GLASGOW, Scotland (Reuters) - England manager Sarina Wiegman is not expecting Scotland to roll over against her side in Tuesday's Women's Nations League game, as the result could have an impact on Britain's women's team playing at the Olympics next year.

The comments come after Netherlands manager Andries Jonker called the Lionesses' match at Hampden Park "strange" because of England needing to win for British footballers to have any chance of playing at the Paris Games.
