I explain the structure of the OA here:

Second query:- that always takes immediate presiding noun which is fixtures in this case, then why "is" after that why not "are"
A that-modifier does NOT have to refer to the immediately preceding noun.
In most cases:
that + singular verb will refer to the nearest preceding singular noun.
that + plural verb will refer to the nearest preceding plural noun.
In the OA, that is bringing (that + singular verb) clearly refers to market (also singular).
