* Liverpool lose at home to Marseille. 1-0.
* Celtic beat Milan 2-1 with a late goal in swimming pool conditions. However their night is marred by an 'attack' by a fan on Milan's goalie Dida who appeared to fall down in spectacular fashion.
The Times:
There is a precedent for such an episode in Glasgow. In November 2006 a spectator invaded the pitch at Ibrox during a Uefa Cup match between Rangers and Maccabi Haifa and chained himself to a goalpost. On that occasion Rangers were fined £5,000 by Uefa and warned about future security at their stadium.
Last night's incident was more serious, given that contact was made between the Celtic supporter and Dida, although some observers were mindful that Dida has "previous" in terms of his behaviour in such occurrences.
In April 2005, the Brazilian slumped to the ground as missiles rained down in a Champions League quarter-final between Milan and Inter Milan at the San Siro. Uefa disqualified Inter and awarded the tie to Milan 3-0.
In the past, Uefa has chosen to eject clubs from its tournaments on the basis of crowd disorder. In 1998 Fiorentina were thrown out of the Uefa Cup after a fourth official was injured by a missile thrown by a supporter during a tie against Grasshoppers. On that occasion the Swiss club were awarded the tie.
Celtic have also been involved in a similar incident, when Uefa ordered a Cup Winners' Cup tie between the club and Rapid Vienna at Celtic Park in November 1984 to be replayed after a bottle had been thrown on to the pitch. Celtic were leading 3-0 at the time — 4-3 on aggregate — but lost the replay 1-0 at Old Trafford a week later.
* Avram Grant has reportedly asked Ajax manager Henk Ten Cate to become first-team coach. There is specualtion about Steve Clarke's role now at Rent Boy Central.
