The Herald has binned any pretentions to be a serious publisher with a hilarious take on today’s World Cup Final.
With dozens of secondary storylines alongside the obvious Messi tale the Glasgow based publisher almost turned parody as they picked up on one of Alex McLeish’s great near-misses.
According to his own recollections the former Ibrox boss was the first person to pick up on Messi’s ability to play football, unfortunately there is no record of how his request to take him on loan to Ibrox was received by Barcelona.
It seems that no progress was made with Barca or the great man himself about playing in the hole between Gavin Rae and Kris Boyd.

Messi did get to play at Ibrox in 2007 against the might of Walter Smith’s bus parkers, fortunately he has other footballing memories of Glasgow and Scotland.
The Messi story that @Herald_Sport_ won’t be touching.

Go back to Friday! Two games to look forwards to at the weekend. Celtic at Aberdeen and Argentina in the World Cup Final. Here’s hoping!
Well Aberdeen, reads like a comic strip. El Capitana returns after two months out. On the edge of our seats until 87 minutes and the Captain fires one in from the edge of the box! Celtic grab the points!
Then today, Argentina attack, on the front foot, from the start. They go two up but Le Francais equal it out as Argentiana tire towards the end of of ninety minutes!
Then Argentina take the game to France in Extra – time and lead 3-2.
But Le Francais equalise and force a PS!
The rest is history! You can’t stop history. Messi is a football legend – and he deserves it!
It is then that you know you are supporting the right teams – and you’re a winner!!
Have a good week!
At last the Aberdeen Press & Journal’s ‘North East Man Lost at Sea’ headline when the Titanic sunk has been beaten.
