Certainly not shorts and t-shirt weather in Glasgow I can assure you...

The officials have just done their warm up, now, I’m no runner, but my goodness, if they was them going through their paces, I fear they’ll only last 20 minutes.
My kinda training, that. Minimal.

Scots hoping for better this time
Serbia v Scotland (17:00)
Scotland needed a last-minute Lana Clelland goal to escape with that 1-1 draw in 2013 - the only previous time they have faced Serbia.
That came in Stara Pazova when Scotland had Anna Signeul in charge.
Much has happened since then and Scotland are currently ranked 11 places above today's hosts in 24th place in the world.

Even stevens
Serbia v Scotland (17:00)
Pedro Martinez Losa has been having a pretty tough time of late. His side haven't won a competitive game since October 2022 (an extra-time victory over Austria at Hampden) making it seven games without a win.
Serbia haven't been racking up the wins, but their record is slightly better. They've got one win in their last five games but are currently on a three game winless run.
It's been over 10 years since Serbia and Scotland last faced off - an international friendly back in August 2013 that ended in a 1-1 draw.
Tough one to call this evening.

Pedro Martinez Losa never fails to surprise us.
I thought it was a shoe-in that Jane Ross would lead the line tonight with Martha Thomas out injured. What do I know.
I also make this a first competitive start for Lauren Davidson. The Glasgow City goal-machine has bided her time, let’s see if she grabs her chance tonight.
And after over a year since her last cap, Kirsty Smith finally hits the half century. Scenes.

Triple change for Martinez Losa
Serbia v Scotland (17:00)
Pedro Martinez Losa makes three changes from the side that lost to Finland on penalties in the Pinatar Cup final back in February.
Rachel Corsie is in from the start, while Lauren Davidson and Kirsty Smith join the starting line-up, the latter grabbing her 50th cap for the Scots.
Martha Thomas and Kirsty Hanson are both out the squad, while Jenna Clark makes the bench.
Sarah Ewens, who is in search of her first senior cap, is also on the bench.
In order to qualify for the next stage in qualifying, which is a play-off round, Scotland have to finish in the top three of their group (Serbia, Slovakia and Israel make up the group).
Pedro Martinez Losa's side are currently in League B after being relegated from League A in their recent Nations League campaign.
The four winners of the groups from League B and the two highest runners-up are drawn against the two remaining runners-up and the four third-placed teams. Still with me?
The winners from these games then progress to a play-off final where the third and fourth places teams from the league above (League A) as well as the five group winners and three runners-up from League C join the draw.
The seven winners from those remaining games will progress to the competition in Switzerland.
Easy, right?
Welcome!

Before we grab the team news, let me run you through how we can get to the tournament in Switzerland, because it's really confusing.
