Rangers Vs Napoli Moved To Wednesday With UEFA Matches Set To Go Ahead

Rangers' Champions’ League group stage game at home to Napoli has been pushed back 24 hours to Wednesday following discussions between Police Scotland, the Glasgow club and UEFA.

European football's governing body have announced that the tie at Ibrox Stadium, originally to be played on Tuesday, has been rescheduled for Wednesday, September 14 at 8pm.

A UEFA statement explained: "This is due to the severe limitations on police resources and organisational issues related to the ongoing events surrounding the national mourning for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II."

The UEFA Youth League game between both teams originally set for Tuesday has also been moved to a 2pm kick-off on Wednesday.

UEFA have also announced that no away fans will be present at Ibrox this week and, as a matter of sporting fairness, Rangers' supporters will not be authorised for the return leg in Naples on October 26.

Fans have been strongly advised to avoid making travel Rangers started their Champions’ League Group A campaign with a 4-0 defeat at Ajax Amsterdam and Napoli thrashed Liverpool 4-1 at home.

All Premier League and English Football League matches this weekend were postponed as a mark of respect. All games in the Women's Super League, Women's Championship and Women's FA Cup were also postponed.

 

 

September 12, 2022 Teenager Alcaraz Wins US Open To Earn First Major

Teenager Alcaraz Wins US Open To Earn First Major

Spanish teenager Carlos Alcaraz fulfilled his potential as a future Grand Slam champion and world number one by beating Casper Ruud in the US Open final to achieve both feats.

Alcaraz won 6-4 2-6 7-6 (7-1) 6-3 in his first major final.

The 19-year-old is the youngest men's Grand Slam champion since Rafael Nadal won the French Open in 2005.

Ruud, 23, would have become the new world number one if he had won, but has now lost both of his two major finals.

Instead it is Alcaraz who replaces Russia's Daniil Medvedev at the top, becoming the first teenager to climb to the summit in the 49-year history of the ATP rankings.

After hitting a routine forehand long on his first championship point, Alcaraz took his second with a service winner out wide and instantly fell flat on his back in celebration in New York.

Alcaraz, who saved two set points in the third which would have put Ruud ahead, ran up to his team in the stands and danced with them in a huddle, before returning to his seat where he was crying at the same time as smiling.

September 9, 2022 West Ham Beat FCSB In Europa Conference League

West Ham Beat FCSB In Europa Conference League

West Ham came from behind to beat Romanian side FCSB in their Europa Conference League Group B opener.

The hosts dominated possession from the outset but fell behind in the 34th minute when Andrei Cordea scored at the far post.

Jarrod Bowen equalised after the break with a well-taken penalty after Maxwel Cornet had been fouled.

Emerson then struck from close range to make it 2-1 before Michail Antonio scored a late third.

West Ham could have added even more goals in a strong second-half showing, with Bowen, Pablo Fornals and Antonio all denied.

David Moyes' side have made a poor start to the Premier League season with just one win in six games but this was their third successive win in Europe after victories in qualifying.

September 9, 2022 Controversial Penalty Gives Sociedad Win At Man Utd

Controversial Penalty Gives Sociedad Win At Man Utd

Real Sociedad ended Manchester United's four-game winning run as a controversial penalty gave them a 1-0 victory at Old Trafford in the Europa League.

Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II earlier in the evening, both sets of players wore black armbands and a minute's silence was impeccably observed by all those inside the ground ahead of kick-off.

UEFA decided it was too late to postpone the fixture but Old Trafford was understandably below full capacity and a subdued atmosphere reflected the mood of the nation. Announcements were low-key, while advertising boards were black with branding toned down.

The game's only goal was scored on 59 minutes in controversial circumstances. Lisandro Martinez, introduced as a half-time substitute, was deemed to have handled the ball in the box as he blocked a close-range David Silva shot, despite the former Manchester City midfielder's effort deflecting off the Argentine's thigh first.

Italian referee Marco Di Bello immediately awarded a penalty and after being checked by VAR, his decision stood. Brais Mendez stepped up to give Sociedad the lead, his powerful and precise spot-kick too good for David de Gea.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was back in the United starting line-up for the first time since August 13, earlier thought he had put his side ahead, but his powerful header from a Diogo Dalot cross in the 36th minute was correctly ruled out for offside.

The 37-year-old saw two more efforts miss the target after the break before Sociedad went in front. Casemiro - making his full United debut - then had a shot from distance well saved by Alex Remiro as the hosts went in search of a late equaliser.

It didn't arrive though and Erik ten Hag, who made six changes to his team following Sunday's victory over Arsenal, loses his opening European fixture as United manager.
