Erin Cuthbert says now is the time for Scotland to “step up” after winning promotion back to Nations League A and earning seeded status for Friday’s Euro 2025 play-off draw.
Pedro Martinez Losa’s side finished top of their Euro 2025 qualifying group after Kirsty Hanson’s goal secured a 1-0 win over Serbia on Tuesday night.
The victory means the Scots are back in Nations League A having been demoted to League B last time out after failing to win any of their six games.
“From here on in it gets harder,” Chelsea forward Cuthbert said.
“The opposition gets harder, the pressure gets harder. Now it’s time for us all to step up and it’s about how we handle pressure.
“There’s going to be moments where we need to sit in and defend for our lives and there’s going to be moments where we have to be really clinical because we may not get as many chances as we’ve had in this campaign.
“We’re going to have to be a really ruthless Scotland and front-footed as well. We do best when we high press teams.
“We don’t do well defending our own goal, we don’t have a team that wants to sit in and defend, we have front-footed players so whoever we play we need to impose our game on them.”
