A fairly poor Europa League campaign for British sides continues tonight with an improving Liverpool securing a 1-0 win away at Rubin Kazan. They're now in a decent position to qualify but still sit 2 points behind group leaders Sion. European performances in recent seasons don't give a great deal of cause for confidence and they could yet blow it.
With just 4 points from 3 games Spurs have yet to play Anderlecht tonight, but would go top with a win. Like Liverpool they might make it through the groups but don't look anything like a sure bet.
Celtic have lost again to Norwegian league strugglers Molde, this time a 2-1 defeat at home. Last time they blamed defeat on the weather in Norway so we'll see what act of God cost them this time. Rooted to the bottom of the group with only 2 points from 4 games, Celtic nevertheless stand a fair chance of qualifying as Ajax and Fenerbahce laboured to a 0-0 draw consistent with how they've both performed to date. If there was any justice in football Molde would be the only team allowed to qualify from the group given how bad the other 3 sides have been.
