LIVE:

RESULTS:

That's all from us tonight. Thanks for tuning in!

FULL TIME!

It's all over at Celtic Park too as the hosts are comfortably beaten by Roma. Wilfried Nancy has now lost both of his opening two games in the dugout

FULL TIME!

Villa survive the late scare to record eight straight victories. What a season they're having!

CHANCE!

They might not pull it off just yet as Salah heads towards goal with an effort which takes a deflection off Rogers for a corner which comes to nothing. A nervy few minutes left for the visitors

We're into four minutes of added time in Basel. Can Villa hold on to make it eight wins from eight?

GOAL DISALLOWED!

It threatened to become a night to forget for Celtic as Bailey adds a fourth for Roma with a superb strike inside the box after the visitors toyed with the Scottish champions before VAR intervenes again and denies his effort for offside.

GOAL DISALLOWED!

Just when Celtic thought they were about to get back into this game, they're denied by VAR. A recycled corner sees a slick move rounded off by Iheanacho but the goal is scrutinised and overturned for offside.

CHANCE!

Basel starting to strike back as Sancho's misplaced pass allows Traoré to fire a shot which is blocked before Metinho's follow-up from distance is blazed over

CHANCE!

Villa looking to build their advantage as Guessand fires just wide of the target after the referee played advantage for a foul on Buendía

GOAL! VILLA RETAKE THE LEAD!

The second half starts the same as the first in Basel as Tielemans drills a strike from the edge of the box

KICK OFF!

And we're off and running in Glasgow too

SECOND HALF!

We're back underway at St. Jakob-Park

HALF TIME!

The whistle goes at Parkhead and it's been a rough half for Celtic, especially after Engels' penalty miss denied them a potential way back into this clash

PENALTY MISSED!

Engels steps up from the spot but his effort hits the post!

PENALTY!

Wilfried Nancy's side could have a lifeline back into this one as Engels in fouled in the area and there's only one place the referee is pointing

HALF TIME!

It's all square in Switzerland as Villa started the stronger but found themselves on the back foot

GOAL! ROMA PULL CLEAR!

It's going from bad to worse for Celtic as Ferguson doubles his tally with a superbly controlled strike in the box

CHANCE!

Bizot breathes a sigh of relief after Shaqiri threads Traoré in for an effort that he drags wide of the goalkeeper's lefthand post. The flag goes up immediately for offside but it shows Villa are living dangerously whenever their hosts counter

GOAL! ROMA AT THE DOUBLE!

Meanwhile over at Celtic Park, the Giallorossi extend their advantage as Ferguson punishes them again by meeting Çelik's cutback from the right

GOAL! BASEL LEVEL AGAIN!

It's unlikely that one will be chalked off! Shaqiri send in a really good free kick which Bizot attempts to meet but is exposed as it allows Daniliuc to notch the leveller

GOAL OVERTURNED!

A huge sigh of relief for the Villans as Leroy's strike is disallowed by VAR for an offside in the build-up

GOAL! BASEL EQUALISE!

Villa are guilty of failing to be alert as Bizot parries an Otele effort before Leroy is able to pounce and level for the hosts

CHANCE!

Roma go close to a second as Ferguson drills one from outside the area and sees it come back off the righthand post

CHANCE!

That's the first opening for the hosts as Otele hooks a low effort towards Bizot's righthand post. It looked to be going wide but the Villa stopper still covered all angles

GOAL! VILLA ARE AHEAD!

Basel fail to clear their lines at a corner which allows Guessand to fire a shot on the turn and put Unai Emery's men ahead.

CHANCE!

Schmidt meets Traoré's cross from the right with a first-time volley but it's not troubling Bizot

GOAL! ROMA LEAD AT PARKHEAD!

It's the visitors who draw first blood in Glasgow as Mancini's header from a corner is turned into the net by a Scales own goal

KICK OFF!

And away we go!

We're about to get underway in our next two games: Aston Villa away to Basel and Celtic taking on Roma

FULL TIME!

It's the story of the season for Rangers as they crash out of the Europa League after defeat in Budapest.

FULL TIME!

It's a famous victory for Forest as they claim a first European victory away from home in 30 years. What a moment for Sean Dyche's men!

GOAL! FOREST BACK IN FRONT!

Talk about an impact sub! Igor Jesus comes on and delivers a near-certain winner for the visitors as he pounces on the rebound after Ndoye's header from a Hudson-Odoi cross was parried.

GOAL! RANGERS TRAIL!

Ferencváros have the lead as Varga puts them ahead with a free header after O'Dowda is able to stretch Tavernier and fire in the cross. Is that the goal that sends the Gers officially out of the Europa League?

GOAL! UTRECHT LEVEL!

The hosts are level in the Netherlands as Van der Hoorn meets a free kick to the far lefthand side of the box and beats Sels at his near post.

CHANCE!

Rangers are threatening again as Tavernier sends a cross in for Fernandez but his header is wide of the mark

CHANCE!

Forest are pushing for a second as Kalimuendo meets a corner at the far post but it hits the side netting

Making a name for himself in the competition.

For UK readers, here's the Forest opener.

GOAL! FOREST TAKE THE LEAD!

Dream start to the second half for Dyche's side as Arnaud Kalimuendo makes it back-to-back Europa League games he's scored in.

A long ball finds its way to Callum Hudson-Odoi who squares it to the French striker.

There's a bit of luck as he bundles his way through defenders but there's none about his finish. Quality.

Ferencváros and Rangers get back to it in Budapest.

Will the hosts build on their equaliser?

Sean Dyche made two changes at the break, swapping his midfield out.

Off come James McAtee and Douglas Luiz and on come Ibrahim Sangaré and Elliott Anderson.

Can the England man turn the game in Forest's favour?

BACK UNDERWAY!

Utrecht and Forest have kicked off the second half.

HALF TIME!

Big blow for Röhl and a big boost for Keane, but it's all to play for in both of our early games.

GOAL! FERENCVÁROS LEVEL!

With the near-final kick off the half, the hosts are level and it's a brilliant team goal.

Bence Ötvös slides the ball into the bottom corner past Butland after Yusuf plays a lovely one-two and squares the ball to the midfielder.

They cut Rangers apart.

HALF TIME!

Forest go into the break in Utrecht goalless, while there's a few minutes of added time left in Budapest.

Rangers defender Nasser Djiga is down receiving treatment in his own box.

It's been a very stop-start game since the opening goal, which will completely suit the Scottish giants.

Yusuf is causing Rangers all sorts of problems but is yet to truly test Jack Butland.

If the Gers can take their lead into the break, they've a real chance of a huge win here.

Forest were on top in the opening 20 minutes but failed to score.

As is often the case, they are now on the back foot.

Might they rue not taking an early lead?

The goal was ruled out at first for offside but a VAR check shows Miovski is behind the last defender.

GOAL! RANGERS TAKE THE LEAD!

With the very first shot on target in the game, Rangers take the lead through Bojan Miovski.

It's a brilliant acrobatic close-range finish from the North Macedonian striker after the ball bounces his way in the box.

Big goal in Budapest.

Luiz is next up for Forest, curling a shot from outside the box that Vasilis Barkas does well to turn away.

It feels only a matter of time before Forest break the deadlock.

Rangers have stepped up since that early slack piece of defending and are playing some decent stuff here.

Max Aarons and Danilo combine but there's no one in the box to get on the end of the Brazilian's cross.

Morato's the next to go close, seeing his header from Douglas Luiz's cross deflected over the bar.

Good block from the Utrecht man on the line.

Forest should be one up but Oleksandr Zinchenko puts his shot wide from inside the box.

His reaction says it all. Big chance.

CHANCE!

Inside two minutes and Rangers defence is cut open.

Luckily for Danny Röhl's side, Bamidele Yusuf drags his shot wide of the post.

KICK OFF!

And we're off in Utrecht and Budapest.

Both Utrecht and Rangers need results to keep alive their hopes of a playoff spot while Ferencváros could consolidate their top eight place with a win. Sean Dyche's Forest could be in the automatic spots with a victory of their own.

Big night with these the final European games of 2025.

But first up is Nottingham Forest's trip to Utrecht and Robbie Keane's Ferencváros facing Rangers.

High-flying Aston Villa take on Basel later, while there is also a real glamour clash between Celtic and Roma in what is Wilfried Nancy's first European game with the Bhoys.

Hello and welcome to our coverage of tonight's Europa League action.
