Roma climbed to second in the Serie A standings tonight thanks to a 3-0 win over luckless Cagliari.

Celtic and Scotland were kept waiting last night after a meeting between Italian Football League representatives and state police officials ended without any announcement on whether stadiums in the country would be reopened.

CELTIC could face a trip to Switzerland next month after the Stade de Geneve was proposed as an alternative venue for their Champions League ‘away’ clash with AC Milan.

Italy’s players and club officials have reacted with dismay to the decision to declare all bar six venues closed to supporters on security grounds.
