FROM CUMBRIA TO COLOMBIA - AROUND THE WORLD IN FOUR CLUBS
It's not been a great first season back in the football league for BARROW AFC. Ian Evatt who had taken The Bluebirds to the Vanarama National League title in 2019/20 left in July to join Bolton Wanderers and was replaced by former Blackburn Rover's player and Oldham Athletic boss David Dunn. He lasted until December winning 2 games in 22 played and was replaced by Michael Jolley who was last in charge of Grimsby Town in 2019 - He lasted only 7 games where the team won just one game. Former Leicester City boss Rob Kelly is now in temporary charge starting with their game at Oldham Athletic tonight - He took charge of three games in December of which he won two. The club have lost their last four league games - Following their trip to Boundary Park tonight they travel to Bolton Wanderers on Saturday. They are currently second bottom in SkyBet League Two but do have games in hand over the teams above them.
Boca Juniors next league game is away to Tigres (9th) on Sunday. They are currently in 10th place of 16 teams.

AFTER 33 MATCHES THE LEAGUE SPLITS INTO TWO SECTIONS (TOP SIX AND BOTTOM SIX) WITH THE TEAMS PLAYING EACH OTHER ONCE.
Rangers are very close to being confirmed title winners - If they win their next two games against Livingston and St Mirren it will put them on 88 points going into the game at Celtic on Sunday 21st March. If Celtic win their two games against Aberdeen and Dundee United it will put them on 70 points being able to get to a maximum of 88 points therefore there is a chance Rangers could officially win the title at Celtic Park.
With an eight point gap between Abderdeen in fourth and Livingston in fifth it now looks like The Dons and Hibs will finish in the Europa Conference League places.
At the bottom of the table Ross County's amazing 1-0 win at home to Celtic has given their survival hopes a real boost.
