HOOPS HEAD TO EUROPE
There is a welcome break from domestic affairs for Celtic’s Internationalists this week, as the next round of qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup take place throughout Europe.
A total of four separate nations have representatives from the Bhoys – Scotland, Republic of Ireland, Germany and Greece.
Holland’s reduction in squad size to 23 players means that the out-of-form Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink will not have the opportunity to make it five, while Northern Ireland’s Pat McCourt – plagued with injury this season – was forced to withdraw from the squad for their qualifiers against Poland and Slovenia because of a hamstring injury and a back problem.

CIS Cup For Starters?
Celtic travel to Tannadice Park to face Dundee United on Sunday afternoon for Setanta's live offering from the SPL this weekend.

Levein has overseen a drastic turnaround in fortunes whilst he has been in charge at the Terrors, proving to be more than a challenge for both halves of the Old Firm on numerous occasions and indeed is yet to lose to Celtic this term.

DARREN'S BIG DEA

Misfiring strikers Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink and Georgios Samaras were relegated to the bench after a terrible run of form, while summer acquisition Glenn Loovens made a rare start; in-form Gary Caldwell moved forward into a defensive midfield role.
For Rangers, talismanic defender Madjid Bougherra failed a late fitness test; Kirk Broadfoot deputising in the...
The Final
