:00:00. > :00:13.Mediterranean in the search for the missing

:00:14. > :00:19.And these are the headlines this Friday evening.

:00:20. > :00:22.Why one of the youngest members of the Assembly could

:00:23. > :00:26.be in the running to become Justice Minister.

:00:27. > :00:28.Brendan Rodgers from Carnlough is the new manager of

:00:29. > :00:34.The mother of a teenager killed by drugs is left distraught

:00:35. > :00:42.75 years of tobacco production in Ballymena draws to an end,

:00:43. > :00:46.as workers leave the factory for the last time.

:00:47. > :00:58.It's a crunch night for Ulster rugby as they travel to take on Leinster

:00:59. > :01:03.in the forecast this weekend, but it's not a complete washout.

:01:04. > :01:13.An independent Unionist Assembly Member has said she would consider

:01:14. > :01:17.taking the job of Justice Minister if offered it.

:01:18. > :01:22.Claire Sugden, who's one of Stormont's youngest elected

:01:23. > :01:25.members, met the First and Deputy First

:01:26. > :01:31.Our political correspondent, Gareth Gordon, explains why

:01:32. > :01:33.she is in the frame for this important post

:01:34. > :01:38.This is Claire Sugden, with her fiance, on the day

:01:39. > :01:41.she got elected as an MLA earlier this month.

:01:42. > :01:43.So, how can you go from relative obscurity to potential Justice

:01:44. > :01:51.It says a lot about Stormont where this sensitive post has

:01:52. > :01:53.been held, up to now, by the cross-community

:01:54. > :01:58.They look like turning it down, so, an alternative may

:01:59. > :02:01.Claire Sugden was invited to a meeting

:02:02. > :02:24.If she was to take the job, she knows already something

:02:25. > :02:27.of the pressures faced by some of the people under

:02:28. > :02:38.I remember once getting a telephone concession we would have to go to a

:02:39. > :02:42.safe house. We didn't go, thankfully it wasn't necessary, but it was a

:02:43. > :02:46.real threat. The worrying side was that was normality for family and

:02:47. > :02:47.families across Northern Ireland. with whom she'd have to

:02:48. > :02:59.work closely. This House of Cards is falling, and

:03:00. > :03:01.the only good double come is if those at the top come crashing down

:03:02. > :03:03.to do not up again. But, today, someone who's part

:03:04. > :03:15.of the Stormont hierarchy She has the skills and ability, she

:03:16. > :03:20.is someone we have been speaking to. We have had a good discussion with

:03:21. > :03:22.her yesterday. It is a discussion we will continue one option we will

:03:23. > :03:26.continue to do consider and discuss. The man who yesterday

:03:27. > :03:28.announced his party is going into opposition believes the DUP

:03:29. > :03:39.and Sinn Fein should take I think we are beyond the point

:03:40. > :03:42.where these two parties need to get somebody from outside of the

:03:43. > :03:44.executive to do that job. I think it is a disgrace, it is an issue of

:03:45. > :03:45.their own making. Arlene Foster has ruled out

:03:46. > :03:47.Sinn Fein taking the job. Would they have the same

:03:48. > :04:01.problem with the DUP. I am not going to rise to these

:04:02. > :04:03.suggestions or put downs. We have a job of work to do, that is what we

:04:04. > :04:04.were elected to do. Stormont's credibility is once

:04:05. > :04:12.more under scrutiny. Gareth Gordon, BBC

:04:13. > :04:14.Newsline, Belfast. Brendan Rodgers is the new manager

:04:15. > :04:18.of Celtic Football Club. The Carnlough man, who is a lifelong

:04:19. > :04:21.Celtic fan, was in Scotland Chris McLaughlin, senior football

:04:22. > :04:25.reporter from BBC Scotland, spoke was a good fit for the club,

:04:26. > :04:40.and Rodgers himself. I suppose only time will tell but

:04:41. > :04:45.Celtic fans were looking for a big-name after the experiment of

:04:46. > :04:49.Ronny Deila which failed. They certainly have one, a man with

:04:50. > :04:55.English premiership pedigree, he took Swansea to the top flight, he

:04:56. > :04:59.led Liverpool to second in the table. It is certainly seen as

:05:00. > :05:03.something of a coup for Celtic. Brendan Rodgers has said it is an

:05:04. > :05:08.honour, he has followed Celtic all his life and wants to give fans a

:05:09. > :05:13.team to be proud of, and bring exciting, entertaining and winning

:05:14. > :05:20.football. The chief Executive said, we wanted to bring a man to the club

:05:21. > :05:24.to match our own aspirations. Those aspirations will be to get Celtic

:05:25. > :05:30.back into the Champions League. They have missed out in the past two

:05:31. > :05:35.years. Celtic will be looking to get back into the top table. What

:05:36. > :05:40.details have you got on his contract?

:05:41. > :05:45.A 12 month rolling contract. Some may think that is a short contract.

:05:46. > :05:52.It is fairly standard. Gordon Strachan, Gordon Lennon, were both

:05:53. > :05:57.on 12 month rolling contracts. It remains to be seen how long Brendan

:05:58. > :06:03.Rodgers will remain. Also, given Celtic do not have the millions and

:06:04. > :06:06.millions that Liverpool have, he would need some assurance from the

:06:07. > :06:11.board he will have the kind of money he would like to take Celtic back to

:06:12. > :06:15.the Champions League. That remains to be seen over the summer.

:06:16. > :06:18.The grieving mother of a teenager who died from drugs has spoken

:06:19. > :06:20.of her great distress at seeing how his photo is being

:06:21. > :06:25.Adam Owens was 17 when he passed away last year

:06:26. > :06:32.His mother Adele released his picture to the media to warn other

:06:33. > :06:35.young people of the dangers of such drugs.

:06:36. > :06:41.She told our reporter Lisa McAlister what followed.

:06:42. > :06:44.It's been a year of firsts for Adele Wallace.

:06:45. > :06:54.And, just last month, the first anniversary of his death.

:06:55. > :06:57.While trying to cope with that, she came across an article on a US

:06:58. > :07:01.website which used a picture of Adam, and wrongly described him

:07:02. > :07:05.as being from upstate New York, and dying as a result of a new drug

:07:06. > :07:11.craze involving anti-diaorrhea medication.

:07:12. > :07:20.To be honest, it really put me right down, seriously depressed. Everyday

:07:21. > :07:25.is a tough day for me if I am honest. To come across an article

:07:26. > :07:27.like that which was so unjustified and wrong, it has upset me so much.

:07:28. > :07:30.I nearly lost the to live. It did take down Adam's picture

:07:31. > :07:40.and any reference to him. The website did not respond when we

:07:41. > :07:45.asked for a comment. But, by then, it had been shared

:07:46. > :07:48.and viewed hundreds and hundreds of times by a number

:07:49. > :07:50.of other sites and users. It also became a target

:07:51. > :07:55.for so-called Some I would not repeat on, because

:07:56. > :08:03.they are so sexually perverted and disgusting. They were horrific,

:08:04. > :08:09.disgusting and filthy comments. Other people were like, if you take

:08:10. > :08:11.drugs, you deserve to die, and insensitive.

:08:12. > :08:16.Some people will say, some will be nasty. Some of the behaviour of the

:08:17. > :08:21.individuals who have copied this image and shared it, is mirrored in

:08:22. > :08:27.the comments they have made around issues to do with sexuality, gender,

:08:28. > :08:30.closely linked with hate crime. Some could have committed criminal

:08:31. > :08:34.offences. On one social networking site, the

:08:35. > :08:45.original article is still available and has been shared by at least 24

:08:46. > :08:47.users. Despite the distress, Adele says she will continue campaigning

:08:48. > :08:48.to raise awareness about the dangers of all drugs.

:08:49. > :08:52.How money from the Big Lottery is helping children with sight loss

:08:53. > :09:03.For the last 75 years, workers have produced

:09:04. > :09:06.cigarettes and other tobacco products in Ballymena.

:09:07. > :09:09.The closure of the Gallahers JTI factory begins today,

:09:10. > :09:12.with the last shift for the majority of the 870

:09:13. > :09:20.Our reporter, David Maxwell, has spent the day in the town.

:09:21. > :09:26.They have known this day was coming for over a year and a half, but that

:09:27. > :09:33.did not make leaving for the last time any easier.

:09:34. > :09:36.A lot of people are very sad. And some people are looking forward to a

:09:37. > :09:39.new chapter in their lives. Basically, it is a sad thing for

:09:40. > :09:45.Ballymena. You can understand with what it is

:09:46. > :09:49.like at the moment. It is a tragedy for the local economy. And everybody

:09:50. > :09:56.is very upset. So sad it is closing and with The

:09:57. > :10:03.Young Ones coming up. I hope something takes the place to give

:10:04. > :10:06.jobs to people. Between 500 and 600 people left the

:10:07. > :10:10.plant this week, under 200 will remain as the factory is rundown. It

:10:11. > :10:15.will close for good next spring. After decades of production,

:10:16. > :10:21.cigarette manufacturing stopped at this factory at 9pm yesterday. Some

:10:22. > :10:24.products will still be made for the next few months, but large-scale

:10:25. > :10:28.tobacco manufacturing has now finished in Northern Ireland. Most

:10:29. > :10:35.people still call this plant Gallahers JTI, but it was taken over

:10:36. > :10:39.by JTI in 2007. JTI has been an excellent employer

:10:40. > :10:45.in the area over the years of providing many jobs to generations

:10:46. > :10:47.of families. When people got a job at JTI, it was considered a job for

:10:48. > :10:52.life. The company says the illegal trade

:10:53. > :10:56.in cigarettes, excise duty and the new plain packaging laws which came

:10:57. > :11:00.into force today, all played a part in meaning it had to stop its County

:11:01. > :11:04.Antrim operations. Ballymena has been no stranger to job losses in

:11:05. > :11:08.recent times. It is going to be a huge blow, the

:11:09. > :11:14.first of many. We have Michelin coming down the line. The physical

:11:15. > :11:23.closure of JTI will be next year, 117 five until May next year.

:11:24. > :11:27.-- 175. Some believe there could be good news ahead of this site.

:11:28. > :11:31.It is my understanding that talks are well advanced for the sale of

:11:32. > :11:38.the JTI factory site, there could be some good news on the horizon. JTI

:11:39. > :11:41.was keen to retain a manufacturing legacy on that site.

:11:42. > :11:44.There was no confirmation and other manufacturer will move here and it

:11:45. > :11:49.will be sometime before the full impact of these job losses is known.

:11:50. > :11:50.What is certain is that these lorries laden with cigarettes are

:11:51. > :11:58.the last. Families who care for adults

:11:59. > :12:00.with learning disabilities in the Western Trust area

:12:01. > :12:02.are demanding an independent investigation into why millions

:12:03. > :12:05.of pounds, that should have been spent providing them with care,

:12:06. > :12:07.was instead spent on other services. Politicians met the trust today,

:12:08. > :12:10.and were told that the underfunding Our south-west reporter,

:12:11. > :12:13.Julian Fowler, has been speaking Caroline Wheeler is a full-time

:12:14. > :12:19.carer for her 31-year-old son Lee Looking after him 24/7

:12:20. > :12:38.has taken its toll. It is the hardest job, 24/7 care.

:12:39. > :12:41.Having a newborn baby, you hold that child in your hands until somebody

:12:42. > :12:44.responsible that you trust means you can let go.

:12:45. > :12:46.But, getting that care has been a fight that even involved

:12:47. > :12:54.taking judicial reviews against the Western Trust.

:12:55. > :13:01.When he left school, that was the hardest point. I thought five years

:13:02. > :13:06.with the trust Krachunov fought five years for a payment but it put me in

:13:07. > :13:10.the grave. This battle of wills to get a

:13:11. > :13:15.service that is supposed to be there on paper but on the ground it isn't.

:13:16. > :13:17.It is he who shouts the loudest. For years, parents have been told

:13:18. > :13:19.there wasn't enough funding. But a review of the Western Trust

:13:20. > :13:23.by the Health And Social Care Board identified underfunding

:13:24. > :13:25.of ?8 million in one year, money which should have been

:13:26. > :13:27.spent in adult learning disability services,

:13:28. > :13:40.but was allocated instead It doesn't come as a shock to me.

:13:41. > :13:44.Any time we asked for any help, the trust had the same excuse, we have

:13:45. > :13:49.no money. We have been asking for ages where is the money going? They

:13:50. > :13:49.could never come up with any answers.

:13:50. > :13:51.Carers say it has caused a decimation in services

:13:52. > :14:03.We have missed out on things that have been happening in other trusts,

:14:04. > :14:08.we have missed out on day care, direct payments, missed out

:14:09. > :14:11.particularly on availability of social workers and community workers

:14:12. > :14:12.and specialists behavioural people who can provide the services we

:14:13. > :14:13.need. The Western Trust hasn't revealed

:14:14. > :14:15.the total underfunding. But MLAs were briefed

:14:16. > :14:17.at Altnagelvin today, and were told that a ?4.4 million

:14:18. > :14:27.underspend was first I am surprised in 1996 when it was

:14:28. > :14:31.clearly identified it wasn't actioned then. But we are aware of

:14:32. > :14:35.it now and you can rest assured all the political parties are working in

:14:36. > :14:40.unison to get it sorted. What we need to know and the public

:14:41. > :14:46.need to ascertain is what happened, when it happened, and how it should

:14:47. > :14:50.have been corrected, by who and when.

:14:51. > :14:51.Carers are demanding that the service they demanded is now fully

:14:52. > :14:55.restored. This week, we've been looking

:14:56. > :14:57.at Northern Ireland's Islamic community, from our young Muslims,

:14:58. > :14:59.to Sunni and Shia In some countries, Islam is seen

:15:00. > :15:03.as a male-dominated culture. In the final part of this series,

:15:04. > :15:06.Rick Faragher has been to meet two women living here who are from very

:15:07. > :15:19.different backgrounds. Successful. Female. And Muslim.

:15:20. > :15:23.A professor of medicine in Cairo. After moving here 15 years ago, she

:15:24. > :15:28.struggled to adapt. I spent some time at home, for the

:15:29. > :15:34.children to settle in the school. After a few months, I started to

:15:35. > :15:38.look, it wasn't me to sit at home and be satisfied by only looking

:15:39. > :15:42.after the house and children. Some people believe Islam is

:15:43. > :15:46.oppressive to women, what do you say to them?

:15:47. > :15:55.I would say, you are wrong. Because you are trying to stereotype Muslim

:15:56. > :16:01.women in one frame which is a woman behind a veil, voiceless, dependent

:16:02. > :16:06.on other people, all she knows in life is marriage and children. This

:16:07. > :16:10.is not reality. We are human beings, a mixture of things. Religion is a

:16:11. > :16:15.big part but there are other parts of people which affects them.

:16:16. > :16:22.Is it difficult being a Muslim woman in Northern Ireland?

:16:23. > :16:26.There are very unusual occasions, in the street, people look at you as a

:16:27. > :16:32.stranger. This is excused, because I look different. In my country, I

:16:33. > :16:35.feel if I see a foreigner I would look at him.

:16:36. > :16:40.The culture and appearance of Muslim women changes from country to

:16:41. > :16:45.country. Some wear headscarves as a form of modesty. Somewhere full body

:16:46. > :16:50.garments. While others don't observe any special dress rules.

:16:51. > :16:55.I am happy to be identified and defined as a Muslim. I still love

:16:56. > :17:01.fashion, picking out nice clothes, feeling feminine. But, for me, the

:17:02. > :17:05.covering is something that keeps modesty will stop Brenda converted

:17:06. > :17:10.to Islam 15 years ago. She is now secretary of a local

:17:11. > :17:18.Muslim Association. When I find that Muslims actually

:17:19. > :17:22.believed in the oneness of God, the stories of profits, Abraham, Noah, I

:17:23. > :17:27.was drawn to it. One of my immediate reaction is was, that is ours,

:17:28. > :17:39.whether Catholic or Protestant all Christians, that was my Association.

:17:40. > :17:45.We remain as a family a close-knit family. But with different values

:17:46. > :17:51.and beliefs. Even a Muslim family where one family is stricter than

:17:52. > :17:54.another, that clash can happen. It is my preference for men and

:17:55. > :18:01.women to pray separately, as a Muslim. And as a woman. Because we

:18:02. > :18:06.pray in rows quite close to one another, there is a prescribed way.

:18:07. > :18:10.We stand shoulder-to-shoulder, we bow, in frustration with our head on

:18:11. > :18:17.the ground. If the room is packed, you can bang into the woman in front

:18:18. > :18:22.of you behind. If that was then, it would become very difficult and

:18:23. > :18:28.uncomfortable. Islam is seen by some as a man's

:18:29. > :18:30.world, but not by these local Muslim women who say they are empowered,

:18:31. > :18:36.and liberated by their faith. A project that helps blind children

:18:37. > :18:39.who go to mainstream schools has got almost ?700,000 from the Big

:18:40. > :18:44.Lottery. The scheme is called Family Insight,

:18:45. > :18:46.and is run by the RNIB Our education correspondent, Robbie

:18:47. > :18:54.Meredith, has been finding out. Like her P3 classmates

:18:55. > :18:56.at Lisnasharragh Primary School in Belfast, Sala-Joy

:18:57. > :19:11.is hard at work. First, we did spellings, and next we

:19:12. > :19:13.did, we listened to a movie, and then we did group work on that.

:19:14. > :19:19.But she is blind, which brings many challenges.

:19:20. > :19:25.A very simple thing because she can't see, she can't read, can't see

:19:26. > :19:27.the board, it has been important to have a one on one classroom

:19:28. > :19:27.assistant. Her school has also

:19:28. > :19:36.been taught a lot. Even in terms of after-school

:19:37. > :19:39.activities, making sure she is comfortable in the playground, in

:19:40. > :19:41.the canteen. Those are things we have had to address and consider.

:19:42. > :19:46.There are over 2,000 blind and partially-sighted children

:19:47. > :19:51.Many go to mainstream schools like this, and the inspectorate says

:19:52. > :19:52.that provision for them is generally very good.

:19:53. > :19:54.But an organisation which represents parents of blind children,

:19:55. > :19:56.and will benefit from this grant, says that

:19:57. > :20:04.there's still a need for more support.

:20:05. > :20:12.They want their child to do their best educationally. What our job is,

:20:13. > :20:14.we come in and tell them what services are available, for their

:20:15. > :20:15.children. As a result of the funding,

:20:16. > :20:18.they now employ a full-time And, though she's at the start

:20:19. > :20:21.of her school journey, Sala-Joy already knows

:20:22. > :20:31.where she wants it to end. What do you to be when you get

:20:32. > :20:34.older, have you anything you would like to do or be?

:20:35. > :20:38.I have longing to be a teacher. But, first, the big

:20:39. > :20:52.rugby match tonight. Win or lose in Dublin, it will be an

:20:53. > :20:53.evening which will define Ulster's season.

:20:54. > :20:56.Yes, crunch time in under an hour at the RDS in Dublin.

:20:57. > :20:58.Leinster versus Ulster in the first of the two Pro12

:20:59. > :21:04.Gavin Andrews is there for BBC Newsline.

:21:05. > :21:12.No waiting has ever won a Pro12 semifinal. Former Ulster back Ryan

:21:13. > :21:19.Constable, they are up against it tonight?

:21:20. > :21:22.Leinster, not their first, they are used to delivering in big games, it

:21:23. > :21:25.is a final, they know what is at stake, it difficult is a

:21:26. > :21:29.proposition. They are in good form.

:21:30. > :21:35.Form and momentum, they inflicted a heavy defeat on Leinster. They will

:21:36. > :21:38.take that confidence into this game. And that series of games where they

:21:39. > :21:41.have delivered where they needed. They will need to perform on the

:21:42. > :21:45.night. What are the key areas, can Ulster

:21:46. > :21:50.do it? It is up fright, tight five,

:21:51. > :21:56.delivering a stable platform, the set piece, the strike power is out

:21:57. > :22:01.wide. It will be confrontational, physical. It is a semifinal,

:22:16. > :22:17.remains in contention during the second round

:22:18. > :22:19.of the Irish Open at the K Club in County Kildare.

:22:20. > :22:22.The man to beat right now is the current Masters

:22:23. > :22:33.It was a day when Rory McIlroy saved his best till last.

:22:34. > :22:38.COMMENTATOR: What a way to finish. In front of adoring fans. What had

:22:39. > :22:43.gone before wasn't too bad either, five birdies in total. Within one

:22:44. > :22:46.shot of the leaders, Danny Willett and Marc Warren, going into the

:22:47. > :22:53.weekend, perfect progression ahead of a big night out.

:22:54. > :22:58.Tonight, Ulster, a big game. I am going to go. It will be tough

:22:59. > :23:02.playing Leinster at home. They have been on a nice run of form over the

:23:03. > :23:07.past couple of months. It will be great to see Ulster beat Leinster in

:23:08. > :23:11.the own backyard. All Graeme McDowell would like to

:23:12. > :23:16.see is the ball drop into the hole. A frustrating day. Seven shots

:23:17. > :23:20.adrift but it could be worse. I was thinking I would get a couple

:23:21. > :23:28.of days off if I kept playing that way. I managed to dig deep. The 18th

:23:29. > :23:32.hole was the kick I needed. And started to scramble well.

:23:33. > :23:36.Not the day overnight leader Danny Willett wanted either. The Masters

:23:37. > :23:39.champion firmly in the sights of the tournament host.

:23:40. > :23:42.This Sunday, Derry and Tyrone meet for the fifth time this season.

:23:43. > :23:44.Up for grabs is a place in the semi-final of

:23:45. > :23:46.the Ulster Senior Football Championship.

:23:47. > :23:48.The previous four encounters have all resulted in wins for Tyrone,

:23:49. > :24:05.COMMENTATOR: Barton is in there. He pushes him. A rivalry which used

:24:06. > :24:10.to define the Ulster championships and on the evidence of the Cup final

:24:11. > :24:14.the edge is still there. Tyrone won that day. Sunday is a different ball

:24:15. > :24:19.game. I have learned with age perhaps and

:24:20. > :24:24.experience, the Ulster championships is about more than Derry and Tyrone.

:24:25. > :24:29.We have to look at ourselves, our systems, and try and get them to

:24:30. > :24:32.focus not on the event of playing Tyrone, or anyone else for that

:24:33. > :24:35.matter, but certainly what we think are going to be the things that will

:24:36. > :24:38.give us victory. From the opposing camp comes a

:24:39. > :24:43.similar outlook. Well, rivalry to me is the

:24:44. > :24:48.difference between Tyrone and Derry, Tyrone and any of our neighbours. We

:24:49. > :24:53.are a county with lots of neighbours, and with neighbours who

:24:54. > :24:57.live close to you, rivalry increases, intensity increases. To

:24:58. > :25:07.me it is no different than any of the derby matches at any time.

:25:08. > :25:09.A decade ago, Derry overcame them in their own backyard. Should history

:25:10. > :25:11.repeat itself, it will be an upset. Sunday's game is live

:25:12. > :25:13.on BBC Two, from 1:50pm. Belfast has won the bid to host

:25:14. > :25:16.the World Ice Hockey Championships, after a vote at the sport's

:25:17. > :25:19.international congress in Moscow. The SSE Arena will host

:25:20. > :25:21.the Division 1B tournament, which will see six countries compete

:25:22. > :25:23.next April, including Team Great Britain,

:25:24. > :25:24.and Northern Ireland. Finally, this evening,

:25:25. > :25:26.Paddy Barnes has been His corner stool collapsed,

:25:27. > :25:51.and poor Paddy hit the canvas. It has ended up wet today with more

:25:52. > :25:56.rain this weekend. The rain has affected the K Club, the open, and

:25:57. > :26:02.it will be damp for the Ulster match this evening. Not a bad evening to

:26:03. > :26:07.sit in and watch it. More rain for another few hours. It will ease away

:26:08. > :26:11.briefly because, towards the end of the night, there will be heavy and

:26:12. > :26:16.potentially boundary rain from the south. Not a cold night but if you

:26:17. > :26:21.are at early there could be some thundery showers. Some mini

:26:22. > :26:24.downpours in places. A lot of water on the roads, possibly some

:26:25. > :26:29.localised flooding. That area of rain will move away by the end of

:26:30. > :26:33.the morning. Much time is looking drier and brighter. In the sun, it

:26:34. > :26:37.will warm up, temperatures around lunchtime in many places up to 15

:26:38. > :26:43.degrees. The afternoon will be the drier half

:26:44. > :26:48.of the day. Not completely dry. Once temperatures rise, we will see

:26:49. > :26:51.another fresh spring thing of showers breaking out, which could be

:26:52. > :26:57.sharp. Compared to the early morning, it won't be as wet. By the

:26:58. > :27:02.end of the day, many cases will be dry with warm sunshine, tempters up

:27:03. > :27:06.to 17 degrees. Warm in County Kildare tomorrow,

:27:07. > :27:12.temperatures hitting 18. And the risk of thundery showers.

:27:13. > :27:18.The weather will be cooler, fresher and drier on Sunday. Still a few

:27:19. > :27:22.showers but not heavy. A fresh afternoon in Celtic Park for

:27:23. > :27:25.the match with the risk of one or two showers but hopefully more drier

:27:26. > :27:29.weather. More dry weather is on the cards in

:27:30. > :27:34.the new week, high-pressure arriving. Driver the beginning of

:27:35. > :27:36.next week. Heavy showers all especially tomorrow.
