The task for the Tartan Army is pretty straightforward after their two-legged victory over Hungary. Getting past Hungary has ensured they’ve navigated past ‘path one’ of the Euros play-off stage, and they will now face another two-legged affair.
Scotland will now take on Finland over two games in a final qualification play-off after the Finns beat Montenegro 6-0 on aggregate on Tuesday evening. They’ll play the first leg at home before travelling to Finland for the crucial away leg. The winner of this qualification play-off will then qualify for the Women’s European Championships next summer in Switzerland.
When do Scotland Women play next?
While the official date and venue for Scotland’s next - and final - Euros play-off games against Finland are yet to be confirmed, both legs of the second round of the Euros play-offs will take place in the week of Wednesday 27 November and Tuesday 2 December.
Scotland will play the first leg at home, though it is not yet known where the game will take place.
