Show notes and sources
The Courier reports that Neil Farrugia tweaked his groin at Celtic Park and Jim Goodwin hopes it is not serious; Mehdi Merghem is back in full training and in contention for Motherwell next Saturday after United chose an extra centre-back for the Celtic bench following Michael Forbes’s ear cut. The free weekend gives Farrugia extra recovery time before United return to action.
Zac Sapsford says United’s style of play this season suits him and is creating chances for the striker. He also took pride in the defensive work at Celtic Park, with the forwards tracking back and the team protecting the box after the equaliser. Sapsford says the break will be used to recover and prepare for Motherwell.
On Motherwell, manager Alfred Johansson says Alex Lowry will be out until the international break with a knee knock, while Johnny Koutroumbis will not feature before the break because of a muscle injury. Motherwell drew two-all at St Johnstone on Wednesday after conceding with the last kick. They host St Mirren tomorrow before visiting Tannadice.
Across the Premiership, the SPFL has invited bids for live broadcast rights from the 2029-30 season and says it is flexible about how many matches are shown. BBC Sport reports that broadcasters can bid to show every top-flight game, including Saturday three o’clock kick-offs, with any agreement requiring support from eight of the twelve Premiership clubs.
