Captain Rachel Corsie returns for Scotland for the first time since July following injury as head coach Melissa Andreatta names her first squad as head coach.

The Scots round off Nations League Group A1 at home to Austria on 30 May before travelling to the Netherlands four days later.

There is also a first call up for Hibernian striker Kathleen McGovern, who has 25 goals for the Scottish Women's Premier League leaders, while Rangers captain Nicola Docherty and two club-mates - winger Brogan Hay and forward Kirsty Howat -are recalled.

Centre-half Corsie, who is leaving Aston Villa this summer, told BBC Scotland's Behind the Goals podcast on Tuesday she hoped to be involved with the national squad again after returning to action as a substitute as the Women's Super League club completed their season with a 3-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion.
