Evans and Weir return for double header

       After missing the opening World Cup qualifying matches in September, Caroline Weir and
       Lisa Evans have recovered from their injuries and been named in the Scotland squad ahead
       of two matches against Hungary and Sweden.
            Fresh from scoring at Hampden Park, against the Faroe Islands, Jenna Clark has
       received the nod once again, along with Amy Muir who has been recalled into the squad.
            In midfield, Chloe Arthur will be looking to add to her two goals at Hampden Park in
       the last outing. Martha Thomas misses out for the two games through injury.
            First up for Pedro Martinez Losa's side is Hungary, who Scotland defeated 2-0 last
       month in Budapest, at Hampden Park on Friday 22nd October (7.35pm). Scotland will then
       take on Olympic finalists and the second best team in the world, Sweden, in Paisley.
            Scotland  will  play  their  second  match  of  the  qualification  campaign  at  Hampden
       Park, against Hungary as Pedro's side look to build on the 7-1 win over the Faroe Islands.
            The match against Sweden will see Scotland make their return to Paisley, at a ground
       that holds fond memories for the SWNT, due to COP26 activity at Hampden Park. The
       SMiSA Stadium will therefore host on Tuesday 26th October, kick off 7.05pm.
            Tickets for both matches are available through the Scottish FA website or, for the
       Sweden game, they are also available by visiting www.stmirren.com/tickets.
