Burns backs No1 Sullivan

DON MORRISON/DAVID BARNES/GRAHAM NICKLESS /HUGH SOUTHON

Celtic boss Tommy Burns is delighted that Craig Brown has ignored goalkeeper Stewart Kerr for the Scotland squad.

Brown has been on the receiving end of some flak for opting for Neil Sullivan but gets solid backing from Burns.

"Kerr has done a great job since coming into the side." says Burns.

"And while I'm certain he would learn a lot from working with the likes of Andy Goram and Jim Leighton, I feel he still has time on his side.

"He's already been on international duty with the Under 21 side and I"m certain his time will come at the top level."

Alex Ferguson is considering a sensational swoop for Gareth Southgate.

And the Manchester United boss could throw in Andy Cole as part of a juicy tempter to Villa.

Ferguson has been desperately seeking a centre back all season, combing Europe for the right man without making a kill.

He's worried because Gary Pallister's back problem won't go away and he's had to use Roy Keane as a makeshift defender.

Southgate, a pounds 2.5 million buy from Palace two years ago, can play centre back or midfield. And Fergie knows that Brian Little badly needs more strike power to revive his side.

Little asked for Cole three months ago but the player's fitness problems killed any hope of a deal.

Rangers

get down

to talks

Rangers boss Walter Smith has opened new contract talks with Davie Robertson, Gordon Durie and Ian Ferguson.

"We are making progress but it all takes time," he says.

Robertson is the main worry with his agent making what Rangers regard as excessive demands.

Rangers' pounds 4 million striker Seb Rozental this week returns from his stint with Chile and has a seven-week break before returning on international duty.

Adds Smith: "He could be ready for the Cup tie against East Fife but it's just as important that he settles in."

Newcastle boss Kenny Dalglish is ready to bid this week for Charlton defender Richard Rufus after making a personal check on the player on Friday night.
