Scotland kick off their UEFA Women’s EURO 2021 Qualifiers against Cyprus this Friday but injuries have caused a couple of changes to the squad.
Jamie-Lee Napier received a late call up after injuries forced Erin Cuthbert and Fiona Brown to withdraw from the squad.
Hibernian teammate Amy Muir was also selected alongside Napier but was forced pull out due to an injury sustained in Hibernian’s Edinburgh Derby victory over Hearts on Sunday.

“We want to keep building on the momentum we’ve created and hopefully get our qualification campaign off to a good start.
“The World Cup was amazing but it’s now time to make our next steps as a team create our next adventure.”
