Show-off

The Scotsman goes literary on the sports pages. I make it four references in three sentences (here):
"Where art thou Romanov? He's here, he's there, he's everywhere to personally welcome Tartan Army to town

ALAN PATTULLO

LITHUANIA is where the fictional psychopath Hannibal Lecter was born, but the surprising absence of a grisly ending last night gave Scotland cheer in what previously has been considered a heart of darkness."

Shakespeare, Dickens, Harris, Conrad. Altogether excessive. A fan with a typewriter and a literary ambition. Does he think the Tartan Army cares?
