Dundee United clearly had their minds on tackling one half of the Old Firm \u2014 but it wasn\u2019t Celtic.<\/p>\n
Older readers will remember the old firm. \u00a0And Austin Healeys, Spangles and Morecambe and Wise.<\/em><\/p>\n With next Saturday\u2019s Scottish Cup semi-final against Rangers looming on the horizon, the Tannadice side were tentative and appeared\u00a0 keen to avoid injury ahead of their Ibrox showdown.<\/p>\n Saving the injuries till next week, no doubt.<\/em><\/p>\n On this evidence, United will certainly have to raise their\u00a0 performance several notches for the biggest game of their season \u2014 or risk losing out in their quest to win the trophy for a third time. ”<\/p>\n Older readers will also remember Jimmy Sanderson, and his famous line to callers to his phone in show;\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n ” Were you at the game , caller ? ”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Newly crowned \u00a0Manager \u00a0of \u00a0the Month Neil Lennon was delighted, and praised his players;<\/p>\n \u201cThis is always a great fixture and traditionally it\u2019s always a really good game here,\u201d he said after the game. \u201cIt\u2019s a great stadium and our fans come here in their thousands, so we had to make sure that they went away happy.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a wonderful performance from start to finish and I thought the scoreline should have been more emphatic.<\/p>\n \u201cWe knew Dundee United would have a spell in the game, which they did just after half-time, but our counter-attacking play was very good.<\/p>\n \u201cSometimes you don\u2019t want the first-half to end, and we didn\u2019t really hit the ground running in the second-half, and we just had to ride out a little bit of pressure from Dundee United.<\/p>\n \u201cOnce we\u2019d done that, then on the counter-attack we were fantastic, and but for a little bit more care we\u2019d have won the game three, four, five. But it\u2019s the all-round performance I\u2019m looking at, and I thought the football we played at times was exhibition stuff.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Er, it was good, but not that good. Actually, thats unfair, it was good. Perhaps its just that when we play like that we expect to have won by four or five, and while that could have happened yesterday, it would have been harsh on United.<\/p>\n “He can sing what he wants, ” chanted the support when Leigh Griffiths entered the fray, but then this morning one or two of us were having second thoughts;<\/p>\n CELTIC star Leigh Griffiths is at the centre of a fresh video storm today after he was filmed leading a pub in a \u00adracist song about former Hearts hero Rudi Skacel.<\/p>\n Mobile phone footage passed to the Sunday Mail shows the Scotland striker standing up in the packed pub to start a massed chant branding the Czech player a \u201cf****** refugee\u201d.<\/p>\n Footage clearly shows Griffiths, 23, leading dozens of Hibs fans belting out the hateful song in the Roseburn Bar before the club\u2019s \u00adEdinburgh derby with Hearts last Sunday.<\/p>\n Wearing a grey top, he stands up with his hands in the air and kicks off the chant before jumping up and down when others join\u00a0 in.<\/p>\nCeltic star Leigh Griffiths caught<\/h1>\n
