Pick of the night: Shameless, Channel 4, 10pm
It’s nearly at the end of the series in Chatsworth and things are getting as crazy as ever in working-class Manchester. Joe’s determination to start a new life with Karen gathers pace when his father dies and he finally persuades her to leave the estate with him. When she tries to come clean to Jamie, he has a few confessions of his own to make, which force Joe to take drastic action. Some classic antics from Frank as usual.
Sporting highlight: Celtic v Rangers, Sky Sports 3, 7.30pm
It’s the final Old Firm derby of the season as Celtic play for pride following a disastrous season. Rangers comfortably won the league last weekend and will really want to rub salt in the wounds of their bitter rivals. Irish trio of Robbie Keane, Darren O’Dea and Aiden McGeady were all on the scoresheet for the hoops at the weekend and we expect a cracking match tonight. Form simply goes out the window.
More TV: Dirty money: The story of the Criminal Assets Bureau, TV3, 10pm.
This is a repeat of the show presented by Paul Williams but it is a great chance to catch it if you haven’t seen it. This is the story of the CAB, which was set up in 1996 to recover the proceeds of organised crime in Ireland. The series begins with a look at the events that led to the bureau’s establishment, including the murder of crime reporter Veronica Guerin. Not to be missed.
