Shauna Mullin, the Olympic beach player, has indicated she would like to be involved with Scotland's indoor team at the World Championship qualifiers, writes Roddy Mackenzie.
The London-based player announced earlier this week that she is retiring from the international beach circuit and will not be going to Rio de Janeiro 2016 but she has not ruled out the possibility of an international return for Scotland.
A former City of Edinburgh player, who is currently playing indoors for the leading English side London Malory, she played in the World Championship qualifier against England in Sheffield in 2005 but has been concentrating on her beach game in recent years.
"I wouldn't want to go into the team just on what I'd done so far and I'd be worried about my approach to the team," she said. "I'd want them to know I was there for no other reason than I love the sport and I want to continue playing.
"I want to get my life set up in London but it's one of the things I have considered and I'd be happy to play if they'll have me. At the moment, I'm playing indoor volleyball to keep myself fit and I am really enjoying playing swing-hitter, passing and defending and wearing knee-pads again."

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
