Buckhaven's Emma Mitchell was part of the Scotland Women's national team which made history in Albania as they qualified for their first ever FIFA Women's World Cup Finals.

The Scots entered the match knowing that should they better Switzerland’s result away to Poland they would qualify automatically for the finals in France, while a play-off spot would be secured should they at least draw.
