FOOTBALL Saturday 16
SCOTTISH CUP FINAL
0 Dundee Utd v St Mirren Hampan Park. Glasgow (2 mins from Mount Florida Station). Stand £10. £7: family section £4 (child £1 ): ground £4 (cash at gate). 3pm. This match is billed as the Friendly Final in an attempt to woo the neutrals. neither club being noted for their massive support. On the field. though. it could be a fascinating match if the nerves don't take too firm a grip. United must start favourites. even allowing fora difficult midweek European final to come next week.
Monday 18

ROUS CUP
0 Scotland v England Hampden Park. Glasgow (2 mins from Mount Florida Station) Ground tickets £4. 1
shudder to think what England‘s superior (if slightly over-rated) squad may do to our thoroughly disorganist outfit. Andy Roxburgh has signally failed to find a coherent team in his short reign as manager. with no continuity of performance or selection emerging so far. Bottom line. I fear. is that we simply don't have players of real international calibre at the moment.
Anyone who doubted the worth of Souness can surely now see the difference he made in organising the side on the field.
Tuesday 26
FRIENDLY INTERNATIONAL
0 Scotland v Brazil flampden Park (as above). All-ticket. Wing stand £8: Ground £4. This could be even more embarrassing. ifslightly less painful. Not one of Brazilian football's vintage periods at the moment. but they are always worth watching. (See photo).

0 Prudential Junior British Hardcourt Championships Craiglockhart Sports Centre. 177 Colinton Road. Edinburgh. Buzz is all for the Scottish Championships next month. but the Under-12 and Under-14s get their chance this week. and will certainly be worth a look.

Edinburgh EH3 7LU (031 225 1284 for details).
