Paris, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - PSG squandered a chance to take over the top spot in Ligue 1 on Sunday after being held to a 0-0 draw at home by Lille. PSG entered the weekend level with Montpellier at the summit, but had a chance to take over sole possession of the top spot after Montpellier's 1-1 draw with Toulouse on Saturday.

 

PSG's Kevin Gameiro had a good chance in the first half to put his team in front when he was played free by Javier Pastore, only to fire wide of the net.

 

Mathieu Debuchy's header required a sharp save from PSG goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu to keep it out, while Sirigu was needed to make another decent stop on Ireneusz Jelen to keep the match level.

 

Ludovic Sane's goal in the 22nd minute provided the difference as he played a one-two with Yoan Gouffran before finishing with a right-footed shot to help Bordeaux to its fourth successive win at home.

 

Sochaux has now earned one of a possible 15 points from its last five matches and sits one point above the drop zone.

 

The visitors created the better chances over the course of 90 minutes but were punished in the 83rd minute when Johan Cavalli's cross was converted by Diawara, handing Rennes a defeat that keeps the club in seventh place.

 

Glasgow, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Celtic is facing charges from UEFA for the second time in two months as the club is being charged with two offenses related to the Europa League match against Udinese in Italy. UEFA has confirmed that Celtic is being charged with "the displaying of a banner of an offensive nature and the setting off of fireworks by supporters."

 

The case will be heard on January 26 by UEFA's control and disciplinary body.

Problem with Bears?

Chicago, IL - New Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler and star linebacker Brian Urlacher shot down reports of a rift, saying they're simply not true.

"There's nothing between us," Cutler said Thursday, when he reported to training camp. "I just want to put that to rest. There never has been anything between us."

Urlacher added: "I never said what I was quoted as saying and that's it. I have a lot of respect for Jay. I think Jay knows that."
Former Bears receiver Bobby Wade caused a stir when he told Minneapolis radio station KFAN-AM that Urlacher used a profanity while questioning Cutler's manhood during a conversation in Las Vegas last weekend. Wade, who now plays for the Vikings, said Urlacher used a profane version of the word "wimp" during the interview that had to be edited out.
go radio station WSCR-AM also reported that Urlacher had to be restrained from confronting Cutler during organized team activities.
"I wouldn't go face-to-face with Brian, anyway," Cutler said. "No, that's never happened. I've hung out with Brian away from the facility numerous times and we've always gotten along."
Urlacher, noting he was limited by a groin injury, denied the reports in an interview with the Chicago Tribune and did it again when he reported to camp.
"I didn't practice this summer, so I don't know how I would fight the guy if I didn't practice," Urlacher said. "We have no problems. I'm excited about football starting. I'm excited to have him as our quarterback."
Why would Wade say that?
"I don't know," Urlacher said. "Maybe he's jealous because we have a good quarterback now."
Cutler said the first he heard of any friction was when he got a call from Urlacher to clear the air. Urlacher, however, said he had already taken several calls from teammates wondering if the reports were true when Cutler phoned.
"He called me and I said, What's up (expletive), what are you doing?'" a grinning Urlacher said, uttering the same word he allegedly used with Wade. "It's so dumb to me that this even got to this point, but it did and then here we are."
better place after going 9-7 and missing the playoffs for the second straight year. They have a franchise quarterback for the first time in decades after acquiring Cutler in an offseason trade with Denver. But there are questions about his attitude following a fallout with Broncos management and new coach Josh McDaniels.
His critics include former Bears coach Mike Ditka and former Indianapolis and Tampa Bay coach Tony Dungy, one of Smith's mentors. Smith, however, said Cutler has been a model teammate so far while denying any animosity with Urlacher.
"There's no issue with Jay and Brian, except Brian and Jay are both excited about being teammates for our club this year," coach Lovie Smith said. "No more than that. We can't spend a whole lot of time on something that isn't true. I have talked to the players. Whenever something comes out, you have to address it, but it's a non-issue."
In some ways, Cutler is getting a second chance in Chicago, an opportunity to repair his reputation.
Smith said another quarterback - Michael Vick - deserves one, although he doesn't see it happening with the Bears, who lack an experienced backup. The former Atlanta Falcons star, who served a 23-month sentence for running a dogfighting ring, said Thursday he is getting close to signing with a pro football team.
"A second chance, like everyone in society who has paid their debt to society," Smith said. "He deserves a second chance. As far as we're concerned, we like this team that we have right now."
Particularly the new quarterback.
"Me and Brian have been on a good relationship since I've been here, and I expect it to continue that way," Cutler said.
