Hughes relishing his Rotterdam return

MARK HUGHES is calling on his players to rise to the challenge in Rotterdam tonight — just as he did 15 years ago.

The Blackburn manager knows his side need only a point against Feyenoord to guarantee their place in the knockout stages of the UEFA Cup.

While their form has dipped in the league, it is not the case in Europe. Blackburn are almost home and dry after victories against Wisla Krakow and Basle in the group stage.
