AFTER being spared defeat on his Ireland debut thanks to an injury-time equaliser on Thursday night, manager Stephen Kenny is back on home turf and eyeing a first win against Finland.

INTERNATIONAL football returns with the clash of superpowers Germany and Spain in a cracking Nations League curtain-raiser on Thursday.

CELTIC bid to take a step closer to the Champions League group stage on Wednesday when they host Ferencvaros at an empty Parkhead. Neil Lennon’s men swatted aside KR Reykjavik 6-0 in the first qualifying round, but the Hungarian champions will present a tougher challenge. Just how difficult they will be is a tricky one to gauge. Ferencvaros have won […]

CELTIC are already playing catch-up in the title race as they head to Tannadice for their first meeting with Dundee United in four-and-a-half years.

Celtic slipped […]

NINETEEN days after Aberdeen kicked off the Scottish Premiership season, they play their second fixture. To say the time in between has been eventful is quite the understatement. The Dons had three league games postponed as a result of eight of their players thinking it was a good idea to hit the town after a dismal performance in the opening […]

BAYERN MUNICH are looking unstoppable in their pursuit of their first Champions League crown in seven years. Since resuming their campaign after lockdown, the Germans have pummelled Chelsea 4-1 to complete a 7-1 aggregate success before triggering the end of an era at Barcelona with an astonishing 8-2 quarter-final demolition. On that form, the trophy is heading to Bavaria. Underdogs […]

HAVING dispatched Wolves in the last round, Sevilla again have English opposition to overcome as they attempt to secure a place in the Europa League final. This is a well-trodden path for the Spanish side – they have won the tournament five times in the last 14 years, including three on the spin from 2014. As predicted, their 1-0 win […]

AFTER inflicting the shock of the round in the last 16, Lyon look to repeat the feat in the Champions League quarter-final against Man City.

The rest of the tournament will be played […]

ONE early-season slip-up away from home was bad enough for Celtic. Two on the bounce would start to cause ripples of panic among a support fixated on the quest for 10 titles in a row. After turning in a dismal performance in Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Kilmarnock – where Celtic’s XG of 0.3 was their lowest in four seasons – […]

WITH Wolves’ Europa League campaign now into a 13th month, they are just two wins away from the final. But their last-eight opposition in the neutral venue of Duisburg represents the toughest assignment yet for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side.

Note: This game has now been postponed. ABERDEEN have been decimated by the loss of eight first-team players for Saturday’s Scottish Premiership trip to McDiarmid Park. With two players having tested positive for coronavirus, and six others also having to self-isolate after being in close contact with the affected duo, Derek McInnes’ plans are in disarray for the game against […]

A SEASON that promised so much for Wolves is in danger of finishing on a dampener and only the Europa League now offers the chance of salvation. An insipid final-day defeat at Chelsea saw the Molineux men finish seventh in the Premier League, and that proved not enough for European qualification when Arsenal rather than Chelsea won the FA Cup. […]

MAN UNITED return to Europa League action to complete the formalities of their last-16 tie against a LASK side who are seeking a miracle.

With […]

WEST BROM’S task is simple in their final Championship game of the season – beat QPR and promotion is guaranteed. Even a draw or defeat may be enough, depending on how Brentford – currently a point behind in third — get on at against Barnsley, but the Baggies will want to leave nothing to chance. Their fate remains in their […]

Brentford still have a chance of automatic promotion, while Barnsley retain slim hopes of survival, but both sides need favours from elsewhere. The Bees may well still be kicking themselves after blowing their chance to climb into the top two at the […]
