Honours for Dundee Lads?
Bobby Cox is odds on for left-back, if he is fit. Let's hope he will be. Ronnie Yeats and Ian Ure first and second favourite for centre-half. Alan Gilzean has a good chance of making at least the reserve team as an inside-left.That's how things are shaping 48 hours before Scotland's selectors meet to choose the team to play Ireland at Hampden on November 9.

Anti-Cold Capsules for 30 Workers
Thirty of the 500 workers employed in Dundee and Carnoustie by W.G. Grant & Co., jute textile manufacturers, hope to avoid colds this winter - and all because they agreed to become "guinea pigs"
The"guinea pigs" have already been issued with there "beat-the-cold" medicine - guaranteed to last for three months. This winter-blessing comes in the form of six anti-cold capsules with the impressive title of esobactulin oral vaccine. There are three orange and three green capsules in a tube.
One green one is taken each day for three days; an orange one is taken on the fourth day, and the remaining two orange ones are taken on the fifth day.
"For two or three days afterwards you will have a minor cold" says Miss Jan Dryburgh, personnel officer at W.G. Grant's. "I'm one of the"guinea pigs", and my nose has been running for the past few days. But it is clearing up now. It's just the after effects of the capsules, but you really feel alright."
"The capsules were issued to a few of our employees as a try-out. It all depends on the results we get whether or not we'll issue them generally next year. They cost about 7s a tube from chemists"

Dennis's Disc
Dundee tenor Dennis Clancy's first record will be in the shops on October 15. It's called "A Hundred Thousand Welcomes" - words and music by Hector Nicol - and according to Dennis it goes like a bomb.
Certainly the Waverley recording folk are giving it the big build-up - with glossy jacket showing the tenor complete with Highland sheepdog and write-up on the back. Maybe the handsome Clancy won't know himself by the time the record starts going its rounds. He's working on his own slim-line. In five months of no chocs-or-sweets and lunch only on alternate days, he has dropped a couple of stones to 13-11, cut his trouser statistic from 38 to 33 and had to have his latest 19-guinea suit "completely dismantled".
It all makes life sound pretty Spartan for the singer who is a non-smoker, non-drinker even of tea or coffee. But this is the latest Clancy self-assessment: "I feel on top of the world".
Bright Tips
Easy Cleaned Pot - To make the scrambled egg pan easier to clean, grease it beforehand with a margarine paper. After use, fill it with cold water to which has been added a dessertspoonful of salt and allow it to sit for 20 minutes before cleaning. Mrs M.B., Dundee.
Milk Won't Boil Over - Grease the upper inside edge of a pan well with butter and milk or anything of the kind will not boil over. Mrs Waugh, Lockerbie.
