Pedro Martinez Losa has named his first squad of 2023 as the Scotland Women’s National
       Team begin preparations for the forthcoming UEFA Nations League at the Pinatar Cup.
           The 25-strong group will fly to the team’s base camp at La Finca, where they will
       prepare to face Iceland, Philippines and Wales in the tournament.
           Lisa  Evans,  Christy  Grimshaw  and  Emma  Mukandi  return  after  missing  the  last
       squad,  while  Jamie-Lee  Napier  will  be  hoping  to  earn  her  first  senior  cap  having  been
       involved with the senior squad previously.
           Scotland will play Iceland in their opening match on 15 February, before facing up to
       the Philippines three days later. The last group match will be against Wales on 21 February.
       All games will be played at the Pinatar Arena with a 3pm kick off (2pm GMT).
           The game against Iceland will be Scotland’s first  since last November, when they
       defeated Venezuela 2-1 in a friendly with goals from Kelly Clark and Claire Emslie, a match
       which saw Brogan Hay win her first senior cap.
