CELTIC manager Ronny Deila under a bit of pressure after losing to Aberdeen the other night. Bookies Paddy Power have put former Manchester United star Ryan Giggs as odds-on favourite to be the next Celtic boss. We don't know an awful lot about betting but we reckon putting money on Sir Alex Ferguson to take over at Celtic, even though Paddy Power list him at a generous 50/1, is perhaps throwing your money away.

WE mentioned the courts official declaring that Lord Lucan was dead. A reader in Partick phones to tell us: "I heard that Lord Lucan's family had petitioned the court because he was about to be declared fit for work by Ian Duncan Smith's Work and Pensions Department."

MEMORIES of referee Tom "Tiny" Wharton continued. Says entertainer Andy Cameron: "Jinky Johnstone had an altercation with Rangers player Thor Beck at an Old Firm game at Ibrox and was called over by Tiny who demanded of the wee man, 'name?' Jinky was not for complying by the rules and said, 'Roy Rogers'. 'Well Mr Rogers, if you go up the tunnel you'll find Trigger waiting to take you home' said Mr Wharton."

AS others see us. We mentioned a joke about Scots printed in an American newspaper. A reader sends us another American newspaper clipping which states: "Do you know the first people in the UK to have double glazing were the Scots? It was so their bairns couldn't hear the ice cream vans."

OUR story about the difficulties of having teenage children brings forth from a Clarkston reader: "If my kids knew there was a light in the oven, they'd leave that one on too."

TENSIONS can occasionally run high in offices. We feel Ian Power's pain as he comments: "A colleague keeps clicking his pen. It's sounding more and more like 'please kill me' in Morse Code."

GORDON Michie sees a letter in a free newspaper yesterday which he feels needs wider distribution. It states: "I'm an overweight Ayrshireman hoping to form a David Bowie tribute band focussing on the legendary performer's Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars period. To complete the line-up of Piggy Lard-ass and the Sniders from Largs I'll need a guitarist, bass player and drummer. Any offers?"

A READER hears a young woman in a Glasgow bar declare: "There are no words that strike greater fear into my heart than 'you've been tagged in a picture on Facebook'."
