It's all over and Scotland's women have secured an impressive win and made the perfect start to their Euro 2017 qualifying campaign. Good work ladies.

Salford owner Marwan Koukash has confirmed that big-money buys Rangi Chase and Harrison Hansen will be allowed to leave the club as free agents.

Koukash has also revealed Australian forward Cory Paterson will go as part of a major shake-up, as director of rugby Tim Sheens prepares to rebuild the squad following their brush with relegation.

With the club's Super League future assured following Sunday's Super 8s win at Widnes, Sheens is expected to announce the first of up to eight new signings in the next 48 hours.

Scotland are in such a commanding position they can afford to ring the changes.

They've made the maximum three substitutions - Caroline Weir, Lizzie Arnot and Leanne Ross all coming on - and are still cruising.

Only a few minutes remaining. 3-0 up thanks to Kim Little's hat-trick, no alarms. Looks like they've got this one well and truly in the bag.

Scotland's head coach Vern Cotter has admitted he "didn't get much sleep" after watching tomorrow's opponents Japan shock South Africa.

"It gave us an additional focus because they didn't just compete - they won," said Cotter.

"As coaches we didn't get much sleep after the game and we expect Japan to be just as ferocious, just as driven and well-organised against us."

Scotland have won all four of their previous meetings with Japan, the most recent clash ending 42-17 at Murrayfield in November 2013.

Tomorrow's Scotland-Japan clash starts at 14:30 BST with commentary on BBC Radio 5 live and sports extra, plus live text commentary on the BBC Sport website.

Ever wondered what footballers eat a few hours before kick-off to make sure they have enough energy to give their all for 90 minutes?

Seems Kidderminster Harriers - who are bottom of the National League - have been fuelling up ahead of their game away at Bromley tonight.

Nice stat from Italy...

Thank goodness for that. We didn't jinx things.

On the contrary, Scotland are going from strength to strength in Slovenia, now 3-0 ahead, and it's Kim Little again. That's her hat-trick and her 44th goal in international football.

Michel Platini will earn a fair few air miles over the coming months.

His campaign for the FIFA presidency kick offs in earnest with a global tour that will see him visit five out of the six continents before Christmas.

The 60-year-old Frenchman plans to visit the USA, Thailand, Japan, Myanmar and New Zealand as well as the Asian football awards in New Delhi and a meeting of African football's leaders in Cairo. He will also have visits within Europe.

His rivals to succeed outgoing president Sepp Blatter are Chung Mong-Joon of Korea and Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein of Jordan.

It is that woman Kim Little again, making it 2-0 and giving Scotland a nice bit of breathing space.

Victory in the first game of their Euro 2017 qualifying campaign is, at the risk of tempting fate, now looking pretty assured.

I sincerely hope we don't regret typing that...

Asked if Mahrez would stay at Leicester until the end of the season, his agent Bengougam added: “I don't know the future but I think the club needs him.

"This year the TV rights deal kicks in and all the teams are desperate to stay in the Premier League. If I was in their position I wouldn't sell him.

"It's now a year and a half that he's there and he's very happy. Now, if in January there's a possibility we'll see, but today it's not something to be thinking about.

"We're not in a transfer window period so there's no need to talk about a transfer at the moment."

Riyad Mahrez’s agent has told BBC World Service that there’s been no “concrete interest” in the Premier League’s joint top scorer.

There have been newspaper reports in Spain linking the Leicester forward with a possible move to Barcelona.

But Kamel Bengougam says he thinks Mahrez will stay with the Foxes until at least the end of the season.

"The day that a club - from their own mouth - says we want Riyad Mahrez, that will be concrete interest," he said. "At the moment it's just the media talking about certain things season."

It's half-time in Slovenia and Scotland will enjoy their cup of tea back in the dressing room. That's if they have cups of tea. They probably don't, it's most likely all energy-drinks and vitamin tablets now. Anyway we digress...

The point is they will be in good spirits, still 1-0 ahead thanks to Kim Little's 42nd international goal and looking in good shape to earn maximum points.

BBC Radio Nottingham's Dave Bracegirdle at Trent Bridge: "Billy Root made an attractive 37 on his county debut for Nottinghamshire. 

"The left-handed younger brother of Yorkshire and England’s Joe Root appeared unfazed by the pressure of the situation and was quick to punish any width as he struck six boundaries in his 74-minute innings.

"He helped add 82 for the fifth wicket with Riki Wessels before a thickish edge off Gareth Berg was taken at first slip, after rebounding out of the hands of James Vince."
