An encouraging display away to European Champions the Lionesses has Tartan Army fans in a positive mood heading into tonight's crunch Nations League clash with Belgium.
Four wins from their last five games saw Spanish head coach Pedro Martinez Losa rewarded with a contract extension that will see him remain at the helm until at least 2027- a move that has been strongly backed by Scotland’s players.
Over 40,000 fans packed out the Stadium Of Light on Friday and the women’s national team will be hoping for a strong crowd at Hampden after their recent excellent form as they face Belgium.
Manchester United winger Emma Watson has been forced out of the squad with an injury she picked up in training last week and her former Rangers team mate Kirsty Howat has received her first international call up after a strong start to the Scottish Women’s Premier League campaign. Will she be given a shock starting berth?
We predict which starting XI Scotland will go with as they look to topple Belgium.
