Corsie disappointed to miss out on ‘big opportunities’ for Scotland

Captain Rachel Corsie insists she will be getting along to watch Scotland as a fan while out injured.

The Aston Villa defender is sidelined until early December after knee surgery and will miss Scotland’s upcoming Euro 2025 play-off against Hungary.

Although disappointed to be missing out, the 35-year-old intends to cheer on her team-mates from the stands.

“Since we’ve known who our opponents were there’s been a good anticipation for the games,” Corsie said on the BBC’s Behind the Goals podcast.

“Everyone has wanted to start the season well because everyone knows there’s some big opportunities around the corner.

“That [injury] is really disappointing, I’ve worked hard to be available for the national team so it’s always tough to have to make that phone call to the manager.

“I will still plan to get along to the games and be in the stands for the home games.”
