Seems to have had an engine problem like it was surging.

Embarrassingly all Scottish media and even the BBC is reporting as the wing being on fire

The article you quote as the cause of your embarrassment about inaccurate reporting clearly states:

footage has emerged on social media of flames around the aircraft's wing.

It appears that statement is completely accurate, especially from any journalist with negligible specific aviation knowledge. The only inaccurate reporting is your claim the wording was "the wing being on fire" in the BBC report. Obviously there could be embarrassment at making false reports and accusations, however not for the BBC on this occasion.
