Neville fired up for Scots

-

England boss Phil neville is relishing the clash against Scotland after the two sides were drawn together in group d for the Women’s World Cup in France next summer. ‘It’s a fine looking group,’ said neville. ‘We’ve got three teams who will compete against each other in a fabulous way. I think the Scotland game will get the most interest — and rightly so — because of the rivalry, which I think is something we all should enjoy and embrace. It shows how far the women’s game has come.’ The clash will be the first match for both teams in nice on June 9. The last time the two sides met England won 6-0 with Jodie Taylor scoring a hat-trick. Scotland defender Jen Beattie said: ‘I think it just probably adds to the excitement even more now that we know who’s in our group. England again in the opening game of the tournament.’
