EURO 2013: Play-offs

EURO best: First qualification

How they qualified: Group 1 runners-up, W7 D0 L1 F30 A7 Pts21

Coach: Anna Signeul

One to watch: Jane Ross (forward, Manchester City)

What to watch out for: In 2009 they were pipped in the play-offs by Russia on away goals, and four years later theyconceded twice deep into extra time in Spain to be foiled at the last. Yet after those near-misses, Scotland are now in their first final tournament, dropping points in qualifying only at home to Iceland.

The longest-serving coach at the finals, Anna Signeul will end her 12-year Scotland reign by leading them in their first-ever major tournament. However, their preparations have been marred by injuries to Kim Little and Jennifer Beattie, two crucial players. While Jane Ross was a ten-goal qualifying joint-top scorer and the likes of Lisa Evans, Rachel Corsie, Ifeoma Dieke and the promising Erin Cuthbert mean Scotland still have a strong squad, they would have loved to have England-based Little and Beattie for the keenly-awaited opener against their neighbours.
