Football: Celtic face a fight to the finish
ALEX SMITH on the Premier DivisionNEW Dundee United boss Alex Smith believes we are in for the most thrilling Premier finish in years. After the first month's action the Scotland Under 21 coach says: "With Martin O'Neill on board you can already see a much more productive attitude at Celtic.
"But they would be making a huge mistake if they believe that Sunday's win means that Rangers are ready to hoist the white flag.
"They will react in a positive, aggressive way and rather than making them vulnerable that setback will see them revert to dangerous mode. Elsewhere I have been impressed by the start made by Hibs under Alex McLeish and they are my favourites to finish third.
"At Dundee United, I am aiming to introduce the same stability that Celtic now have."
