Claire Emslie Confident in Scotland’s Readiness for Euro 2025 Play-off

Scotland forward Claire Emslie has asserted the team’s high level of confidence as they get ready for their two-legged Euro 2025 play-off series against Finland. The squad, managed by Pedro Martinez Losa, has secured victories in their last seven international matches consecutively, and requires only two additional wins to reach their first major tournament since the 2019 World Cup. Speaking on the BBC’s Behind the Goals podcast, Emslie commented on the team’s current state: “It feels different to any other play-off we’ve had before as a team.” She further explained, “The last couple of years we’ve really grown as a team and we see the experience in games, how people react to certain situations, there’s almost like a calmness and a confidence that we know who we are, we know what we can do – it’s just about executing now. “The girls are brilliant, sometimes there’s not a lot you can say it’s just about getting on the pitch.”
