Scotland head coach Melissa Andreatta has been talking to the media after selecting her squad for the upcoming friendlies against Ukraine and China.

Here are the key points:

• “Let’s build on what we’ve built so far” is Andreatta’s message prior to fixtures that mark Scotland’s final preparation before World Cup qualifying starts next year.
• She adds: “Two tough games against teams that are in form, that are flying high in confidence, but so are we. Two teams who are taking these two games very seriously.”
• Andreatta is pleased with the progress she has seen since taking charge, but says there are aspects “we need to tighten up”, adding: “There’s things we can always improve on and with this group, that’s what they’re hungry to do.”
• The former Australia assistant coach called for fans to get behind the men’s and women’s teams as they seek World Cup qualification: “Doesn’t matter if it’s a Caroline [Weir] or [Scott] McTominay wearing the tartan blue. Get behind both teams because we’re representing you and this nation to do you proud.”
• On Aston Villa midfielder Miri Taylor’s first call-up after switching allegiance from England, Andreatta says the 25-year-old comes into camp with good form having “shown her qualities”. While it is a “very competitive position” in the squad, Taylor’s “holding midfield qualities is something want to look at”.
