The letter which was sent to Louise Gould

You may recall his daughter Louise who worked for Celtic TV during the Ange Postecoglou era.
The sports media and PR professional also worked with Postecoglou at Spurs but she reckoned the letter she received to mark the happy day with new husband Christian Fuller this weekend was "the best wedding letter to receive".
Sharing it on X, Gould wrote: "Thank you Celtic. One a Celtic, always a Celt."
The note, entitled 'Congratulations on your Wedding Day' and signed by Rodgers himself, read: "On behalf of myself, the team, and everyone else at Celtic Football Club we would like to wish you huge congratulations on your wedding day.
"We hope it's a joyous and memorable occasion as you begin your life together, with many happy years ahead.
"Thank you for being such a passionate supporter of Celtic Football Club and may your journey together in life be like Paradise.
"Enjoy your special day and celebration of love.
"We wish you every health and happiness together.
"Best wishes, Brendan Rodgers."
Meanwhile, a former Celtic full back has just completed a move to PAOK Salonika in Greece ... but that man ISN'T Greg Taylor.

The Greek outfit have widely been listed as the favourites to snap up the Scotland man - or at least they were until SunSport broke the news this weekend that FC Copenhagen had entered the bidding.
And now news is emerging that PAOK are snapping up a forgotten Hoops star for one of their full back positions.
That man is Jonjoe Kenny, who had a rather underwhelming stint at Celtic during their failed attempt to win ten in a row.
That was during a loan spell from Everton but, now 28, the former England Under-21 cap is coming off a three year stint at Hertha Berlin in Germany.

Festivals given £3m in Government funding

The events will receive a share of the £2.8 million Festivals Expo Fund, and Festivals Edinburgh will get £200,000 from Creative Scotland for branding and marketing support for the events in the capital. The Expo Fund spending has increased from £1.7 million last year. The Edinburgh Festival Fringe will receive £670,000, while the Edinburgh International Book Festival will be given £200,000, the same amount as for the Scottish International Storytelling Festival. Culture Secretary Angus Robertson said: 'Scotland's festivals are our cultural shopfront to the rest of the world. 'As well as offering performers and creatives an unrivalled international platform, they also deliver an annual economic uplift to businesses, jobs and livelihoods right across the country. 'This year's funding increase for the existing Expo festivals cohort represents an increase of £1 million across the 14 festivals in Glasgow and Edinburgh, the first in 10 years. 'It recognises the success of festivals in shaping and supporting hundreds of commissions, enhancing the ambitions of thousands of Scottish artists and attracting audiences in the millions for Expo-supported work since the fund's creation in 2007. 'From this foundation we will expand the reach of the Expo fund across the whole of Scotland, and I am working with festivals across the country through the strategic festivals partnership to realise this commitment.' Dana MacLeod, executive director of arts, communities and inclusion at Creative Scotland, welcomed the funding, saying it will enable festivals to 'commission bold ideas, develop creative collaborations and present high-quality programmes for audiences in Scotland and internationally'. Lori Anderson, director of Festivals Edinburgh, said: 'Today's announcement is welcome news for our festivals and for Scotland's cultural sector, ensuring that the guiding principle of the Scottish Government's Festivals Expo Fund – to showcase Scottish talent to the world on the country's premier festival platforms – continues to successfully support creative careers.'

A further complication is Athens' Olympic Stadium is getting roof repairs, but Panathinaikos have received reassurances from the Greek government that work will be delayed until after the game.

Rangers, meanwhile, are preparing contract talks with top asset Nico Raskin. New Ibrox boss Russell Martin is determined to build his team around the Belgian midfield dynamo. The little Belgian is approaching the final two years of his current deal — and a growing number of clubs are looking at him. He cost £1.75million when arriving from Standard Liege in January 2023 and his value is soaring. Both sporting director Kevin Thelwell and the Ibrox club's new US owners are determined to construct a far better transfer model. Ally McCoist confesses to 'horrendous' epic fail ahead of final day of Rangers legend's charity bike ride And they know there's a need to protect the club's interests while rewarding Raskin with increased terms.
