when steve clark was asked about that, he said, "he's got a chance."'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 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

that gives steve clarke a huge headache for his selection process, but it also gives him a concern about. of course, could be a real nailbiter tomorrow. you will have the very latest. would you believe it, gareth southgate was supposed to be giving a news conference right now with mason mount, but that's obviously not happening because mount is self—isolating. about three or four miles south from us here. all by himself. i know a lot of the questions will be about how does he get this england team clicking again. he's already confirmed that harry kane, even though he's out of form, possibly his fitness is a problem as well. although kane says it isn't, he will start this match against the czech republic. he said that the other players who have to give him more service in two matches. kane has not had a single shot on target. he'll be hoping that his third time lucky the czechs. and they would top the group, but for points as it stands, probably enough to get through. that will be confirmed with the group be matches. over the last play for hours, all the players have been rallying togethe

i can imagine that steve clarke will have been watching closely the results of all of those covid tests to ensure that has been no further spread of the virus within the scotland camp. that is good news. i guess after that defeat, the opening defeat to the czech republic, there was a sense of inevitability about scotland's to admit, when you consider this was not the first covid i'd pick they have had to contend with. john fleck tested positive for the virus, six players had to isolate in lead up to this treatment. you then combine at the feet to the czech republic, the influential defender kieran tierney missing out that match. and now the news over billy gilmour. asjohn mcginn said, they will have to do it to the scottish way. that is reason to the scottish way. that is reason to be hopeful, steve clarke has said, billy gilmour was hugely influential in that crucial draw against england at wembley, but he is just against england at wembley, but he isjust one against england at wembley, but he is just one player. against england at wembley, but he isjust one player. he against england

manager steve clarke staying upbeat, but where do the team go from here?e. know, steve clark, categorically said that this was a young and exciting team. and that this would not be the last tournament that they qualified for for another 23 years. yes, of course, it is disappointing and waking up this morning, the deflation is palpable in scotland. there was so much hope attached to this and especially the way they qualified for the euros. and the talent. the warm up beforehand as well. there were a lot of impressive displays from individuals. there was a huge amount of anticipation, which now, obviously, has not been delivered upon. scotland had to beat croatia last night. they did not do that. a loss or a draw would not have been good enough. and theyjust did not deliver. sold the euros journey for scotland is over. the squad and the coaching staff have left glasgow and have travelled to their respective homes. that is all of the squad apart from billy gilmore who is still self—isolating after testing positive for coronavirus. he did not have any involvem

it doesn't give steve clarke a selection headache for his team —— it does.de the disappointment. they have to focus on this match because if they do anything other than win, they do anything other than win, they are going home. a win will take them to at least third place in the group, but the players know that that will be tough. however, they also know what they have to do. confidence from it, and i think the more _ confidence from it, and i think the more games you play, the higher leveh _ more games you play, the higher leveh we — more games you play, the higher level. we should be ready to go because — level. we should be ready to go because croatia are a massive team with great _ because croatia are a massive team with great players. they were top seed _ with great players. they were top seed as _ with great players. they were top seed as well. tough game for us. just seed as well. tough game for us. just being — seed as well. tough game for us. just being here itself is history, but we — just being here itself is history, but we never wanted, we alway

so the scotland backroom team, steve clarke keeping their fingers crossed this is not something that'snecessary precautions, to make sure that no other players are infected. they say at this stage there are no close contacts identified, but they will look at players who have been closest to john fleck and perhaps take some precautions in that sense. but we always knew that this was going to be potentially an issue for these games. given where we are globally with this virus, so it should not really come as too big of a shock but for scotland, for steve clarke, for everyone associated with the national team here, the absolute keeping their fingers crossed no more positive cases are identified. i should also point out thatjohn fleck is not showing any symptoms. more cricket in a moment but first to the french open where players have been reacting to naomi osaka's decision to pull out. the 23—year—old says she's "suffered long bouts of depression" since winning her first grand slam title in 2018. following days of debate after she said she wouldn't do press conferences to protect her ment

steve clark really set up a scotland side perfectly to suffocate an england team that never really firedhenjohn stones rattled a post about skull and created plenty of chances, might have won it themselves, so they are on the up, really, after their opening defeat, and they feel that they will have got what it takes at hampden on tuesday night, to get the win and i have to get now against croatia. croatia needing exactly the same, will get to england in a moment, but steve clark faced the media today and was a very contented man. we've been improving _ and was a very contented man. we've been improving for _ and was a very contented man. we've been improving for a _ and was a very contented man. we've been improving for a long _ and was a very contented man. we've been improving for a long time - and was a very contented man. we've been improving for a long time so - and was a very contented man. we've been improving for a long time so it l been improving for a long time so it was nice _ been improving for a long time so it was nice to — been improving for a long time so it was nice to s

but assurances from steve clarke they will make qualifying for major tournaments the norm, it will noe scotland captain andy robertson as well speaking today about how proud he was and hopefully they've given the scottish faithful something to cheer about in this tournament. they certainly did that with that draw here against england. jane dougall reflecting on the disappointment of missing out on a spot in the last 16. yes, the euros journey yes, the eurosjourney for scotland is over after that 3—1 defeat to croatia. they desperately needed a win, loss, or draw would not have done, and theyjust couldn't deliver. so the squad and the coaching staff have all left glasgow and travelled to their respective homes — some having further to travel for others, but for all, homes — some having further to travel for others, but forall, it travel for others, but for all, it will feel like travel for others, but forall, it will feel like a very long journey. that's all the squad apart from billy gilmore, of course, because he tested positive for coronavirus before this match and wasn't able to tr

steve clarke will be stressing the positive.e fee to the czech republic in their first group game, but there were certainly elements of the performance that were there and he will want to build on that. and good news as well for scotland that they have their influential defender kieran tierney back in the side, but as we know, with matches between these two crowd nations, in many ways, form does go out the window. it is like a derby match and when you see england and scotland playing in a major men's tournament, as they are for the first time in 25 years, it is a very special occasion for british sport and with so much passion at play, so much pride at stake as well, here in wembley tonight, i think picking a winner, it's very hard to call. it’s tonight, i think picking a winner, it's very hard to call.— it's very hard to call. it's fair to sa the it's very hard to call. it's fair to say the england _ it's very hard to call. it's fair to say the england fans _ it's very hard to call. it's fair to say the england fans are - it's

agony for manager steve clarke. gareth southgate had played enough —— seen enough.ief of england's frustrated supporters club minutes later, harry kane was withdrawn after another below par performance, but it was scotland who looked more likely to score, adams again going close. despite an injury time goal mouth scramble, england had been kept at bay in a performance that raises more questions than answers. a goalless draw the result, but a point scotland will be proud of. let's return to our sports editor, dan roan, at wembley. what does this mean for both sides in the tournament?— in the tournament? despite a relatively disappointing - in the tournament? despite a - relatively disappointing performance by england, that was a point that takes them a step closer to qualification for knockout stages. they won it, it would have been guaranteed they would be through to the second round but, because it's a goalless draw, they will have to hope for another put at least against the czech republic on tuesday. while scotland play croatia. they will need a win if they are t

for scotland, it is what steve clarke chooses to do.ique occasion, and as you say the first time they have faced each other at a major men's tournament in 25 years. it really is a game which needs no introduction, and the atmosphere is going to build nicely for kick off here at 8pm tonight.— going to build nicely for kick off here at 8pm tonight. looking forward to it. thank here at 8pm tonight. looking forward to it- thank you _ here at 8pm tonight. looking forward to it. thank you very _ here at 8pm tonight. looking forward to it. thank you very much _ here at 8pm tonight. looking forward to it. thank you very much indeed i to it. thank you very much indeed for that. one match is underway this afternoon. we're into the second half of the group e game between slovakia and sweden, in st petersburg. the latest score i51—0 to sweden. it is live on bbc one. slovakia can make the last 16 with a win after they beat poland in their opening game. england's women have been dominant on day 3, of their one—off test against india. but the rain in

on the other hand, head coach steve clark has lived through all of that and he is in his 50s, do not he has also been credited with bringing a positivity to the squad and a winning mentality back to scotland and if you take a look at the players in scotland, they have temporarily players playing for them and two of them have champions league winners metals and they are here to compete and they feel they have a serious chance of getting out of the group for these european championships and if they were to do that, they'll be the first time they would've ever gotten out of the group at a major tournament and i spoke to kevin a little earlier today and if you remember, he scored his debut goalfor today and if you remember, he scored his debut goal for scotland in the first woman match against the netherlands. incidentally, he was one years old when they were against france in 1998. but he said there was a lot of positivity and the team but it had been bolstered byjohn because john fleck but it had been bolstered byjohn becausejohn fleck had tested positive for covid—19 and he along with

manager steve clarke says the team will still stand ahead of their other two group games at hampden parkmbley. clarke says the change was announced to show solidarity with their england counterparts, who were booed while taking the knee by part of the crowd in their two warm—up matches. and the first of the home nations to start their euros to start their euros campaign is wales, and you can watch their opening match against switzerland live on bbc one from quarter past one tomorrow. in their 58th and perhaps most compelling encounter, novak djokovic beat rafael nadal to reach the final of the french open, handing the 13—time champion only his third defeat at roland garros. the third set is already being described as one of the best in the sport's history — lasting more than an hour and a half and including extraordinary rallies between the two players that have 38 grand slam titles between them. it was won by the world number one... it was won by the world number one, and with the match about to go on beyond france's curfew of 11pm local time, authorities allowed the five thousand fans

was just a one—year—old when scotland was last at a major tournament but he believes head coach steve clarke helped dispel those years of negativity. yes, it's as if it's been completely wiped since the gaffer�*s come in. he's done a greatjob, he's got us playing some good football. i think we've got a great team. i think we've got some top players playing at the highest level. so i think get to the group stage and we will see what happens. for so long now, scotland men have had the reputation of being glorious in defeat. but, within this squad, there are ten premier league players, two of whom are holders of champions league winners medals perhaps this time fans can allow themselves to hope? i think that we can surprise people. i really do. i think we will qualify from the group. i'm an eternal optimist when it comes to scotland. but it is confidence. i believe in the group. i think we've got a lot of really good players, a good mix in the squad. it is home advantage for their opening match. hampden hosts monday's game against the czech republic where 12,000 tartan army fans will be the fir

that was steve clarke's came coming into the tournament, we have of course seen those scotland fans arrivingy more as we know packing in here tomorrow. we have the result of a dead marker out of euro 2020 losing 2-1 to dead marker out of euro 2020 losing 2—1 to belgium but once again fought very much with eriksen in that match, it was in the tenth minute of that game that the players and fans marked the dreadful events of saturday. huge support inside the park and stadium once again. we happened on saturday putting football and life in perspective. from myself and the team at wembley, good night. for many today has put a little fresh of sunshine still but across central and eastern parts of england in particular we have kept the humidity, a lot more and a few rumbles of thunderfrom humidity, a lot more and a few rumbles of thunder from the showers which again are going to plague central and eastern areas through this evening and overnight. just continuing to feed in the moisture from the south. so once again it really for many it will be far fresher. single figures in the glens of scotland b

after a draw against the netherlands, steve clarke's side arrived here confident and critical —— clinicaleir advantage. still, this will be their first major tournament for 20 years and they have a spring in their step. lewis hamilton threw away the chance to reclaim the formula one championship lead, after a dramatic end to the azerbaijan grand prix. his rival max verstappen was leading — until the red bull driver crashed late on. but hamilton made a mistake when the race restarted, locking up his tyres and running into the escape road, finishing 15th. there was relief for red bull though, as sergio perez won the race. england bowler 0llie robinson has been suspended from all international cricket, pending the outcome of a disciplinary investigation following historic tweets he posted. the news came after england drew the first test against new zealand at lords. the tourists declared on 169—6 to leave england chasing 273 to win after lunch. but the target was never seriously pursued, dom sibley�*s unbeaten 60 from 207 balls, helping to secure a draw. serena williams is out of the french
