The Scottish Sun a dodgy english tabloid with a small name change to make out that it is a scottish paper.

It is basically just The Sun with very few scottish articles and more on scottish sport (well, Rangers/Celtic). There are many good and bad points about this: mostly bad but can only be fully understood after actually reading it.
You will often find a extremely pointless front page article showing that they couldn't find anything better to put in, for example with the foot and mouth crisis in the UK, their main headline was about their disgust at a website where you cull sheep, WHO CARES! it was just a joke website -not to be taken seriously.

Its hard to see if Page 3 is good or bad, you get a page 3 girl plus some funny articles about (basically) stupid people. Bizarre is also a regualar feature in the sun about showbiz. I dont know whether to trust it. About every week they have a new Exclusive on how All Saints have split up and then the same day they are on the news saying they haven't. Another annoying thing about Bizarre is the utter hypocritical views. One week they are attacking pop and backing rock bands like U2, Limp Bizkit etc the next week, they are hyping up HearSay, Britney Spears etc and telling us some rubbish about Atomic Kitten we dont care about, and if they can't find anything else to print we will probably get a picture of barbie girl Jordan.

As I said in Scotland it is the scottish sun. The sport section of this is 90% Rangers and Celtic with the nickname given to it as 'The Hun'. If there is ever an article about the other scottish club it is mostly slagging them. One small good part of the sport section is Bill Leckie s column. A good humourous look at certain things in scottish football with a less bias toward the glasgow pair.
