 Two men were arrested after a Thomson Airways flight from London to Mexico was forced to divert to Bermuda. The Boeing 787-8 departed from London Gatwick at around 9:40 am yesterday and was seven-and-a-half hours into its flight when it landed at LF Wade International Airport in Bermuda. Six police cars met the plane on landing, and officers entered the grounded aircraft and removed the passengers. Rangers legend John Brown takes a predictable view of the Angusish dream, saying Celtic have a case of sour grapes. In 1989, Brown was part of the Ibrox side that contested an Old Firm Scottish Cup final against Celtic, which they won with two trophies already banked. Ten seconds later, Joe Miller had fired home the only goal of the game.
