Was Douglas Ross assaulted in parliament in a row about seagulls? We don't know.
We do know it's all a good excuse to share Liam Kirkaldy's brilliant piece from the latest Nutmeg about the seagull that invaded Dundee United's European night against UNA Strassen.
"The longer it stayed, the more the interest spread. Play continued uninterrupted, but after a few minutes, most of Tannadice was fixated. As United pressed the Luxemburgers into their box, in front of the East Stand the bird made a path for the vacated space at the other end. Anticipation grew in the crowd.
‘Oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!’ came the cheer, with noise growing in volume and intensity as it approached. Then it landed. Elation broke.
“SeaGULL! Sea-GULL!! Sea-GULL!!!”, the fans chanted."
