The 30-year-old Real Madrid player was named skipper following the recent retirement of Rachel Corsie and she began her new role in style in Esch-sur-Alzette on Tuesday night. Weir broke the deadlock in the ninth minute when she blasted home at the second attempt after a corner broke into her path just inside the box. The Scots doubled their lead in the 27th minute as Erin Cuthbert’s free kick from the left was headed down into the net by Jenna Clark from eight yards out. Weir then drove home her second of the night with a low-struck free kick from just outside the box 10 minutes later. And the forward sealed her treble in the 61st minute when she pounced in the six-yard box to divert in a Cuthbert strike that was heading wide. Kathleen McGovern completed the rout in the 88th minute with a lovely finish from the angle of the six-yard box after being set up by Charlotte Newsham . The Scots, aiming to reach their first major tournament since the 2019 World Cup in France, will be confident of adding another three points when they welcome Luxembourg to Hampden for a rematch this Saturday.
