Former Celtic centre-half Ramon Vega has formally requested the Scottish Football Association’s endorsement for his campaign to remove Gianni Infantino from the presidency of FIFA. The veteran defender, who has long criticized the global governing body’s leadership, believes that the SFA’s institutional weight is necessary to legitimize his challenge against the controversial figurehead. This move marks a significant escalation in Vega’s efforts to influence international football governance, shifting the focus from individual advocacy to a potential institutional confrontation with one of the sport’s most powerful entities.

In a separate development within the Scottish Premiership, Aberdeen manager Stephen Robinson has confirmed that the club currently lacks the financial resources to sign free agents to address their ongoing defensive injury crisis. Robinson’s admission highlights the tight budgetary constraints facing the Dons as they navigate a difficult stretch of the season. This financial limitation forces the management to rely on internal squad depth rather than external reinforcements, a strategy that could be tested by upcoming fixtures against top-tier opposition.
Meanwhile, the broader Scottish football landscape continues to see player movement and managerial milestones. Calvin Ramsay, currently on loan at St Mirren, has expressed no regrets about his recent stint at Liverpool, viewing the fleeting appearances as valuable experience. Simultaneously, midfielder Findlay Marshall revealed that being told his career at Aberdeen was ending by former manager Jimmy Thelin provided the psychological “jolt” needed to refocus his professional trajectory. These developments underscore the complex interplay between player development, managerial decisions, and club financial realities in Scottish football.
