SCOTLAND forward Claire Emslie took inspiration from a Hollywood classic as she set off on a football journey that she hopes will take her to a second World Cup. The Los Angeles-based player is back in Scotland this week preparing for Thursday’s World Cup play-off against Austria at Hampden. Emslie told “wee Claire” that “early-morning runs before school, early bed times, eating right, extra training and missing out on your friends’ parties will be so worth it”. There have been a few teething problems, but we have surpassed our targets and it’s a really good team. “We know they are a good team, they did well in the Euros, so it’s going to be a tough challenge,” she said.
