Grosskreutz said: “When I was in Glasgow a while ago, I went into a Celtic pub. The people started singing my name. I will never forget that. There is a connection between Celtic and Dortmund supporters.” (Sun)

Butcher focussed on Hibs win - not Hearts drop

TERRY Butcher has called on his Hibs side to ignore the hype around Hearts’ impending relegation ahead of the Edinburgh derby.

Butcher said: “All the talk was about Hearts going down, about us relegating them. That’s rivalry, that’s what it’s all about. That’s great.

“But most of the time you try to distance yourself. You really have to concentrate on playing the game how you want it to go. We haven’t even talked about the relegation factor.”
