With Brann's title-winning season complete, there was a team break in the Big Smoke as players at the Norwegian club headed over to watch all the international action.

Scotland take on China tomorrow in a friendly in Jerez, Spain the last chance for head coach Melissa Andreatta to look at the squad before World Cup qualifying kicks off in Luxembourg on March 3.

The men's side have booked their berth across the Atlantic following a 4-2 Hampden triumph over Denmark that will remain etched in the memory.

Davidson said: "It was amazing and the girls were all really happy for me.

"It was a really fun night and you could see what it meant to everyone involved. Just getting to a World Cup is huge.
