It remains a possibility that Atletico Madrid will lose today’s league decider against Barcelona and next week’s Champions League final against Real Madrid (vernacular: ‘do a Hearts), but I hope not. The fact that they have pushed the two most celebrated football clubs on the planet to the limit, across two tournaments, is already remarkable. Should they deliver on two fronts, it will be the most stunning achievement in European football in 47 years.
There was a healthy amount of bloodlust for the Uefa Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules to fine the life out of the likes of Manchester City and Paris St Germain, before banning them from Uefa competition. This was never the point.
What Uefa have done is bring Europe’s two most freely spending clubs into line. FFP will restrict City and PSG’s expenditure, transfer market activity and squad selection. This is a result.
It’s a pity we’re not at Celtic Park to lift the Scottish Cup today. *!*!

Dundee Utd have been poor and have not played as well as they can. It is a Cup Final though and anything can happen, especially as it is just 1-0. Ryan Gauld has not even touched the ball since he came on, well it seems that way to me, but, it only takes one nano second in Time to change everything.
This is not over yet!!!!
I don’t think May is anywhere near as good as he thinks he is.
Is that wee Rocket from Soccer AM came on for St J AWAYYYY
At least Armstrong has a fine set of hair. He could replace Sammi in those shampoo adverts.
Starry is right eventually 12 mins left.
May will do fine at a club like St Johnstone or some team in the lower leagues in England but not good enough for Celtic I would say.

10 mins to go. Utd need to come up wi an answer pdq
