Rovers’ UEFA Cup draw “fantastic”, says Williams

BLACKBURN ROVERS chief executive John Williams declared the club’s UEFA Cup draw against Celtic “absolutely fantastic”.

The Premiership side were pitted against the Scottish champions in a second-round game already being billed as the "Battle of Britain".

Adding to the tie is the fact that Rovers are managed by former Rangers boss Graeme Souness, and that ex-Rovers striker Chris Sutton is now at Parkhead.
