Motherwell's Phil O'Donnell dies after just being subsituted in a his match.

Terrible news- I remember Phil O'Donnell playing in the 1991 Scottish Cup Final and scoring one of Motherwell's goals in their 4-3 win over Dundee United at Hampden Park.

yes very sad. There's been a call for an inquiry into the long term effects of sports energy drinks in the scottish media.

Most Scottish games have been postponed for a week.

There seems to often be tragedies in Scottish soccer which is way out of proportion for their small population.

A few players have died on the pitch through the years, others have died prematurely through sudden illness, or accidents the Scotland manager died of a heart attack at the end of a World Cup Qualifier (Jock Stein 1985).

Then there are young wives of (then) current players who have died.

Overall a very sad picture.
