Scotland Take On Romania

Last updated : 09 June 2017 By ed_ScottishFitba
C:WindowsTempphp10D4.tmpScotland’s women continue to prepare for EURO2017 tonight when Romania head to the Falkirk Stadium to take on Anna Signeul’s team. Scotland's Women's national team have already played seven games this year to prepare for the tournament and after tonight's game will head to Sweden of a friendly on Tuesday.  Vaila Barsley (Eskilstuna United) could be in line to make her home debut after making her first Scotland appearance in April in Belgium.  Erin Cuthbert is also involved fresh from winning the WSL Spring Series with Chelsea in her first season at the club.

You can watch the game live on the Scotland National Team Facebook page and YouTube channel.  This will be the first women’s game streamed live by the ruling body following qualification for EURO2017 where Scotland have been drawn alongside England, Spain and Portugal.

The Falkirk Stadium game against Romania will kick-off at 7pm with Clyde Superscoreboard’s Gordon Duncan set to be joined by Scotland’s all-time record goal scorer Julie Fleeting who will be providing co-commentary.

National coach Anna Signeul said: "This is a really exciting time for the squad and this game will be a good test for them all. Romania were close to qualifying for EURO2017, losing out to Portugal.  A lot of their players play for the best team in their country, Olimpia Cluj, so they are almost like a club side.  Their manager also coaches Cluj so they are a tight knit group.  The upcoming games will be really interesting as the players are vying for a place in the starting 11. No-one’s place is secure and they need to perform in training sessions and games to be in the final 23 player squad for the Euros."
