“As soon it was New Year, I was thinking about my goals for this year and qualifying for the World Cup is top of the list so, yeah, this is where it begins,” Weir, 30, said.
“There’s lots of things I want to achieve as captain and I guess it starts from this camp.
“[Leading Scotland at the World Cup] would be everything for me. There’s no higher honour.
“More determined than ever because I’m getting older and you don’t know how many more opportunities you’re going to have.”
Weir scored in both of October’s friendlies, a win over Morocco and defeat by Switzerland. Since then, the Scots have drawn with Ukraine and beaten China in friendly matches.
“For Mel to choose me as her captain, I’m hugely honoured, humbled, excited because it’s such an exciting time for the squad,” said Weir.
“It was quite an emotional moment and one that I’m proud of, my family are very proud of. It starts from here.
“We love when our national teams do well in anything and we want to be part of that.”
