It was emotional seeing the girls singing the national anthem. This is the opening game, a lot of prep has gone into this and all the pressure is on England, they are expected to win.

Now England win an early corner of their own, as Jordan Nobbs' effort is deflected wide.

From the corner, captain Steph Houghton heads over the bar.

It's been a decent start from both sides.

Scotland straight away have a shot on goal, as Manchester City's Jane Ross has a go from range, and it's awkward for keeper Karen Bardsley.

She tips it over for an early corner, which England clear.

And Scotland get us under way!

Both sides gather for one last pre-match huddle.

England are in their traditional white kit.

Scotland are in their changed pink shirts.

England: Bardsley, Bronze, Bright, Houghton, Stokes; Scott, Moore; Nobbs, Kirby, White; Taylor.

Scotland: Fay, Brown, Dieke, Barsley, Arthur, Corsie, Evans, Crichton, Weir, Brown, J Ross.

Now the England players - also all singing proudly - enjoy God Save the Queen.

The waiting is nearly over - kick-off is up next.

The Scottish players - all singing, arm in arm - lead a rendition of Flower of Scotland.

This is without date the biggest night in Scottish Women's football history, make no mistake.

The players emerge down the tunnel in Utrecht and kick-off is about five minutes away.

Captains Steph Houghton and Gemma Fay lead out their respective sides.

Not sure, but I think we might have a Scottish DJ in the house. Deacon Blue, the Proclaimers, and, as the players walk off the pitch, now we have Simple Minds. I'm in 80s wonderland!

I'm sure Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who's at the game, will be suitably impressed too.

Monday's Group B action saw the reigning champions Germany held to a goalless draw by Sweden, in what had been one of the most eagerly anticipated games of the group stage.

The Germans have won the Women's Euros a staggering six times in a row, stretching back to 1995.

In Monday's teatime game, Italy were stunned by Russia, who won 2-1 in Rotterdam.

Young England and Scotland fans have been having their say on tonight's game to Newsround.

This tournament began on Sunday with the hosts, the Netherlands, impressing in an entertaining 1-0 win over 2013 finalists Norway.

Liverpool's Shanice van de Sanden headed in the winner in front of 21,732 Oranje fans in Utrecht.

The other game in Group A saw Denmark overcome Belgium 1-0.

Meanwhile, the Scotland team have received backing from a Member of Parliament in an unusual way!

SNP MP Hannah Bardell wore the national team's top in the House of Commons during Scottish Questions and Prime Minister's Questions earlier.

England Women legends Kelly Smith and Rachel Yankey have been among those to wish the Lionesses good luck on social media today.

Misfortune struck the Scots during their preparations for their first ever major tournament finals, with the loss of some of their best players through injury.

Arsenal Ladies playmaker Kim Little - arguably one of Scotland Women's finest ever players - is among the absentees, as is commanding Manchester City Women centre-back Jen Beattie.

Scotland boss Anna Signeul has described Little's injury as upsetting.

The movement of Jodie Taylor up front is among the best in women's world football. She will drag the Scotland defence out of position and Fran Kirby can exploit that in dangerous positions.

Ellen White will be the out ball for England forwards, much like Mario Mandzukic was for Juventus last season.

There has been another game in the Euros taking place today, and it's been in the same Group as England and Scotland.

Spain have begun their Women's Euro 2017 campaign with a comfortable victory over Portugal.

When the players took to the field for their warm-ups with less than 40 minutes until kick-off, there was a very empty feeling in the stadium. It will no doubt fill, but there are suggestions only 5,000 tickets have been sold for a stadium which holds over 23,000.

Both stands behind the goals are closed for the evening.

Fans of England and Scotland in Utrecht have been giving us their views, looking ahead to this match.
