WITH six of the eight teams now confirmed for the Euro 2024 quarter-finals, today marks the last day of last 16 action.
There’s still two big ties to come before this stage is wrapped up, and that means more head-to-heads in our Euros charity sweepstake.
Here’s a look at today’s fixture.
Romania vs Netherlands
Hannah Bardell, the SNP’s candidate in Livingston, drew Romania in our sweep and will take on her party’s former Westminster leader Ian Blackford.
Bardell is playing for Crohn’s and Colitis UK while Blackford (below) is playing for the Skye-based charity Lucky2BeHere.
It’s been a good tournament so far for Romania, who came out on top in a tight group featuring Belgium, Ukraine and Slovakia.
They got off to a perfect start with a 3-0 win over Ukraine before a 2-0 loss to Belgium and a 0-0 draw with Slovakia.
The Netherlands meanwhile have yet to really get going, and progressed as one of the best third-placed finishers during the group stage.
They had to come from behind to pick up a 2-1 win over Poland in their opener before playing out a fairly dull 0-0 with France.
Things went from bad to worse however when they suffered a chaotic 3-2 loss to Austria.
The Dutch might still be the favourites on paper but most of these games have proved pretty tight so far, so it’s set to be an exciting game.
Austria vs Türkiye
National columnist Ruth Wishart will be particularly pleased with how things have gone for her side so far.
Playing for Médecins Sans Frontières, she drew an Austria side which topped a group featuring France, the Netherlands and Poland.
Austria impressed despite opening with a 1-0 loss to France, before successive 3-1 and 3-2 wins over Poland and the Netherlands respectively.
Scots singer Iona Fyfe (above) will be hoping Türkiye can progress to the last eight after a couple of good wins in the group stages.
They finished second and tied on points with Portugal in a group stage which featured a 3-1 win over Georgia, a 3-0 loss to Portugal and a 2-1 win over the Czech Republic.
She is playing for the Glasgow-based charity Refuweegee.
