Round-robin leaders Scotland maintained their 100% record in the women's event at the European Curling Championships by beating Germany.

Eve Muirhead's rink won 8-6 in Glasgow to make it six wins from six at the Braehead Arena.

However, Tuesday was a bad day for the Scottish men, who suffered defeats to Finland and Germany.

The Finns edged the morning session 6-5 to pick up their first win of the contest, while Germany triumphed 4-2.

It leaves Tom Brewster's rink in a tie for fifth place on three victories and four defeats, with defending champions Sweden the only team already guaranteed a place in the semi-finals after six wins - their sole defeat coming against the Scots.
