of LASK in the Champions League playoff round in a matter of weeks. Dundee were well organised & played well.

🆕✍️ | I’m launching a new weekly column. I’ll never come even 1% close to the great Hugh McIlvanney but he has inspired the name. McFadden On Football: The Monday Review will be a weekly look back at the biggest stories from the weekend’s football. First column out shortly.

First games of the new SPFL Championship season today. I’m at Cappielow for Morton vs Patrick Thistle. Manchester United loanee Elyh Harrison makes his Morton debut in goal. He could be busy today against a Patrick side who are much fancied for promotion this season.

All in all, a successful night. An outstanding standard of swimming with several commonwealth games records smashed. On to the cycling on Sunday 👏

Full time: @MotherwellFC 2-0 @hbtorshavn. Goals either side of halftime from Moormann and Fadinger secure a debut win for Alfred Johansson in charge of Motherwell. His side will head to the Faroe Islands with a two goal cushion next week. Job done!

New season and a new press box at Hearts. Looking forward to taking in the game this evening between the Jambos and Rayo Vallecano. One of my favourite players across European football in recent seasons has been Isi Palazon at Vallecano so it’ll be nice to watch him live.

To think a certain English newspaper tried to push this narrative pre tournament… Where would England be without Bellingham?

Vozinha makes his World Cup debut at 40 years of age in goal against the European Champions and keeps a clean sheet to help Cape Verde - in their first ever World Cup - earn a famous 0-0 draw. As debuts go that is sensational 👏

🆕🎙️ | It was a pleasure to be a guest on Track Radio again this morning on @sannyr.com’s morning show. We discussed all things Scotland at the World Cup and John McGinn - and the random fact that his dad was my English teacher in secondary school 😂.

Wow. To see @LewisHamilton win his first Grand Prix with Ferrari is a truly special moment. Statistically, he is the greatest driver of all time and he continues to showcase his immense talent even into his 40’s. 👏

The Azteca is one of the most special venues in world football. For Pele and Maradona to have won the World Cup there in decades gone by makes it even more iconic. Can’t wait for the football to get started! #WorldCup

Full credit to Crystal Palace on winning the Conference league. Oliver Glasner has done an incredible job at the club. He delivered the clubs first major trophy with the FA Cup, backed that up with the community shield & now a major European honour. What a way to bow out! 👏

Season 25/26.

Overnight stay at Seamill Hydro. Jock Stein used to bring the Lisbon Lions here to train before big matches to escape the noise and attention the team received when in Glasgow.

Before Celtic’s 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Cup semi final, I had the privilege of spending a day at Lennoxtown watching Martin O’Neill, Shaun Maloney, Mark Fotheringham & wider staff at work. It was clear there was a fierce determination among players & staff ahead of the split. They deserve this! 👏

A fantastic Sunday evening of @TheMasters. For Rory McIlroy, winning the Masters is like waiting on a bus, you wait so long for one then two come along at once. He becomes only the fourth golfer in history to win back to back masters after Nicklaus, Faldo & Woods. Sublime! 👏

My brother in law is visiting from Sydney so we are off to Celtic Park today for the game. A rare opportunity to watch the game as a fan from the stands rather than working. Looking forward to it! ⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hard not to be impressed by Cesc Fabregas and his @Como_1907 side. Five nil winners over Pisa in impressive fashion. Nico Paz immense. A club on the up in every sense. ⚽️🇮🇹

What an experience. It was everything that I wanted it to be & more ❤️ @acmilan ran out 3-2 winners over @TorinoFC_1906 in the end. A pleasure to watch Luka Modric play live again. An absolute maestro. I’m off to watch @Como_1907 host @PisaSC today before flying home! ⚽️🇮🇹
