Another lovely piece of writing from Leither @danielgraywriter.bsky.social - his evening out watching Scotland somehow beat Greece last Thursday.

Take a bow @danielgraywriter.bsky.social. The most lyrical, yet also the most accurate match report of the Scotland v Greece game that you will read.

“Gannon-Doak on the left is a gift unopened and a toy kept in its box. It is a crime thriller missing its final page and bubble wrap un-popped.” There is noone who does match reports like @danielgraywriter.bsky.social. Every line of this is genius.
