Serie A Roundup, May 11



MILAN, Italy (AP) - Christian Panucci and Daniele De Rossi scored to lead AS Roma to a 2-1 victory over Atalanta and move within one point of Serie A leader Inter Milan with one round left in the season.
Panucci headed home in the 23rd minute, and De Rossi scored on a free kick in the 67th that found the top corner of the net.

Gianpaolo Bellini scored for Atalanta in the 88th.

Inter could only draw 2-2 draw at home to Siena, which twice rallied from a goal down. Inter defender Marco Materazzi missed a penalty in the 78th that would have put the defending champions ahead 3-2.

Inter leads with 82 points, while Roma has 81.

In the final round, Inter travels to play Parma, which has to win to avoid relegation. Roma plays at Catania, which will be relegated if it loses and Parma wins.

Also, Sunday it was: Fiorentina 3, Parma 1; Genoa 0, Lazio 2; Juventus 1, Catania 1; Livorno 0, Torino 1; Napoli 3, AC Milan 1; Palermo 0, Sampdoria 2; Reggina 2, Empoli 0; and Udinese 0, Cagliari 2.


Scottish Premier League Roundup, May 11



GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) - Stephen McManus and Scott McDonald scored a goal each Sunday to help Celtic beat Hibernian 2-0 and restore the team's four-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premier League.
McManus headed in a corner from Shunsuke Nakamura in the 36th minute and McDonald nodded in a free kick from Barry Robson four minutes from the end for his 25th league goal of the season.

Hibs, chasing a place in the UEFA Cup, was reduced to 10 men in the 83rd when defender Martin Canning was sent off for a second yellow card.

Celtic's 27th league win of the season gives the team 86 points from 37 games with one match to go. Second-place Rangers, which beat Dundee United 3-1 Saturday, has 82 points but has two games in hand.

Rangers, which has already won the League Cup, faces Zenit St. Petersburg in Wednesday's UEFA Cup final and is in the Scottish Cup final on May 24 against Queen of the South.
