Wiegman says Scotland will not 'give away' game vs England

England boss Sarina Wiegman has stressed there is "no way" Scotland are going to "give away" the game when the sides meet at Hampden Park tomorrow in their final Nations League group fixture.

The second-placed Lionesses may need a high-scoring win against the already-relegated Scots to claim top spot in the group — the finish required to keep Wiegman's team in contention to secure Olympic qualification for Great Britain.

With English success on that front the only way Scottish players will be able to play at the Games, Andries Jonker, head coach of group leaders the Netherlands, described the situation as "strange" after England's 3-2 win over the Dutch at Wembley last Friday.

Wiegman said: "I understand the conversations about it.

"But if you have seen our group, seen Scotland and know the history of Scotland and England, then there's no way that they are going to give away this game. They really want to beat England and we want to beat them, of course.

"There's such a rivalry that that is absolutely not going to be the case. We saw it when we played in England [a 2-1 win for England in September].

"I don't have the solution. This is the first time we've played the Nations League, and how are you going to solve this situation? 

"Maybe you don't want them in the same group, but then if Scotland topped another group, we topped one and we went into the finals, you'd have the same situation.

"It's just about fair play, about football, and in football everyone wants to win, and we know the rivalry.

"We have professional players here who really want to show up — England players and Scottish players. I think it's going to be a good game where everyone wants to perform at their highest level."
