Scotland draw Czech Republic in round one of World Cup play-offs

Scotland topped their World Cup qualifying group and must now progress through the play-offs [Getty Images] Scotland will have to beat Czech Republic, then either Lithuania or Sweden in successive two-legged play-off ties if they are to reach next summer's Women's World Cup. Melissa Andreatta's side won their qualifying group in League B ahead of Belgium and were duly seeded in path 2 of the play-off draw. A total of 32 teams entered that, with eight successful sides progressing to the finals in Brazil. Denmark, France, Germany and Spain have already qualified after winning their League A groups. Scotland are away in the first leg of round one before welcoming the Czechs - who finished second in their group behind Wales - in the second leg. Should they win that tie on aggregate, they will then play the winners of the match between Lithuania and Sweden. Sweden came third in their League A group - behind Denmark and Italy - while Lithuania topped their League C group.
