OTTAWA -- Atiba Hutchinson and Julian de Guzman will lead
a Canadian team mixed with veterans and young players in
two international friendlies this month. The 24-player
Canadian squad announced Friday plays No. 73 Bulgaria on
May 23 in Ritzing, then faces 99th-ranked Moldova in
Mauer, Austria, on May 27. Canada holds the No. 110
position on the latest FIFA rankings list. The squad,
which opens camp Sunday in Thaya, Austria, is comprised
of mostly European-based players, plus a handful of
promising young players such as Samuel Piette, a
midfielder playing for Fortuna Dusseldorf, defender
Daniel Stanese (FC Augusburg II), and forwards Caleb
Clarke (FC Augsburg II), and Cyle Larin (University of
Connecticut). The Canadian team is focused on developing
younger players one year out from the next CONCACAF Gold
Cup and the resumption of World Cup qualifying. Its
Canadas second camp of the year. In January, a squad
composed mostly of younger players gathered in Sunrise,
Fla., for camp and defeated the Fort Lauderdale Strikers
of the North American Soccer League in a friendly.

Seattle was electrified as the parade featuring the NFL
champions began near the Space Needle and made its way to
CenturyLink Field, the home of the team. At a ceremony
inside the stadium, the team thanked its loyal followers
-- the 12th Man -- capping a day of boisterous
celebration that drew an estimated 700,000 revelers to
Seattle.

six games below the .500 mark before a franchise-altering
trade turned them into an unrecognizable team.

Scottish football season reaches a climax on Scottish Cup
final day. Its live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 2pm on
Saturday. Presenter David Tanner looks forward to the
final, and also the arrival of Brendan Rodgers at
Celtic... The city of Glasgow never tires of talking
football. On the evidence of my strolls along Sauchiehall
and Buchanan Streets this week, the volume of the chatter
has reached levels not heard for years. Celtic fans told
me of their excitement about Brendan Rodgers coming to
town. I could only agree! Others were sad that Neil
Lennon wasnt being welcomed back; I agreed with them,
too. Discussions tended to move onto thoughts about
whether the new boss should worry about the return of the
other half of the Old Firm to the Premiership. Meanwhile,
the blue half of town is all over the Scottish Cup final.
As is the green end of Edinburgh! It struck me that this
week might prove to be a watershed for Scottish football
and for the fans in the countrys biggest city. This is
the time when football people appear to me to have
started looking forward with anticipation and excitement,
rather than looking back in anger. The events that have
unfolded at Rangers since 2012 - and the fiscal
arrangements which preceded them - have dominated and
soured many discussions about Scottish football for way
too long. Without the Old Firm going head-to-head to
provide the entertainment, fans of the great rivals have
been left to argue the toss about tax schemes and other
legal complexities. And youd be amazed how many tax
experts there are out there now! Everybody has their own
truth on this subject. The discourse of discontent can
hopefully be drowned out now. Mark Warburton and Alan
Stubbs will go head-to-head at Hampden Park Celtic have
shown huge appetite and ambition in their pursuit and
capture of Rodgers (there were so many fantastic options
available to the champions this time!) and there is
clearly about to be substantial investment in human
resources at Parkhead. The personal intervention of
Dermot Desmond in the recruitment process excites me; it
sends out a strong message that wasnt there when he took
a back seat when the unfathomable appointment of Ronny
Deila was made two years ago. Id argue that these great
Glasgow clubs exist primarily to beat the other one!
Trophies and European runs are an added bonus! As a
Celtic supporter, Brendan will understand this but only
to a degree... as he becomes immersed in Celtic and the
Old Firm, hell soon discover more about the unique
culture of bedlam! Hell find Glasgow to be more intense
than Liverpool. I believe that prospect will excite him!
Luke Shanley tells us Brendan Rodgers is the big-name
manager Celtic wanted Before Brendan experiences the Old
Firm clash next season - remember, all of the meetings in
the Ladbrokes Premiership will be live on Sky Sports -
theres a William Hill Scottish Cup final involving
Rangers and another big city club, Hibernian, to look
forward to.The word from inside Hampden Park is that
demand for cup final tickets outstrips even that for the
colossal Old Firm semi-final! Hibs and Rangers fans are
noticeably looking forward to this game more than they
have any other in recent years. McCann: Stubbs tactical
edge Neil McCann is backing Rangers to prolong Hibernians
Scottish Cup misery this weekend... Why is there such a
final frenzy? First and foremost, both sets of fans know
that their favourites can win it. For much of this
season, it was difficult to separate the clubs in the
league - it was two home wins apiece. The years of mayhem
at Rangers and, similarly, Hibernians slide into the
Championship - and their extended stay there - means the
cup final has additional... well... everything! Despite
their Championship status, Hibs managed to reach the
final of the League Cup. But that good work seemed to be
unravelled by the nature of the late defeat to Ross
County at Hampden, coupled with a complete collapse in
the league. The form slump led to a new phrase entering
the Scottish football dictionary... Hibernian will look
to end a run of 10 Scottish Cup final defeats stretching
back to 1902 when they play Rangers on Saturday Hibsed it
(phrasal verb) - to lose a football game, usually near
the end, when victory would seem like the easier option.
Hibs have Hibsed it again.Dont dare say those words
within earshot of Alan Stubbs. The Hibernian manager
knows only too well that if his team dont Hibs it against
Rangers and actually win the cup for the first time since
1902, then the phrase can be removed from the footy
lexicon as quickly as it appeared there - and sports most
enduring hoodoo will also have been ended. Hibernian were
victorious the last time the sides met, defeating Rangers
3-2 at Easter Road Cup finals are usually decided by
courage.dddddddddddd The team that shows the most of it
has a habit of winning. In recent years, though, theres
been an additional influencing factor in finals.Since the
introduction of the divisional play-offs by the old
Scottish Football League, the three divisions below the
Premiership have all completed their 36-game season some
weeks before the top leagues 38-game campaign has ended.
This has presented a problem for the lower-league sides:
how to rest the players without letting them switch off.
Sky Sports pundit Neil McCann is expecting the Scottish
Cup final to be a tight match This years is the fifth
final since 2006 that teams from outside the Premiership
have featured. A decade ago, the then Division 2 winners
Gretna lost on penalties to Hearts; since then Division
One/Championship Queen of the South, Ross County and
Falkirk have all tried to take the final step. All have
failed, despite some having engineered some big cup
shocks along the way.And that could be where Hibs have
the edge in this unprecedented all-Championship final.
Their season was extended beyond the end of Rangers
campaign by their participation in the play-offs. The
last competitive game for Stubbsy and co - one that ended
in late defeat in the play-off semis against Falkirk -
was just eight days before Hampden. Wallace: Time to
deliver Lee Wallace will get the chance to lift his first
major trophy as a Rangers player on Saturday... Rangers,
on the other hand, havent played a game with anything
riding on it since the Old Firm semi-final FIVE weeks
ago! Mark Warburton will have had sleepless nights
worrying about the after-effects of winning the title so
early and the cold storage which followed it.Will Rangers
be rested or ready? Will Hibs be sore or stimulated? Is
momentum more powerful than inertia? Answering those
questions with me in the studio will be a panel of
multiple cup winners: Scotland manager (and Hibs fan!)
Gordon Strachan, former Hibs and Rangers manager Alex
McLeish and Skys Neil McCann, a five-time cup winner.
Former Hibernian defender John Brownlie and former
Rangers winger Willie Henderson look ahead to Saturdays
Scottish Cup final Make sure you tune in from 2pm to
enjoy the full live build-up from Hampden - well have
exclusive interviews with the Rangers squad and
management, Hibs and Scotland midfielder John McGinn
tells us about his Hampden hopes and theres my sit-down
with Alan Stubbs, a thought-provoking chat about how a
cup final drugs test saved his life. So, years of
adversity have given the Hibees and the Bluenoses a
renewed hunger for success. Saturday May 21 will be the
day the good times return - for one set of fans.
Hibernian manager Alan Stubbs says his side are
determined to win the Scottish Cup final against Rangers
Next season, Brendan Rodgers Celtic, Aberdeen and Hearts
will all invest to meet the changes in the landscape
brought about by Rangers winning promotion. The fixtures
for 2016/17 will be announced by the SPFL on Sky Sports
News HQ on June 17, so the excitement starts early! Mark
the date in your diary... Brendan certainly will!I was
asked this week what my personal ambitions are and,
without hesitating, I instinctively said: to be in the
studio the night Scotland finally qualify for a major
tournament! Scotlands World Cup qualifiers are live on
Sky Sports next season. Thats something else to look
forward to in what will be a outstanding season for the
game here.The campaign which ends this weekend has been
one in which more of the matches that mattered in
Scotland have been live on Sky Sports and its been a
pleasure and a privilege to cover them for you. See you
next season for even more big games and, as Celtic have
now shown us, big names! Enjoy the cup final! Also See:
