MARTIN SAMUEL: Luton's journey from the National League to the Championship play-offs shows clubs must be free to get it right AND wrong... the joy and the pain are what makes football compelling

Luton play what is possibly the biggest match in their history on Friday. Next Monday there is another one. And the biggest of all on May 29, if all goes well.

That is 11 days after Rangers travel to Seville for a mammoth date with Eintracht Frankfurt that could grant them instant entry to the Champions League group stage.

Two very different clubs, but with a connection. Failure. If Luton can make it through the Championship play-offs, they will complete a journey that began in the National League, falling through the fourth tier courtesy of a 30-point deduction for financial mismanagement.
