Next Tuesday 11 October sees live coverage on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player as the Republic of Ireland travel to Glasgow to take on Scotland in the biggest game in the history of Irish women’s football. A win for Vera Pauw’s side could see them qualify directly for next year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand next summer or they may face inter-confederation play-offs in New Zealand in February.

RTÉ 2FM’s Game On, presented by Marie Crowe and Ruby Walsh, will have full live commentary from Adrian Eames and Alan Cawley in Glasgow while RTÉ.ie/Sport will have a match tracker plus all the reaction from Hampden Park.
