Experienced duo Sam Kerr and Martha Thomas have been named in the Scotland squad for next month's Women's World Cup round one play-off against the Czech Republic, marking their first call-up in almost a year. Melissa Andreatta's side will travel to Pardubice on Friday, 9 October, before hosting the Czechs at St Mirren Park four days later.
Liverpool midfielder Kerr last earned a cap in February 2025, while Thomas, who joined WSL2 side Newcastle United in the summer, reached her 50th cap in October 2025. Also returning to the squad are Freya Gregory and Sophie Howard, who missed the previous camp, and Celtic midfielder Maria McAneny.
Defenders Leah Eddie and Kenzie Weir, along with strikers Eilidh Adams and Laura Berry, have been left out of the squad. Aston Villa youngster Mia McAulay retains her place after being a late addition for the June double-header.
Andreatta's unbeaten side topped their qualifying group and are now four games away from their first major tournament since the 2019 World Cup.
