    'Celtic Cup' set to start in 2009

    Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland have agreed "in principle" to play a series of three biennial "Celtic Cup" tournaments.
    An agreement signed on Monday commits the countries to arranging the tournaments on a league basis.

    Home and away games will be rotated from one tournament to the next with each team playing three matches in each of the competitions.

    England have not ruled themselves out of the competition.

    It had been widely assumed that England would not participate, with the Football Association looking to generate greater income from summer tours and lucrative friendlies.

    The old Home Championship, which included England but not the Republic of Ireland, was staged every year until 1984.

    But matches between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland were eventually scrapped because of increasing fixture congestion.

    Last week Prime Minister Gordon Brown said he would welcome the revival of home internationals to ease the pain of Euro 2008 misery for the four home nations.

    At least we can probrably win this tournament but other then that seems a bit mickey mouse stuff. I dont think anyone realistically expects NI to have kept up their current form till then. Scotland would be competitive. Wales? meh :rolleyes:
