KIERAN GILL AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: We love a transfer update in today's world of club-to-club talks and verbal agreements and sources whispering this and that, but there is nothing quite as clear as a surprise absentee on a match day. It smacks of something happening behind the scenes, and Manchester City target Enzo Fernandez was nowhere to be seen at Stamford Bridge, neither in the team nor on the bench nor in the stands supporting his team-mates in this Carabao Cup second-round victory. That was despite Xabi Alonso telling us a day previous that he intended on using him against League One visitors Luton. Chelsea did not need him. They won by two goals, with Danny Welbeck scoring and Hakeem Odoffin sending Estevao Willian's shot into his own net. They arguably should have won by six with the chances that Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers had.

LAWRENCE BOOTH AT LORD'S: The first day of the second Test was almost derailed after it emerged that the Pakistan Cricket Board were unhappy with Sky Sports' decision to broadcast an interview with the two sons of the imprisoned former Pakistan captain and prime minister Imran Khan. Cricinfo reported that the PCB briefly threatened to delay the resumption after the lunch break, during which Sky broadcast Mike Atherton's interview with Suleiman and Kasim Khan, who said they feared for their father's life following three years in jail on corruption charges. Sky delayed broadcasting the 18-minute interview, and the Pakistan team eventually took the field as planned - avoiding a repeat of the 2006 Test at The Oval, where captain Inzamam-ul-Haq detained his players in the dressing-room after umpire Darrell Hair accused them of ball-tampering. That Test was ultimately forfeited.

A night of abject humiliation for Derek McInnes and his Rangers team. A night of total ineptitude and failure against a team of no-marks from the Czech Republic. A night where Rangers produced 120 minutes of the most wretched football imaginable. In the end, this was a night which shortens the lifespan of managers. McInnes cannot hide from this. He should not be spared once the inquest begins. If the failure to overcome Jagiellonia Bialystok in the Europa League qualifiers was bad enough, this was on a whole different level.
