First time Ireland's women's team would qualify for the games

SOCCER

The Republic of Ireland women's team face the biggest game of their lives tonight.

They face Scotland in a World Cup play off at Hampden Park from 8pm, knowing that a win could clinch a place at the finals in Australia and New Zealand next summer.

The other play offs see Portugal face Iceland and Switzerland take on Wales.

Both of those games kick-off at 6pm.

If either Iceland or Switzerland lose, the Girls in Green will qualify automatically with a victory in Glasgow.

The Republic of Ireland have never qualified for a women's World Cup before.
