Scotland to play first under-23 international

Rangers' Brogan Hay could debut for Scotland in Spain

Scotland women will field their maiden under-23 side in Saturday's friendly with Panama in Spain.

Rangers' Brogan Hay, 23, has been given a first call-up, with eight others in the squad aged 23 or under.

Five players over the age of 23 will be permitted for both sides on Saturday.

• Scotland call up Arthur and Murray for friendlies

"The introduction of Scotland Under-23 side was identified in our Girl's and Women's strategy last year as an important steppingstone to bridge the gap between youth squads and the senior team," Martinez Losa told the Scottish FA website.

"There are a number of players who have been on the periphery of the first team who'll now have the opportunity to gain experience from being immersed in the senior team environment, as well as gaining valuable game time in a Scotland shirt."
