Four Hibs Women players have been called up to the Scotland Under-23 squad for two upcoming international friendlies versus Belgium and Czechia this month. 

In-form forward pair Eilidh Adams and Kathleen McGovern have both been selected as part of Michael McArdle’s squad for the camp.  

Adams has netted on 14 occasions this season for Hibs in just 11 appearances while McGovern has also reached double digits, scoring 11 times in as many games. 

Winger Tegan Bowie has also been called up to represent McArdle’s side following her strong start to the new season.  

The 21-year-old has previously been called up to the Women’s ‘A’ Squad in the past and has been capped 20 times across the youth levels.  

Erin Clachers has made an impressive start to the 2024/25 campaign since joining Hibs on loan in the summer.  

The goalkeeper has kept four clean sheets in six outings so far this season for Grant Scott’s side to deservedly earn a call-up to the U23 squad. 

Bowie, Clachers and McGovern have all made one U23 appearance – versus Australia in September 2023 – while this is a first opportunity for Adams to be capped at this level. 

The young squad will start their camp in Belgium on Thursday 24 October, before hosting Czechia in Falkirk on Monday 28 October.  

The home fixture will be streamed live on the Scotland National Team official YouTube channel.
