A jubilant Scotland celebrated wildly in Shkoder as they clinched their first-ever spot at a Women's World Cup finals with a dramatic victory over Albania.

Knowing they had to better the result of Group 2 leaders Switzerland, who were away to Poland, to qualify automatically, Scots nerves were shredded as Shelley Kerr's side clung to a 2-1 lead while the Swiss pushed for a winning goal.

Upon the news that the match had ended goalless in Poland, Kerr's Scotland had just a matter of seconds to hold on before the referee's whistle signalled an outpouring of emotion on the pitch.

Kim Little put Scotland ahead early on before Megi Doci levelled on the stroke of half-time.

Jane Ross' header hit the back of the net to put the Scots back ahead against the Albanians, triggering a frantic 23 minutes for the Scots to hold on and hope Poland kept a clean sheet in Mielec.
