  1. 'Good performance from Scots'published at 20:34 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2023

    HT: Scotland 0-0 Netherlands

    Former Scotland international on BBC Scotland

    It has been a good, collective team performance from Scotland this half. Really good organisationally across the pitch - working hard. They have managed to pressure really well.

  2. HALF-TIME Scotland 0-0 Netherlandspublished at 20:31 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2023

    That'll be a no then.

    Scotland were 2-0 down at this stage on Friday night. It may have been a bit boring, but the improvement is there to be seen.

    A bit more quality in the second period, please.

    Into added time here. Will we see a goal before the break?

    These are good moments for Scotland. Just to gain some territory and hopeful create a chance before half-time.

    Netherlands look to break, but they're stopped in their tracks by a ferocious Erin Cuthbert.

    That kind of bite and energy simply wasn't there on Friday. What a boost to have a player of her quality back.

  6. 'MacIver impressing'published at 35 mins

    Sandy MacIver's been confident and assured in everything she's done. The first 35 minutes of her Scotland career have been impressive.

  7. Dutch lose Martenspublished at 33 mins

    Scotland 0-0 Netherlands

    The Netherlands are forced into a change as Lieke Martens can't continue after the clattering challenge from Fiona Brown.

    She was the only player lighting things up on a drab night in Glasgow. Damaris Egurola is the replacement.

    Spitse catches it really well. Really tricky. Shows the ability she's got.

  9. CLOSE!published at 31 mins

    Netherlands 0-0 Scotland

    Sandy MacIver called into the first action of her Scotland career.

    Sherida Spitse tries to catch the goalkeeper out as she goes for goal, but MacIver tips it on to the bar, much to Scotland relief.

    The Dutch have a free-kick right on the box after a clumsy Fiona Brown challenge on Lieke Martens. Eeek.

  11. 'Blue hands at Hampden'published at 28 mins

    Aye, for Scotland and Pedro a quiet opening 25 minutes or so may go down well, but for us in the stands, it means we don't really have anything to distract us from this bitterly cold evening at Hampden.

    That killer wind is turning my hands blue already. And that's not even my Halloween costume.

    There's another warning shot. Bit too frequent for my liking.

    Lieke Martens is involved again as she ghosts down the right and hooks one in. The delivery is met by Jill Roord, who powers one just wide.

    And there's a wee warning shot from Lieke Martens.

    The PSG forward lines one up from the edge of the box and forces Sandy MacIver into a stretch, but the effort zips over the bar.

  14. 'Scots need someone to hold up ball'published at 25 mins

    Former Scotland international on BBC Scotland Sportsound

    The slight problem with having Claire Emslie and Kirsty Hanson up front is that neither like to play with their back to goal. Both like to be direct, but against teams like the Dutch, you sometimes need someone to hold it up.

    All quiet here. Considering the battering Scotland got on Friday, maybe we should be grateful?

    It does come off Dijkstra's elbow. Worth the claim if you have VAR.

    Handball shout and Fiona Brown's desperate for it.

    Her cross fizzes towards Caitlin Dijkstra, but the referee isn't interested.

    Scotland keep getting themselves up the park and then taking an age to make their mind up on what to do with the ball.

    Indecision could be costly.

    Here, I wasn't joking about that crowd.

    The Hampden roar in full voice again as Kirsty MacLean releases Kirsty Hanson, who is typically direct and charges forward. It's a wayward effort in the end.

    Big roar from the crowd as Fiona Brown bursts down the left.

    She's cautious and ends up turning backwards, but that was some noise from the home fans. They're still backing Scotland despite their recent stumbles.
