Women's Nations League Group A1 - Scotland v Austria
Venue: Hampden Park, Glasgow Date: Friday, 30 May Kick-off: 19:35 BST

Bayern Munich midfielder Sam Kerr has dropped out of the Scotland squad for the Women's Nations League matches against Austria and the Netherlands, with Kirsty Smith and uncapped Mia McAulay drafted in.
Full-back Smith, who has been released by West Ham United, had originally been dropped from the squad - the first to be named by new national head coach Melissa Andreatta - but the 31-year-old will now have the chance to add to her 62 caps.
McAulay is fresh from a starring role in Rangers' Scottish Cup final 3-0 victory over Glasgow City, the 18-year-old forward scoring the opening goal at Hampden Park on Sunday.
Scotland entertain Austria at the same venue on Friday needing a two-goal victory to retain a chance of avoiding relegation from League A - a match being shown live on BBC Alba.
Andreatta will then take her side to Tilburg next Tuesday to face the Dutch, with that game being live on the BBC Scotland TV channel.
Scotland captain Rachel Corsie will make her international exit over the two games, the 35-year-old centre-half with 154 caps having decided to retire after nearly a year's absence through a knee injury that has left her with "chronic pain" and having been released by Aston Villa.
