It’s obviously a big camp for us as we face Slovakia in the semi-finals of the play-offs for Euro 2025, but we are definitely not looking to get too far ahead of ourselves, one game at a time and we will play the game and not the occasion.
I think we have learned from previous campaigns and previous occasions and disappointments, and we are not dwelling on that.
It feels like a lot of players have arrived feeling good about where they are playing their football and how many minutes they are getting, a lot of players have moved to get more football, myself included.
Slovakia gave Scotland a tough game and we know it will be a tough game for us, they will see us as beatable and like any game at this level it is going to be intense, because it is a play-off.
We are confident as a group going into this game but we are very focused.
This is our first camp since Sophie Ingle’s ACL [anterior cruciate ligament] injury and surgery and obviously as a group we are all absolutely gutted for Soph.
We were probably all a bit shocked really, because she has never been injured and it feels like she is always in the squad and is a real mainstay for us.
She is such a good person and great to talk to, even though she isn’t captain anymore, she is just such a big person in this group.
We haven’t had a camp without her for so long, but we will try and win this for her. Whoever comes into her role will try and do that as well.
It feels like the squad is in a really good place. Everyone is playing football for their clubs; all the youngsters are trying to get senior moves and minutes.
Training has been really good and I feel we should go into these games feeling really confident.
