Scotland: Emma Watson buzzing to be back with ‘special’ group

It’s safe to say Emma Watson is buzzing to be back for Scotland.

After over a year out with an ACL injury, the 18-year-old came off the bench in Budapest during the 1-0 win against Hungary.

The Manchester United midfielder had just broke into the national team, and impressed, when she suffered the brutal injury last year, but she – along with idol Caroline Weir – have made their much anticipated return.

“I’m buzzing with getting back out there, playing with the girls back on the international stage. It’s an emotional night and I’m just happy to be back,” she told BBC Scotland.

“These are the moments that you look back and think all the long hard days and hard work has paid off. I’m really proud of myself and just so happy to be here.

“When I got injured I was looking ahead at what camp I could maybe get picked for and this was definitely on the cards.

“Abig thank you to Pedro for still having the belief in me, and that just shows you what kind of a manager he is. It’s really special that he still feels that I’m a big part of this team.

“The girls are great, we always have good vibes in camp and there’s a really special energy about us, a real togetherness and I think you could see that tonight.

“We’re all playing for each other and it’s a really special group to be part of.”
