Naylor saves draw for Celtic

Soccer Betting Lines

03/22/2009 - Dundee, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Celtic failed to take hold of the Scottish Premier League as the Hoops needed an 80th-minute goal from Lee Naylor to salvage a 2-2 draw with Dundee United at Tannadice Park on Sunday.

Celtic could have gone five points clear of second-placed Rangers with a win after Walter Smith's men were held to a 2-2 draw by Hearts on Saturday, but after Scott McDonald's opener in the 24th minute, Francisco Sandaza tallied twice for United before Naylor grabbed the equalizer with 10 minutes to play.

Aiden McGeady threatened early in the match for Celtic, but the Hoops went in front after 24 minutes from a corner kick.

Paul Hartley's cross was deflected towards his own goal by United's Garry Kenneth, forcing goalkeeper Lukasz Zaluska to parry the ball into the air. McDonald took advantage as he was on hand to head home from close range for his 13th league goal of the campaign.

United's Morgaro Gomis needed to clear the ball off the goal line from Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink's header to keep his side within a goal at the break, but they came out strong after the restart and leveled the match in the 47th minute.

Paul Dixon's corner kick was driven to the near post for Sandaza, and he flicked it high into the net past a number of Celtic players, while the second goal was just 10 minutes away.

Dixon once again played provider as he was sent down the right wing by James Wesolowski and crossed for the Spaniard to slot home.

Celtic heaped the pressure on over the last 20 minutes with McDonald forcing a good save from Zaluska, but he was unable to keep out a fantastic volley from Naylor after a poor clearance by Kenneth, helping Celtic take a point back to Glasgow.

FOOTBALL BETTING : Cassel Signs Contract

Kansas City, MO - Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.

NFL Betting
After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during offseason workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
The signing will come as welcome news to Cassel's new coaches and teammates. Amiable and hardworking, online football betting he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him. I think he's doing a pretty good job on the field, too," Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
nse to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity he'd been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community," Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."
