Paul McStay will be sorely missed in Celtic’s opening games
While the rest at the magazine
develops an unhealthy iixation with the
Edinburgh Fringe, and with who is going to win the assorted Fringe Firsts and Perriers, the sports desk turns its attention to a rather more prized trophy.
The League Championship pennant
ilies over Ibrox at present, alter a tense
run-in to last year’s title. Come 10 August, the race is on again, and though the bookies would have you believe there’s only one team in the hunt, Rangers’ memories oi last year will convince them they can’t aiiord to be complacent.
On paperthey are easily the most poweriul side, strengthened
considerably by the prestigious signing
oi the superb Soviet midiielder Alexei Mlkhaiiichenko (it'll be intriguing to
hear the songs they devise around that
name, and gauge the popularity ot the
I a
lirst Ian who shouts ‘Gimme an M'). Nevertheless, there are more than a lew questions to be posed about the team-spirit oi Rangers, which cannot be said about their nearest rivals Aberdeen, who have a uselul signing
themselves in the Dutchman Ten Caat.
The Dons might just lind themselves better adjusted to the peculiarities oi Scottish domestic soccer. For Celtic, under new manager Liam Brady, this could be a season ior adjusting and
rebuilding, although try telling the tans
that. Dundee United, despite having a
wealth oi talent at their disposal, could
be lacing another year at missed opportunities and inconsistencies to keep their manager, Jim ‘Laughing Boy’ McLean happy.
Anyway, just to get you laughing and arguing, here’s The List assessment oi
what the Premiertable will look like
come May. A risky prediction perhaps,
but that’s never stopped us belore, as the conietti oi torn-up betting slips surrounding this desk will testify. PREMIER LEAGUE
