Falkirk duo Nicola Docherty and Sam Kerr both played their part in helping Scotland defeat World Cup bound Costa Rica 4-0 last Tuesday night at Hampden to round off a perfect international period for Pedro Martinez Losa’s side.

The Scots also defeated Australia in London the previous week 1-0, thanks to a stunning strike from Redding native Docherty.

Against Costa Rica, Rangers pair Docherty and Kerr both started the match. On the night, fellow Gers player Emma Watson scored her first Scotland goals, with the 16-year-old grabbing the headlines with her two-strike display. Caroline Weir rounded off the scoring with an own goal making up the scoresheet.
