The weather outside is lovely, which is a change to when the 2019 squad was announced at a dreich Linlithgow Palace.

On a dreich night in Dundee it took both teams a while to warm up until Caroline Weir and Cuthbert each forced a save out of Shannon Turner, making just her second appearance in the Northern Ireland goal.

There may well be the odd day when the weather is wet and “dreich.”

Even the weather turned up for the occasion as a dreich Scottish summer gave way to blue skies and sunshine.

It’s all gray stone houses and Neolithic stone circles — and dreich weather.
