Michael McArdle has named six uncapped players in his first Scotland squad as interim head coach for this month’s women’s Nations League openers.
There are first call-ups for Celtic defender Emma Lawton, Hearts midfielder Eilidh Shore, Hibernian forward Eilidh Adams and Newcastle United midfielder Freya Gregory, who represented England at youth level.
Goalkeeper Erin Clachers and Rangers’ teenage winger Mia McAulay are also included as nine players have been left out from the squad that failed in their Euro 2025 play-off final against Finland in December.
McArdle, who was appointed on a short-term basis last month while the Scottish FA continue their search for a permanent successor to Pedro Martinez Losa, has also chosen Leah Eddie, Lauren Davidson, Amy Muir and Kirsty Maclean.
Captain Rachel Corsie remains out injured after suffering a set-back while there is no place for Rangers skipper Nicola Docherty – who started in Helsinki – or 115-time capped Glasgow City winger Lisa Evans.
Jenna Fife, Kelly Clark, Emma Mukandi, Shannon McGregor, Jamie-Lee Napier, Amy Rodgers and Brogan Hay also make way.
Scotland kick off their Nations League A campaign in Austria on 21 February before welcoming the Netherlands at Hampden four days later.
Germany, ranked third in the world, complete the group and face the Scots in an April double-header.
