Scotland vs. Austria in Women’s Nations League Group A1.

Location: Hampden Park, Glasgow Date: Friday, May 30 Kick-off: 19:35 BST

Sam Kerr, a midfielder for Bayern Munich, was recalled from the Scotland squad for the Women’s Nations League matches against Austria and the Netherlands, with Kirsty Smith and Mia McAulay drafted in.

Smith, who has been released by West Ham United, was originally called into the squad by new national head coach Melissa Andreatta, but the 31-year-old will now have a chance to add to her 62 caps.

McAulay scored the opening goal at Hampden Park on Sunday, coming off a starring role in Rangers’ 3-0 victory over Glasgow City in the Scottish Cup final.

Scotland will need a two-goal victory to avoid being relegated from League A on Friday, a game that will be broadcast live on BBC Alba.

Next Tuesday, Andreatta will travel to Tilburg with her team in person, live on the BBC Scotland TV channel, to face the Dutch.
