Scotland: Key points from Pedro Martinez Losa’s press conference

Scotland head coach Pedro Martinez Losa has been speaking to the media after announcing his squad for the upcoming Euro 2025 play-off against Hungary.

Here are the main points from his press conference:

  • Says it’s great to have Caroline Weir back in the squad, and believes she will be fit to start the game, having played for club Real Madrid this season.

  • Admits that her return will be emotional for her and the squad but she brings energy and confidence to the side.

  • Emma Watson has been training and playing for Manchester United’s youth side and is in contention to start for Scotland but they will evaluate that when she’s with the squad.

  • Believes having these “key players” back will help the squad, and insists their talent will help in the final third where Scotland have struggled at times in recent games.

  • On hopefully leading Scotland to the Euros, he says it would be the “highlight of his career” and he believes this squad can achieve that and can compete at a good level if they get there.

  • On captain Rachel Corsie missing out, Martinez Losa stresses she will be a “big loss” on and off the pitch but acknowledges it gives others an opportunity to step up. Admits he hasn’t decided who will captain the side in her absence.

  • Martinez Losa has been impressed by Shannon MacGregor since her move to Celtic and says she has “evolved as a player”. Says it is exciting being able to give her an opportunity to prove herself with the national side.
