[Buffs Mad]

Buffs narrowly beat Castilla FC away from home in the league.

A fine tackle in 49 minutes from Graeme Souness marked his return to form - the home side's midfielder was unable to continue but, after protesting his innocence, Souness escaped with just a yellow. Alan Hansen took advantage in 54 minutes when he strode from the back through the midfield and unleashed a strike for the only goal of the match.

This leaves Buffs in 3rd fighting (not much of that shown recently) to claw back the 2nd place side while fending off the pack, breathing down their neck, to secure CL qualification.

In the 2nd leg of the Champions League semi-final at home, Buffs ran out 5-0 winners to go forward to the final 10-0 on aggregate. Dalglish suffered from injury yet again, limpimg off with an ankle strain after only 4 minutes. Mols replaced Dalglish just as Baxter swung in a corner for Hansen to head home on the 10th minute mark. Solo efforts from Jim Baxter and Jimmy Johnstone saw Buffs go into the break 3 goals to the good. Billy Bremner hand a hand, or rather foot, in both the fourth and fifth goals with passes for Hansen and Souness to convert in the 56th and 79th minutes respectively.

Not a difficult test for the Buffs and whether they are performing consistently enough to do themselves justice on the big stage remains to be seen.
