Holland Bogan, Emily Coubrough and Poppy Mellanby will all link up with the group as day trainers to support their development, after a series of impressive performances in the 2024/25 Celtic Challenge to date.

The trio each played their part in the team’s first-ever victory over Edinburgh last Saturday, and will be looking to back up their result when Gwalia Lightning visit Scotstoun this Saturday.

Bogan was previously part of the Scotland squad ahead of last autumn’s WXV2 warm-up Tests following a standout debut Celtic Challenge season, the Glasgow Warriors vice-captain having continued her impressive form in this season’s campaign.

Back-rower Coubrough has been an ever-present for Lindsey Smith’s side this season, her all-action displays and impressive dynamism in both attack and defence catching the eye across the campaign.

She is joined in the trio by Biggar club-mate Mellanby, who became the youngest-ever Glasgow Warrior – male or female – earlier this season and has impressed with ball in hand thus far in the Celtic Challenge.

Scotland open their Guinness Women’s Six Nations campaign at home to Wales on Saturday 22 March, with tickets for the matches at Hive Stadium on-sale now.
