would send them through as well. they're second in their group on seven points, while limassol are bottom. they don't kick off until 8pm, lewis irons is at ibrox with more details. good evening from ibrox where rangers are set to hose their opponent from cyprus, knowing that three points will see them progress, for the visitors they know they need three points to stay in the competition. they

pitch for the final time before heading down to wembley. all 23 players trained ahead of this vital couple of games with olympic qualification currently hanging in the balance and out of their own hands. the lionesses are third in their women's nations league group with two games still to play. they need to beat the dutch at wembley tomorrow, win away at scotland on tuesday and hope other results go their way as well. if they'd finished top of the group and give team gb any hope of qualifying for next summer's olympic games in paris. now only three european sides are given spots and one of those has already gone to the host, france, which means competition is very high. but england boss sarina weigman england know exactly what they need to do over this next couple of games. if

their usual captain, millie bright, who's withdrawn from the squad with a knee injury. so it'll be goalkeeper mary earps, who wears the captain's armband tomorrow. now, a crowd of 75,000 is expected, and england will be hoping that massive home support can help push them on to what could be a huge win. let's look at the table — england in third place behind the netherlands and belgium. they're on six points, while the netherlands are on nine. scotland are england's next game. they play on tuesday at hampden. scotland bottom of the table with just one point. if we look at group three, wales

following the world cup in qatar. that's according to one of the tournament's critics, lise klaveness, president of the norwegian football federation. klaveness was vocal about the issues a year ago when the world cup was taking place and has been speaking to the bbc from doha after returning to qatar to see if progress has been made. we think fifa has a bigger responsibility now to deliver on the legacy they said they would, and we expect they will lean into these issues, when they are supposed to deliver airport which they said they would deliver, which would come at the end of the year. and hopefully that report leans into these issues going ahead. let's take a quick look at some of the other sports news stories making the headlines. assure the border nathan lahn has signed ——

family's mental well—being". he will though continue to play club rugby. mccall says just like england head coach steve borthwick, he's fully behind farrell's decision to step away. social media we have zero control over. but for me this began in the mainstream media, and the narrative that was created around owen from everybody, and taking up from everybody. that is what happened, i think everybody will, somewhere in their heads, agree with him, and then there was a pile on on social media, but it was created on the mainstream media, but there is some in the industry that need to look
