Rangers fan loses discrimination case as judge rules football is not religion
A Rangers fan has lost his discrimination case after a judge ruled devotion to a football club cannot be classed as religion. Eddie McClung, 51, has failed in an employment tribunal bid to sue two firms for £80,000 after he claimed he was sacked due to his allegiance to the Glasgow club.
Both firms had tried to get the case thrown out at an employment tribunal - but Mr McClung, from Bonnybridge near Falkirk, insisted his connection to Rangers should be considered the same as religion. He claimed his avid allegiance to the Ibrox side was such it should be viewed as 'a way of life' and that instead of going to church he went to watch Rangers.
However, in a landmark case, a court concluded his fanaticism does not constitute a ‘philosophical belief’ in the same way as faith in God.
Lewis Capaldi reveals he has Tourette's and says diagnosis 'makes so much sense'
Scots singing megastar Lewis Capaldi has revealed he has been diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome. The 25-year-old global sensation says he is undergoing treatment, including Botox injections, as he learned to lives with the condition, which is characterised by involuntary sounds and movements known as "tics".
He revealed to fans on Instagram that he was going public with his diagnosis so people didn't think he had been "taking cocaine or something". Capaldi's diagnosis comes days after the famously self-effacing star stripped to his underpants for an international billboard campaign to promote new single Forget Me - his first new song in three years. He admitted that he was relieved to get the diagnosis - after fearing he had a degenerative disease.
Scots Lidl store ceiling collapses in thunderstorm as customers scream and flee
Footage shows the moment the ceiling of a new Lidl supermarket in Edinburgh collapsed during a thunderstorm. The Costorphine store, which has been open for three weeks, was forced to close on Tuesday night after a downpour caused parts of the roof to crumble onto the floor.
Water poured through the gaps in the roof during the storm as screaming customers fled the store to avoid the debris and rainwater. The footage uploaded by local woman Tamara Edgerton shows water pouring down from the roof, and parts of the ceiling already beginning to fall to the floor.
People can be heard outside the store shouting as ceiling tiles fall to the ground and one woman can be heard saying "this is shocking."
Neo-Nazi mob target Scots homes with 'racist poison' as MSP calls for police to investigate
An MSP has called for police to investigate after a far-right group shoved "racist" leaflets through letter boxes in a Scots town. Christina McKelvie hit out after sickening propaganda was dropped on door mats in Larkhall, South Lanarkshire.
The vile leaflets were produced by Patriotic Alternative - a shadowy neo-Nazi mob which wants to remove all non-white people from the UK. The group is known to be active in the west of Scotland and is using the leaflets to openly recruit for members.
Essential PIP tips for DWP assessments in-person, over the phone or by video call
The latest figures from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show that there are nearly three million people across the UK claiming support through Personal Independence Payments (PIP), with just over one in three claimants (35 per cent) receiving the highest level of award.
Of the overall total, 313,620 people living in Scotland are now receiving financial support of between £24.45 and £156.90 each week and as the benefit is paid every four weeks, this amounts to between £97.80 and £627.60 every payment period.
Additional data shared by Minister for Disabled People Chloe Smith, in a written response to a parliamentary question before summer recess, indicates that more PIP assessments are being conducted over the phone (77 per cent) or on paper (16 per cent) using the evidence submitted by the claimant.
