Thomas & Hanson back in Scotland squad for qualifiers

Forwards Kirsty Hanson and Martha Thomas are back in the Scotland squad for the two Women's European Championship qualifiers against Israel in May and June.

Aston Villa striker Hanson and Tottenham Hotspur forward Thomas are joined in the squad by Rangers winger Rachel McLauchlan following injury.

Glasgow City's Lauren Davidson and Celtic playmaker Amy Gallacher drop out of Pedro Martinez Losa's squad.

Glasgow City's Fiona Brown, AC Milan midfielder Christy Grimshaw and Manchester City goalkeeper Sandy MacIver are all missing with ACL injuries.

There is also no place for Hibernian defender Leah Eddie and Glasgow City forward Hayley Lauder.

Eddie, Lauder and Grimshaw pulled out of the last camp and were replaced by Brogan Hay, Kelly Clark and Christie Harrison-Murray.

Hay and Clark are in Martinez Losa's latest squad but Harrison-Murray - who came on against Serbia - has not been named.

Scotland face Israel on 31 May at Hampden Park then play their group rivals on 4 June at the BSC Stadium in Budaors, Hungary as they continue their push for a place in the finals in Switzerland next summer.

Their qualification campaign got under way in Serbia last month with a 0-0 draw in Leskovac.

That was followed by a 1-0 win against Slovakia at Hampden thanks to Sophie Howard's header.

Scotland sit joint top of Group B2 with Serbia on four points while Israel have lost both qualifying games so far.
