Best pictures as Tayside farmers take to the football field for charity
Angus farmers were feeling the heat in a Friday night Past v Present charity fixture on the football field. As they battled it out at Strathmore Park in Forfar, the players were in as much need of a good soaking as their recently planted fields of tatties. But the two squads dug in to raise funds for Brain Tumour Research. The perfect weather brought out a good crowd for the highly-anticipated match, organised by Angus Tayside Young Farmers. District chairman Glen Barclay said: 'Our district has always had a strong tradition of talented footballers. 'It's essential that we continue to nurture the connections between current members and those who have come before us. 'This match provided the perfect opportunity to do just that, while supporting Brain Tumour Research, a cause that is particularly meaningful to many of our members.' The youngsters secured a 4-0 win in what was a hotly contested encounter, to take home the inaugural Cochrane Family Quaich. Ewan Murray of the winning side was the man of the match. Forfar JAC organises a hugely popular Christmas Eve tractor run annually.

Welcome to our brand new live blog running on Saturdays and Sundays that will signpost the football matches and stories to look out for each day.

We're hoping to involve you in the conversation, too, so if you happen to be heading to Wembley get in touch below the line or email us with your thoughts on the match.

Celtic v Bayern Munich: Champions League playoff round, first leg
Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature Ewan Murray looks back at Bayern's Scottish clashes. Share Famously, some smarty pants at ITV once tweeted 'Bye bye Celtic' after they were drawn in the Champions League to face Barcelona, Benfica and Spartak Moscow in the group stage. Neil Lennon did not take it well and rubbed it into the face of the social media scamp by leading the Scottish side through to the knockouts, including a famous win over Barcelona. It was rumoured that Lennon stuck in the tweet in the dressing room to use it as inspiration, giving two fingers to the London-based broadcaster. 'It was a cheap shot really,' Lennon said of the tweet. 'It was born out of ignorance.' Once again, from the outside it looks like Celtic have a very difficult Champions League task in front of them. Bayern Munich are in town in this playoff novelty and there will be a second leg in Germany next week. The odds are against them but Celtic will, once again, be very eager to prove any doubters wrong. Kick-off: 8pm GMT Share
