American politics has been eerily quiet so far this year – so quiet we've been starting to wonder what's happening over there.

But now we've finally got a huge scoop straight out of Washington that's going to take the whole world by storm. Are you ready? It looks like Barack Obama might be a Motherwell fan. https://twitter.com/chay_caldwell/status/826029956148891648

  As far as we can tell, Obama has never mentioned having any support for Motherwell before, so either this is a new thing of his, or he's just been keeping his Scottish football allegiances under wraps until now. In fact, it's always been thought that he was a West Ham fan, although maybe he's been turned off the club by the recent move to the Olympic Stadium... Obama's got a little bit of time on his hands these days, so Fir Park regulars, we're relying on you to keep an eye out for a certain former President getting a bit rowdy in the stands.
