Ujpest looking for Vasas win before the winter break

Ujpest Dozsa travel to face Vasas tomorrow in their final league game before the winter break.

Willie McStay's side are currently sitting in second place in the Hungarian league but trail leaders Videoton by six points after losing to Videoton in their last league fixture.

Ujpest did gain some revenge on that result with a 1-0 win over Videoton in the Hungarian Cup with the second leg to come in midweek before the season closes down for almost three months.

Loan Celt Mark Millar has returned to Budapest after receiving treatment for his hamstring in Glasgow with McStay hoping that the midfielder can feature in the second leg of the cup tie with Videoton.

Two wins against Vasas and Videoton would leave Ujpest in contention for the league and cup double when the season resumes and give the club a realistic chance of picking up their first silverware in over a decade.

Cheers Joe.

Good to have someone keeping an eye on how Willie is doing in Hungary.

Do you think Celtic will get a few of the Upjest players over to Glasgow during their Winter break!

I think that a couple of Hungarian players will be spending some time with Celtic during their break.

Being watched on a weekly basis should lead to better decision making than judging a player on dvd highlights and then watching him once or twice although in the case of Artur Boruc it was an inspired judgement from Gordon Strachan.

However at the same time a loan fee was paid for Du Wei although being given your debut on a half frozen pitch away in the Scottish Cup wasn't the best of ideas.

Ujpest are hoping to arrange a couple of games in January against Scottish teams as they build up for their season resuming.
