Scotland v Switzerland (19: 30) Dunfermline Athletic fan Caroline Weir spotted at East End Park ahead of tonight's clash v Switzerland. Oh she also plays for Real Madrid and is a Scotland international. Scotland v Switzerland (19: 30) Fun fact, not a single player who started Switzerland's 1-0 win over Canada on Friday night plays their domestic football in Switzerland. Lia Walti and Viola Calligaris are both at Juventus, also in Italy is Alayah Pilgrim who plays for Roma. Stdney Schertenleib is at Barcelona while Geraldine Reuteler, Nadine Riesen, both at Eintracht Frankfurt, and Julia Stierli (Freiburg) all play in Germany. Riola Xhemaili runs out for Dutch outfit PSV Eindhoven while Noelle Martiz (Aston Villa), Ima Beney (Man City) and goalkeeper Livia Peng (Chelsea) all play in England. Alisha Lehmann and Noemi Ivelj, who both start tonight, also play outside of Switzerland. Lehmann, formerly of Aston Villa, is at Como while Ivelj plays alongside Reuteler and Riesen at Frankfurt. On the other hand, almost half of Scotland's starting XI against Morocco play in the Scottish top division - Lee Gibson, Nicola Docherty, Amy Muir, Kathleen Mc Govern and Emma Lawton. Caroline Weir scored on her return to Dunfermline, but it was not enough for a Scotland victory At a glance Scotland twice fight back in first half through Kathleen Mc Govern and own goal Sydney Schertenleib's second goal and stunner from Smilla Vallotto adds to Iman Beney finish for Swiss Caroline Weir scores consolation in stoppage-time on Dunfermline homecoming Caroline Weir scored one and set up two goals on her Dunfermline homecoming, but it was not enough for victory as wasteful Scotland were defeated by Switzerland in an entertaining seven-goal friendly match. The Real Madrid midfielder and Ballon d'Or nominee appeared to have her "ultimate dream" of a goal at East End Park torn away from her when a late strike was disallowed, but the Dunfermline Athletic fan got her moment in stoppage-time. However, a vibrant Scotland performance was undermined by a lack of a clinical touch as Switzerland's ruthless streak proved the difference. Buoyed by their first win in almost a year against Morocco on Friday, the Scots made a sharp start at East End Park but suffered a sucker-punch as Sydney Schertenleib powered her first goal of the night beyond Lee Gibson. Weir had already seen an effort skim just over by then, but the midfielder produced a perfect pass to allow Mc Govern to lift a tricky finish over visiting goalkeeper Livia Peng to pull Scotland deservedly level. Chelsea midfielder Erin Cuthbert cracked the crossbar before Iman Beney slotted the Swiss back in-front, but Weir's corner deflected in off Geraldine Reuteler to make it all square at the end of breathtaking first half. Excitement levels were rightly high among the stands as the Scots showed plenty of the progress Andreatta had promised, but their old bad habits in defence caught them out again. Schertenleib capitalised on sloppy play, and with the help of a deflection off Nicola Docherty, restored Switzerland's lead before Smilla Vallotto smashed in a superb strike to stretch their advantage. Desperate for a goal in front of friends and family, Weir came within inches of hauling one back, while Kirsty Hanson, Kirsty Smith, Martha Thomas and Cuthbert also went agonisingly close in an encouraging, but wasteful Scotland display. And though the Scots' priority was securing back-to-back wins to build momentum before their World Cup qualification campaign begins in February, the sub-plot was Weir's return to Dunfermline. While initially it appeared her ambition of scoring on home turf had been ripped away when referee Abi Byrne chopped a goal off for handball, Weir did get her moment right at the end. Martha Thomas picked out the Scotland captain, who made no mistake in smashing the ball home for a late consolation goal. More to follow.
