The 90s section was notably short but the most poignant clip was the well-worn one of the Lisbon Lions winning the 1967 European Cup. For him, maybe, for the club it looks set to tarnish the triumph. This pudgy man with the dated perm may look an unlikely hero but there is no doubting who the fans favour in his apparent dispute with the general manager. "Wim Jansen a Celtic Legend - Who's Jock Brown?" said one banner.Though neither is revealing much, the problem would appear to be Brown's reluctance to give Jansen a free hand (and open cheque-book) in the transfer market. A series of managers have failed as Rangers equalled the nine-in-a-row achieved by Jock Stein's Bhoys.In the circumstances it seems barely credible that, having found a manager to break the Rangers' stranglehold, Celtic now seem set to drive him away.Wim Jansen, whose team have won more trophies in one season as previous sides in the last nine, attempted to be non-committal about his future on Saturday night but let slip that it was "a happy end for me". Ten years have elapsed since a championship pennant was unfurled at Parkhead - a weather-beaten 1987-88 flag flew proudly from the top of the north stand on Saturday - and there has been precious little to celebrate in the interim. The spectators, including Bertie Ahern, the Irish Taoiseach, became a study in anxiety and it was only when Harald Brattback converted a slick breakaway goal with 17 minutes to go that the first chant of "champions" dared raise its head.This may have been down to a lack of practice.

This time the pair have graphically illustrated the truism that the championship is a marathon, not a sprint, by finishing it like Jim Peters, stumbling to defeats and draws against the likes of Kilmarnock and Dunfermline.Even an excellent second-minute goal from Henrik Larsson, curled in from 25 yards, could not put them at ease against St Johnstone on Saturday. "It will go on record," wrote one observer in The Scotsman on Saturday morning, "as one of the most exciting contests in years - and one of the worst.. Neither side has truly deserved to be champions ... Scottish sides who long ago accomplished the trick of looking bad abroad have gone for the double this season and looked even worse at home."Another critic recalled the last time the Old Firm went to the wire, 25 years ago, and noted that on that occasion Celtic dropped one point from the last 11 matches and Rangers, the runners-up, one point from the last 17. Celtic 2 St Johnstone 0 NO CHAMPIONSHIP could have been more eagerly desired or fervently celebrated but, even in their moment of triumph, some Celtic fans appeared to maintain a sense of perspective. Among the many songs they were singing on Saturday night was this ditty, to the tune of the Carpenters' hit."We're on top of the worldLooking down on the RangersAnd the only explanation I can findIs that the Rangers are duffAnd their supporters are in a huffThat's why Celtic are on top of the world"The sentiment may be unintentional but it does accurately reflect a general consensus north of the border that Celtic have won the title because Rangers are even poorer.

He said: "Last season I was offered a pounds 5million deal with Ajax.. but decided to stay. There was no mention of compensation when I told them I was going to Chelsea," he added.The Manchester City fan Noel Gallagher has revealed he had no intention of trying to buy the Maine Road club.The Oasis singer has been repeatedly linked with moves to take over City, who went down to the Second Division for the first time in their history last weekend, but on Saturday he said: "I won't say how much money I've got but I couldn't buy one decent player.". I do not see why Rangers are suddenly putting up these barriers to a deal we have already agreed." Laudrup is reported to be upset by the development. Hutchinson said: "If a player like Steve Staunton can leave Aston Villa at the end of the season for free because he is out of contract, I do not see why Brian Laudrup, as an EU [European Union] citizen, should not be given the same privilege. First they conceded an equaliser, scored by Nicola Ventola, who next season will be an Inter player.

Then, with the clock already past the 90-minute mark, the South African striker Phil Masinga grabbed a late winner for Bari.Lens won the French title for the first time on Saturday, after an unbeaten run of eight league matches. They drew 1-1 away to Auxerre to snatch the league on goal difference from Metz, 1-0 winners at home to Lyon.Lens fell behind after only 13 minutes when Auxerre's captain, Sabri Lamouchi, scored with a low shot from a pass by Stephane Guivarc'h. But the 22-year-old left-back Yohan Lachor became Lens' hero with a 53rd-minute equaliser from a crossfield pass by Frederic Dehu.. CHELSEA'S managing director, Colin Hutchinson, said yesterday that he had instructed lawyers to take the the London club's case to the European Commission if Rangers persist with their cash demands for a fee of pounds 6m for Brian Laudrup. Juventus entered the match with a four-point lead over their only championship rivals, Internazionale, and had to win at their Delle Alpi stadium to prevent the race for Serie A going to the final match of the season. They fell behind after just 11 minutes to a goal from Igor Kolyvanov, who beat the Juve offside trap and slotted a low shot across Angelo Peruzzi into the bottom corner of the net.Worse was to follow for the defending champions. It was unclear whether news of Inzaghi's late strike reached the Inter players on the pitch at Bari but, for whatever reason, Gigi Simoni's side capitulated in the final minutes of a match they had always controlled. News filtered through to a packed Delle Alpi stadium that, at the other end of the country, Inter were winning 1-0 at Bari thanks to a goal from Ronaldo.

But on 36 minutes Inzaghi pulled Marcello Lippi's side level against a spirited Bologna side with a headed goal from a deep cross from Zinedine Zidane.Inzaghi struck again four minutes after half-time and, with Zidane and Del Piero stretching the Bologna defence to breaking point, the title looked certain to stay in Turin. Ten minutes after the break the former Italy captain stole in on the left side of the Juve penalty area and, showing a surprising turn of pace, burst into the box and beat Peruzzi to level the scores.Juventus continued to dominate in midfield and poured forward in search of a winner. A 2-2 draw and a victory for Inter would have taken the title race through to next Sunday, when Juventus face a difficult trip to Atalanta while Inter play Empoli at home.With 10 minutes remaining Inzaghi finally found the goal which lifted the roof off the Delle Alpi stadium and sealed his side's third title in four years. But Juventus had not counted on Roberto Baggio, back at the club where he spent five hugely successful seasons between 1990 and 1995. And he scored in style as he clipped a delicate chip straight into the middle of the goal leaving David Seaman stranded.Arsenal were keener after the break and did by far the majority of the attacking, earning them a series of corners, and having an Emmanuel Petit shot which crashed against a post.
