Seventeen-year-old Rangers midfielder Emma Watson has been called up to Scotland’s senior squad for the first time for two April friendlies.

Rangers captain Kathy Hill and London City Lionesses forward Sarah Ewens also earned their first call-ups.

Pedro Martinez Losa’s Scotland face Australia in London on 7 April before hosting Costa Rica four days later.

Glasgow City’s Amy Muir and fellow defender Rachel McLauchlan, of Rangers, return to the squad.

Celtic defender Kelly Clark, West Ham United midfielder Lisa Evans, London City Lionesses winger Jamie-Lee Napier, Crystal Palace midfielder Chloe Arthur and Bristol City forward Abi Harrison drop out of the squad that played in February’s Pinatar Cup.
