6:36 pm
wales. so it will feel like a home fixture for turkey, and they will go into this wanting to prove a point to those fans, having lost 3—0 in their opening game. it'll be like a home fixture for them, — it'll be like a home fixture for them, so _ it'll be like a home fixture for them, so we will have to manage the game _ them, so we will have to manage the game really— them, so we will have to manage the game really well. we need 11 plays on the _ game really well. we need 11 plays on the pitch to do that. it'll be an externally— on the pitch to do that. it'll be an externally tough game, we know that. any team _ externally tough game, we know that. any team that's qualified for the euros _ any team that's qualified for the euros will— any team that's qualified for the euros will give you a tough challenge, and we'll be ready for it. challenge, and we'll be ready for it we _ challenge, and we'll be ready for it we had — challenge, and we'll be ready for it. we had a quick turn and games, so today— it. we had a quick turn and games, so today will — it. we had a quick turn and games, so today will be a big day for us in the prep, — so today will be a big day for us in the prep, looking at both sides of it. the prep, looking at both sides of it so _ the prep, looking at both sides of it so a _ the prep, looking at both sides of it so a lot— the prep, looking at both sides of it. so a lot of work will go into it, it. so a lot of work will go into it. but— it. so a lot of work will go into it. but we _ it. so a lot of work will go into it, but we will be prepared already. they'll _ it, but we will be prepared already. they'll have to be ready to contend with that huge turkish support there. what shape are the team in heading into that game tomorrow? watching them train today, it seemed everyone was fit and well, but it is
6:37 pm
for not fitness for wales. they've not been at their best in the last few games, and bailand not been at their best in the last few games, and bail and ramsey are not firing on all cylinders. —— gareth bale. maybe they'll look at introducing some of their more skilful midfielders or attacking plays like harry wilson, david brook, some of the names being dropped. 0ne brook, some of the names being dropped. one man certain to start is key for more, who got that important goal on saturday, making himself. while fans will be desperate to see him scoring again. —— welsh fans. thanks very much. kick off tomorrow at five p:m.. scotland manager steve clarke said his side weren't clinical enough as they slippped to defeat against czech republic yesterday. the big question now is, how does he pick his team up from their opening defeat? jane dougall is with the squad. jane, how do scotland
6:38 pm
pick themselves up after yesterday's disappointment? they'll just have to they'lljust have to put this defeat behind them and regroup. the most disappointing aspect of yesterday's loss was that statistically speaking, looking at the paper on group, the czech republic was the most likely side that scotland could have got a win against. 0f most likely side that scotland could have got a win against. of course they didn't do that, and the frustrating thing was that scotland had 3— for decent chances which they just didn't take. captain andy robertson said after the match they weren't clinical enough. —— 3—4. but the czech republic work clinical enough. especially with that second incredible goal from the halfway length, catching this deal—maker the goalkeeper office lane. steve park was asked today how david marshall was asked today how david marshall was after conceding both of those goals, particularly that second one. he said he was fine, he probably face that shot 50 times or more in
6:39 pm
his career, and this was the one time it goes in — this can happen in football. in fact, steve clark was pretty philosophical about the whole defeat. he said he felt that they could still get out of the group despite having that first loss. he also said that he felt that they had to concentrate on the performance and not the score. boys are fine, boys are good. completely relaxed, they know what they have _ completely relaxed, they know what they have to do. we said before, we need _ they have to do. we said before, we need to— they have to do. we said before, we need to get— they have to do. we said before, we need to get the points required to -et need to get the points required to get out _ need to get the points required to get out of— need to get the points required to get out of the group. we still have a chance _ get out of the group. we still have a chance to — get out of the group. we still have a chance to do that, so... rather than _ a chance to do that, so... rather than all— a chance to do that, so... rather than all the — a chance to do that, so... rather than all the doom and gloom that followed — than all the doom and gloom that followed the result, not the performance, the result should be put to— performance, the result should be out to one — performance, the result should be put to one side and we just concentrate on the next game. no time to concentrate on the next game. fir? time to wallow with that second game coming so soon on friday. kieran tierney a big miss. any indication if he will be back
6:40 pm
fit for the england game? steve clark was asked why tierney wasn't even on the bench yesterday. as you can guess, he's a man of few words, he didn't go into great detail about why tierney wasn't on the bench yesterday. all he said was that he had a wii niggle which could mean anything, it could mean a tight hamstring or something. he trained earlier today here at rock cliff, because of course scotland travelled back here. but he's definitely in contention for playing against england. when steve clark was asked about that, he said, "he's got a chance." that's all he said, not going into further detail. if that's the case, that's bound to be a boost for the scotland squad, with all the build—up to the fixture against england and all the history between the two countries, there'll be a lot of pressure on the squad going into
6:41 pm
england and hopefully playing well against england at wembley. it would've been nice to have gone into that match with a first group when under their belt, not to be — now scotland have to do it the hard way. the return of tierney would be a big boost for scotland. jane, many thanks for that. so scotland will be hoping to get something at wembley against england. 0lly foster is with the england camp. evening, 0lly. the mood there is in stark contrast to the scotland camp? that fantastic win auainst to the scotland camp? that fantastic win against croatia _ to the scotland camp? that fantastic win against croatia on _ to the scotland camp? that fantastic win against croatia on sunday, - win against croatia on sunday, spirits high. the slight dampener of the news is that dean henderson has had to drop out of the squad, he's been nursing a hip injury for a few days. he drops out of the squad, the goalkeeping position, the only
6:42 pm
position you're allowed to replace once you reach the tournament. aaron ramsey dale who had been in the provisional squad a few years ago comes in. samjohnston, the best brown keeper, released this on social media, saying, "while i'm delighted to bejoining back—up of the england, my immediate thoughts are with dino as i know how much it meant for him to be involved in a major tournament, that's what dreams are made of." we spoke to another man talking about his involvement with england, tyrone meetings. remember he got the nod to start it withjohnston. so much speculation as to how gareth bale would set up his england side. he went with his preferred back for, and tyrone told us how proud he was to start with england. just ten years ago he was scratching around in non—league football, balancing that with bar work. but he spoke to us at length
6:43 pm
about how special it was to walk out at wembley in front of the fans against croatia and keep a clean sheet. he said how they're all pressing the rebut to make a reset button, looking forward to that game on friday against the scots, putting that croatia win behind him, knowing one more win would put them injuly 16. aware of the history of the game and the rivalry— aware of the history of the game and the rivalry that it has around. but at the _ the rivalry that it has around. but at the end — the rivalry that it has around. but at the end of the day, our first aim is to— at the end of the day, our first aim is to qualify — at the end of the day, our first aim is to qualify for the group, and scotland — is to qualify for the group, and scotland is the first team to play. both teams will go into it knowing what's _ both teams will go into it knowing what's at — both teams will go into it knowing what's at stake. and knowing that ultimately we both want to win the game, _ ultimately we both want to win the game, they'll be preparing to try and be _ game, they'll be preparing to try and be england, as england will be preparing — and be england, as england will be preparing to try and beat scotland. so i preparing to try and beat scotland. so i think— preparing to try and beat scotland. so i think it — preparing to try and beat scotland. so i think it will be a very good game — what about those players who haven't

6:45 pm
where hungary are playing portugal. what's the latest? if the holders were banking on an easy game, they were very much wrong? it's been a tough encounter for them in theirfirst wrong? it's been a tough encounter for them in their first game. it’s for them in their first game. it's not been easy — for them in their first game. it�*s not been easy but everything is changed in the last ten minutes. after a brilliant effort by hungary to hold it at 0—0 for so long until the 84th minute, they thought they had taken the lead. the substitute had taken the lead. the substitute had a goal that allowed on 80 minutes, a really good shot from the right—hand side of the penalty area, passed the petite seo —— passed through the goalkeeper. heartbreaking for fans, through the goalkeeper. heartbreaking forfans, but through the goalkeeper. heartbreaking for fans, but they still had the opportunity to uphold the draw. then it all changed. 84th minute, rafael guerrero with a crucial goal for portugal, left foot
