After the delights of the League Cup Final, attention in Scottish football returns to league action this weekend, with the champions having a Sunday noon kick-off at Dundee United. This is the first time we have played United since January 2023, when goals from Jota and an Aaron Mooy penalty were enough to take the points back to Glasgow.
United are back to a more accustomed 4th placed in the Premiership table. They had an epic encounter of their own last weekend, losing 4-3 at Motherwell, in a match they dominated. It would be a mistake, however, to assume they are porous at the back.
Since a 2-2 draw on the opening game of the season, they have only lost more than one goal in five games this season across all competitions. Three of those games were against Motherwell. They manage to stop most opponents from creating too many good chances.
Aberdeen are on a five game losing streak which has seen their title aspirations replaced with hopes of a top three finish. They face Hibs tomorrow, no doubt still suffering PTSD from conceding two added-time equalisers at Easter Road a month ago. Jimmy Thelin is having his credentials examined.
After their second 3-3 victory over Celtic in 2024, Newco have spent the week reflecting on how improved they are. That was a perilous condition for them in April, we’ll see if have changed their internal narrative this time.

Just watched the highlights on Sportscene . Looked well offside, and the extremely dodgy lines shown on Sportscene to ‘prove’ it did nothing of the sort . Dundee players didn’t make much of a complaint though .
No doubt Tony Docherty will demand the audio from VAR and ,along with the rest of Europe, it will be headline news for at least a week .
Defo a penalty for all you lurking huns!!!
Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I’ve just watched the Sportscene “analysts” of our league cup victory.
It appears Shortie thinks putting a pair of specs on Scott Allan makes him articulate and intelligent 😂

Not quite sure what qualifications ye need to get the gig on Sportscene

Sportscene interview….
Whit school did ye go to
And
How much was your ebt….
Think Usyk has edged it
but as with Scottish football you dont always see things the way the referees do
Usyk by uninamous decision
And like Celtic FC still Champions
Usyk wins again.
Not as good a fight as the first IMHO.
If Tyson Fury hadn’t done his road work from the back seat of a Cadillac … he might have won.
One good slap to get moving and you could’ve surfed his belly.

—————
Fury is an embarrassment to professional sport and shite boxer. Delighted he’s been beaten by a proper boxer, again!
Liking it,huns first up on sportscene. Plenty of spare seats.
Thought Fury just edged that fight…
31003- not an expert but I thought it was closer ,I go with Johnny Nelson’s take,great pundit
Just seen the huns goal !!
the lines drawn have used the defenders ouitstretched arm to prove the decision with his middle finger being level with cerny !!
Hunbelieveable!

Phil
never lost by 4 rounds…
From the BBCs Kal Sajad, who clearly doesn’t have a clue about boxing. As Fury is not technically gifted…
In a rematch billed as Usyk v Fury ‘reignited’, the sport’s two most technically gifted heavyweights served up another classic and showcased elite level boxing
Morning Timland – tough match at Tannadice, I’m only seeing one winner though.
AULDHEID @ 5:36 PM,
Sorry to hear about your illness – glad the prognosis is positive.
Keep that indefatigable spirit going and you’ll get through this.
Best Wishes.
Hail Hail
Morning all from a wintry Argyll & Bute.
Looking forward to today’s game in the pub.
Good morning all from Govanhill. Gerrintaethum Celtic!!!!
