Scotland women’s national football team have launched legal action against the Scottish FA after talks over equal pay and conditions broke down.
The team are now ready to take their case to an employment tribunal, marking a major milestone in the ongoing disputes.
The players, spearheaded by captain and Aston Villa defender Rachel Corsie, believe the disparities between their treatment and that of their male counterparts is due for a significant overhaul and have called on the Scottish Football Association to capitalise on a historic opportunity to ensure commensurate treatment for both teams as interest in women's football surges.
