The Arsenal FC striker, who has scored 103 goals from 104 appearances for the Scotland Women’s national side wants to keep on playing and is now setting her sights on helping her country earn a place in the finals of the European Championship or the World Cup for the first time.

This week, the 27-year-old looked back on a glittering career so far and ahead to what she hoped to achieve in future.
