    Manchester United fans are planning to 'do a Liverpool' and protest about the price of their tickets for their Europa League game at Midtjylland on Thursday.

    Southampton supporters were charged £22 for a Europa League play-off match against the Danish champions in August - but United fans have to pay £71.

    United We Stand fanzine editor Andy Mitten said: "Do they think United fans are three times wealthier than Southampton fans?"

    A fans' banner to be unfurled at the game reads: "Welcome to Scamdinavia."

    It is always a wonderful moment when a manager or a player gets angry and flounces out of a news conference. And it's even more entertaining when it's one of the most famous players in the game.

    Take a bow Cristiano Ronaldo, who walked out, external on reporters after being questioned about his record in Real Madrid's away matches this season.

    Ronaldo has scored 32 goals this season but has not netted away from the Bernabeu since 29 November.

    "Who else has scored more goals away from home than me since I arrived in Spain?" said Ronaldo, the all-time top scorer in the Champions League. "Name one player who has scored more than me. No answer? OK. Thank you."

    Quiz question. Who said this:

    "Morning! I keep reading about elephant and rhino poaching and it makes me angry. I'm going to share some videos on that subject later today and tomorrow from my trip to Colchester Zoo, external last week..."

    No, it's not Chris Packham or David Attenborough, it is, of course, Aaron Ramsey.

    A couple of lively games in the Scottish Cup to say the least.

    Hibs beats Edinburgh rivals Hearts 1-0 in a fiesty encounter, with beaten boss Robbie Neilson labelling the referee's decision to send-off one of his players - Blazej Augustyn - as "shocking".

    Hearts also had two goals disallowed. Ouch.

    Meanwhile, Rangers scored in stoppage-time to secure a 2-1 victory at Kilmarnock - but top scorer Martyn Waghorn left on crutches after an early injury.

    So then, Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink believes his side have a "50-50" chance of reaching the Champions League quarter-finals after Paris St-Germain beat them 2-1 in the first leg of their last-16 tie.

    John Mikel Obi cancelled out Zlatan Ibrahimovic's opener for PSG, but Edinson Cavani gave the hosts victory (you can read the full match report here).

    "Scoring away is always good," said Hiddink. "I'm never happy with a loss but it's not a dramatic loss."

    The second leg will take place at Stamford Bridge on 9 March.
