Scotland will only arrive in the Netherlands for today’s final Women’s Nations League Group A game this morning after a technical issue prevented their charter flight leaving Edinburgh on Monday.

Melissa Andreatta’s side were due to travel to Eindhoven on Monday for the game in Tilburg, which kicks off at 19:30 BST and is live on BBC Scotland, the BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app.

However, they were forced to spend another evening in Edinburgh after a problem emerged on the flight bringing their plane to Scotland.

The Scottish FA say they invested “all efforts” into finding a replacement flight on Monday – after the charter company were unable to do so – but failed.

In a statement, they added they were “extremely disappointed”.

The association “acknowledged the impact it will have on preparations”, but insisted “the safety of all passengers is paramount”.

The Scots were relegated from Group A1 after Friday’s defeat by Austria in Andreatta’s first game in charge and close out the group against second-place the Netherlands.
