Painkiller Scandal & Old Firm Sparks - Saturday, February 28, 2026
The Daily Record on Saturday, February 28, 2026, prominently features a "Pensioner Painkillers Scandal." A distressing image of 91-year-old former boxer George Maguire illustrates his family's claim that he was "doped up" in hospital with unprescribed potent painkillers, leaving him "like a zombie." Inside the paper, a health chiefs' probe and apologies to affected families are reported. In sports, "Old Firm D-Day" is highlighted with a serious portrait of Rangers boss Danny Rohl stating, "Celts aren't top dogs.. they've lost 7 matches." Martin O'Neill, pictured with a critical expression, retorts that Rohl "sounds like a fan.. not the boss of Rangers," intensifying the rivalry ahead of their football clash, as further explored inside the paper. Additional national stories, also reported inside the paper, include the Green Party's significant by-election win and calls for Labour leader Keir Starmer's resignation.
