The drama for Sarah (20) started when Scotland player Rhonda Jones went off injured after 55 minutes of Thursday’s Scotland v Norway friendly match at Dunfermline’s East End Park.

“I was just sitting there with my friends watching the game so it was a total shock when somebody told me I was going to be playing up front,” Sarah said.

“I borrowed boots from Scotland squad member Christie Murray, who’s a size five when I’m a size three.

“So I had to wear three pairs of socks.”
