    HT: Serbia 0-0 Scotland

    Scotland also winning on the kit front - the Serbs' all red strip isn't a patch on that lilac number.

    Need to start winning on the pitch though...

    Serbia will be the happier of the two sides. They are up against a Scotland side who have been to major tournaments.

    But the reality is that the quality of both sides across the board has not been good enough to win the game.

    Pedro Martinez Losa will be in among his players and might look to inject some pace and you could see someone like Fiona Brown coming on.

  3. HALF-TIME Serbia 0-0 Scotlandpublished at 17:54 British Summer Time 5 April

    An underwhelming first-half display in Serbia by Scotland - maybe lucky to not be a goal down but still all to play for in the second half.

    There was nothing in that and you can't complain about the yellow card.

    For Claire Emslie, she has a red face.

    Serbia 0-0 Scotland

    Scotland race up the other end where Claire Emslie goes down in the box, she does seem to take a bit of a nick from the Serbia defender, but the referee brandishes a yellow at the Scotland winger.

  6. 'Scots not making most of Cuthbert'published at 17:49 British Summer Time 5 April

    Serbia 0-0 Scotland

    Leanne Crichton
    Former Scotland international on BBC Scotland

    Erin Cuthbert is being asked to build from the back, but she is the player you want in the opposition half and Scotland, not just in this game, don't make the best of Erin Cuthbert.

    It is all a bit laboured in my opinion.

    Serbia 0-0 Scotland

    Lauren Davidson gives away a free-kick just inside the Scotland half.

    Emilijia Petrovic floats it into the box but Sophie Howard is there to head clear.

    Serbia 0-0 Scotland

    Five minutes added on at the end of the first half. Looks like it could be a bit more as Milica Mijatovic is down getting some treatment.

  9. Scots 'off the hook'published at 17:45 British Summer Time 5 April

    Serbia 0-0 Scotland

    Leanne Crichton

    It's a brilliant deliver and Lee Gibson gets it all wrong.

    Scotland defended it well - a bit physical - and they got off the hook with that one.

  10. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 17:45 British Summer Time 5 April

    Serbia 0-0 Scotland

    Another corner for Serbia as half-time approaches.

    Lee Gibson completely misses the ball, but luckily for the goalkeeper, Violeta Slovic can't get on to the end of it at the back post.

    She's challenged by Rachel Corsie, who looked to have had a cheeky wee tug on the defender's jersey - no VAR though and the ref didn't see it.

  11. Postpublished at 17:40 British Summer Time 5 April

    Serbia 0-0 Scotland

    Jovana Damnjanovic is through once again, but Sophie Howard does really well to defend.

    Serbia win the corner, but it's headed away comfortably.

    From where I’m perched, Erin Cuthbert really should’ve put her laces through that chance on the edge of the box.

    Big chance for Serbia. Big chance gone as well.

    Scotland switch off, but Lee Gibson is in a good position to recover it.

  15. Postpublished at 17:35 British Summer Time 5 April

    Serbia 0-0 Scotland

    Lee Gibson called into action once again to get down and save a close-range headed effort.

    Still 10 minutes to go of this first half.

  16. 'A bit dodgy for Gibson'published at 17:34 British Summer Time 5 April

    Serbia 0-0 Scotland

    Leanne Crichton
    Former Scotland international on BBC Scotland

    Tricky to see. It certainly looked a bit dodgy. Lee Gibson was close to her goal-line.

    But every bit of the ball has to go over the line.

  17. Postpublished at 17:33 British Summer Time 5 April

    Serbia 0-0 Scotland

    Lisa Evans is through again and this time the pass is good, she floats a lovely ball into the box, but there's no one to get on the end of it.

    Serbia race up the other end and Lee Gibson is called into action in an effort to catch Tijana Filipovic's cross, but she drops the ball on the line before catching.

    The Serbs are screaming for a goal, but the referee is having none of it.

  18. Postpublished at 17:30 British Summer Time 5 April

    Serbia 0-0 Scotland

    Lisa Evans is played through again, this time she looks onside, but there's just too much on the pass and the ball bobbles out for a goal kick.

  19. Scots giving Serbia too much respect?published at 17:29 British Summer Time 5 April

    Leanne Crichton

    If you are Scotland and you look at Serbia, their strength is up front with Jovana Damnjanović.

    So you want to get into the Serbian half as much as possible, because defensively they don't look that good.

    Sometimes Scotland give their opponents too much respect.

  20. CLOSE!published at 17:25 British Summer Time 5 April

    Serbia 0-0 Scotland

    Erin Cuthbert shells one for Lisa Evans, but the flag goes up straight away.

    Scotland go again though and Cuthbert has a dig from the edge of the box and Milica Kostic has to get low to save and puts it out for a corner.

    Sophie Howard is in at the back post and heads it goalwards, but it's a comfortable catch for the Serbia goalkeeper.
