The Republic of Ireland senior women's team will take on Scotland in round two of the World Cup playoffs.

Scotland overcame Austria 1-0 on home soil on Thursday to set up the Irish date. 

The Girls in Green travel to Glasgow next week to play the Scots at Hampden Park on Tuesday, October 11 (KO - 8pm).

Vera Pauw's outfit could potentially qualify for next year's World Cup in New Zealand and Australia if they win the one-off fixture, depending on how the other playoff results go.

After discovering their opponents, Pauw said: "We need to play our best game ever... nothing has changed with that.

"We are going to give our all. We are going to prepare the best way and we will see if that is good enough."
