The 24-year-old midfielder, who signed a three-year contract with Bayern in May after leaving Rangers, played the full 90 minutes as she helped the German giants to a 2-0 away success against Werder Bremen.

First half goals from Magdalena Eriksson and Katharina Elisa Naschenweng did the damage for the league leaders at the Weserstadion Platz 11.

The result puts Bayern onto 20 points, having won six and drawn two of their opening eight league games this season. They are currently a single point ahead of second-placed Wolfsburg.

Scotland international Kerr has had to wait for her first Bayern start due to a knee injury. She will now be hoping for a regular run of games, continuing with the UEFA Women’s Champions League Group C away game against Paris tonight (Thursday).
