    Gallacher just doesn't get enough on it. It's a glancing header where she over-commits and steers it wide.

    That was the chance.

    Lee Gibson not shy in taking a risk as she jinks aside under immense pressure.

    Wouldn't want to risk an absolute howler on my 50th cap, personally. Braver than me.

    Was that the chance for Scotland?

    Amy Gallacher, on her home international debut, may have saw her name up in lights, but steers her header just wide of goal.

    A deflated sigh blows around Hampden.

    Now is when you need to dig deep. You need to press, you need to force Belgium into mistakes by putting them under pressure.

    Scotland need to find a way to lift this intensity and lift this game.

    Belgium just controlling this one now. They're confident and composed.

    Two changes now as Marie Detruyer and Tessa Wullaert head off, with Sarah Wijnants and Jame Teulings the replacements.

    The result from the Netherlands is making its way to Hampden. Any other time an England defeat reaches the national stadium, there's an almighty cheer. Not tonight.

    This game was always viewed a must-win, even more so now that everyone else in the group has at least a win.

    Time's running out and the Tartan Army know it.

    It's a dangerous one that causes goalkeeper Nicky Evrard to shift her feet, but ultimately, she's able to punch and Belgium clear.

    The visitors take off goalscorer Kassandra Missipo, who's replaced by Shari van Belle.

    Lauren Davidson fires from distance and wins a corner with a huge deflection.

    She'll take the corner...

    Corsie has a free header there and she just cannot get the angle right. You can tell by looking at her, she knows that was a chance.

    Rachel Corsie goes close with a header after a Lauren Davidson corner, but it drops agonisingly wide.

    She's on defensive duties too as Scotland get caught in the headlights and leave a two-on-one. It's a really poor pass to allow the captain to keep the hosts in the game.

    Kirsty Hanson trudges off.

    She ain't happen about her removal, and I can understand why.

    She receives a resounding round of applause as she makes her way to the dugout... deserved.

    Another double switch from Scotland.

    Pedro Martinez Losa looks to find the spark with the introduction of Amy Gallacher and Lisa Evans in place of Martha Thomas and Kirsty Hanson.

    Scotland nearly collapsing at the back.

    Sophie Howard plays a square ball right into the path of a lurking Marie Detruyer, who races forward and curls a shot just wide. Let off.

  14. 'Leaders must settle squad'published at 72 mins

    Gemma Fay

    We need the leaders of the squad to say: Let's focus on the game plan we've got and focus on ensuring that we do everything we have with the ball to the best of our ability.

    If you start chasing the game now, all you are going to do is open up space for Belgium to walk into. And that's what they're good at.

    I don't imagine many people reading this fancy seeing it again, but here's the moment Kassandra Missipo put Belgium ahead.

    She fair enjoyed it. Scotland must now respond.

    Right, Glasgow City's Lauren Davidson is on too. She got 28 league goals last season.

    Kirsty Hanson will swap sides to allow Davidson to drive down the right.

    And here comes Kirsty MacLean, along with the always threatening Lauren Davidson. Christy Grimshaw departs without her goal, alongside Claire Emslie.

    There's a double change for Belgium too. Feli Delacauw and Jassina Blom are off, with Janice Cayman and Welma Fon on.

    Assistant coach Leanne Ross is burnin' the lug of Kirsty Maclean.

    Also known around Auchenhowie, the Rangers training ground, as 'Wee Ini', after Andreas Iniesta.

    Could do with some of that magic right now.

    And just as Gemma says that, Scotland are almost punished from a loose ball again.

    Their lack of urgency allows Marie Detruyer to blast towards goal, but it sails over the bar.
