Dundee United and Celtic will both have their minds on longer term outcomes than tomorrow’s Premiership game at Tannadice. For Neil Lennon, it will surely be another opportunity to expose some of his development players to the rigors of first team action. For Jackie McNamara this is a test before arguably their biggest game of the season, next week’s Scottish Cup semi-final.
United are six points off the pace in the neck-and-neck battle between Aberdeen and Motherwell in re Best of the Rest race but face both these teams at home before the end of the season. United’s potentially bigger challenge are the home and away games against the champions. Only the top three are guaranteed European football, so the potential of European revenue, added to the prize more differential (circa £100k per place) will sharpen minds.
For Celtic, the challenge will be to find the edge their opponents will have for tomorrow. I’d look to Liam Henderson, and maybe a couple of his former development squad team mates for this.
We’re well accustomed the nationalist and xenophobic excesses of the UK media but Germany appears shocked at the two biggest selling UK dailies use of the word “schwein” to describe Bastian Schweinsteiger. Anyone who grew up during the decades when war movies dominated our TVs will know the racial context loaded onto this particular term, as it was used in Germany in the 30s and 40s.
Bayern’s ban on the Mirror and Sun is an appropriate rebuff, safe in the knowledge that no Bayern fans will continue to consume news about their club from either newspaper.

Interesting stuff
Eurochamps67 is yer man for the tips, take his selection and put a black line through it, then assess the rest if the field. :-P
For a small flutter later today, the Willie Mullins-trained Prince De Beauchene should give you a run for your €/$/£ !
Then again it is The Grand National !!!
Best wishes to Jobo’s wean ;-).
Well done Philbhoy’s wife…

You can add my selection to that blacklist.
I couldnae tip a waiter at the minute.
A LIGHT INSANITY
Have you had a go at the cherry juice yet?
Or did you opt for the mallet instead?
I went to the doctors bmcuw. Better off with the mallet I think. I am cherried out too.
Any day the Celts are playing gives me a buzz. Hope O’Connell plays today, these last few games should be about unearthing new talent and we the supporters need to be tolerant about the results. We have Champions League football in July. pre-season has started.

Just listened to the Podcast with Harry Brady on the Celtic Underground.
As usual sir you speak well……the love shines through !!!
Well done to u

Hope it clears soon.
Very happy birthday to Jobo Jhunior
And congrats to Mrs Phillbhoy and Husband :-)
Now start your Saturday with a wee prayer for our wee warrior “Oscar Knox”
O most Holy apostle St Jude
Faithful servant and friend of Jesus
The church honours and invokes you universally
As the patron of hopeless cases
Of things almost despaired of
Pray for Me
Make use, I implore you
Of that particular privilege given to you
To bring visible and speedy help
Where help is almost despaired of
Come to my assistance in this great need
That I may receive the consolation and help of heaven
In all my necessities, tribulations and suffering
Particularly “Oscar Knox”
And that I may praise
God with you forever
Cowiebhoy
Slept in for 10am mass this morning so thank you for that prayer
Cheers bmcuw. Off out to hop about. :-(
Burghbhoy
Cheers — just a wee informal chat between two Celtic fans.

How can you sleep in ? You get up every morning for 7, to see Jobo’s EK weather report, does that mean you have the day off :-)
Hail Hail

Just listened to BRTH podcast – superb stuff. The music and match commentary at the end on the run to Seville included the commentary on Henrik’s two goals in the Final which I haven’t heard before. Tough listening to that as the memories flood back. What an absolutely stunning footballer – for that first goal I had a perfect view along the goal line behind Henrik and it was almost impossible for him to score. We could see the ball going wide until the very last micro-second when it changed course and went into the net. BRTH describes it as the perfect goal in the book. From where I was sitting it was the impossible goal.
4-0 for the Bhoys today!
Morning bhoys.on honeymoon in golf de sur so its the wild geese for me to watch the game.anyone got a good thing for the national?
