It's Champions League Final weekend, and while there may not be any British teams lifting the cup on Saturday, anything could happen in the all-German affair. Whether Bayern Munich take it home as expected, or Borussia Dortmund pull one out of the bag, chances are, your telly at home just won't do the match justice. Then Sunday sees Celtic and Hibernian go head to head in the Scottish Cup Final in Hampden Park, and if you haven't managed to nab a ticket, watching it on the big screen is the next best thing. Boot loads of sports bars and pubs in Glasgow will be amped up for the games this Bank Holiday Weekend; and with a killer atmosphere and a pint in hand, you're onto a winner no matter who you've backed.
