Scotland arrive in Netherlands eight hours before game after plane problem

Women’s Nations League: Scotland vs. Netherlands

Kick-off time: Tuesday, 3 June, 1:10 p.m. BST

After a technical issue prevented their charter flight from leaving Edinburgh on Monday, Scotland arrived in the Netherlands just eight hours before their final Women’s Nations League Group A game.

The game in Tilburg, which starts at 19:30 BST and is streamed on BBC Scotland, BBC iPlayer, and BBC Sport’s website and app, was scheduled for Eindhoven on Monday.

After a problem on the flight brought their plane to Scotland, they were forced to spend another evening in Edinburgh.

On Tuesday, they made an early arrival in the Netherlands, just before 11:30 BST.

The charter company was unable to find a replacement flight on Monday, but the Scottish FA claim they made an effort to find one but failed.

They added that they were “extremely disappointed” in a statement.

The association acknowledged the impact it would have on preparations but argued that “the safety of all passengers is important.”
