""Caroline Weir has been named Scotland captain on an official basis before the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Luxembourg. The Real Madrid midfielder missed Scotland's 3-2 friendly win against China in December, but led out her country in the six matches that preceded it and now takes on the role full-time alongside vice-captain Erin Cuthbert. Previous skipper Rachel Corsie retired in June after living in "chronic knee pain". Scotland play away in Luxembourg on 3 March before the return fixture four days later.""
""Every opportunity to represent Scotland is a privilege and to do so as captain is even more special and a responsibility that I'm excited to embrace. "I'm fortunate to be surrounded by so many natural leaders within this squad and to have learned from those who have gone before me. "It's an exciting time for us as we start the qualification journey to Brazil 2027, with a passionate, hard-working and talented group of players.""
