Melissa Andreatta has named her squad that will kick off the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup qualifiers next month.

Hibernian forward McGovern returns following injury whilst fellow attacker Maria McAneny retains her place after scoring on her senior debut to secure a 1-1 draw in injury time against Ukraine in November.

Seven of the eight players who made their Scotland debuts in 2025 will start this year’s qualification campaign with 52-capped Martha Thomas dropping out of selection.

Defender Leah Eddie also drops out and is replaced by Charlotte Newsham. The 25-year-old was called into the senior squad for the first time last May, replacing Amy Rodgers who suffered a broken jaw against Austria during the 2025 UEFA Nations League campaign.

SWNT will kick-off their qualifiers with a Luxembourg double-header and the first home fixture in the calendar will take place at Barclays Hampden on Saturday, 7 March.

Scotland closed out 2025 with a draw against Ukraine and a 3-2 win against China PR in November’s international friendlies.
