(Reuters) - When Rhonda Jones won the first of her 117 caps, women's football was so neglected in Scotland that the national side were forced to wear cast-off uniforms from the men's team.

Now, with the country on the brink of its first women's World Cup appearance, former defender Jones says there has been a sea-change in attitudes towards women's football and that the current Scottish side of "history makers" will help a new generation of girls take up the game.
