Celtic hammered Rangers 3-0 at Ibrox park to move eight points clear in the Scottish premier league .
Celtic went 1-0 up after just 17 minutes when Gary Hoper scored from the edge of the penalty area.
It was Hooper again after 27 minutes when he got on the end of a cross from the left and poked the ball home.
Nate Montana will be playing for Montana.
It became official yesterday with the news that Montana, son of the legendary Joe, had transferred from Notre Dame to Montana State a Division IAAA team.
It brings to an end a fairy tale where Joe's son could rise up and lead Notre Dame like his dad did.
Ireland handily defeated Wales by 3-0 in the first game of the new Carling Cup international soccer series at Dublin's Aviva stadium..
A brilliant Darron Gibson goal after one hour put Ireland ahead and Damien Duff added a second eight minutes later.
Finally Keith Fahey completed the rout with a goal eight minutes from the end from a free kick.
Three turnovers that brought 21 points was the total difference between the two teams.

Italy led by 6-3 at half time but an O'Driscoll try put Ireland back in the lead. However, Italy came back and appeared to have scored the decisive try with time running out to lead 11-10.
There is something about Irish coaches and the Super Bowl.

He would be following in the footsteps of Tom Coughlin of the New York Giants and Sean Peyton of the New Orleans Saints.
I will be cheering for Green Bay on Sunday even though I have a lot of respect for the Pittsburgh owners, the Rooney family and the great work they have done in Ireland as well with the Steelers.
Fact is though I can't stand Ben Roethlisberger. The Pittsburgh quarterback is everything that is wrong with professional sport.
Like Michael Vick who abused helpless animals, Big Ben came perilously close to rape charges on two occasions.
I understand youthful indiscretions but following a drunken woman to a bathroom and doing who knows what there is not my idea of a trivial matter
