Andreatta says debut Scotland defeat gives her ‘baseline' to work from
A 1-0 loss to Austria in the Nations League Group A1 clash at Hampden Park confirmed relegation from the top flight of the competition for the Scots. The visitors scored the winner in the 62nd minute when attacker Julia Hickelsberger glanced in a header at the near post from a corner. Although the home side finished the game stronger, Andreatta's new charges ended the match still bottom of the table without a point in five games and will be playing in League B in the next Nations League campaign. The former Matildas assistant has another chance to put her stamp on the squad when they face the Netherlands away on Tuesday night in their final fixture before they start preparing for the World Cup qualifiers later in the year. Andreatta said: 'What I've taken is a baseline. 'There's one thing to be training and doing what we're doing and players executing what we're asking of them in a training session and it's another to do it in a match and in a match with that context behind it. 'So I think I have a good baseline now to understand where we're at, in order for us to progress to where we want to be. Rachel Corsie played her last match at Hampden on Friday night (Andrew Milligan/PA) 'I think you could tell by the fans (second half), there was a frustration, but I think the key part that I take from that is that we had players that took on the information at half-time and made some adjustments to what we were doing and trying to do – and they did that well. 'And then, together with the subs, who were a combination of experienced players and emerging players, they brought on the energy and had a real impact. 'So while it was frustrating not to get some reward from that impact and those changes, I know where we are now, and it's given me some ideas, moving forward.' Rachel Corsie, 35, who is retiring from football at the end of the game against Netherlands on Tuesday, started on the bench and came on at the beginning of the second half to win her 155th cap and play at Hampden Park for the last time. Pulling on the armband for one last time at the National Stadium 🏴 ©️ @RachelCorsie14 #SWNT | #SCOAUT — Scotland National Team (@ScotlandNT) May 30, 2025 Andreatta added: 'I'm sure for her, there would have been a lot of emotion and having friends and family there for sure. 'But what I know about Rachel is she's a real team person and she'll be more hurt for the team that we didn't get the result that we all want. 'But she'll quickly refocus as a leader and professional that she is and help the team to bounce back because that's what we need to do now.'

Future is bright for retiring 'stalwart' Corsie, says Crichton
Rachel Corsie has played her final home game as Scotland Women captain and former team-mate Leanne Crichton reckons very few can emulate the important leadership role the retiring captain has exiting Aston Villa centre-half, who has 155 international caps and played at Euro 2017 and the 2019 World Cup, said earlier this week that it "feels like the right moment" to give up playing after nearly a year out through injury."There are very few that will lead the way Rachel Corsie has led and that's a sad reality," former international midfielder Crichton told BBC Scotland."There's only been two or three maximum in my entire career that have had the fortune to play alongside and experience that and understand the demands and the expectations and how they perform off the pitch as well as on it - and she's been impeccable."She is an absolute stalwart and I can tell you right now that the national team would not be where it is in terms of the experiences and moments and the success that we've had over the last two decades had it not been for somebody like Rachel Corsie."Crichton also hopes Corsie is able to stay involved with football, if she wishes to. "I would love to see her remain in the game in some capacity, just because I know how much value there is in having somebody like her around," she added."But, again, that's over to the SFA, that's over to the national team, or it's over to, you know, previous clubs that perhaps she's played at that understand the wealth and value that there would be in keeping her around."So, I mean, the future, regardless of what it is, it's absolutely bright."
