13 October 2026
Scotland Women reached the next stage of World Cup qualifying play-offs after defeating the Czech Republic 3-2, completing a 5-2 aggregate victory. The result sets up a crucial December showdown with Sweden, although Caroline Weir’s pre-match injury raised fresh fitness concerns.
Scotland twice came from behind in Paisley, with Lauren Davidson and Kathleen McGovern contributing goals. Weir withdrew during the warm-up, while Erin Cuthbert appeared from the bench as she continued her return to fitness. Scotland’s coaching staff described Weir’s withdrawal as precautionary, with no confirmed diagnosis.
