WEE COUNTY sports coach Leanne Ross has called an end to her international career.

The Glasgow City captain was inducted into the Scottish FA Roll of Honour last month before representing her country at the European Championships in the Netherlands. 

But after amassing 133 caps and scoring nine times in a navy blue jersey, the active schools coordinator has decided to retire from Scotland duty.

She said: “It has been my honour to represent Scotland over the past 11 years. It is difficult to express just how proud I have felt, every time I’ve pulled on the shirt.

“I feel privileged to have been part of such an amazing journey and sharing so many invaluable experiences, making friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.

Shelley Kerr, the new head coach of the women's national team, spoke fondly of the veteran midfielder who she rates highly as a footballer and person.


“Leanne has been a versatile player in the national team and a mainstay for many years," she said. “From a club perspective in Scotland, Leanne has been one of the best players in the last decade."

“She has achieved everything at her club and is a real role model for all young players in Scotland. To play for such a long time at the highest level is remarkable.”
