Women's International Preview

RANGERS will have several players away on international duty over the next seven days proudly representing their countries in the latest set of continental fixtures.

Here is a preview of who is away and when they are in action:

Nicola Docherty, Kirsty Maclean, Kirsty Howat, Chelsea Cornet, Brogan Hay and Mia McAulay – Scotland

  • Scotland v Austria – UEFA Nations League – Friday 30 May – Kick-off 19:35

  • Netherlands v Scotland – UEFA Nations League – Wednesday 4 June – Kick-off 19:30

Head Coach, Melissa Andreatta, has selected a strong Rangers contingent in her first squad in charge of Scotland.

Docherty, Maclean, Hay and Cornet have been stalwarts of the national team in recent years, while Howat has been rewarded for her outstanding goalscoring form in the second half of the campaign.

In the meantime, McAulay, who was initially selected in the Scotland Under-23s squad, has joined up with the senior squad after netting in Sunday’s Scottish Cup final victory for the Light Blues.

Scotland will square off against Austria at Hampden on Friday evening as they look to retain their League A status, before making the trip to face the Netherlands next midweek.

Laura Rafferty – Northern Ireland

  • Northern Ireland v Poland – UEFA Nations League – Friday 30 May – Kick-off 19:00

  • Bosnia and Herzegovina v Northern Ireland – UEFA Nations League – Tuesday 3 June – Kick-off 18:00

UEFA Nations League action also beckons for Rafferty as the Green and White Army square off against Poland and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The 29-year-old defender featured regularly in the Gers’ cup double winning campaign this past season and was introduced earlier than anticipated in Sunday’s Scottish Cup final triumph following Nicola Docherty’s early injury withdrawal.

She has represented Northern Ireland with distinction in recent years, returning to the squad after missing last month’s Nations League double header against Romania through injury.

Telma Ívarsdóttir – Iceland

  • Norway v Iceland – UEFA Nations League – Friday 30 May – Kick-off 19:00

  • Iceland v France – UEFA Nations League – Tuesday June 3 – Kick-off 19:00

Ívarsdóttir has been included in the Iceland squad for their UEFA Nations League outings against Norway and France.

The goalkeeper joined the Gers in January, keeping a clean sheet in a Scottish Cup victory over Spartans on her debut, and has spent recent weeks on loan at Breidablik as she continues her development.

Victoria Esson – New Zealand

  • New Zealand v Venezuela – Friendly – Saturday 31 May – Kick-off 17:00

  • New Zealand v Venezuela – Friendly – Tuesday 3 June – Kick-off 17:00

Esson has been selected for the New Zealand squad once again as they prepare for a pair of friendlies in Spain.

Indeed, the side didn’t take to the pitch during the previous international window in April due to pitch safety concerns in Taiwan.

They opened the calendar year with victory and a draw against Costa Rica, with Esson keen to add to her 26 international caps for her country in this window.

Jodi McLeary and Eilidh Austin – Scotland Under-23s

  • Scotland v Iceland – Friendly - Thursday 29 May – Kick-off 15:00

  • Scotland v Iceland – Friendly – Monday 2 June – Kick-off 15:00

McLeary and Austin will link up with the Scotland Under-23s for their friendly double header against Iceland.

Pinatar Arena in Spain was the scene of the side’s last set of fixtures as they squared off against Portugal and Denmark.

Both matches will take place at the Falkirk Stadium, which is free entry for those wishing to attend.
