history lessons had been like that in school, i would have listened more! germany have won the last six championships, but this is football with its own folklore. england and scotla nd with its own folklore. england and scotland both hope to make their mark. so the anticipation is building. we can now go live to katie. how fans reacting so far? there is a lot of enthusiasm for this one, as you can imagine. the players have arrived now. a short while ago there were a lot of fans cheering them on. england, we heard in that report, this is unprecedented territory for them, they arrive as favourites, not just in this match but in the whole

tournament. they love the players have been talking about this as the biggest game of their careers. they have players who could trouble england, scotland. caroline where who's been on good form for liverpool in the w s l this year. england are talking about how they are the fittest they have ever been. although scotland have injuries, they are missing some of their best players, it hasn't dampened the enthusiasm from their fans. it's important, it's a major achievement. there's a little bit of rivalry, but we hope there will be some camaraderie as well. it's amazing to see the girls doing well at this, so, yeah... it's exciting to come

celtic hold a 2—0 lead from the first leg in belfast last friday. it's celtic‘s first competitive game at home in the new season and kenny crawford is there for us. good evening from glasgow where the weather isn't quite as nice as it was last night. in fact, i think it's going to plummet down so no dinner out in the garden to night, but for these teams, the pre—match meals will have been eating ahead of the 19 point 45 kick—off meals will have been eating ahead of the 19.45 also uefa have brought charges against linfield and celtic for improper conduct, fans throwing things on the pitch, five yellow cards. celtic only scored twice, though manager brendan rodgers once and to be more clinical tonight. though manager brendan rodgers once and to be more clinical tonightm is myjob as coach along with my

staff to create more chances, and hopefully they will be clinical, and hopefully they will be clinical, and hopefully they will have an inspired night, particularly roy carroll. roy carroll, former rangers goalkeeper, what we don't want to do is come here to be humiliated. we've seen some of the results in the performance, we don't want to come to celtic park and be blown away. you can listen to live coverage on bbc radio scotland's sports. it will be covered on the bbc sport website. also note that the winner will

either play rosen borg of norway 01’... no british or northern ireland golfer has ever won the open at birkdale .. but there's real hope that could change at the weekend.. one of the contenders is local lad tommy fleetwood. last september he was ranked one hundred and 88th in the world. now he's up to fourteenth thanks to some outstanding performances including a fourth place finish at the us open. 0ur correpondent andy swiss went to birkdale to meet him.. the players are fine tune in their preparations now. fleetwood grew up a tee shot away from here. he's had

a tee shot away from here. he's had a career 14th in the world rankings. he is the person everyone here is talking about. i caught up with him on the first fairway. it will be an experience i have never had before. it's the strength of the home crowd. i know i don't live here any more but i was born and bred here, 25 yea rs. but i was born and bred here, 25 years. what are your earliest memory is? i used to sneak on. i can't go back on my word now. it's the main standout pause at the town. it's such a golfing town. it was the first open i ever went to. 1998. did you ever dream you would be back here, not just you ever dream you would be back here, notjust competing but as a real contender? i'd love to tell my

seven—year—old self what would happen in 20 years. again, that's something being talked about, a chance to win the open, something i've got to deal with, but i'd rather be that way then nobody talking about it. it is great and looking back as a kid, 20 years on, a lot has gone into it, but to come back to your home with a chance to win the open is special. it is so nice to play in front of friends, family, home crowd people i've grown up family, home crowd people i've grown up with all my life. it can be a daunting experience because you are playing in front of simony people, but then on the other hand you've so many people rooting for you so it's lovely i get to do it in an open. that's an amazing feeling, an

amazing experience. just having that asa amazing experience. just having that as a home event. if i can give them something to cheer about then that will be great. victory for tommy fleetwood would be quite a story. no one has won since nick fouled dope in 1992. 25 years ago, but others hoping to end that statistic, justin rose, who shot to fame as a 17—year—old amateur here by chipping at the final hole on the sunday. he has high hopes of winning. rory mcilroy, he has had a few problems recently but the world number one dustinjohnson, it recently but the world number one dustin johnson, it has recently but the world number one dustinjohnson, it has the makings of another enthralling championship which gets under way here tomorrow morning. we would join fleetwood when the open starts tomorrow.

welljoining fleetwood when the open gets underway tomorrow will be sheffield—born adam hodkinson. hodkinson turned professional in 2009, but had almost five years out of the game after falling on a building site and breaking his wrist. he's ranked — wait for it — one thousand two hundred and 73 in the world but he'll make his 0pen debut after coming through a qualifying competition. jessica creighton caught up with adam earlier and started by asking him how felt when he realised he was playing at birkdale. when i finished qualifying, i had to wait three hours. it was the worst three hours of my life. but once it was confirmed i was in, it was amazing, a dream come true to play in the open. i can't wait to go and prove myself. once you are there, you will be rubbing shoulders with some of the greatest golfers on the planet. how will you prepare? go and

do my own being. it would be easy to be starstruck and carried away, but i'm confident in my own ability and ifigo i'm confident in my own ability and if i go and do what i know i can do, then the gulf will speak for itself. ifigo then the gulf will speak for itself. if i go and play well, then i believe i can compete against them. thinking about who you might tee off with, who would be your dream partnership? tiger woods. he was my idol, if he was still playing. studio: camera work, and marvellous shot. he was the best there ever was, but he is not playing any more. at the moment, dustinjohnson would be great. he hits it miles so it would be good to see that in real life. tommy fleetwood, a local lad, he played the lancashire when i

played for yorkshire. he used to do fa ntastically well. played for yorkshire. he used to do fantastically well. it would be nice to play with tommy, play with someone to play with tommy, play with someone i know and see how he is doing so well really. adam hodkinson there. the very best of luck to him. he tees of at 11:15 tomorrow morning. we heard him talk there about some of the big stars who'll be targeting that famous old claretjug. let's here from some of them now. 0nce once you win one, obviously, that's off your shoulder and it's more about putting yourself in contention to wina about putting yourself in contention to win a second one, given the long and successful career i have had, that's pretty much what i am aiming for. if i was in a betting company andl for. if i was in a betting company and i saw my form over the past few weeks, you would say, yeah, it's a fair price, but all it takes is for

one week for those odds to go back to 7-1, 8-1, one week for those odds to go back to 7—1,8—1, quite one week for those odds to go back to 7—1, 8—1, quite hollow. one week for those odds to go back to 7-1, 8-1, quite hollow. i'm trying to keep my ball striking where it's at. ifeel fresh trying to keep my ball striking where it's at. i feel fresh and ready to go. i like the golf course. it's very close, very tough but a fair test. everybody knows how much i love the open championship and i would love to have one before i no longer have the goods, so i'm looking forward to this week. longer have the goods, so i'm looking forward to this weeklj longer have the goods, so i'm looking forward to this week. i feel like i play well over here. i like this kind of golf, you've got to use your imagination, a lot of different shots. it would definitely mean a lot and it will mean itjust as much as my others. i've dreamt about it

since i was a young boy, and to do it here, it would be full circle. it's a special venue and like you say, a lot of memories. great britain will hoping to add to their impressive medal tally medal tally of 20 at the world para athletics this evening. here's a look at the medal table. china and the united states both have 14 golds but china sit on top of the list because of that extra silver medal. the us have a total of 34 compared to china's 32 so a real battle between those two. britain didn't have many athletes in action yesterday and finished without a medal, with their overall tally at the london stadium remaining 11 gold and 20 medals in all. so let's join our reporter kate grey
