GORDON Shepherd had the ideal baptism as new Scotland coach when he led his side to a hard-fought 2-1 victory over France in their opening encounter in the Celtic Cup in Nice.

Vikki Bunce celebrated her 100th cap by scoring from the spot and Laura Bartlett got the winner after France had scored.

The Scots must now win against Ireland to take the Celtic Cup for the fourth time in a row.
