What channel is Scotland Women v Finland on? TV, live stream and team news for Euro 2025 playoff tie

Scotland take on Finland at Easter Road in the first leg of their vital Women’s Euro 2025 qualifier this week.

Scotland will look to put one foot into next year’s Women’s Euros in Switzerland as they welcome Finland to Easter Road for the first-leg of their qualifying playoff.

After comfortably navigating past Hungary with a 5-0 aggregate win in the first round playoff last month, Pedro Martinez Losa will aim to make home advantage count, with the Spaniard looking to lead Scotland Women to their first major tournament since 2019.

The 48-year-old head coach has taken his side on an impressive seven game run that has put them on the cusp of qualification to next summer’s Euros. Should they make it eight wins in a row with victory against Finland on Friday, they will be able to head to Helsinki for the return leg on Monday knowing they only need to avoid defeat to qualify.

Martinez Losa claimed the upcoming games against Finland represent “the most important moment” in his career, adding: "The achievement would inspire the whole nation and to send a message of women's football in Scotland. We can always find stats that help us to think we have improved. But I think ultimately, it's life experiences that dictate the future of the game and how we inspire everybody in the country.”

Scotland v Finland team news

Slowly but surely, Scotland are being boosted by the return of a number of long-term absentees. Vice-captain and key forward Caroline Weir started her first game in over a year in last month’s first round playoff win over Hungary after an ACL injury, while Manchester United’s Emma Watson appeared off the bench after a long-standing knee issue of her own.

Lee Gibson and Eartha Cummings shared the goalkeeping duties during Scotland’s two-legged win over Hungary, and will battle it out for the first to start the game against Finland, though captain Rachel Corsie is ruled out of the clash after undergone routine knee surgery last month. Sandy MacIver, Fiona Brown and Christy Grimshaw remained sidelined with long-term knee injuries.
