Goalkeeper Alexander has 17 caps and six clean sheets for the senior side and believes there will be an edge to the World Cup opener against their rivals. "You'd say it means more to Scotland, it's a big rivalry," Alexander insisted. Scotland play England at the Allianz Riviera stadium in Nice on June 9 - their other opponents in Group D are Japan and Argentina. Forward Claire Emslie, who won the FA WSL and Women's FA Cup double with Manchester City this season, believes that Scotland are taking nothing for granted going into their opening World Cup match.
