Muir expects Talbot tie with Celts to be noisy

- ALAN ROBERTSON

WULLIE MUIR took the road to Hampden every second week for a fair chunk of his career without ever hearing it roar.

Now the Auchinleck keeper is ready to add his voice to the Rugby Park rumble - because he'll be given the silent treatment if he doesn't.

The 32-year-old joined sixthtier Talbot last summer, his reluctance to speak in hushed tones when it comes to commandeering his defence a big plus point in the management team's book.

Muir is poised to walk out with four-year-old daughter Georgia, set to be a mascot for the Scottish Cup fourth-round tie, for what is unlikely to be a quiet evening.
