Speaking on BBC Scotland after the Hibs game on Thursday, Alex Rae and Gordon Strachan both said they would be supporting Spain on Sunday. Strachan joked that he has been unable to watch much of the World Cup because the wi-fi has been down at his holiday home in Spain. Aileen Campbell, chief executive of Scottish Women's Football, said the "positive viewing figures along with record crowds show that new audiences of spectators are being attracted to women's football".
