Weir expressed her determination to lead the team to the World Cup, emphasizing it as a top priority. She aims to achieve much in her role as captain, starting with the upcoming qualifiers. This appointment marks a significant moment for Weir and the squad, setting the stage for an exciting campaign.

Melissa Andreatta, the new Scotland head coach, will oversee her first World Cup qualifier.
