there i say this halloween could get a little scary for him if celtic‘s good form continues. aberdeen are the league cup finalists and they will take on hamilton accies at pittodrie. livingston are the surprise package this season, they are fourth in the table and they will hope to continue their good form against stjohnstone. st mirren and motherwell are involved in a basement battle, you could call it, because between the two of them, they have only managed two league wins all season. chelsea are looking to reach the women's champions league quarterfinal for the second time. they're in action right now against italian club fiorentina and will go through, if they avoid defeat. the london club hold a 1—0 lead from the first leg, after their win at kingsmeadow two weeks ago. kick off was at 6:30pm, so they're only a little way into it but it's currently goalless. chelsea could progress with a one—goal defeat, if they score, with the traditional away goals rule applying. let's have a quick look at some of the day's other sports news now. jose mourinho has avoided

as a career highlight. i've been pretty lucky, i think, to get what i've got, and i've been pretty lucky to have such a long career. i never thought i'd last till i was 37, when i started out. i've probably done 16 preseasons, which is probably the worst part of being a rugby player. but, no, like i said, i'm thankful for what i've achieved and thankful that i've got to this stage of my career. briton's james hall and brinn bevan finished eighth and 18th in the men's all—around final at the world gynmastics championships in doha. gold was won by russia's artur dalaloyan, whojust edged defending champion china's xiao ruoteng. it was a tense final, in which both finished with the same total — dalaloyan then taking the title after officials dropped the lowest score. earier, i spoke to britain's three—time world champion beth tweddle and started by asking about that russian gold. you couldn't have asked for a better

men's all—around today. on monday we saw the team battling it out, russia and china and then today, we saw exactly the same but totally different outcome. russia finished on top. although both of the gymnasts finished with exactly the same score but due to a tie—breaker rule, it meant russia took that title. probably a bit bittersweet. talk us through that final rotation. dalaloya n talk us through that final rotation. dalaloyan went off third or fourth in the piece, he set the bar ready for the next couple of gymnasts to go and then the chinese guy knew what he had to score going into that last routine. he needed a 14.233 and he did a fantastic routine. he landed his dismount and i think the russians have gone, do you know what, he's won it and took second and third and then his score came up, and third and then his score came u p, exa ctly and third and then his score came up, exactly the same score. it meant that he split the two russians and they took first and third. it was a

really, really exciting and u nfortu nately usa really, really exciting and unfortunately usa didn't have their best day. sam was doing so well, going into that last rotation and just lost his hand grip. that lost him his medal. let's talk about the brits. james hall finishing eighth and brinn bevan 18th, but for brinn bevan, especially, great comeback after a disappointing first few rotations. brinn bevan, couple of weeks ago, he was the reserve. he got pulled in last minute due to an injury to nile wilson. he was pleased to be back competing, he had a tough couple of years with injury. he didn't start the competition great and had another couple of errors that it's all a learning curve for him. he is still a youngster and he's got more to grow. james hall is really kind of securing his spot ten in the world and to finish eighth, it was really nice. in an interview he did, he talked about watching the british eyes when he was young and seeing

them as top ten in the world and now he is in that position —— british guys. it is becoming a strong contenderfor medals. now with a strike force that includes the world's two most expensive footballers, paris st—germain surely provoke fear in many of the teams they face. with today being halloween, their players got to feel some of that fear for themselves during spooky challenges set by their club. world cup winner kylian mbappe was having none of it though, perhaps still upset at last year's prank involving a "zombie" during a photoshoot. the world's most expensive player neymar was nowhere to be seen, perhaps he'd been scared off. but even head coach tomas tuchel got involved. we couldn't not mention halloween! that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. wetter weather for many overnight
