Simo Valakari is "a happy man" after adding midfielders Josh Campbell and Joel Cotterill to his St Johnstone squad this week.
German forward Danny Schmidt has also been recruited and has obtained a work permit in time for Sunday's Scottish Premiership visit of Hibernian (15:00).
However, as Hibs are loan player Campbell's parent club, he will not feature at McDiarmid Park this weekend.
"I'm a happy man," Valakari told Saints TV.
"I was very happy to be able to get those two players. I was very happy with the squad and players we added. Joel and Josh were on our radar at the start of the window. Things don't always happen as fast as you wish but we were not in a rush.

Como fought back from a debut Milutin Osmajic goal to crush Genoa 4-1, including an **** ane Diao brace, Martin Baturina and Nico Paz, with Moise Kean providing an **** ist.
The Lariani were fresh from a 2-1 victory away to Napoli, plus deadline day signings Moise Kean and Robert Sanchez on the bench waiting for their debuts. Only Jayden Addai remained on the treatment table. Genoa were in crisis after losing to both Napoli and Lazio without scoring a goal, as Lorenzo Venturino, Joi Nuredini, Hamed Traore and Elias Havel were still out of action, but Djibril Sow and Milutin Osmajic got their first starts.
See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.

Kate Middleton's journey in the royal family may have been more deliberate than it first appeared. Experts believe she spent years preparing for life inside the monarchy. From her university days to her long courtship with Prince William, she had plenty of time to understand the institution before officially joining it. Now, royal commentators suggest that her patient approach may have been an important part of her eventual rise to the position of Princess of Wales.
Kate Middleton never treated her royal future as something to rush into, an expert believes. Royal author Simon Vigar claims she focused on making "steady progress" while learning how the institution worked.
Vigar, author of "The Four Wives of Windsor," told Fox News Digital that someone close to Prince William described the approach as, "We're not going to rush our fences." The idea was reportedly to learn the ropes first and take on greater responsibilities over time.
That patience became important because Middleton entered the Royal Family from a very different background, Vigar explained. Unlike Princess Diana, who was an aristocrat, and Queen Camilla, who also came from an upper-class family, Middleton was middle class. Her parents built their own business and worked to give their children opportunities, including private education.
She later attended St. Andrews University, where she met William. Their relationship developed over several years before their 2011 wedding. According to Christopher Andersen, that lengthy courtship ultimately worked in Middleton's favor.

The Philadelphia 76ers are going to need rookie Labaron Philon Jr. to step in and produce right away as the No. 22 pick in the 2026 draft. The Sixers selected Philon with the expectation that he will be the lead guard for the second unit alongside Anfernee Simons.
In order to prepare for what's to come in his maiden season, Philon has spent a majority of the offseason in the gym looking to work on his craft and get the much-needed reps he needs in the gym to show what he can do on a regular basis.
In the latest video footage of the Rico Hines Runs at UCLA, Philon continues to impress and show his skill alongside fellow Sixers teammate VJ Edgecombe.

Roberto De Zerbi has omitted Richarlison from his Premier League squad for Tottenham Hotspur's upcoming season, while injured duo Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert have both been included.
Every Premier League club is required to register a 25-man squad comprising a maximum of 17 non-homegrown players and eight homegrown players. Spurs had one more non-homegrown player than permitted, forcing De Zerbi to drop someone from the roster.
Richarlison was informed he would not feature in De Zerbi's plans for the season prior to the Premier League transfer deadline, giving him the opportunity to depart the North London club once a suitable offer was received, according to football.london.

September is upon us. For most fans, that means that training camp is almost underway and the season is right around the corner. For us Red Wings fans, this September begins with a bleak outlook. Training camp begins Sept. 17, the team is without a GM, and Dylan Larkin's future with the Red Wings is riddled with uncertainty.
The simple truth is we don't know Larkin's future. Reports that Dylan Larkin requested a trade out of Detroit came in early June this year to the shock of many fans. Larkin has five years remaining on his contract with a cap hit of $8.7 million AAV. This attractive contract increases Larkin's value, but as of now, no trade has been made. With the GM seat still empty, it is very unlikely he will be dealt before training camp.
No general manager means no decisions regarding hockey operations are being made. A Larkin trade or reconciliation is not going to happen until a new GM is chosen. Simon Edvinsson's contract will also remain in limbo until this happens. With less than three weeks until the beginning of training camp, the outlook for the Red Wings doesn't look great. But let us explore some positives and dampen the darkness.
Moritz Seider doesn't show any hints of slowing down, and his aspirations for becoming one of the league's best defensemen are without question. The big German led the team with a +15 plus/minus and 180 blocked shots last season.
"I want to establish myself as a guy that people are not happy to see on the ice," Seider said during the European Player Media Tour. "I think that's one of the biggest compliments you could get is that people are not happy to see you, in a good way."

All aboard! Pete Davidson and Colin Jost are opening the Staten Island Ferry.
The pair famously won the bid and purchased the decommissioned John F. Kennedy Staten Island Ferry at auction for $280,000 in 2022. Davidson and Jost have held several events on the ship, such as Tommy Hilfiger's 2025 New York Fashion Week show. The ferry is getting ready for one of its biggest nights ever; this fall it will host a one-night-only comedy event.
The former Saturday Night Live co-stars are working with Snapple to put on the Snapple Island Ferry. It will be hosted by Davidson and Jost, and produced by The Stand Group, which is a part owner of the ferry. The Sept. 17 event will be "a one-day-only, free comedy club built to give New Yorkers an unexpectedly refreshing break from the daily grind," according to Snapple.

Taylor Fritz is set to begin his 2026 US Open campaign against 18-year-old American Darwin Blanch. The No. 9 seed is looking forward to ending a 23-year wait for a men's Grand Slam champion, while his off-court life is also drawing plenty of attention ahead of his first-round match in Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Days before the year's final Grand Slam, the American tennis star was spotted with social media influencer Olivia Jade Giannulli in New York City on August 24, adding to the romance rumors that have surrounded the pair.
Giannulli is a 26-year-old social media influencer and YouTuber with 1.3 million followers on Instagram. She is the daughter of actress Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, and later launched her own beauty brand, o.piccola.
Speculation about the 28-year-old ATP pro and Giannulli began earlier this summer. In May, reports claimed the two were seen together at The Bird Streets Club in Los Angeles, where they reportedly appeared "cozy."
Last month, reports said Fritz brought Giannulli as his guest to the wedding of fellow American pro Tommy Paul and Dairy Boy founder Paige Lorenze. And a week ago, they were also spotted together in Manhattan, their first public appearance since May.

Kenneth Lonergan has taken a firm stand for Mark Ruffalo amid antisemitism accusations tied to his Israel-Gaza remarks. The Oscar-winning filmmaker and longtime friend of Ruffalo addressed the allegations in a letter to The Hollywood Reporter. He called the antisemitism accusation against Ruffalo "overtly preposterous" and said it was being used to silence his criticism of Israel.
Ruffalo's latest controversy followed his criticism of Oracle founder Larry Ellison and the company's reported ties to Israeli military technology. He also faced backlash from Paramount Skydance after criticizing the proposed Warner Bros. Discovery merger. The company accused him of using antisemitic tropes, but Ruffalo denied it and said he was criticizing political and corporate actions.
Lonergan's relationship with Ruffalo dates back to You Can Count on Me, his 2000 directorial debut starring Laura Linney and Ruffalo. The film was widely praised and marked the beginning of their friendship, which has continued for decades.
Their long friendship led Lonergan to publicly defend the actor. In his letter, he referred to Ruffalo as his "dear friend for thirty years." Lonergan called the antisemitism accusation "a cynical and disgusting lie" and questioned the motives behind it. He wants the Simon Wiesenthal Center to review its response and clarify where it detects any antisemitism.
Lonergan said that attacking Ruffalo personally helps critics avoid addressing his actual arguments. He also acknowledged that he "disagrees profoundly with many of his positions on the Middle East, Israel, Gaza, and Iran's constellation of fanatical Islamic fundamentalist proxies." However, Lonergan said people can disagree with Ruffalo's views without labeling his criticism of Israel as antisemitic.

Keith Downie is reporting that Sunderland and Ajax have agreed a deal that will see Simon Adingra join the Dutch side on loan for the rest of the season. The former Brighton winger, who is currently injured, will join Ajax in the Eredivisie. Last season Sunderland spent £21.5m to bring in Adingra from Brighton, but the Ivorian only managed 15 appearances for the then recently promoted Sunderland. Adingra spent the second half of the campaign on loan at Monaco.
Adingra has a deal until 2030 with Sunderland, who will be hoping that a move to Ajax will help him rediscover some form or attract potential buyers next summer. Adingra came through at Danish side Nordsjaelland, scoring 12 goals in 40 games. In the summer of 2022 he joined Brighton before immediately being loaned out to Union St Gilloise in Belgium. Adingra was great for Union during the 2022/2023 season, scoring 14 goals in 51 games and providing 13 ******* ists. On his return to Brighton he played 73 games, with 12 goals and five ******* ists. He only scored once for Sunderland during his 15 games for the club. For Monaco, he played 17 games with three goals and two ******* ists.
Ajax will be hoping that a return to the low countries will bring out the form Adingra had shown during his time across the border with Union. Ajax have already signed one winger this summer, with Ukranian international Victor Tsygankov joining from Girona.

While most of America spent last week mourning the loss of country music legend Dolly Parton, some Drag Race fans spent 9 to 5 trying to stir up controversy with an AI deepfake.
A post accusing Ginger Minj of faking a photo with Parton went viral on social media in the wake of the "Jolene" singer's death, leaving Ginger open to accusations of lying and dividing the Drag Race fandom.
Fans of the franchise have been mired in controversy lately. Between the queens fighting it out over Onya Nurve's comments on the Minoritea Report podcast, where she said her castmates couldn't relate to her because they didn't win and she did, and Art Simone begging fans to stop sending her hateful messages, it seems like the Drag Race drama never ends.
Minj is the newest queen to fall victim to the judgment of fans who claim that this "fake" photo with Parton is just the latest thing Minj has been caught lying about.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Logan Farrington scored in the seventh minute of second-half stoppage time to rally FC Dallas to a 3-3 draw with St. Louis City on Sunday night.
St. Louis City (9-6-7) extended its club-record unbeaten streak to 12 under first-year coach Yoann Damet, but missed a chance to move ahead of fifth-place Dallas (9-6-7) in the Western Conference.
Farrington used ****** ists from Petar Musa and Nolan Norris to score the equalizer.
Simon Becher scored unassisted in the 3rd minute to give St. Louis City an early lead. Four of his six goals this season have come in the last four matches.
Dallas pulled even on defender Shaq Moore's first goal of the season — unassisted in the 18th minute. Four of Moore's five career goals have come in his two seasons with the club.

Six years after his sad passing, fans are remembering the life and legacy of actor Chadwick Boseman, who died on August 28, 2020, at the age of 43 after a private four-year battle with colon cancer.
His death has left his family embroiled in a legal battle after his brothers took his widow, Taylor Simone Ledward, to court over her handling of his multimillion-dollar estate.
Ledward previously spoke about moving on, saying she was sure Boseman wouldn't want her life to be all about his legacy.

Robert Andrich's future at Bayer Leverkusen has taken a surprising turn.
The 31-year-old midfielder had recently emerged as a clear candidate to leave the club after new head coach Carles Martínez made it clear that Andrich would initially have only a minor role in his midfield plans. Leverkusen had therefore encouraged the former Germany international to look for a new club.
However, just days before the transfer window closes, a U-turn now appears to be underway.
Following Bayer's surprising 3-2 defeat at newly promoted SV Elversberg on Saturday, sporting CEO Simon Rolfes indicated that he expects Andrich to stay.
"I ***** ume that he will stay," Rolfes said after the disappointing Bundesliga opener.

Ever since the great Claude Rains first uttered the immortal line "Round up the usual suspects!" in Casablanca, the phrase has been ingrained in the popular lexicon — so much so that it inspired the ****** le of an entirely different movie nearly 50 years later. You hear it everywhere, in any context where you can expect to see a predictable set of participants.
On Saturday, a struggling Juventus were buoyed by a pair of very unusual suspects — guys most fans figured would be gone, or at least on their way out the door, by this point in the transfer window. Unable to penetrate a deep-lying Parma defense, it was Nico González who gave a moribund attack an instant shot in the arm, forcing a magical save before scoring a deflected goal off his own rebound to open the scoring. Then, with two minutes left, the game was sealed by another unlikely goalscorer: Teun Koopmeiners, who had just come on after an injury to Andrea Cambiaso and finished off a quick attack with a beautiful finish.
The unlikely redemption arcs from players most ****** umed were out of the team's plans, or at least on the very fringes, were welcome developments for a team that learned this week that their talisman, Kenan Yildiz, would miss two to three months once he undergoes surgery on a broken metatarsal. After a first half that seemed to be crying out for his creativity, it was the transfer-listed González who gave the Bianconeri the necessary spark to take Parma down 2-0 as they began to look forward to next week's big match against AC Milan.
Apart from Yildiz, Luciano Spalletti was also missing Weston McKennie (muscle fatigue), Edon Zhegrova, and Khéphren Thuram, who suffered a setback in his knee recovery and could now require surgery. Jeff Ekhator came back to make his first Juve squad in a competitive game. Spalletti's 4-2-3-1 was therefore shuffled a bit. Guglielmo Vicario started in goal after getting over the cramp that forced him off late against Frosinone. Pierre Kalulu and Zeki Çelik played on the defensive flanks, while Bremer was partnered with new signing Jhon Lucumí in the middle of defense. Manuel Locatelli and Douglas Luiz played in the midfield, while Francisco Conceição, Jonathan David, and Jérémie Boga supported Randal Kolo Muani in attack.
Carlos Cuesta lost his first Parma match last week against Cagliari, and were looking for something better here. His only missing player was former Juve prospect Hans Nicolussi Caviglia, who had to have a surgery of his own this week. Edoardo Corvi started behind a 4-4-2. Enrico Delprato, Mariano Troilo, Dominik Drobnic, and Emanuele Valeri arrayed themselves in front of him. Sascha Britschgi and Mandela Keita bookended Christian Ordóñez and Adrían Bernabé in midfield. El Bilal Touré and Simone Lontani started up front. Drobnic and Lontani were both teenagers, and the former was making his debut.

MACON, Ga. (AP) — Jaylen King threw for a touchdown and Cameron Goggins had an interception return for a touchdown and Mercer held off East Texas A&M 23-15 in a season opener on Saturday night.
The Bears enter the season ranked 21st in the Stats Perform FCS Top 25 poll.
Simon Zeidan opened the scoring with a 55-yard field goal to put Mercer up 3-0.
Before the end of the first, King threw a 12-yard touchdown to Jackson Kostmayer for a 10-0 lead. Zeidan added field goals of 21 and 33 yards to extend the lead to 16-0 with 30 seconds before halftime.
Fifteen seconds later, Eric Rodriguez threw a 38-yard pick-6 to Goggins for a 23-point lead.

The Atlanta Falcons made their first big move to get under the 53-man limit by cutting 11 players on Saturday. This roster shakeup includes the surprising release of linebacker Channing Tindall and the placement of cornerback Darren Hall on injured reserve. According to reports, the team waived seven players, moved Hall to IR, and released three others to reach 79 total players. This is a massive shift for a roster that looked different just 24 hours ago.
Many fans will feel the sting of seeing Channing Tindall go. He stood out in the preseason win over the Indianapolis Colts, yet the team decided to move on. Falcons Wire reported that Tindall, along with defensive back Keidron Smith and tight end Joshua Simon, will have to look for work elsewhere. The front office clearly wants a different mix of talent for this new era under Kevin Stefanski. It hurts to lose a player who showed promise, but the math of the roster forces these tough choices.
Placing Darren Hall on injured reserve is a financial and strategic blow that many missed. Hall was a fourth-round pick who signed a four-year deal worth $4,284,748 with an $804,748 signing bonus on that rookie deal. NFL Trade Rumors observed that his contract entered its third year when Atlanta released him following the preseason. The team signed him to a new contract in May, only to cut him just weeks later. This looks like a clear signal that the coaching staff does not see him as a key part of the long-term plan.
In 2025, Hall played 13 games for the Cardinals while tallying 21 total tackles. He was a solid contributor, but the Falcons are willing to eat the cost to clear a spot for someone they believe is better. The move saves cap ***** e but leaves a hole in the secondary depth. It is a risky gamble to cut a player so quickly, but the new regime is not afraid to make bold moves.
The final cuts also included wide receiver Keelan Marion, defensive tackle Devonnsha Maxwell, and offensive lineman Andrew Stueber. Falcons Wire listed these names among the notable players waived on Saturday afternoon. Marion ended the final game versus the Dolphins with a single catch for nine yards, yet his tenure in Atlanta has concluded. The team now has 24 hours left to get the roster down to the final 53 before the Sunday evening deadline.

Nvidia (NVDA) just posted another banger earnings report on Aug. 26, blowing past Wall Street's expectations as sales more than doubled and adjusted profit handily cleared estimates.
Then Raymond James raised the temperature further when the firm's 5-star ****** yst Simon Leopold dropped an eye-popping new Nvidia price target, which is comfortably above other major Wall Street forecasts.
Investors responded with force post earnings, as, per Bloomberg, Nvidia stock jumped 8.7% the following session to $227.9. This added $442 billion in market value, while finishing just below its record close after another punishing choppy stretch.
Moreover, it's important to note that Leopold's call lands after Nvidia stock has gained nearly 21% year to date and around 8% over the past three months, according to Seeking Alpha, despite concerns that AI spending, competition, and elevated memory costs might slow the company's momentum.
Leopold believes Wall Street is still underestimating Nvidia's massive scale and sees supply, rather than customer demand, as arguably the biggest obstacle ahead.

David Ornstein and Simon Johnson report for The Athletic that Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign Emi Martinez from Aston Villa, with the Blues to pay £7.5m for the goalkeeper.
Martinez will sign a two-year deal with Chelsea, with the option to extend by an additional 12 months.
Villa had opted to replace Martinez with Zion Suzuki this summer, and the goalkeeper has reportedly been training alone ever since. A transfer was clearly the preferred option for all parties.

Jon Stewart recently compared the Obamas' time in the White House to President Donald Trump's.
"I imagine for you and your family that it's a surreal experience for you guys because of the effort that you put into building something up and to watch it be corrupted," Stewart, 63, remarked on the Wednesday, August 26 episode of Michelle Obama and her brother Craig Robinson's IMO podcast. "To have this perversion of leadership, I imagine, is especially difficult to digest. There's a surreal quality to it."
Stewart then pointed out that the former first lady, 62, and her husband, former President Barack Obama, "left money on the table," joking that she could have had "a Michelle meme coin."

If you loved the statement from Sandra Bullock and the glamour from Nicole Kidman, but wanted something a little darker, Maisie Williams had you covered. After setting the tone with her archive Gucci look at BBC Radio Studios earlier in the day, she continued that mood for the Practical Magic 2 London premiere.

The actress wore a custom Ellie Misner dress inspired by Sandra Bullock's red carpet look from the 1999 Los Angeles premiere of 'Forces of Nature.'

Simone Ashley may have a new romance in her life after spending much of the past year saying she wanted to take her time before entering another relationship.
The 31-year-old Bridgerton star was photographed holding hands with Jay Jammal during an August 23 outing in London's Notting Hill neighborhood. Just Jared identified Jammal as a senior account executive at Soho Communications, while neither he nor Ashley has publicly defined their relationship.
The outing looked considerably more casual than a red-carpet debut. Ashley wore a short yellow dress and patterned blue bandana while she and Jammal walked dogs through the neighborhood, and photographs showed the two smiling and holding hands.
It is the first time Ashley and Jammal have been publicly photographed together. The sighting comes almost a year after Ashley was seen kissing businessman Tim Sykes at the 2025 U.S. Open, another connection she never publicly labeled, and more than a year after she declared herself in her "single era."
The new photographs show Ashley and Jammal walking side by side through Notting Hill on Sunday afternoon before joining hands. PEOPLE described the outing as their first public sighting together. Both were walking dogs, with Ashley carrying a white handbag while Jammal wore jeans, a dark T-shirt and a baseball cap.

OpenAI's head of data centers, Chris Malone, has left the company, adding to a string of senior executive departures at the artificial intelligence lab this year.
TechCrunch first reported his departure. Malone, who brought experience from data center roles at Meta and Google, came aboard in March 2025, and his exit arrives amid OpenAI's sweeping infrastructure expansion — one that envisions committing around $600 billion to compute through 2030, per CNBC.
OpenAI said in a statement that the company had "recently reorganized" its "infrastructure organization to support the scale and pace of our work," adding that it has "a strong, deeply experienced data center team in place, with clear leadership and the technical expertise to execute our plans." Under the new structure, Malone's reporting line shifted away from OpenAI President Greg Brockman and moved to OpenAI Vice President Sachin Katti, who ***** umed oversight of the group, according to TechCrunch. Responsibility for data center strategy is now distributed across a handful of leaders: Uday Ruddarraju heads the data center team, Brent Mayo manages the build and delivery program, and Spas Lazarov oversees data center engineering.
Malone's exit is one piece of a broader pattern of attrition at the top of the company. According to TechCrunch, Business Insider put the total count of senior departures in 2026 at 13, with a notable cluster occurring in recent weeks.
Earlier this month, Chief Revenue Officer Denise Dresser announced she was leaving after nine months on the job and will be replaced by Dali Rajic, who most recently served as president and chief operating officer of cybersecurity company Wiz. Her departure came just days after Brad Lightcap, who spent eight years at OpenAI, including a four-year run as chief operating officer, said he was leaving to start a new venture. Before those exits, product and business chief Fidji Simo stepped down last month to manage a chronic illness, and Chief Marketing Officer Kate Rouch left in April for health reasons.
