Glasgow City Ladies won a record 10-in-a-row league titles today - congrats to them.

[der Berliner 3,803]

... it's essentially a one-horse race for a decade. More or less because they grab all the best players from all over the country, including ours. While we continue to change our squad (much like most others do) annually, having 8 to 10 players coming and going each season. No consistency whatsoever. We had one good year with Angie Hind, that top notch US coachess, but that was that.

In recent weeks ...

 

RANGERS are on the lookout for a new ladies coach following the departure of Kevin Murphy to Manchester City.
