Hibernian Ladies’ Jamie-Lee Napier has won her first call-up to the senior Scotland squad.
The 19-year-old, has been drafted in by Shelley Kerr ahead of Friday’s UEFA Women’s EURO 2021 Qualifier against Cyprus which takes place at Easter Road Stadium.
It’s the squad’s first match since their historic World Cup adventure and Jamie-Lee is proud to be part of it, alongside Hibs’ team-mates Jenna Fife and Joelle Murray.
Fresh from Sunday’s 7-1 SSE Scottish Cup win over Hearts, she told Hibernian Media: “It’s a dream come true to get a first call-up to the Scotland squad.
“Representing your country at that level has to be the aim for every player and I’ve always been proud to pull on the shirt for the Under-19s.
“It obviously means I’m doing something right at Hibs and I have to thank my team-mates and staff for that because no-one does it alone.
“We’re a tight group here and people can hopefully see that in our Champions League progress and how well we’ve done so far in the SSE Scottish Cup.
“This is just another boost and makes me want to work even harder.”
