brendan rodgers claimed his celtic side lacked pride in defending, after they conceeded a poor goal tot leg of their europa league play—off against suduva in lithuania. the game was just three minutes old when olivier ntcham nodded them in front against the lithuanian champions, but their frailties at the back were exposed ten minutes later. still lots of work to do in the second leg. rivals rangers were 1—0 winners over ufa. i feel for supporters to me. ifeel for supporters to me. they have come all the way out here about 200 of them all the way out probably trains, buses the whole thing. and it's a disappointing performance from them. they see a goal, but we had to be much better than that. elsewhere, burnley will need a big comeback in their second leg. after they were beaten 3—1 by olympiakos in athens. after going a goal down, chris wood did level things up with that first half penalty. andreas bouk—a—lakis put the hosts ahead after the break and things went from bad to worse for burnley when ben gibson was sent off on a second yellow for handball and olympiakos got their third go

brendan rodgers‘ side led 3—1 from the first leg and despite the norwegian champions having the betterdn‘t score, so celtic go through to face aek athens in the next round. the football association is considering a bid to host the world cup in 2030. the last major tournament played in england was euro 96, which came 30 years after the country hosted it‘s only world cup, in 1966 of course. and after the success of this summer‘s world cup, the fa have announced that they want gareth southgate to stay on as england manager beyond 2020, when his contract expires. england made the semi—finals in russia, and fa chief executive martin glenn said he was "the definition of the modern manager we want". he certainly looked modern in that waistcoat. india are in control after the opening day of the first test against england at edgbaston. at stumps, the hosts were 285—9, having looked in total control on 216—3. but that‘s when things started to go wrong for england. patrick gearey now reports on that, and takes a look back in the test cricket archives, too. an english drama in a thousand parts. fr

brendan rodgers was critical of his players following that h with suduva in lithuania last week.t with the board here over transfer targets. celtic have missed out already on champions league qualifying, so he knows the importance of making it through to the rugby league group stages. it's a competition we can use our experience of over the last couple of years to do well in. i'm disappointed we went out of its last year, especially after playing so well at home. not so well away, but like i say, it provides an opportunity to play against good teams but also to show we are developing. rangers are ready through to tomorrow's draw, a 1—1 scoreline with urie in russia earlier was enough, 2—1 on aggregate by steven gerrard's side. they played a portion of that game with only nine men. burnley host 0lympiacos tonight, and richard is a turf moor. bali have it all to do tonight, 0lympiacos a club more used to the champions league than the europa league. they hold that 3—1 advantage from the first leg. but that goal burnley scored in athens could be crucial, they will believe they can ge
