no gareth bale obviously the wales.lic of ireland, shane long is suffering from a hip injury. martin 0'neill does have a couple of players back at his disposal. they missed previous matches through suspension. she absence is the both teams. but it boils down to what happens over the 90 minutes tonight, it should be some occasion. kick—off is at 7:45pm. thank you. the future of the scotla nd 7:45pm. thank you. the future of the scotland manager gordon strachan will be discussed by the scottish fa in the coming days following their failure to reach the world cup play—offs. 2—2 in slovenia means they finish behind slovakia on goal difference. he surprisingly said that the small stature of his side was behind the exit. genetically we are behind, we are the second smallest apart from spain. that means that we need to pick a team to combat height and strength. even that, . .. combat height and strength. even that,... but genetically we need to work on things. it is a problem for us. we have to fight harder for every ball, and

wales and ireland separated by the narrowest of channels.ween them at a match between them still to go. this time the dragon had to win. without gareth bale this was a test of wales the collective. they created plenty in the first half without getting a goal which would settle the butterflies and with every passing minute it grew more edgy. but in the key moments of this qualifying campaign, new welsh heroes have emerged. tom lawrence of derby county had never before scored for his country. qualifying is all about timing. in dublin not even two minutes were on the clock when stephen ward went hurling. in better with a crucial touch was daryl murphy. the striker in a hot streak this season. it took him until his 24th game to score for ireland but he proved he got the hang of it. effectively all over for moldova. against the team ranked 156th, goals would surely be on offer. in cardiff on monday everything will matter. there will be some atmosphere i'm sure about going home now in a final game with all to play for. that's what we wanted to do.

their meeting with wales in them. their meeting with wales in the last round of the group matches. for second place. but the republic play moldova first on friday. meanwhile republic of ireland are without aaron hughes was travelling without aaron hughes was travelling with a calf injury. they're guaranteed to finish second in group c. and look certain to qualify for the tournament next year. they will have a tough test in germany at home on thursday. they have won all the qualifying matches. england will go through as group f winners if they beat slovenia on thursday at wembley. manchester city'sjohn stones says another spurs player — harry kane — has all the right qualities. there are a lot of experienced players and a lot of candidates who could be captain. that is almost a bigger message to everyone, that there's not one kind england captain that we can all put a finger on. so many leaders out there. players that are trying to become those leaders. be present and keep learning into those kind of roles i suppose. and you know harry is definitely one of those candidates. scotland

fairly solid cloud across england and wales.injust a second. but really you can already see the contrast — scotland and northern england looking much clearer. northern ireland likely to see some sunshine in shelter from the westerly or south—westerly wind. some showers arriving for the morning, as well, one or two of them heavy during the rush hour. still strong winds and some hefty showers for the northern isles. the showers as we get onto the mainland of scotland a little bit more scattered. some heavy ones possible through the central lowlands. here at least, in between the showers, some decent sunshine. sunshine across northern england first thing, too. although look out for some rain in the northern bay area, stretching towards lincolnshire. some glimmers of sunshine for the midlands and perhaps the south—east of england. thicker cloud, however, across the south—west, and some more persistent, if not particularly heavy, outbreaks of rain here. stretch those across the bristol channel into southern wales, as well. to the lee

, so important to us as bale is to wales, so that's life.essarily you but the players a lift? i've not really disgusted with them. as i said, it's part of the game, we are missing seamus coleman and he is as big a loss to us as bale is to wales and we have another game on friday night so if you want to discuss the wales game you are talking to the wrong guy. chelsea striker alvaro morata has returned to london to begin treatment on the hamstring injury that has ruled him out of spain's forthcoming world cup qualifiers. it's been reported in spain that morata could be out for between four and six weeks with the injury he picked up against manchester city on saturday. chelsea won't know the extent of the injury for certain until tests on the striker have been carried out later this week. england's kyle sinckler will miss the november internationals against both argentina and australia after receiving a seven—week ban for an eye offence. the harlequins prop had been accused of eye gouging during the weekend's premiership games. following tonigh

very big night for wales...ctory for wales would guarantee a play—off place and it could see them top the group and qualify automatically if their rivals serbia slip—up in their match. that would be dreamland for these wales fans. a draw might be enough for a play—off place but they would need all the results to go their way. a defeat and their world cup hopes would be over. the republic of ireland know that if they win tonight they are guaranteed a play—off place so it is really up for grabs. wales haven‘t qualified for grabs. wales haven‘t qualified for the world cup finals since way backin for the world cup finals since way back in 1958. tonight they will be without their star player gareth bale who‘s injured, but of course they will have the vast majority of they will have the vast majority of the 30,000 fans on their side and they will be hoping that 60 year weight might soon be over. —— 60 year wait. if you have any old pound coins, now is the time to spend them. from next monday, the old pound will no lon
