Top-notch journo. Top-notch book
🏆 Great to see Pitch Publishing author @Tim_Vickery on the BBC coverage providing his usual, brilliant insight into South American nations…
📚 …and plugging the quite magnificent Mundiales, which he co-wrote with Mark Biram. More below, including plenty of content and a sample read!

Worth 5 minutes of your time. An incredible interview with a remarkable woman... by a great journalist.
We're so proud to have published Sarah's book. It's a very important story.

Today is the official 150th birthday of Glasgow Times.
Our first edition – when we were known as the Evening Times – was published on June 5, 1876, when the city was a very different place.

🏴✍️ Tyler Fletcher has battled against criticism of nepotism and handouts his entire life as the son of Darren Fletcher.
So proving people wrong at the World Cup is nothing new… and Bruno Fernandes will be championing “goaty” along the way

Was at Broadwood today. He's a genuine Scottish football legend. His record of gathering trophies borders on the absurd. Ten Scottish, nine as manager and one as player. One of the good guys too
