Stuart Wilson's side, who beat defending champions Sweden in their opening match, produced a battling singles rally to edge out France 5-4 and were heading into today's final match against Italy knowing victory would give them a third quadrangular crown in five years.

In the morning foursomes, Forrest teamed up with Calum Stewart to beat Kenny Subregis and Thomas Chapon by one hole in the final tie.

Trailing 2-1 after the morning session, the Scots hit back in the singles and won four of the six ties with Forrest sweeping to a 5 and 4 victory over Paul Barjon.

With Italy losing 7-2 to Sweden, Scotland are the only team with two wins from two with one round of matches to go.
