SCOTLAND captain Rachel Corsie says talks between senior players and Scottish FA chief executive Ian Maxwell have cleared the air ahead of next Tuesday's World Cup qualifier against Spain at Hampden and could lead to positive changes in the future.

The meeting, which was also attended by the association's chief football officer Andy Gould, followed a multiple social media message from the players criticising the SFA's ticketing arrangements for the game. It was followed by an unusually robust statement from the governing body defending the arrangements and urging the players to “refocus” on the Spain game.

“The purpose of the tweets is that we want to make a difference and make (games at Hampden) the best experience for the players, staff and fans,” Corsie pointed out. “What came off the back of what we did was good conversations which will enable change that does make a difference.

“There have been a lot of things the SFA have done, like the fact we are now playing at Hampden, that show forward steps, but at day-to-day level there's still ways to go across women's sports.

“It's something you're always battling and something you take on as a female footballer. We're always trying to push barriers and boundaries while working hard to earn success. It's a constant cycle.”
