It's crunch time in the Champions League today as four teams attempt to secure the last two remaining tickets into the knockout stage of Europe's top club competition.
With Spanish giants Barcelona already qualified as Group E leaders and German champions Stuttgart out of contention at the bottom of the pile, Rangers and six-time French champions Lyon are left to scrape it out at Ibrox for second place.
Rangers need only to avoid defeat against Lyon to book a place alongside their domestic league rivals Celtic in the last sixteen, but Walter Smith will hope for a repeat performance of their impressive 3-0 win over Alain Perrin's men at the Gerland stadium in October and has no intention of sending his side out to secure a draw.
Lyon's preparation for the do-or-die game was far from perfect with the team showing defensive frailties as they lost to eighth-placed Caen 1-0 in the domestic league on Saturday under the watchful eyes of Smith, who had made the trip to size up his opponents.
In contrast Rangers were allowed to postpone their Scottish Premier League fixture against Gretna on Sunday and will be fresh for the encounter.
Despite Rangers' 3-2 defeat away at Stuttgart in October, Gers boss Smith believes the nature of today's fixture will help concentrate minds against a Lyon team very capable of dashing his side's qualification hopes.
There's nothing to play for in Group F apart from pride as English champions Manchester United and Italian giants Roma have already booked their spots in the knockout stage, qualifying first and second respectively.
The two teams will face each other in the group's ultimate match in the Italian capital and officials will be looking to avoid a repeat of last season's violence when a number of United fans were taken to hospital after clashing with Italian police outside Rome's Olympic stadium.
Alex Ferguson's Red Devils go into the game on a high having used bottom-of-the-Premier-League-table Derby for target practice at the weekend, winning 4-1, while Roma slipped up in the Italian championship drawing 1-1 with lowly Livorno.
In Group G, Serie A leaders Inter have already clinched top spot leaving Turks Fenerbahce, on eight points, and Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven, on seven points, to fight for the runner-up spot.
The Turkish champions have the more favorable tie as they play host to bottom-of-the-group CSKA Moscow, while PSV welcome Inter in a bid to advance to the next phase.
Arsenal and Sevilla have both booked their tickets out of Group H and into the last 16. However, today's ties will decide who qualifies top of the group.
Sevilla, who enjoyed a comfortable 3-1 win over Murcia on Sunday in the Spanish League, are group leaders on 12 points but have to make the away trip to Slavia Prague.
Revelations of positive doping tests for nearly two dozen Chinese swimmers that went unpunished sparked an intense flurry of accusations and legal threats between the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the head of the US drug-fighting organization, who has long been one of WADA’s fiercest critics. WADA on Saturday said it was turning to legal counsel to address a statement released by US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) CEO Travis Tygart, who said WADA and anti-doping authorities in China swept positive tests “under the carpet by failing to fairly and evenly follow the global rules that apply to everyone else in the world.” The
Taiwanese judoka Yang Yung-wei on Saturday won silver in the men’s under-60kg category at the Asian Judo Championships in Hong Kong. Nicknamed the “judo heartthrob” in Taiwan, the Olympic silver-medalist missed out on his first Asian Championships gold when he lost to Japanese judoka Taiki Nakamura in the finals. Yang defeated three opponents on Saturday to reach the final after receiving a bye through the round of 32. He first topped Laotian Soukphaxay Sithisane in the round of 16 with two seoi nage (over-the-shoulder throws), then ousted Indian Vijay Kumar Yadav in the quarter-finals with his signature ude hishigi sankaku gatame (triangular armlock). He
Rafael Nadal on Wednesday said the upcoming French Open would be the moment to “give everything and die” on the court after his comeback from injury in Barcelona was curtailed by Alex de Minaur. The 22-time Grand Slam title winner, back playing this week after three months on the sidelines, battled well, but eventually crumbled 7-5, 6-1 against the world No. 11 from Australia in the second round. Nadal, 37, who missed virtually all of last season, is hoping to compete at the French Open next month where he is the record 14-time champion. The Spaniard said the clash with De Minaur was
RALLY: It was only the second time the Taiwanese has partnered with Kudermetova, and the match seemed tight until they won seven points in a row to take the last set 10-2 Taiwan’s Chan Hao-ching and Russia’s Veronika Kudermetova on Sunday won the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix women’s doubles final in Stuttgart, Germany. The pair defeated Norway’s Ulrikke Eikeri and Estonia’s Ingrid Neel 4-6, 6-3, 10-2 in a tightly contested match at the WTA 500 tournament. Chan and Kudermetova fell 4-6 in the first set after having their serve broken three times, although they played increasingly well. They fought back in the second set and managed to break their opponents’ serve in the eighth game to triumph 6-3. In the tiebreaker, Chan and Kudermetova took a 3-0 lead before their opponents clawed back two points, but
