Scotland defender Mukandi announces retirement
Scotland defender Emma Mukandi has confirmed her retirement from all forms of 32-year-old has 75 senior caps for her country, following her debut against France back in 2011. Only 20 female players have made more started her career at Glasgow City in 2008 and played for SGS Essen in the Frauen-Bundesliga, Arsenal and Reading before signing for Championship side London City Lionesses in 2023."It's so hard to sum up how I feel about playing for Scotland, representing my country is without a doubt the pinnacle of my career," said Mukandi, reflecting on her international career."First of all, I'm so proud to be Scottish and to pull that top on 75 times was such a privilege."The memories I have from all of the youth squads and into the senior side will stay with me forever."Mukandi, nee Mitchell, took a break from football in 2021 to give birth to her first child, but made a remarkable return to the national team."It made it even more special to have Innes with me on my international journey. I never thought I'd be able to have those moments after having a baby so to come back into the squad as a Mum is one of my greatest achievements," she said."The football is just one part of it, but the girls that I met along the way and the times we had together is something that I'll always treasure."She was most recently called up to the full squad under Pedro Martinez Losa in December 2024, coming on in the 2-0 loss to Finland as Scotland failed to qualify for the Euros."You almost can't describe what it means to play for Scotland because it's not just the game, but everything that comes with it. "The pride, the heartbreak, the successes and the laughs, all done with some of the best people that I've ever met."

Deas says 'lesson learnt' as he returns from suspension
Kilmarnock defender Robbie Deas says he has a new view on discipline as he returns from suspension to face Hibernian in the Premiership this weekend. The 25-year-old missed the opening match of the top-flight season for the second successive year due to suspension, having been sent off against Motherwell in the first half of the final game of the last campaign. "I only found out maybe 48 hours before the game that I wasn't eligible, so I was disappointed," Deas said."That's the last two years I've missed the opening game down to my own doing so it's a lesson learnt and it was tough watching the game on Saturday. I felt pretty helpless so I'm really looking forward to this game."Despite his regret over his suspension, Deas also admitted that his red card against Motherwell was hard to avoid."When I look back at the sending-off against Motherwell at the end of last season, it was a bit more last-ditch and sometimes I can be like that. "Whereas if I let Lennon Miller go through, he either has a chance of scoring or not, but I'm still on the pitch to make a difference."If I make a tackle or take him out, I'm off the pitch for the last 70 minutes and I put the team in a position with 10 men. It's just moments like that.""I've spoken to coaches about it, I've spoken to my dad about it, different people and it's just all learning for me, but I feel like I'm in a better position now where I know what I'm going to do."
