in the second half at ibrox. rangers had trailed 2—1 at half—time. they're second in the table, six points behind celtic having played a game more. arsenal forward vivianne miedema was carried off on a stretcher as the gunners lost 1—0 at home to holders lyon in the women's champions league. the gunners dominated possession in the first half but went 1—0 down to a frida maanum own goal. just before half—time miedema appeared to twist a knee and after a few minutes of treatment she was carried off the pitch. the narrow defeat was enough to ensure arsenal qualify for the quarterfinals. szymon marciniak will referee the world cup final on sunday, the 41—year—old pole, has already taken charge of both teams, france's win over denmark in the group stage and argentina's victory over australia in the last 16. france manager didier deschamps has a day less to prepare for the world cup final than their opponents argentina and it seems he'll spend a lot of that time finding a way to stop lionel messi. france made their second final

in a row which will offer them a chance to become the first back to back world champions since brazil 60 years ago, thanks to their 2—0 win over morocco in qatar and now deschamps has the prospect of trying to prevent messi, a player he says is in scintillating form, cementing his legacy and adding weight to the argument the forward is the best of all time. bbc pundit danny murphy says there are other players on both sides who are also worth paying attention to. alvarez has really come to the fore. he has shown us some magical moments and obviously i think his work ethic is incredible, he is scoring goals as well. and we saw in the england game that we kept mbappe quiet and they still beat us. giroud deserves great credit for it. his professionalism and his quality to be coming in at that last minute where he thought he wasn't going to be playing and do what he has done... but dembele as well is a wonderful talent who can really cause you problems and griezmann, i have to say, his tournament has

been nothing short of phenomenal. a key legal opinion has backed uefa and fifa's right to block competitions like the european super league saying their decision to do so last year was compatible with eu law. three clubs — barcelona, real madrid and juventus claimed the two governing bodies were abusing their power to stop and then sanction those clubs involved in the super league, which included the premier league's so—called big six. but the opinion from the european court ofjustice is a blow to their attempts to resurrect the competition. the super league collapsed, but the court case continued. the court case was heard, effectively, during the summer, in front of a grand chamber of isjudges from the european court ofjustice, but also involved was the advocate general and today the advocate general has put forward his proposals, which are non—binding, it must be stressed, the judges don't have

to take that into account. but almost always, they use what has been said today as a template to go forward and reach their own conclusions, which will be published in the spring. tennis legend boris becker has been freed from a uk prison after serving just eight months of a two and a half year sentence and it's understood he's been deported. the three—time wimbledon champion was jailed for hiding £2.5 million of assets and loans to avoid paying his debts. becker was declared bankrupt in 2017 — owing creditors almost £50 million. the 55—year—old german has lived in the uk for ten years having retired from playing in 1999. ronnie o'sullivan has been knocked out of the english open after losing to englsih compoatriot martin gould. the world champion was beaten four frames to one and had been one of the tournament favourites following two early wins in brentwood — but gould held on to record his best win of the season. england all—rounder freya kemp

will miss the women's t20 world cup in feburary because of a stress fracture of the back. the 17—year—old was ruled out england's tour of the west indies on saturday before then returning home to have further scans. there's been no return date set for kemp who's the latest england player to have the injury this year after tash farrant, saqib mahmood, olly stone and jofra archer. there was a bizzare dismissal in australia's big bash today... or at least what appeared to be a dismissal. melbourne renegades batter nic maddison had to be called back to the crease after starting to walk off once he saw his stumps light up behind him with a bail on the ground. but on second look... the ball. or his foot. didn't appear to hit the wicket at all. he then came back onto the field to top score with 87 and help the renegades win by 22 runs. they're calling it a �*ghost wicket�*. and that's all the sport for now.

hello. an end to this cold spell is on the horizon, but not just yet. friday morning once again getting off to a very cold start with a widespread frost and more snow in the forecast for some, particularly, in scotland with this weather system working in from the west. some rain and sleet around the coasts and at low levels at times, but snow over the hills. and some of that snow will come down to low levels at times, particularly where it turns heavier. across high ground, say in the grampians, could see 20 cm of snow. but even at lower levels, maybe through the central lowlands, we could be looking at 5—10 cm of snow with some ice as well. that could cause some real disruptions. some rain, sleet and snow showers getting into parts of northern ireland. particularly in the north. elsewhere, some spells of sunshine once any early freezing fog is cleared from the southeast corner. but it will be in another cold day. just —2 degrees there in aberdeen for the afternoon high. 6 degrees in plymouth, something a bit less cold.

into the far southwest. now, through friday night we will see this band of patchy rain, sleet and hill snow continuing to push southward, getting into northern england, parts of north wales. some wintery showers elsewhere. while it will be another frosty night, it's not going to be quite as cold as the nights we have become used to lately. and as we go through saturday, it will feeljust a little less cold. this band of rain still with some hill snow across the parts of northern england, north wales. some wintery showers elsewhere. we start to develop south or south—westerly wind and that will bring something a little less chilly. temperatures certainly should get above freezing in the vast majority of locations. maybe 9 degrees in the southwest of england. into sunday, a bigger change, this frontal system pushing in from the atlantic. that would bring some wind and some rain and some milder air. but it's not going to be a clean transition. because things have been just so cold lately that as this wet and mild weather bumps into the cold air, we are likely to see some snow, at least for a time.

some places could see quite a lot before it turns back to rain. ice will also be a concern with this wet and wintery weather falling on very cold surfaces. but by the end of the day on sunday, we'll be looking at highs into double digits for south wales and southwest england. those temperatures could rise further on monday. see what the temperatures are going to do where you are on the bbc weather app.
