  4. Tie not over yet - Crichtonpublished at 17:18 British Summer Time 18 October 2023

    Brann v Glasgow City (18:00)

    Former Scotland midfielder Leanne Crichton has not given up hope of her former team producing what would be a stunning comeback in Bergen.

    "Anything is possible," she told BBC Scotland. "In big games, if you don't turn up and get things right, it's fine margins. City were found wanting for huge periods of the first half.

    "But they threatened in the second half and should have scored, because there were a couple of really good chances that would have got them right back in the tie.

    "It only takes an early goal. One or two goals in the first half and it's certainly going to be all to play for.

    "Maybe I'm just an optimistic former Glasgow City player who will take her orange and black glasses off after the game, but they've been there before and the tie is not over."
