Weir 'sets standards' for Scotland - Hanson

Kirsty Hanson heaped praise on Caroline Weir after the Scotland captain inspired a 6-0 victory over Israel in World Cup qualifying.

Weir scored a superb hat-trick as the Scots boosted their chances over topping Group B4.

They face Israel again on Tuesday, while second-placed Belgium take on Luxembourg.

"It is just good to have a captain like that," Hanson said. "Just look up to her, play with her, all learn off her but obviously she is a role model for everyone, so we all look up to her

"She sets the standards and, if she is playing well, we all play well.

"Very happy to score loads of goals, but we have another game and we just move on to the next one."

Hanson also got on the scoresheet late on as Melissa Andreatta's side significantly improved their goal difference.

Scotland and Belgium are both on 11 points, but the Scots are four ahead on goal difference before the final round of group fixtures.

"We just wanted to score as many goals as we can, so we did that, got the win we needed and on to the next game," Hanson added.

"We are just focused on ourselves.

"Just to be patient and play to our strengths. We maybe rushed things as we knew where we could hurt them.

"We had to be patient, move them around, find the gaps and we did that in the second half."
