Tonight’s Telly
Pick of night: Rescue 117, RTE One, 8.30pm.
New series. Documentary highlighting the work of the Irish Coast Guard’s helicopter Search and Rescue service, capturing life-and-death situations as they unfold. Filmed over six months, the programme follow the teams at Waterford Helicopter base as they battle to save lives in hostile environments.
Sporting highlight: UEFA Champions League, TV3 from 7.30pm and Sky Sports 2 from 7.00pm.
Manchester United v Rangers (kick-off 7.45pm). All the action from the matchday one Group C fixture at Old Trafford, where the three-time European champions entertain the Scottish title-holders. The only previous competitive meeting between the sides came at this stage of the 2003/04 Champions League campaign, when the Red Devils won 1-0 at Ibrox and 3-0 here. The Gers are likely to have their work cut out once more, as they failed to progress from their group last term, while the elimination of Alex Ferguson’s men by Bayern Munich at the quarter-final stage represented their least successful showing in this competition since failing to reach the knockout rounds in 2005/06 season.
