Several Fantastic Howlers Made Thursday's Europa League Action Special

The Europa League is full of fun. Half of that fun comes from spectacular goals scored by talented professionals, bringing us joy.

The Old Firm is always lit, and this weekend's contest was no exception. Celtic won, sure, but the play of the game was undoubtedly Rangers midfielder Josh Windass' slide tackle on his own manager, Pedro Caixinha.

The two shared a laugh afterward, but we can't help but wonder if Windass will have to run a few extra wind sprints in training this week.

Now, if you'll excuse us, we're going to go back to giggling like schoolchildren at the name "Windass".
