Anna Signeul has named her squad for the upcoming UEFA Women's Euro qualifying double-header.

Scotland take on Israel, who they defeated 6-1 on the opening day of the campaign, followed by Republic of Ireland, who were defeated 2-1 at Tynecastle in April thanks to two late goals from Christie Murray and Rhonda Jones.

Scotland are currently in the play-off spot in Group 4, behind group leaders France

Anna Signeul said: "We've passed the half-way point in the campaign now and every match is crucial as we aim to consolidate our place in the group.

"Although we defeated Israel in the first match, they are a well-organised side, and we can't take them for granted. We had a tough match against Republic of Ireland in April, but we showed our determination to get the result that we needed. We can expect a similar test in Cork.

"We look forward to playing at Tynecastle again on 16th June, where we always get fantastic backing. I hope the fans are looking forward to a 3pm Saturday kick-off in Edinburgh as much as we are."
