STILL GAME'S TAM IS IDEAL DATE BAIT

HE might be an unlikely sex symbol but Still Game's Tam Mullen has appeared on dating site Plenty Of Fish.
The Criaglang pensioner might be attached to librarian Francis but that hasn't apparently stopped him advertising his wares online.
We're not sure if the cheeky punter who put up his pic on their profile has had much success in the pulling stakes yet but at 70 Tam who is a hospital DJ isn't exactly the ideal date material as his miserly ways mean you'll be the one paying for the drinks.
One time he even pretended he had bad arthritis which prevented him getting his hand into his pocket.
As a pal of Jack, Victor and of course Winston he has a solid group of pals but don't expect big night out - he likes to spend time in the pub and the bookies.
Actor Mark Cox who plays the character claims he had nothing to do with the dating profile but he joked: "Smashing-Get him Pumped!"

SCOTS INTERNET SENSATION GRANNIE ANNIE PASSES AWAY

Beloved Scots You Tube star pensioner Grannie Annie has passed away - leaving hundreds of thousands of fans of her comedy devastated.
The news was broken online by her grandson Tommy Ga-Ken Wan who lovingly called her the funniest woman in the west.
Grannie Annie, was often referred to as the Swearing Granny and passed away in Ayr Hospice leaving behind her husband of 50 years Trevor.



She accumulated thousands of hits on You Tube and her Facebook video commanded an impressive amount of likes and shares after she first appeared online in 2011.
Her videos were even subtitled for those who didn't live in Scotland and she became famous for her rants beyond her neighbourhood as a result. Grandson Tommy who posted her many videos online said: "She had a foul mouth and a heart of gold. To me she was Nana Ann, to get fans she was Grannie Annie. Rest in piece ya auld bugger. Hearing the news Dang Mcwhinnie from Coatbridge said: "That's heartbreaking. Wee Grannie Annie."
Natalie Ellen Allan added: "RIP grannie Annie We all love you. You will be so sadly missed. You gave us comedy and never failed to make us laugh. Thoughts are with the family." Jo Donaldson from Springburn was also upset and said: "Ah man, genuinely sad to hear about Grannie Annie passing away. One of my favourite YouTube videos of all time that I came across by accident years ago. RIP Grannie Annie." And Craig McClurkin even said: "Am gonna email ma lecturer saying am no coming in because of this."

TROYE SIVAN SHOWS CARING SHARING SIDE AT GLASGOW GIG

Beverley Lyons
TROYE Sivan showed he was a caring sharing kind of guy when he invited lucky fans who had missed out on tickets to his sell out show in Glasgow at the weekend.
The South African-born Australian singer, songwriter, actor and YouTuber met some fans as he popped out for a Starbucks and a shopping trip on Sauchiehall Street and put them on his guest list after hearing they were unable to get prizes briefs for his sold out QMU show.
The twenty year old star was met by screams as he played his first ever gig in Scotland at the weekend on his Blue Neighbourhood tour - and he even attempted a Scots accent.
Troy who featured as a young James Howkett in X-Men Origins: Wolverine thrilled with his cute charm and self penned songs like For Him, Fools, Youth, Too Good, Talk Me Down and Ease.
He told the crowd it was only his third or fourth day in Europe and that he apologised if his pants were falling down - because he's forgotten his belt.
No one seemed to complain.
After hearing the chants of here we f***ing go, he told the audience: "When I go to other places I'll be like, do you know what Glasgow said to me? Why can't you guys be as cool as Glasgow was?"
He even managed to try his hand at the local patois by saying: "Are you coming oot on the town to get mad wi it?"
Troy entertained and stayed at the Glasgow Uni Queen Margaret Union till the wee small hours after his gig.
After seeing him in the flesh no one needed to take a Happy Little Pill.
Troy hasn't yet tweeted, instagrammed or snapchatted about his first experience in Scotland but we reckon it's just a matter of time...
