  1. Congratulations & commiserations

    FT: Scotland 0-1 Republic

    Well, that's it from us and, sadly, Scotland.

    It was to be the Republic of Ireland's night, and over the course, they thoroughly deserve it. History made as they now look forward to their women's team's first major finals, and a poignant moment for the match-winner Amber Barrett.

    For Scotland? Well, that's now this year's Euros and the World Cup which have passed them by. There will be more to come from this Scotland group, put the pain for this one will linger for some time.

    Thanks for sticking with us tonight.

  5. 'Disappointed for the whole nation'

    FT: Scotland 0-1 Republic of Ireland

    Scotland boss Pedro Martinez Losa tells BBC Alba: "I'm very disappointed - for the girls, and for the whole nation. It was an incredible opportunity.

    "I think the game was hard on us, but those things happen in life and in football. In apologise to the fans. We wanted to qualify for the World Cup so badly.

    "We missed little details. We didn't score the penalty, and after that, I'm not sure how many opportunities the opposition had to score. The game plan was executed well. It was one action at one side of the box and another at the one side of the box that decided the game.

    "The hard work of the players has been amazing - I couldn't ask for any more. We'll stick together, come back together, and hopefully we have another opportunity soon."

  7. 'We were ready for everything'

    FT: Scotland 0-1 Republic of Ireland

    Speaking to RTE, Republic of Ireland manager Vera Pauw said: "I can't believe it. I just can't believe it. How is this possible?

    "Amber's first touch made the game. Preparation is everything. The saved penalty by Courtney was not luck. We knew where it was going. We trained for everything and we were ready for every scenario."

    It's a tough one to take, especially when you look at the reaction of the Scotland players out there. Tonight is Ireland's night. For Scotland, it's bitterly disappointing.

  10. 'I can't express how happy I am'

    FT: Scotland 0-1 Republic of Ireland

    Stephanie Roche
    Republic of Ireland striker on RTE

    I'm so happy for everyone on the pitch, but also the people who have come before them. So many people have put the work in over the years. I can't express in words how happy I am right now.

  11. Scotland dejected

    FT: Scotland 0-1 Republic of Ireland

    Scotland's players look stunned. There are tears from some, while others look on in disbelief as they group together in the middle of the park.

    Their big players didn't do enough tonight, and that will frustrate Pedro Martinez Losa.

  12. FULL-TIME

    Scotland 0-1 Republic of Ireland

    The Republic of Ireland are going to the Women's World Cup.

    For Scotland, it's agonising but, over the piece, the Irish thoroughly deserve it.

  13. Courtney Brosnan gathers the ball. Surely that's it?

  14. Seconds left...

  15. The corner is cleared, as is the next five balls Scotland try to lob in.

    Time is ebbing away and the Irish are holding firm. Little over a minute left now.

  16. Republic of Ireland are camped in their own box.

    Two minutes remain as Scotland get a corner...

  17. 'Lack of urgency from Scotland'

    Scotland 0-1 Republic of Ireland

    Leanne Crichton
    Ex-Scotland international on BBC Alba

    Even at this stage of the game, Scotland are lacking urgency. I'd be thinking about getting Jen Beattie up there for some extra height. They need to start playing like there's only a few minutes left.

  18. Sooooooooooo frustrating.

    Scotland pop the ball about in the Ireland half, before then pinging a wide pass straight out of play.

    Three minutes to go.

  19. Here come Scotland...

  20. All eyes fall on the big board.

    Six minutes is the answer.
