Saturday 3
PREMIER LEAGUE I Dundee Utd v Celtic Tannadice Park. Tannadice Street. Dundee. 3pm. Astonishingly. some bookies are offering 20-] against United takingthe Championship. which must be worth a flutter — especially as the odds could be shortened after today‘s result.
I Dunlermline V St Minen East End Park. Halbeath Road. Dunfermline. 3pm. Though Victor and his erstwhile chum from the Spanish League. Archibald. have made quite an impact since their arrival. the Saints have yet to register a win with
them in the side.

Saturday 15
PREMIER LEAGUE
I Celtic v Dunlennline Celtic Park. Gallowgate. Glasgow. 3pm. The last two matches have been real testers for McNeill‘s team. and not ones that they have passed with flying colours. Although this should be a less arduous task for them. there is no guarantee they will complete it to Caesar's satisfaction.
I Hibernian v Dundee Utd Easter Road Stadium. Albion Road. Edinburgh. 3pm. United. this page‘s tip for the title.should take some stopping and a frail Ilibs side may not be the ones to do it.
