Abi Harrison's extra-time winner brought a record competitive crowd to its feetScotland are potentially 90 minutes away from the Women's World Cup after a gruelling extra-time play-off victory over Austria.
The Scots were far from their best at a torrid Hampden Park but conjured a thumping winner from Abi Harrison on 92 minutes in front of a record competitive crowd.
Pedro Martinez Losa's side now host Republic of Ireland, with the winners potentially going straight to next year's tournament in Australia and New Zealand.
The top two-ranked play-off final winners will go straight to the finals, while the third-best team will go into a 10-team inter-confederation play-off next February.
