With the Pinatar Cup just days away Pedro Martínez Losa has named his Scotland side who will take part in the competition hoping to secure Scotland’s second trophy in 4 years.
Scotland have done well in recent years when playing in the Pinatar Cup finishing Winners in 2020 and third place in 2023 but this time around the competition is a little more challenging as Scotland faces the Philippines who finished 4th in last season’s tournament in a Semi-Final clash on 24th February and if Scotland was to overcome that task they would have to play either Slovenia or Finland in the Final.
Jane Ross returns to the squad after a 17-month absence due to a knee injury. The striker already has 146 caps to her name and has made a blistering return to the game, scoring 11 goals in 8 games for Rangers. Chelsea Cornet, Leah Eddie and Hayley Lauder also return to the twenty three player Squad.

Amy Gallacher, Abi Harrison, Kirsty Maclean, Emma Mukandi and Rachel McLauchlan have all been dropped from the thirty player provisional squad.
With Scotland going into this tournament as the highest-ranked nation and the favourites a lot of pressure will be on this Scotland side however with the vast experience of players like Martha Thomas, Jane Ross and Erin Cuthbert the task should be fairly simple.
