In a disappointing opening match of the Nations League against Austria, Scotland's women's team showed glimpses of potential amidst a familiar defeat. With a new interim head coach, Michael McArdle, and several new players, hopes were high for a refreshed approach. Despite individual efforts, especially from Kirsty Hanson, who missed key opportunities, the team struggled with a lack of cohesion, culminating in a single goal defeat. The loss was compounded by an injury to Sophie Howard, highlighting the team's ongoing challenges as they seek to improve and adapt going forward.
"I'm really disappointed in myself. I had two chances and I didn't finish them. It's about small margins at this level. So I'm obviously really frustrated with myself."
"We know what it's like and obviously not much has changed about the starting XI. A few new faces, but we're obviously a whole squad and we helped the young ones coming in, the debuts."
