Is that similar to "The Scottish Sporting News"? I picked up a copy of

I don't know - I've never seen "The Scottish Sporting News"

The "Sunday Sport", as I explained elsewere was pure spoot with a healthy
dollop of soft pron thrown in.

I remember it from the mid-70s when it had a short run on the news
stands. In 76/77 when I was working in NYC I brought a copy back after my
Xmas break in the UK to show to my work colleagues. It somewhat startled
the people I thought of as hard-boiled NewYorkers. It had died by 1979.

However, it seems to have been born again as a subscription online weekly
and is currently available online.

Wikipedia has a page about it, claiming that it was founded in 1986, but
it page's author seems to have never known of its former existence as ink
on newsprint.
