Standards, standards. Or even Standard Liege.
Fraser Wilson had the Belgian side in his thoughts when he was asked to fill a space in the Daily Record.
Online you get a second chance to correct mistakes or even press delete if you have made a complete Jeremy Hunt of yourself.
Looking back two years to the happy and glorious Lockdown season was enough to provide Wilson with the solution to Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s problems.
Get Kemar in the side- with the easy option of a Raise The Roofe headline to amuse the Army of Bears reading the Glasgow based newspaper.
Woops, as my former boss often said ‘You just can’t get the staff these days’ and you can’t Delete a paper copy…. pic.twitter.com/ipEDOkBAG3

Just one problem for the Record and their pet club. Pesky UEFA red tape only allows clubs to register 25 players with four having to come through the ranks and four from other Scottish clubs.
In order to accommodate Rabbi Matondo, Malik Tilman, Ridvan Yilmav and the rest of the Imaginative Summer Signings some players had to make way.
Not too long ago someone on work experience would have tapped Wilson on the shoulder and reminded him that Roofe won’t be playing today against Napoli, a sub-editor or Sports Editor would have pulled it and warned the author to try a little homework. Roofe isn’t eligible.
Tonight 66,000 Record readers will be hoping that Roofe makes the starting line up, at some stage next year circulation is likely to crash below the significant 55,000 mark.
Roofe and Filip Helander were crocked at the start of September, with the group stage ending on November 2 there wasn’t much point in listing him with UEFA when Alfredo Morelos, Antonio Colak, Fashion Sakala and Ryan Kent are scoring for fun.
There could be one benefit of fielding ‘Raise the Roofe’ tonight, fielding an ineligible player results in a 0-3 scoreline, right now Mr van Bronckhorst would happily settle for that scoreline.
Can someone circulate this to everyone on the Sports Desk!!!!!
