My dear old granny died on Saturday afternoon.
At least, that’s what I told organisers of the Motherwell FC Player of the Year event I was due to host just hours after a 6-0 trouncing at Celtic Park.
Yep, the Europa League Final wasn’t the ONLY big football event this week. (And thank goodness for that, dear reader, as your fitba’-daft columnist had a Wednesday lunchtime deadline ahead of last night’s 8pm kick-off in Seville.)
