Small included for two January challenge matches

Abigail Harrison is also in line for her first cap having been included after Lana Clelland had to withdraw from the original squad.

Rachel Corsie was a late call-off with a knee injury and has been replaced by Hibernian defender Rachel McLauchlan.

Jo Love will deputise as captain for the first time.

The matches will act as preparation for Scotland as they aim to reach their first ever World Cup, having won their opening two fixtures. Their next competitive match is on Thursday, 5 April against Switzerland away from home before they play Poland in Scotland five days later. Scotland have recently moved into the top 10 of the European rankings for the first time, rising from 11th to eighth place. Scotland Women’s National Team head coach Shelley Kerr said: “2018 is massive year for Scottish women’s football as we aim to reach our first World Cup and we need to prepare well for our qualification matches. “Being away with the squad allows us some more time to be together as a squad and test ourselves against a good standard of opposition. “We’re happy with how the squad has been shaping up recently and have kept consistency within the group for our first camp of the year.”
