Scotland ‘couldn’t have done much more’ against Finland – Caroline Weir

Caroline Weir says Scotland “gave everything” in their play-off final defeat to Finland in Helsinki.

The Scots, who failed to bring any advantage from the first leg, were caught our early by the home side who adapted to the freezing conditions seamlessly while Scotland stuttered to a 2-0 loss.

In Rachel Corsie’s absence, Real Madrid midfielder Weir led Scotland out at the Bolt Arena, and said her side “couldn’t have done much more”.

It now leaves Scotland without a major tournament appearance in six years.

“I think we did everything, this game came down to a couple of moments that weren’t in our favour,” the 29-year-old told BBC Alba.

“The team couldn’t have done much more. Unfortunately we’ve not done enough and it’s a really tough one to take.

“It’s really hard to digest at the moment, it wasn’t our night. We’ve worked so hard in the last couple of years to be in this position and unfortunately we couldn’t take that final step.

“The players have worked so hard but it wasn’t enough.”
