Transcript

00:00Very good afternoon, Lewis Anderson here reporting for Glasgow World from rather grey and overcast

00:07Manchester ahead of Manchester United's Europa League clash with Rangers on Thursday night.

00:15We will be in attendance at Philippe Clermont's press conference at Old Trafford this evening

00:21ahead of tomorrow's eagerly anticipated Europa League showdown. Just one point separates

00:27the two teams as they look to book their place in the round of 16, United in 7th, Rangers

00:34in 8th. Heading into this mouth-watering occasion, the Battle of Britain, certainly one to savour.

00:42There's already a large presence of Rangers fans in and around the city so far today.

00:48Many more expected to travel down tomorrow in what's sure to be a very special occasion.

00:55Rangers, as I say, come into this one on the back of their Scottish Cup victory over

00:58Fraserburgh at the weekend, while United have been struggling at home. It's not so much

01:04the theatre of dreams, Old Trafford, at this moment in time, given that United have lost

01:09four of their last five home games. So, plenty to play for tomorrow night, as I say, Philippe

01:13Clermont's side still have a strong chance of progressing to the round of 16. They're

01:19almost nailed on for a play-off place as things stand. Stay tuned to Glasgow World for all

01:25the latest updates here in Manchester over the coming day.
