Hearts fans are still buzzing after one of the great European nights for Scottish football. The Edinburgh club beat Rapid Vienna on penalties in Austria to reach the Conference League, capping a four-four aggregate thriller. The manager deserves enormous credit, and the supporters are already dusting off their passports for Friday's draw.
Shifting to the Premier League transfer window, and there's a significant domino effect unfolding at Aston Villa. Nicolas Jackson is closing in on a move from Chelsea to Villa Park, and the moment that deal is done, Ollie Watkins heads the other direction, toward Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal. The fee sits at around fifty one million pounds for the thirty-year-old, who leaves as Villa's record Premier League scorer with one hundred and eight top-flight goals. A remarkable chapter closing.
And in the NFL, Liam Delap has signed for Nottingham Forest in a deal worth fifty million pounds, giving the young striker a genuine chance to rebuild after things went sideways at Chelsea. BBC Sport is examining exactly what went wrong at Stamford Bridge, but Forest are betting big that a fresh environment unlocks his considerable potential.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
