6. Neilson steps up training ahead of Morton test
Hearts training sessions at Riccarton this week have involved extra focus on finishing in anticipation of a resilient opponent at Cappielow Park on Saturday.

7. Gers star 'like Barcelona great'
BT Sport pundit Owen Hargreaves has likened Rangers defender James Tavernier to former Barcelona right-back Dani Alves. Tavernier scored his 15th goal of the season from the spot against Standard Liege in the Gers' 3-2 win and the former Manchester United midfielder said: "Unbelievable, I think Dani Alves would be proud of those numbers – 15 goals and 10 assists."

8. Lennon positive despite defensive frailties
Neil Lennon insisted his team looked good despite surrending a two-goal lead to lose 4-2 to AC Milan. The Celtic boss said: "We looked a good team. Body language was good, attitude was good – coming off the back of a bad result at the weekend. I think the scoreline doesn’t do us justice but we have to take the positives. I’ve got to be happy with a large parts." (The Scotsman) Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
