FOOTB ' LL Friday 20 0 Rangers \l Bordeaux Ibrox, Glasgow (2 mins from Ibrox Underground). A fixtureless Rangers have arranged this attractive friendly with the French Cup holders.
Saturday 21
SCOTTISH CUP (Fourth Round)
0 Clydebank v Hibs Kilbowie, Clydebank (2 mins from Singer Station). Hibs were a little flattered by their winning margin against Dunfermline, but should be able to take at least a replay from Kilbowie. 0 Hamilton v Motherwell Douglas Park. Hamilton (15 mins from Bus Station). A well-earned local derby for Hamilton. and ifyou‘re waiting for a prediction. forget it . . .
O Hearls V Celtic Tynecastle. Edinburgh (Buses 1.2. 3, 4. 33. 34, 44). IfCeltic do win this cup. no one can say they had the luck ofthe draw. Hearts home defeat by Rangers left this trophy as their last real chance this season. and they will be desperate to do well. All the makings ofa classic cup thriller.
0 Morton v St Mirren Cappielow. Greenock (5 mins from Cartsdyke Station). Another local derby. but the Premier League visitors will not relish the difficult journey down the Clyde.
FINE FARE LEAGUE FIRS'I‘DIVISION

Judo has become Scotland’s most popular one-on-one contact sport in recent years, and the Letts Scottish Open Championship at Meadowbank will bring togetherthe cream ol
Scotland's competitors, against strong
matches, but the lure of a European
place should keep their minds on the
job.
0 Motherwell v Falkirit Fir Park, Motherwell (all Motherwell buses pass ground). The expanded Premier Division is throwing up too many less than riveting fixtures: this is likely to be one such.
0 Rangers v Hibs Ibrox, Glasgow (2 mins from Ibrox Underground). Hamilton‘s win — and comparisons with Berwick do their Premier status no justice - means that Rangers can devote their undivided attention to the Championship. Hibs have won three points in Edinburgh. but are unlikely to add to that today. FIRST DIVISION
0 Airdrie v Oueen oi the South
Broomfield, Airdrie (15 mins from Airdrie Station). The title-race remains wide open in this division, and Airdrie must win to sustain their own challenge.

Saturday 21 I
0 Scotland v Ireland Murrayfield, Edinburgh. A sold-out Murrayfield will greet Scotland‘s first match in the 1987 Five Nation‘s Championship. Scotland grabbed a share ofthe title last year (throughout which they were heavily indebted to Gavin Hastings‘ points kicking) by stealing a win in Dublin, but will be looking to open their account with a more impressive display today against an Irish side fresh from their 17—0 drubbing of England.
