Scottish FA chief football officer Craig Mulholland is reportedly forced to rethink his youth football plans after three Premiership clubs raised concerns about under-21 Scotland-eligible players starting in both the Scottish Cup and Premier Sports Cup. Meanwhile, Dundee's Ethan Hamilton insists he gave no thought to leaving the club in the summer, despite Aberdeen making transfer bids. Hamilton, a former Manchester United youth midfielder, points out he still has 18 months left on his contract.
In other news, former Sweden international Anders Limpar suggests Premier League clubs should queue to sign Benjamin Nygren, describing the Celtic midfielder as an ideal cheap option to help Manchester United out of their current crisis. Leading academics have also called on the Scottish Government to consider comprehensive restrictions on alcohol sports sponsorship after a study revealed the extent to which young people and children were exposed to alcohol advertising during Scotland's World Cup campaign.
