realistically finish in the top to and qualify for euro 202a. you will find commentary of that wales game on the bbc sport website. the premier league's chief executive richard masters was quizzed by mp's on a number of football matters today, including the ownership of newcastle united. he also rejected the assertion that his organisation had failed to engage with the proposals to create a new independant regulatorfor the game. tracey crouch, also appeared before the select committee. she chaired the fan—led review which initially recommended a regulator, and she was asked whether the premier league had tried to stall or slow the process down. i'v e i've heard from many people and it's all antidotal that the premier league approach to this report is to kick it into the long grass. hesse kick it into the long grass. have ou kick it into the long grass. have you picked _ kick it into the long grass. have you picked uo — kick it into the long grass. have you picked up on _ kick it into the long grass. have you picked up on it _ kick it into the long grass. have you picked up on it anywhere? yeah, ifeel— you picked up on it anywhere? yeah, i feel that _ you picked up on it anywhere? yeah, i feel that that is one of the tactics _ i feel that that is one of the tactics that is being deployed. and certainly— tactics that is being deployed. and certainly in briefings of

6:40 pm
dan roanjoined me earlier to talk abour master's appearance before the committee. it's fascinating because for the first time we got a sense of the frustration that they former sports minister tracey crouch felt toward some of the what premier league is tactics, as she put it towards the process. we've always known that many of the premier league clubs were in principle against that idea. but for the first time today you got that sense of what she believes were delay tactics, effectively attempts by some of the premier league clubs to frustrate those plans. she agreed with the suggestion that it was an attempt to kick it into the long grass. as you also heard, richard master, the premier league was adamant that wasn't the case was that what was interesting is that the very end of the session the chair suggested that he'd received messages that that had indeed been discussed, this approach during meeting and he asked the premier league chief richard master is to go away and make sure that wasn't in any of the meetings, minutes from

6:42 pm
also the newcastle chairman is effectively a minister of the state. there is some believe jars, contradicts the assurances that legally bind the department lead received back in 2021 that there would not be state control of newcastle united. it was on the basis that they approved that takeover. if that now is in doubt, there's been some suggestion that some of the club are saying you need to relook at that and perhaps reconsider whether or not the deal should have been allowed. fiur reconsider whether or not the deal should have been allowed. our sports ednon 0ur sports editor. beth mead looks set to miss the women's world cup this summer, the england head coach sarina wiegman certainly isn't counting on her star forward to be fit in time after a serious knee injury. wiegman has named her squad for next month's friendlies against brazil and australia, our reporterjane dougall was at st george's park. this will be the last squad selection for serena ligament before work out. she's made a couple of interesting decisions. despite being

interesting decisions. despite being in form for todd but the goal difference katie has not been selected for the bethany england, who scored five times and lasix appearances for tottenham has not been called up either. and ebony sam, lottie wright and emily ramsey have all been dropped from the 25 players god. now beekman was asked about the golden boot winner at the euros, beth mead who is still recovering from her surgery on her acl. dickman said in terms of the world cup the door wasn't completely shut on e. she world cup the door wasn't completely shut on e. ,, , world cup the door wasn't completely shut on e. . , ., world cup the door wasn't completely shuton e. ,, , ., , �*, shut on e. she is doing well, she's doinu shut on e. she is doing well, she's doing good- _ shut on e. she is doing well, she's doing good- at _ shut on e. she is doing well, she's doing good. at the _ shut on e. she is doing well, she's doing good. at the world - shut on e. she is doing well, she's doing good. at the world cup - doing good. at the world cup is actually too early for that what we set dial, she is not under plans now. this really take the time to get beth well. but if a miracle happens and she goes so fast, we will reconsider it. but at this moment, i don't it.-

6:45 pm
medical issues in november. she said it was going to be very valuable for the european appearance to play with teams outside of europe like brazil and australia. the first batch will be at wembley where they lifted the trophy in the summer. great memories for england they are. they will be playing against brazil and later on in april they will play against australia. the lionesses captain leah williamson is number one on this year's bbc woman's hour power list — which recognises 30 women in the uk who have made a "significant impact in the sporting world." the list comes from audience suggestions — which judges then consider — before naming their top 30. as women we use as women we use been as women we use been living in the shadows, maybe. where we know we have the ability to step up. so i think when we do recognise women like this, when there is recognition i think it's great because it shows

that next person, if you can't see it you can't be it. something i really love as a saying. i think that whole concept of shine a light on those that are already doing it so that those below are aspiring to be in those positions can believe that there is a place for them in that there is a place for them in that world, so so to speak. police scotland are investigating after the rangers assistant manager, craig mcpherson appeared to headbutt celtic boss fran alonso following the i—all draw last night in the scottish women's super league. 0ur correspondent chris mclaughlin is following this in glasgow. yes, there is really an important league match between rangers and celtic last night, celtic equalising to make it 1—1 with literally the last kick of the ball. as the players were leaving the page and those in the technical area started to shake hands, one of the rangers coaches craig mcpherson approached
6:47 pm
the celtic head coach from behind and appeared to headbutt him. that sparked anger in the technical area. fran alonso was asked about the incident after the game, he said he didn't want to take things any further. but the police have confirmed they are investigating and at the moment inquiries are at an early stage. celtic relates a statement today. they said... they went on to say... no word from rangers as yet. we have asked them for comment, no word eitherfrom the as wpl, the women's league here in scotland. but we do understand that they sfp will investigate the matter when they see the match delegates report. let's have a quick look at some
