"Class. She's a classy person - and a classy player as well. Melissa Andreatta, Scotland's head coach, describing Caroline Weir's character and playing ability, highlighting her significance to the team's success."
Caroline Weir, Scotland's new captain, delivered an outstanding performance by scoring a hat-trick in a dominant 5-0 victory over Luxembourg in their Women's World Cup qualifying opener.

Head coach Melissa Andreatta praises Weir's class both as a person and player. Weir has expressed desperation to reach next summer's World Cup in Brazil, marking Scotland's return to the tournament for the first time since 2019. Under Andreatta's leadership, there is increased tactical emphasis on set-pieces, an area where Weir particularly excels, making her indispensable to Scotland's qualifying campaign.
