city could become the first premier league side in history to do the domestic treble with the league everyone out of the water. it will be interesting to see how liverpool's midweek madness affects them. they claim is not in the bag. i do see both sides winning andi the bag. i do see both sides winning and i see city winning the title. enjoy the match. 60 minutes gone at ibrox in the old firm match it's still 2—0 to rangers. they went ahead in the second minute with a james tavernier free kick outside the box, and scott arfield hasjust scored their second. celtic have already been confirmed as champions, rangers will finish in second. there's commentary on bbc radio scotland. in the last hour, dundee manager jim mcintyre has left the club after their relegation from the scottish premiership. it comes a day after dundee ended a run of ten consecutive defeats with a 1—0 win away to livingston. and it's half time in the first leg of the league one play—off semi—final between doncaster and charlton — it's 2—0 to charlton, lyle taylor and joe aribo with the goals. there's text commentary

still premier league champions, manchester city.e was a fantastic achievement. we are so happy. now it's time to celebrate. but before the celebrations, before the adulation, for manchester city there was just adulation, for manchester city there wasjust tension. even adulation, for manchester city there was just tension. even the very best get nervous sometimes. this was manager pep guardiola an hour before kickoff, alone with his thoughts. loan thought of just kickoff, alone with his thoughts. loan thought ofjust one thing. victory would see his side win another premier league title, which was all in city's hands. at enfield, liverpool were waiting for any slipup. when they took the lead against wolves, the impossible seemed a little less so. that news filtering through to those on the south coast, moments before the unthinkable. it's all going wrong for manchester city. but even after football's most extraordinary week, this was one twist to many. within seconds, manchester city were level, and before the break things had turned

one more in the premier league. that is what we have to do. we are relaxed, training good, smiling a lot. the key to the date may be how well brighton play. they are safe from relegation but drew with arsenal last week and proved in the fa cup semifinal against manchester city that they can be difficult. it has become always thinking and doing what you have to do. you have to become crazy for it to happen in the last five or ten minutes but before that you need a plan and follow the plan. that is what we have done all season. the last time the premier league was decided on the final day of the season, sergio aguero snatched it for city in the last seconds. that seems under until this week. —— that seemed unrepeatable until this week. the scottish premiership was decided long ago but the third place is stillupforgrab, with a europa league place at stake and aberdeen moved into position tonight after a win over hearts. aberdeen‘s lewis ferguson scored first, before hearts equalised. but, ten minutes later, a cross from james wilson was met by gr

they go into the last day of the premier league season just about hanging onto their champions leaguee of their positive goal difference. i'll ghibli they've lost some games they shouldn't have, 13 in total. —— arguably they've lost. remarkable for a team that somehow is going to need one more victory to become the best side in europe in the champions league. lots of drama this week, but an eight goal swing between them and arsenal might be a bit too much for my heart. last night an emotional one for spurs fans. well it was such an emotional moment for spurs fans, and i wanted an idea ofjust how it felt, so i asked radio 5live presenter and proud spurs fan nihal arthanayake just what it was like when lucas moura's winner hit the net. there is myself and my 11—year—old son, we were sitting on the couch, look, jan vertonghen hits the bar, that our last chance. we are not going to get another chance. we had our moment. i am already in full spurs mode. i'm thinking, we got to the semifinal of the champions league, that's great, we have this new stadium, that's great, we are going into eur

the headlines at 11:00pm: a thrilling battle for the premier league crown. the happiest days of my life. i am so, so happy, so fulfilled, you know. this season, we played against one of the strongest opposition is the premier league has ever known, and we kept going, kept going, kept going. they continue to celebrate their back—to—back win. 11 days to go to the european elections that the conservatives admit will be difficult for them. the light aircraft that crashed onto a south wales road.

how sense about virgil van dyke deals with a little mess you know he's just been crowned the premier league player of the year he's won plaudits all season long for some phenomenal defending but it's a different kettle of fish when you come up against barcelona and a player like little messy so it's going to be interesting to see who comes out with something that is really the chance liverpool club they've had a great season but there is a chance you know they could come up and he had that there's a very good chance they can come up empty handed such as football i mean like you said if we've just seen the report that i've played some fantastic football all year but they could easily go home empty handed in the premier league they trailed manchester city by eight points and liverpool have made a habit of losing finals in the recent past clubs lost his last six finals and liverpool have a very good chance of not even making this one so be disappointing but probably unsurprising if they didn't win anything this year about barcelona. how are they looking well i think probably the biggest compli

arsenal will probably come fifth in the premier league, that seems a bit like arsene wenger. where the outstanding performances and results have come this season, they have been in the europa league for arsenal. defeating matt one. but in the league, they've had some big defeats, conceding nine goals in the last few matches. if anyone in european football understands the sip significance of the europa league it is unai emery, who made his name in this competition with three wins at sevilla. he is an expert on spanish football. he was also manager of valencia and had a decent record with them as well. what can we expect from valencia tonight, jerry? looking at the leaguer, valencia and sixth place, a bit off the pace. they do not concede many goals. they have a lot of draws. they've lost their last couple of games. some interesting and familiar names, not least francis coquelin, who for many years provided the bite on the arsenal midfield. he's back with valencia tonight. he says that arsenal is in his dna. some arsenalfans might wish they had a player like him in the team thi

after they failed to beat bottom club huddersfield on the penultimate matchday of the english premier league. ole gunnar solskjaer‘s team will have to settle for europa league football next season after they drew 1—1 at the already relegated club. the terriers had managed just four points in their previous 23 games — but they earned a draw as isaac mbenza's first goal for the club levelled scott mctominay‘s first—half effort. the result means united can't catch either chelsea or tottenham and have only a slim chance of finishing above arsenal in fifth. we haven't deserved to be top four. we've chased the pack. we've been given chances. the league is so tight. it's so — it's a good league, it's loads of good teams, and when we got the opportunities, we weren't able to really grab them. and today was just a confirmation of a long season, 'cause in the end, the table doesn't lie. arsenal's focus is now on the europa league according to their manager unai emery. the gunners hopes of a top—four premier league finish were effectively ended by a 1—all draw with brighton. arsenal are three points be
