As he is expected to do - he's the head of a Unionist party after all. If @theSNP & @JohnSwinney have run out of road on securing an Indy ref, then they should have said so before the election in May. If he won't force their hand by just organising a referendum, then time to go.
Burnham blocks the Scottish Government's mandate from the May election - before he was even an MP.
Scots will not tolerate this democratic outrage indefinitely. Something will tip.
#ScottishIndependence urgently needed
Couldn't agree more. We've a habit of biting the hand in cases like this. Yeah, we aren't going to get his true value due to the length of time left on his contract, but you're not telling me other clubs wouldn't be sniffing about? Bargain for Ipswich.
Final year of his contract but only getting £10m is bizarre, also probably the first bid Ipswich have made for him 😂
A proper club would be holding out for at least £15m
Celtic have made an enquiry for Real Oviedo winger Haissem Hassan.
The Hoops are keen to bring the Egypt international to Glasgow after an impressive display at the World Cup & they’re exploring the conditions of a potential deal.
Hassan, 24, has one-year left on his contract.
UPDATE: Ipswich Town have held talks to sign Celtic forward Daizen Maeda.
It’s understood the clubs discussed the conditions of a possible deal and the Hoops are awaiting a formal offer.

It has been the greatest privilege of my life, coming from humble beginnings in Tottenham, to serve in government as @Keir_Starmer’s Foreign Secretary, Justice Secretary and Britain’s first Black Deputy Prime Minister.
I am immensely proud of what we achieved, in Opposition and in Government.
As Foreign Secretary and Deputy Prime Minister, I helped rebuild Britain’s relationships with our European allies after the catastrophic Brexit years, stood steadfastly with Ukraine in its darkest hours, championed a new partnership of equals with the Global South and was proud to play a leading role in Britain’s recognition of the State of Palestine.
I worked to secure the Special Relationship with the United States in a new era and deepened our partnerships with the Gulf and India to deliver trade, growth and security for the British people.
As Justice Secretary and Lord Chancellor, I put record investment in our courts to begin stabilising the backlog for victims left waiting too long for justice, put in changes to take our prisons back from the brink to prevent a collapse in prison capacity ever again, put massive investment in the probation service and victims and helped deliver the Hillsborough Law.
I also put in place a new approach to improving the diversity of our judiciary and made the Ministry of Justice a Whitehall leader in harnessing the potential of artificial intelligence.
I would have been proud to continue serving in Cabinet. But a new Prime Minister is entitled to build his own team, and I wish @AndyBurnham and the new Cabinet every success.
I will continue to serve the great people of Tottenham, support this Labour government from the backbenches and do everything I can to help defeat Reform again at the next general election.
John needs to get the fuck on with delivering what he promised. If there's no referendum by the end of this Scots parliament, I and many others, will refuse to vote @theSNP any longer. No more mandates. End of the line @JohnSwinney
John Swinney has issued a stark warning to the incoming new prime minister, urging Andy Burnham not to 'repeat the mistakes of his predecessors' and accept that the people of Scotland’s want for self-determination 'cannot simply be wished away' https://t.co/lC8qewx1Ty
🚨BREAKING: Five Palestinians, including a young boy and a girl, were killed after an Israeli airstrike targeted a residential apartment in the Al-Nasr neighborhood, west of Gaza City.
When the perpetrator is a white Christian man and the victim is a brown Sikh woman, funny how all of those details are left out of western media headlines.
Bursaspor up to their eyes in debt. Their top three players earn as follows...
Emir Kaan Gültekin: £9,800 per week
Halil Akbunar: £4,900 per week
Rahmetullah Berişbek: £4,900 per week
... yet we're to believe they are paying Iheanacho £47,000 per week? More Celtic board lies.
Martin better be in there tomorrow morning demanding answers, because he's going to be getting questioned himself over today's absolute shambles. 2nd division Turkish sides, players begging to come but giving up... There's something else at play here.
@PaulJohnDykes Without knowing the ins & outs of contract negotiations a fair judgement cannot b reached on outcomes. The idea a Celtic CEO has power over agents & players is delusional.
https://t.co/JZYvm9lqlN & all CEOs r up against it in the real world but hey no slack shall be cut for MN.
🗣️ “Iheanacho keeps asking me! ‘What do you think, are they going to keep me on?’”
Kelechi Iheanacho was pestering Martin O’Neill for a new deal in May.
Celtic gambled by not activating an extension to re-negotiate his wages.
They’ve now lost out to a Turkish second tier side.
Kelechi Iheanacho will not be returning to Celtic this summer.
The Nigerian striker, who scored nine goals last season, has joined Bursaspor on a three-year deal.
