Scotland head coach Pedro Martinez Losa has made two changes to his squad for next month's Women's Euro 2025 Qualifiers against Slovakia and Serbia.
Defender Leah Eddie, who has moved to Rangers from Hibs, returns to the squad but there is no place for Rachel McLauchlan following her departure from Jo Potter's side.
There is also a place for Rangers midfielder Kirsty Maclean while her team-mate Sarah Ewens drops out.
Pedro Martinez Losa's side currently sit top of Group B2, ahead of Serbia on goal difference, with a play-off spot already secured.
Scotland are unbeaten so far in qualifying, with three wins and one draw while scoring 10 goals and conceding just one.
They travel to face Slovakia on July 12 before returning to Glasgow for their final group match against Serbia at Partick Thistle's Wyre Stadium.
Pedro Martinez Losa said he "had goosebumps every time I heard the national anthem" as Scotland's men played at Euro 2024, and wants to bring similar tournament excitement to the country next summer.
"It's always our job to bring joy to Scottish football fans," he added.
"There is no guarantee we will qualify yet, but we have the feeling we are preparing well and giving the chance.
"The energy of all the fans who travelled to see their country play, that's something I really want to be part of.
"The last camp, from a football perspective, was one of the best.
"Correcting things from previous games, getting rewards for finishing opportunities, defending, more entries into the box, counter-pressing. It was a complete performance.
"We have developed the culture and mindset of the group together. You bring energy from one camp to another and we have the confidence and the energy of the last camp. Now we have to reset again and be prepared."
