 Scotland Coach Anna Signeul has announced her squad for the crunch game against Ukraine on 28th May. The game at McDiarmid Park, Perth, is one of the most crucial that Scotland have faced in the past four years.

Ukraine are a great side, and myself and the whole squad are looking forward to the game. It will be a challenge, but if we want to progress at international level we must prove ourselves against the best teams." The squad includes seven players from the Hibernian team that lifted the Unite Scottish FA Cup with a 3-1 win over Celtic on Saturday. The Hibs players are in the middle of a hectic domestic schedule, having played four games in the last nine days, and face a top of the table clash against Glasgow City three days before the Ukraine game.
