    Magnificent away support from Celtic. Can't think of any fans who have travelled here in such numbers. #safc

    Wonderful gesture from @JPickford1 to invite his old #safc mentors Kevin Ball and Mark Prudhoe out to Moscow for tonight’s #WorldCup SF. Says a great deal about him as a person

    Forget the statement, I understand it's done. Alex Neil is going to take the Stoke City job. #safc

    That’ll be because I cover #safc, not NUFC, Tony
    @JHunterChron All these questions about the SAFC takeover, I didn't notice such a reaction from you about the potential takeover of NUFC by a country with such human rights atrocities and the way women are treated.

    #safc have made John Cooke redundant. After 26 years as kit man, six years as a player, not so much as a word of acknowledgement from the club. Very, very, poor. bit.ly/2JAVQip

    Ref's lost control - he's just guessing, really. Dean Whitestone did OK up to kick-off. Handled the coin toss well, made sure there were 11 players on each side, nets properly tensioned etc. Struggled badly since the game started. #safc

    Alex Neil says Bailey Wright was suffering from a sickness bug in the run-up to the final. Trained separately Thurs and Fri, then came down to London on a helicopter. #safc

    Hamstring injury for Mowbray. 'It's painful to be honest. I didn't have a hamstring injury in 18yrs as a player - I wasn't fast enough! 'I'll be at Preston next week, fit or not.' #safc

    Deal agreed for #safc to sign Jack Clarke from Spurs. Understand he could be flying out tomorrow to join the squad in Portugal
