Scotland captain Corsie not fit for play-off final

Captain Rachel Corsie has not recovered from injury in time for Scotland's European Championship play-off final with Finland.

The vastly experienced Aston Villa defender, 35, is recovering from a knee operation she had in early October.

Celtic skipper Kelly Clark and Rangers midfielder Chelsea Cornet return to the squad, with Kathy Hill and Lauren Davidson dropping out.

Scotland host the first leg at Easter Road on 29 November and visit Helsinki three days later, with the winners progressing to the tournament in Switzerland next July.

BBC Scotland will provide live TV coverage of the match in Edinburgh, with the return game to be shown on BBC ALBA.

Scotland defeated Hungary 5-0 on aggregate in their play-off semi-final, while Finland hit six over two games against Montenegro.
