Women’s World Cup qualifiying: Scotland players have not discussed Israel boycott

“Ultimately, we have to let the people who are in charge of these situations – the governing bodies who decide these things – decide.

“We, as players, have been put in a situation where it’s the Israel game at a neutral venue and that’s all we can do.

“Is it the best circumstances surrounding it? Of course not, because we are aware of everything else that’s going on and we feel for that as humans.

“However, right now we have to adapt to the situation and play football. That’s our role and that’s all we can do.”

Grimshaw has been recalled to the Scotland squad following a two-year absence after recovering from a knee injury.

Asked if she personally had thought of turning down the opportunity for the games against Israel, the AC Milan midfielder said she was a human and a footballer – “two separate people”.

“But it’s a long time I’ve been out and, when the national team calls, as a footballer I would never say no to my national team,” she added.

Grimshaw said it is “not ideal” that she could be adding to her 16 caps in an empty Bozsik Arena in Budapest on Friday.

“We’d love to be playing in Scotland, but we just have to play the role we’ve been given and that’s to perform and adapt in the best way we can,” she said.

“We’re human, we are aware, but we can’t change it. We are footballers and have a job to do – and it’s to get six points in these two games.”

Scotland go into the game top of Group B4 on goal difference from a Belgium side who play their double-header against bottom side Luxembourg.
