hello and welcome to the programme. it's the international derby that always has an edge to it — scotland against england. tomorrow's nations league match is being played at hampden, and more than pride is at stake here — england are trying to qualify for the olympics on behalf of team gb. the result of this match could be a factor, so there's a twist. a loss for scotland might actually benefit some of the scottish players who could play at the olympics. but do not suggest that to them! it's very complicated, but luckily our women's sport reporter, jo currie, is in glasgow to explain it for us. can you talk us through the

understands what the history between these two sides is likely to it is a bit of a funny situation, because england know they have to win, they don't know how many goals they have to win by. she says she wants her team to go wild from the first minute but she also said they need to show composure. you don't want to get erratic. we want _ you don't want to get erratic. we want to— you don't want to get erratic. we want to be — you don't want to get erratic. we want to be controlled, what we really _ want to be controlled, what we really want to play our best game and create — really want to play our best game and create chances to get lots of players — and create chances to get lots of players of — and create chances to get lots of players of front, but do the right things. _ players of front, but do the right things, make the right choices and steam _ things, make the right choices and steam common all our moments and score _ steam common all our moments and score is_ steam common all our moments and score is 18~ _ steam common all our moments and score is 18. don't concede any. —— slay— score is 18. don't concede any. —— stay calm — score is 18. don't concede any. —— stay calm and _ score is 18. don't concede any. —— stay calm and score as a we always think_ stay calm and score as a we always think of— stay calm and score as a we always think of scenarios — what if we try things for— think of scenarios — what if we try things for a — think of scenarios — what if we try things for a long period of time in the game — things for a long period of time in the game and it does not work? you have to _ the game and it does not work? you have to try— the game and it does not work? you have to try and do other things. but let's start _ have to try and do other things. but let's start where quality is, try to -et let's start where quality is, try to get behind — let's start where quality is, try to get behind the defence, create lots of changes and score. crucially, here's the question- _ changes and score. crucially, here's the question. do _ changes and score. crucially, here's the question. do scottish _ changes and score. crucially, here's the question. do scottish players i the question. do scottish players like rachel—

progress, and playing top teams like germany iceland, denmark, they are all very good teams but all very different as well, so we have had to learn how to deal with that. yeah, totally going forward for the new year, it will help us in the long run. at the time, i know it is not nice to lose games. the run. at the time, i know it is not nice to lose games.— run. at the time, i know it is not nice to lose games. the team has been criticised _ nice to lose games. the team has been criticised by _ nice to lose games. the team has been criticised by some _ nice to lose games. the team has been criticised by some former i been criticised by some former players. the defeat against iceland last week meant they were relegated from the top tier with a game to spare. up next, germany, who beat wales 5— won in october, but the manager says she has had no problems motivating her squad ahead of the final game. in motivating her squad ahead of the final came. , ., ., final game. in terms of our first-half — final game. in terms of our first-half performance i final game. in terms of our. first-half performance against first—half performance against germany, was very pleased from a tactical— germany, was very pleased from a tactical perspective. we scored a great _ tactical perspective. we scored a great goal against a very, very good defence. _ great goal against a very, very good defence. to — great goal against a very, very good defence. to set those standards in the second — defence. to set those standards in the second half, we wanted to finish the second half, we wanted to finish the game _ the second half, we wanted to finish the game in a different way, in terms — the game in a different way, in terms of— the game in a different way, in terms of finishing the game stronger. we have done that. in the dennrark— stronger. we have done that. in the denmark game, we did that on friday. wells— denmark game, we did that on friday. wells were _ denmark game, we did that on friday.

the two play tomorrow in the nations league. the scotland captain rachel corsie has said it is an insult to suggest as much. that is all from sportsday. thanks very much for watching. bye—bye. hello again. while we saw a bit of wintriness on monday across parts of scotland, northern england, mainly over higher ground, for many, actually, we saw some rain falling. that rain was really quite heavy for parts of central southern areas of england throughout monday. but as we go through into tuesday, this area of low pressure will continue to move away to the south—east. it'll stay pretty cloudy. still some wintriness over the higher ground of northern england, perhaps north wales as well. but with clear skies across scotland and northern ireland, here, a frost. temperatures —a, —5 degrees into tuesday.

for england and wales, frost—free. and that's because we've got lots of clouds, still some outbreaks of rain at times. gradually, though, that'll tend to clear away to the south—east and might see a bit of brightness eventually in north—western areas. plenty of blue skies and sunshine, though, across scotland and northern ireland throughout the day, with maximum temperatures here 3 or 3 celsius, maybe about 7 to 8 or 9 degrees for england and wales. now, as we go through tuesday nights, the cloud will continue to clear away from the south—east, and then with clear skies, it's still going to turn really quite cold, actually. a widespread frost expected, and we could see temperatures as low as —11, —12 degrees over the snowfields of northern scotland. but then as we go through wednesday, after a bright start to the day, you notice we've got this weather system in the west and that contains milder air. but it's going to be quite slow—moving, that, on wednesday, so while eventually the cloud increases across northern ireland, southern and western areas,

with some patchy rain eventually arriving late in the day, apart from some patches of mist and fog in central, southern areas, there'll be plenty of dry, plenty of sunny weather around during wednesday, but it will feel fairly chilly. temperatures only about 2—a or 5 celsius. but look at that — 11 degrees in plymouth, a sign of the milder air, which will eventually start to move its way in during wednesday as this weather front moves through. now, as it hits colder air, for a time, there could be some snow over the higher ground of scotland and northern england. but throughout thursday, really, this milder air, the oranges here really move north—eastward across all parts of the uk. so all of us will eventually see the temperatures rise really from wednesday onward. but with that, turning quite wet and windy at times as well. bye— bye.
