Right, that’s it for today’s weekend countdown live blog. Thanks for reading, for your favourite centre-back duo submissions and for engaging with The Guardian in general.

All roads lead to West Ham v Wolves tonight and then a busy weekend of action after that. Enjoy the football, stay safe and be kind.

Here’s a summary of the main headlines as they currently stand.

Celtic boss Martin O’Neill has hailed the return of the club’s Green Brigade supporters group, believing they could be key in the Scottish Premiership title race.

The group were banned after exhibiting “violent and threatening behaviour” at a home match against Falkirk in October but will return to Celtic Park this weekend after being reinstated for last weekend’s 2-1 win at Dundee.

“In terms of support, in terms of vocal support, it’s great to see them back again,” O’Neill said. “I think that that would give us a boost. The support we got from Dundee was fantastic.

“I thought they kept us going during the course of the game. They didn’t seem to be highly critical of us when we conceded the penalty. It could have dropped away and they kept us going.”

Celtic are three points off leaders Hearts, and two behind second-placed Rangers, with six games left in the season. They host St Mirren tomorrow, with Hearts at home to Motherwell and Rangers away at Falkirk on Sunday.
