It really should be. Manchester city are in switzerland looking to make it three wins out of three in their group. They should do that against young boys in bern, but city have changed their usual routine. They usually have their final Training Session in manchester before playing away in europe, but the Wankdorf Stadium has a synthetic pitch so they travelled early and trained there last night.

To glasgow now, where celtic are at home to the Group Leaders Atletico Madrid. The scottish champions lost their first two games to feyenoord and lazio, so really need to pick up some points to have a realistic chance of qualifying for the knockout stage. Bbc scotlands sports news correspondent Chris Mclaughlin is at celtic park. Chris, its not must win, but it probably feels that way. I think thats fair. It does feel that way. As you mentioned it, those defeats to feyenoord and lazio certainly not what celtic and miniature Brendan Rodgers were hoping for and perhaps not even expecting. Brendan rodgers when he came back to celtic, remember, saying that progression in European Football was one of the main reasons for making his return to celtic. They have been dogged by injuries in the early stages of the Champions League. A few players are now back so they will feel boosted by that. I recall asking rogers at the start of this campaign what would be success for celtic and he said progression in europe after christmas. So clearly that is one eye on the Europa League but if celtic or even to finish third, this is the kind of game, home here at celtic park in front of 60,000, they must be looking to take some kind of points from. Not easy with atletico going very well but we know what this Celtic Park Crowd can do on nights like this as well. We saw celtic fans displaying palestinian flags at hearts over the weekend. Uefa take a pretty dim view of supporters displaying any political banners. What are we expecting this evening . Yes, i think is it to say we are coming to be honest. The celtic fans just hours after that hamas attack on israel, fans displaying a palestinian banner which the club distanced themselves from many supporters distanced himself from. But there is a section of celtic supporters known as the green beret using the skin to try to get other factors take palestinian flags into celtic park tonight to support palestine. Youre right, you have and will not like politics and politics and sports to mix it up they will watch closely. Celtic have been fighting the past four flying palestinian flags and you if it will watch closely again this evening. Chris, thank you very much. The other two sides in celtics group, feyenoord and lazio, are one of the early kick offs. Its halftime in rotterdam. And feyenoord lead thanks to a goal from their Striker Santiago Gimenez whod earlier had another one ruled out for offside. Feyenoord are looking for their second win in the group. There have been first half goals for barcelona in the other early kick off. Theyre facing the ukrainian champions shakhtar. Ferran toure put the home side ahead. Barca have just added another through fermin lopez. 2 0 they lead. More tributes have been paid to bill kenwright. The club announced yesterday that their chairman had died at the age of 78 after a long battle with cancer. Today, the manager sean dyche and Club Captain Seamus Coleman laid Flowers Outside Goodison Park at the dixie dean statue. Kenwright, who used to own the club, had been chairman for 19 years. Dyche, who was appointed by kenwright earlier this year, described him as an amazing servant to the club. We also heard from the liverpool manager today. Obviously a massive heart for the city and obviously a massive heart for the city and a obviously a massive heart for the city and a massive heart for everton city and a massive heart for everton.

My condolences to the family and hope they are ok. To the rugby world cup. England have made eight changes for their third fourth playoff game against argentina on friday night. Tom curry has kept his place. He claims to have been racially abused by south Africa Hooker Bongi Bonambi during their Semifinal Defeat to south africa last weekend. World rugby say they are still investigating the incident. Curry has been targeted with online abuse since he made the complaint. What is not understandable is the issues we have got. They affect that has notjust on him as well is the bit that i and we dont think really understand. And i know it seems to be going more and more like this, but it should not be. It should not be. We will wait to see what comes of that World Rugby Investigation into the alleged abuse. Back to fridays match, it will be the last for england for ben youngs. Their most capped mens player has announced his international retirement. The test against argentina will be his 127th for his country. He made his debut 2010 when current coach Steve Borthwick was captain. The leicester scrum half says he had always planned to call it a day after the world cup. I feel incredibly proud to have done it for this i feel incredibly proud to have done it for this long. I think its taken a huge it for this long. I think its taken a huge amount of effort to do it for 13 years. A huge amount of effort to do it for 13 years, and itsjust a huge amount of effort to do it for 13 years, and its just fitting. A huge amount of effort to do it for 13 years, and itsjust fitting. It feels 13 years, and itsjust fitting. It feels right. I feel so privileged to be able feels right.

So well look forward to playing that. So well look forward to playing club rugby and look forward to supporting the sting from a distance to supporting the sting from a distance but its been a great ride. Wales full back Leigh Halfpenny has also announced his retirement from International Rugby. Hell turn out for the final time against the barbarians on the ltth of november. At the age of 3a, halfpenny has 101 caps, and his 801 points is third in the all time list for wales behind neiljenkins and stephen jones. He also toured three times with the british and irish lions. Halfpenny said hed made the decision with a heavy heart and it had been a huge honour and privilege to put on the welsh jersey for the past 15 years. Hell continue to play domestically, but is without a club at the moment. It does feel as if there is a Changing Of The Guard in welsh rugby, and there are concerns about where the next generation of players will come from. One coach has warned the number of talented Young Players choosing to leave wales to develop their careers in england has gone from a trickle to a flood. And a new bbc wales survey suggests a dramatic drop in the number of schools playing rugby at youth level compared to 20 years ago. Wyre davies reports. They reached the world cup quarterfinals, and for much of the last two decades, the welsh mens Rugby Union Team has been at the top. But has that success been papering over cracks in the game . One, two, three, squeeze come on. Rugby in wales is at the heart of almost every community, but here, the game is struggling. More than 400 matches, or 13 of games, at this level in wales were cancelled last year, mainly because clubs didnt have enough players. Its perhaps most notable in youth rugby. Bit of bad news. Whats that . The games been cancelled. If we dont do something now, i dread to think what the grassroots game is going to look like in wales in ten years time. And, you know, every player. On the field that plays for wales has come through a grassroots club. And it looks like schools in wales are playing much less rugby as well. 143 schools across wales responded to a bbc survey about participation in 16 18 Year Old rugby. Two thirds say theyve run at least one senior sixth form team in the past. But of those, just under half told us theyve stopped in the last 20 years. Added to that, theres whats on offer across the border. State run Hartpury College in gloucestershire play in the elite English College system. Of the 15 starting players for hartpury, ten of them are from wales. Ithought, coming here, i was going to pick up an english accent, but i ended up having more of a welsh one when i went home. Made my decision, ijust wanted to come here and play that good rugby and get the academics. This is where the flying welsh winger Louis Rees Zammit gained his spurs. Hartpury has facilities, top class sport and academic standards that few places in wales can compete with. The welsh rugby union, which oversees all aspects of the game, disputes some of our figures about participation and pushes back at suggestions all it cares about is the money making National Team. The more successful the National Team are, the more likely we are to fill out this venue. And thats what generatesl the majority of the revenue that supports all of the other programmes. I so if we can create the successfull National Team, everybody benefits. But the fear is of falling numbers at critical ages and financially stretched clubs unable to compete. In a country where rugby is almost a religion, is wales in danger of being left behind . Wyre davies, bbc news. Englands women face canada in their second game of the new wxv competition on friday, but next year, they could be playing in a potentially record breaking match against new zealand at twickenham. The rfu are in talks with the black ferns about arranging a rematch of the last world cup final, which could attract a bigger crowd than the 58,500 who watched the six nations decider between england and france in april. We area we are a squad that wants to keep breaking world records, and what better place to do it than twickenham against new zealand. I think another stand alone game, obviously the island one in the six nations, but to have new zealand there would be a game that we would want to be involved in. Lets have a quick look at some of other headlines today. The route revealed today starts in rotterdam and ends in nice rather than paris due to the olympics. Britains Mark Cavendish will have eight opportunities at next years Tour De France to break the Stage Victories record he shares with belgium legend eddie merckx. Cavendish said hes shocked at how hard this Tour De France is. 17 year old stan moody is into the last 16 of the Northern Ireland open. He beat gary wilson by four frames to two in belfast in what is his debut season as a professional on the tour. Deontay wilder says it would be a disaster if he doesnt fight anthonyjoshua. The heavyweights are in talks for a bout next year, with the american saying he is ready to take the fight. Englands cricketers are in bangalore for tomorrows world cup match against sri lanka. Now, youd have thought this really is must win having lost three of their four matches so far in india. Jos buttler� s side have bean heavily beaten by new zealand, afghanistan and south africa. They look a shadow of the side that won the trophy four years ago and qualifying for the semifinals looks like a tall order, but they still have hope. In competition yet to move on as quickly as you can. And regroup. Yeah, everything is a must win and we know, we have been in this position before, probably not of this degree, but we know everything is a must win and we have to get our confidence and perform well. And back and bow and feel better than we have done so far in this tournament. After sri lanka, england will play australia, and they had a record breaking victory over the netherlands in delhi. Glenn maxwell hit the fastest century in the tournaments history, and it was the the biggest world cup win by margin of runs, 309. Joe lynskey reports. He came out to bat with just 11 overs left. What came next was joy and chaos. Glenn maxwell to a game for the night sky and broke a world cup record. A century against the netherlands scored in a0 balls of breathless cricket. Filth. Netherlands scored in 40 balls of breathless cricket. Breathless cricket. Oh, thats ridiculous breathless cricket. Oh, thats ridiculous that breathless cricket. Oh, thats ridiculous that extraordinary breathless cricket. Oh, thats ridiculous that extraordinary shock not ridiculous that extraordinary shock got maxwell ridiculous that extraordinary shock got maxwell to ridiculous that extraordinary shock got maxwell to 50. Ridiculous that extraordinary shock got maxwell to 50. 14 ridiculous that extraordinary shock got maxwell to 50. 14 balls ridiculous that extraordinary shock got maxwell to 50. 14 balls later,. Got maxwell to 50. 1a balls later, he doubled his score. For the netherlands, it felt cruel. There world cups been a sign of crickets growth Around The World but now all against them. The 100th came with nine fours and eight sixes. A fitting tribute for his newborn son, logan maverick maxwell. Australia had made 399. It would be too much for the dutch. They were bowled out for the dutch. They were bowled out for 90, more than 300 runs short. It made this the world cups largest winning margin. A day of record for australia and Glenn Maxwells greatest hits. The Super League Champions Wigan Warriors are among seven clubs awarded an initial grade a status as part of a radical restructure of the competition. Leeds, st helens, catalans, warrington and the two hull clubs have also been given a provisional top grading. The news comes as england prepare for the second test against tonga. They can win the series, but will have to do so without superstar winger dom young, as jane dougall reports. Arguably dom young was the poster boy for this series. He is suffering from a Brain Infection after having a Sinus Infection and then having to have an abscess drained. He is still in hospital. However, england managersays in hospital.

With a new Club Grading System coming into existence in 2025. Today, clubs learned of their provisional grading based on five pillars, on field performance, fandom, finances, stadium and community. It also means those awarded great i will be fully protected from relegation from the super league. Already there has been some controversy with castle for tigers appealing against their provisional score, tigers appealing against their provisionalscore, but tigers appealing against their provisional score, but shawn when he says although some fans may not be happy with this new process, it is required if the sports to progress.

We did have some sunshine today through the midlands and wales in particular. The earlier heavy rain across southern parts of england cleared away, but it was rather cloudy in scotland and that cloud likely to linger into this evening and overnight. Same, too, across parts of the North East Of England with some showery outbreaks of rain, a brisk east wind. At the same time, a Weather Front moving in towards Northern Ireland bringing some heavier outbreaks of rain, also in towards wales, the south west of england. And as we approach midnight and the early hours of thursday morning, that wet weather pushing in towards the midlands, the north west of england and in towards the far south east. Temperatures here overnight, a rather chilly four degrees in norwich. Not as cold in scotland compared with last night, and mild in the south west at around 11 celsius. Into thursday, a low pressure situated to our west once again bringing Weather Fronts, showery outbreaks of rain and some brisk winds around the South West Coast and the north and north east coast of scotland. Through the day, weve got the overnight rain continuing to track its way northwards towards the North East Of England and further showery outbreaks of rain through scotland as well. Some of this wet weather could well become fairly stagnant across eastern areas through the end of the week. Elsewhere on thursday, weve got some sunshine, but also a number of sharp showers and temperatures around 11 15 celsius. On friday once again, low pressure situated to the west, sending Weather Fronts, showery outbreaks of rain our way. There will be some brighter skies in the mix at times, too. You can see, though, certainly across parts of scotland, outbreaks of rain consistently pushing in from the north sea on those brisk east, south east winds. Elsewhere for much of england and wales, its a bright friday, plenty of sunshine around, but also a number of heavy showers. Same, too, in towards parts of the Northern Ireland. Temperatures similar. And then into the weekend, that area of low pressure still with us, so further Weather Fronts and outbreaks of rain. And at the same time, were starting to see a bit of a north wind developing, bringing some cooler conditions to the far north of scotland. At the same time, in between, weve got this area of rain, which could cause a few issues through parts of eastern scotland. Elsewhere on saturday, weve got outbreaks of rain and some sunshine through the midlands, east anglia and the North East Of England. So a rather unsettled outlook, and it stays that way through the tail end of the weekend and into the start of next week, too, with some sunshine but also showers or longer spells of rain at times.
