MUMBAI: Ten Sports, the most watched sports channel of the sub-continent, will telecast the all-important Group D UEFA Champions League match between Celtic and defending champions AC Milan.

The Matchday six games in Group D of UEFA Champions League ? Europe?s biggest and most prestigious football tournament ? have been brought forward by a week because European champions Milan jet off to the Club World Cup in Japan following the match.

Live telecast on Ten Sports will start at 12:30 am IST on early Wednesday morning.

Celtic need a point at the already-qualified Milan on Tuesday (early Wednesday morning in India) to reach the Champions League knockout stages for a second successive year and dash the hopes of Shakhtar Donetsk.

Scottish Premier League leaders Celtic, who drew 1-1 at Hearts on Saturday, will be without long-term injury victim John Kennedy, while goalkeeper Artur Boruc thinks he can face Milan despite a knee problem.

However, Celtic will be buoyed by the fact that Milan are yet to win a single match this season at San Siro, and are currently in a free fall in Serie A, where they have plummeted down to the ninth place in the table.

Shakhtar, three points behind Celtic, must beat eliminated Benfica at home and hope an expected Milan reserve side win against the Scottish champions.

The Ukrainians would then qualify for the last 16 for the first time because of a better head-to-head record. They beat Celtic 2-0 at home in September and lost 2-1 in Glasgow last week after Massimo Donati‘s stoppage-time winner.

The UEFA Champions League starts in September and continues till the champion club of Europe is determined in May. The tournament comprises a group stage features 32 teams in eight groups of four, followed by four knockout rounds.

MUMBAI: The term ‘Second Season‘ has always been a reason for a television show to celebrate the overwhelming audience response with a commitment to offer more entertainment leaving the fans wanting for more. With the trend of second seasons catching on across television channels in India, it is the perfect time for the talented trio to generate the suspense in your life with variety of episodes of unsolved criminal cases with the second season of ‘Private Psychic Eyes‘ on Zone Reality on Saturday, December 8, 2007 at 9 pm.

After the success of the first season, British psychic mediums Colin Fry, Tony Stockwell and TJ Higgs (pictured) return to shed light and investigate baffling criminal cases long forgotten by the authorities. Psychic Private Eyes features extra-sensory investigations of real-life crimes, because sometimes, only the dead can reveal the truth.

Using their individual gifts, the psychics take-on many high-profile UK cases, including:
- In 1981 Michelle Folan went missing. Her daughter Nicola was only two years old and never laid eyes on her mother again. For years Michelle was classed as a missing person, until in 1999 when her body was found underneath the old hospital on Holloway Road, which was being demolished to make way for new housing. The press dubbed the case The Concrete Coffin. Nicolas father is serving life imprisonment for the murder, but Nicola holds many apprehensions about what happened all those years ago and has asked the psychics to determine whether they believe a second person was involved with her mothers‘ murder.

- Tina Elliott asks Colin, Tony and TJ to look into the mystery of her brother Phillips disappearance. Although he frequently kept to himself, when Phillip didn‘t appear on Christmas day in 2000 his family knew that something was wrong and informed the police. Three years later the police contacted the family when the remains of a human foot turned up in the River Severn and DNA testing identified it as belonging to Phillip. The psychics are passionate about providing the family with answers and trying to locate the rest of his body.

- Diane Havils 21-year-old son Leon Lamastide was shot dead outside their home on Londons notorious Stone bridge estate. Leons death was just one of many gun related crimes in an area that topped the police count for the highest murder rate in Britain. Three men were seen running away from the house after Leon was shot, and one of his friends took the mobile phone he had been talking on, only to return it several hours later. Had Leon got himself into bad company, or was he just another innocent victim of controversial inner city gun culture? Colin, Tony and TJ investigate.

Zoom in to Zone Reality to watch the second season of "Private Psychic Eyes" and experience the real entertainment on 8 December, 2007 at 9pm.
