Women boss Mclaren in his element at ‘pinnacle of my career’

Stuart Mclaren admits he has "loved every minute" of his caretaker spell in charge of Scotland Women as he prepares for their final game before the World Cup qualifiers.

Mclaren was put in charge after Shelley Kerr stepped down on Christmas Eve and is looking to follow up last week's win over northern ireland when Scotland take on Wales in Llanelli tomorrow.

The former Stirling Albion manager could be a contender for the job on a permanent basis.

The SFA is expected to make an appointment in time for the new head coach to settle in before the World cup qualifiers start in September.

"I have absolutely loved every minute of it," Mclaren said. "It's a huge honour to be a senior national team coach. It's the absolute pinnacle of the game.

"It's terrific working with the youth squads and seeing what the future holds within the men's side but to work with the national team is the pinnacle of my career to date.”
