Scotland debutant Emma Lawton is “loving every minute” of her “surreal” season, which started off at part-time Partick Thistle.

The 23-year-old made her international debut in the defeat to Austria on Friday night, having been called up for the first time thanks to her fine first season with Celtic.

“It was definitely a proud moment for me to get my first start but, disappointed with the result,” the full-back said.

“I was actually thinking about it on the bus here that six months ago I was playing part-time football and now I’ve played in the Champions League, I’m at a full-time club and now I’m playing for Scotland.

“It’s been surreal, but I’m just loving every minute of it.”
