Scotland Women’s National Team has confirmed its squad for its four upcoming Nations League matches. Most importantly, though, Kathleen McGovern gets her first call-up to the senior international side! Scotland will now prepare to take on Austria on May 30. Just a few days later, they’ll head to neighboring Tilburg to match up against the Netherlands on June 3. Both the teams hope to improve their ranks within Group A. In fact, right now it’s dead last after having taken a total of four losses earlier this year.
Kathleen McGovern, a standout player for Hibernian, has made a significant impact in the Scottish Women’s Premier League this season, scoring an impressive 28 goals. Her standout performance anchored Hibernian’s impressive run to the top of the league standings. McGovern’s exceptional form has earned her a spot in the national squad, providing Scotland with fresh talent as they strive for better results in the Nations League.
Captain Corsie Returns from Injury
Scotland Women’s National Team captain Rachel Corsie makes her long-awaited return to the squad following an extended injury layoff. Corsie has not featured for her country since July last year. She is very much looking forward to helping energize her teammates when they start facing tough competition in the next rounds of games. Sadly for us, she just made a surprise announcement that she’ll be leaving Aston Villa. For her, this decision represents a sea change with profound implications for her future.
Corsie’s leadership on the pitch will continue to be invaluable for a young squad looking to regain some of their early tournament momentum. The squad had been winless in prior matches against strong competition, with losses to Germany, Netherlands, and Austria earlier this year. We’re super excited to have Corsie back in the lineup! Naturally, Scotland are hoping her experience and skill can help reverse their fortunes in the Nations League.
Squad Highlights and Key Players
Besides Corsie and McGovern, a number of other players are poised to take on central roles in these games. Lauren Davidson of SK Brann, Brogan Hay of Rangers and Caroline Weir of Real Madrid add exciting youth and depth to the squad. They come with tons of talent and experience. Every player’s talents add to the deep well of talent on the team as they face down an uncertain future.
Scotland, meanwhile, is preparing for its home games against Austria and the Netherlands. Togetherness and perseverance will truly make their story! New players are joining homegrown talent in the form of established players like Corsie, encouraging hopes that the squad could achieve great things. They are looking to climb atop of Group A and earn crucial points in the Nations League.
