Ipswich Town say captain Sam Morsy did not wear a rainbow armband during the Premier League loss at Nottingham Forest because of religious beliefs.
There is no shock in seeing Callum McGregor's Celtic top of the Premiership table, but it is somewhat surprising to catch the captain's name leading the scoring charts. A deep-lying midfielder, the six league goals the 31-year-old has scored this term is more than any other player in Scotland's top flight. The most recent of those strikes came on Saturday against Ross County, a stunning 20-yard effort in a 5-0 win.
Ruud van Nistelrooy arrived a few minutes late for his first news conference as Leicester manager. The 48-year-old can be forgiven, though, as he quickly adjusts to life at the Foxes. Van Nistelrooy shook journalists' hands and introduced himself, waving at those with cameras at the back of the room and joking that he will try to remember everyone's names.
Morsy was the only captain not to wear the armband during Rainbow Laces weekend, with Ipswich revealing the player’s decision was due to his religious beliefs
