Among supporters there is a perception that “real” fans often miss out on high-profile matches thanks to tickets pocketed by liggers, sponsors, and the “secondary market” (AKA legalised touts).

And finally... Girls and Bhoys

Over to Thailand for an odd tribute to Celtic and Wales’ Joe Ledley. A class of Thai school kids sing along to their teacher’s acoustic guitar belting out the immortal lines: “Joe is a midfield king, and he makes us want to sing… and Joe burns, burns, burns.” We're saying nothing. But which legendary song is the weirdness set to?
