Winning pair

Following Sunday's last minute heroics by Motherwell, Jean-Alain Boumsong can now add a Scottish Premiership winners medal to his collection. He, of course, joins Celestine Babayro as Newcastle players who've managed to pocket a league winners medal this season, despite our collective drought.

Whether Craig Bellamy can add a Scottish Cup Winners medal to that tally remains to be seen, but at least it's Boumsong who pockets the league winners medal and not Bellamy – a result that will no doubt see one time Rangers boss Graeme Souness enjoy a quiet chuckle.

Whether it prompted Alan Shearer to send Bellamy a text message or not is unconfirmed.
