Sir Kenny Dalglish has not given up hope of Liverpool staging another Anfield comeback in the Champions League against Real Madrid and winning another Istanbul final, saying: “Maybe romance is not yet dead.”
The former Liverpool player and manager believes the Reds face a tougher task against Real than they did in overturning a three-goal deficit to beat Barcelona in the 2019 semi-finals, and not just because the match will be played behind closed doors due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Butcher on the Best Goal Ever Scored Against Town
Thursday, 9th Apr 2020 10:02
Bolton Wanderers would have been the Blues’ opponents at Portman Road on Good Friday and coincidentally, 41 years ago this month, Frank Worthington netted what’s often regarded as the greatest goal ever scored against Town in a game between the sides at Burnden Park. TWTD had a chat with legend Terry Butcher to talk about that goal, the Blues’ transitional 1978/79 season and some of football’s current issues.
“I remember that goal and I remember I was marking Sam Allardyce and he scored the second, so I didn’t have a particularly good game that day but we still won the game 3-2,” Butcher recalled.

FC Porto not interested in signing Chelsea's Malang Sar on permanent deal
Daily Post Nigeria
Published
Sarr joined Porto on loan from Chelsea last year in order to gain regular first-team action.
But the 22-year-old French star has endured a mixed spell at Porto, playing just 14 matches in the starting XI and five substitute appearances across all competitions for the Portugal giants.
However, neither Porto nor Sarr have any desire to turn the loan agreement into a permanent deal.
Sarr will now return to Chelsea in the summer after his loan spell at Porto expires.
He joined Chelsea from French Ligue 1 side, Nice last summer transfer window.
Sarr will hope to break into Thomas Tuchel’s first team at Stamford Bridge next season.

Liverpool legend, Kenny Dalglish, has backed Jurgen Klopp’s men to qualify for the Champions League semi-finals ahead of Real Madrid when both sides clash in the quarter-final first and second legs on April 6 and 14.
Dalglish believes Liverpool can beat Real Madrid and face Chelsea, who will tackle FC Porto in the other last-8 tie, in the semi-final.
Liverpool eliminated RB Leipzig in the Champions League last-16, while Real Madrid knocked Atalanta out from the competition.
“[Liverpool] are still a threat. They are still a team to be proud of, and that can go places. They’re still in the quarter-finals of the Champions League,” Dalglish told talkSPORT Breakfast on Thursday.

Celtic can't afford Keane to fail - and neither can the former Man Utd captain

Now, Celtic are on a mission to win it back. With chief executive Peter Lawwell leaving at the end of the season and no full-time manager presently in place following the departure of Neil Lennon in February, the Glasgow outfit are set for a wide-ranging overhaul in the summer.
It will have Keane, the headline-grabbing hardman, as its figurehead – but beyond the fire and brimstone brought by the legendary midfielder, a winner of seven Premier League titles and a member of the Man Utd squad that won the treble in 1999, there will be more cerebral support.
Fittingly, it is a former Manchester United team-mate that Keane is set to primarily lean on. Throughout his managerial career to date, the Irishman has recruited extensively from his former employers, and he is set to pluck his right-hand man away from Old Trafford.

A statue for Scott Brown? Celtic man Ryan Christie makes interesting suggestion

A statue for Scott Brown? Celtic man Ryan Christie makes interesting suggestion
March 27, 2021
Outgoing Celtic captain Scott Brown will “probably deserve” a statue, according to Ryan Christie.
Christie, who starred in Scotland’s 2-2 draw with Austria on Thursday night, made the suggestion while talking about Brown’s impact at the club.
Given the calibre of club men with statues outside Paradise, it’s quite a shout. However, Brown is one of the most decorated Celtic players in history. While at Celtic, he won 22 trophies, including 10 league titles. His achievements as a captain will be near-impossible to match.

Celtic aren't producing strikers, and it's hard to know why that is

Celtic aren't producing strikers, and it's hard to know why that is
March 26, 2021
We don’t want to be negative on 67 Hail Hail, but there’s a worrying Celtic trend emerging.
Today, Celtic TV posted an interview with Academy graduate Adam Montgomery. The striker-turned-left-back spoke fondly of Darren O’Dea and Greig Robertson, youth coaches at the club. He’s an exciting talent, and his recent emergence in the first-team squad has been promising. However, his dramatic change of position is bound to raise eyebrows.

“When [changing position] was first to put me, I was a bit “ahh”. I am a tricky winger normally, I like beating players and getting at people. The way Celtic play full-backs is very attacking so going back to full-back, it hasn’t been a massive difference for me. I’m really enjoying it.”

What Scotland fans should expect from Southampton striker Che Adams
KEVIN Wilson knew the first time he saw Che Adams play that he was special.
The occasion was a trial match for Leicester City's academy and there was one well-built kid who just kept jumping out at him as he outpaced defenders and barged players off the ball. Leicester missed what was staring Wilson in the face.
“I think they saw him as a street footballer and while he was very raw he was pacy and powerful for his age,” says Wilson. “I think sometimes you have just got to look a bit further on the development side of it.”
