AND CELTS IN SCOTTISH CUP MATCH ON SATURDAY

By JIMMY CARABINE

Rangers and Celtic will meet in the Scottish Cup on March 14-for

the first time in 25 years. They were paired at Ibrox when the fourth

round draw-one of the best ever-was made in Glasgow.

This will be the only all-ticket tle, and though the crowd ilmit has not yet been fixed, it is likely to be about 100,000.

Rugby Visit To

England

By PETER LOVEGROVE

There was very much of a Continental flavour about London's rugby on February 28. Not only was the French National XV in action at Twickenham, where it went down by eleven clear points despite the stentorian exhortations of a goodly Gallic contingent among the 60,000 present, but three French clubs also came over to play morning matches and we had the first visit ever of some young Spaniards.

An exuberant afde of students from Bordeaux gave Old Dunstonians a good run for their money before going down 16-9. The Iris Club from the industrial town of Lille were the guests of "Old 'Albanians at St Alban's, and a side from the great scaport of Le Havre conceded 22 polnits to Thames Valley.
