2 w. ago Idah hits Celtic leveller as Rangers denied in Old Firm showdown

What a phoney war this proved to be. Eighty-four minutes into the Old Firm derby came its first booking, for the Rangers interim manager Barry Ferguson. Long before then, it had become apparent Rangers and Celtic would be pretty content to settle for a point each. These sides swung and comprehensively missed at each other for much of the 97 minutes played. This was no clash for the purist.Celtic may be the happier when dust settles. They avoided three successive league defeats to their oldest foes – a feat Rangers last achieved in 1996-97 – and recovered from a goal behind. Celtic were the better team in the second period but Rangers always carried a counterattacking threat. Hamza Igamane and Nicolas Raskin should have done better when afforded late chances to win this for the hosts. Ferguson and his staff also appealed wildly but in vain for a penalty, nine minutes from time. Continue reading...

Rodri collects the ball in midfield and launches it down the wing to Lamine Yamal, who switches play to Kylian Mbappé; the Frenchman swivels past two defenders before crossing for Robert Lewandowski, who surges forward and finishes with precision past Ederson in goal. Europe are leading the Rest of the World 1-0.Could the European Union have a football team, even if it is just for one game every other year? Why not? It is an ambitious idea that, paradoxically, could be both concrete and relevant. In an era marked by challenges to the cohesion of the union, conceiving a footballing Dream Team of the 27 countries is, in fact, one of the more plausible ways to give the continent a dimension beyond the economy or, as is highly relevant at the m...
