Pedro Martinez Losa has named his squad for the upcoming EURO 2025 qualifying play-off double-header against Finland, with captain Rachel Corise set to miss out yet again.

Corsie, who plays with WSL side Aston Villa, underwent a knee operation early last month and missed the play-off semi-final against Hungary. The SWNT won the tie handily in the end, running out 5-0 victors on aggregate, with Erin Cuthbert scoring a sensational goal in the second leg at Easter Road. Celtic captain Kelly Clark and Rangers midfielder Chelsea Cornet, do however make a return to the squad following their returns from injury with Kathryn Hill and Lauren Davidson dropping out of the pool.

Scotland's women's national team are unbeaten in eight games and gained promotion to Nations League A, after their stellar run. They have also been buoyed by the recent return of Real Madrid superstar Caroline Weir from a lengthy injury lay-off.
