Last week a 14-foot python was discovered in Greenock, because sometimes people just let their exotic pets go. Felicity the Puma wandered into Inverness one day in 1985, and now holds a permanent position at the Inverness Museum. Source.

Statistical sources, disappearance of:
Some of the best online sources of Scottish historical football data are club websites built on the TeamExpert platform which has been around since 2003. The TeamExpert format encourages listmaking, leading some clubs to try to list every game they've ever played. This is ideal and basically the purpose of the internet. (See this page on the Rothes FC site, or this one on Irvine Thistle's.) But nowadays a TeamExpert site looks dated, and clubs upgrade to something shinier but contains only this season's results.
Historical matches:
Feb 9, 1993. Morton visited Ayr United and played them to a scoreless draw.
