Scotland qualify, Wales win big, England host Italy & Ratcliffe makes his Man United move

Jimbo welcomes Jack Lang, Tom Williams and Tim Spiers into the studio in a stacked week of international football.

Scotland qualify for the Euros after Spain eliminate DJ Otzi-loving Norway on Sunday. And Wales produce their best performance in years to stun Croatia and put themselves right back in the mix for a place in Germany.

England host Italy on Tuesday with a betting scandal enveloping the squad ahead of kick-off. James Horncastle tells us what to expect from Spalletti’s Italy.

Domestically, Sir Jim Ratcliffe is bidding to buy 25% of Manchester United. Adam Crafton tries to get his read around the Glazers running the club but Ratcliffe running football operations.

Plus Neymar’s last stand and the dirtiest team of all time.

Produced by Charlie Jones.
