Glasgow Girls FC player, Caitlyn Gallacher, aged 16, received her September 2nd Division Player of the Month award from East End Councillors David Turner and David McDonald who are both backing Glasgow Girls FC plans for their own facility in Budhill, Glasgow. What makes the award more of an achievement for Caitlyn is that she was only playing for the senior team because of injury to regular senior players and is presently the captain of the under 17s squad. Caitlyn has been captain of her team every season since joining Glasgow Girls FC under 13s four years ago from Parkview Village boys club.
Glasgow Girls FC and Caitlyn would like to thank the referees and opposition coaches/players  who took the time to vote for her.

“Helen's award is very well deserved. It shows that she is beginning to reap the rewards from the hard work and endeavour displayed on match day and at training. I am sure there is much more to come during the second half of the season. Helen’s award is also representative of how well the team as a whole are improving, owing her success in front of goal to excellent build up play and the contribution of her teammates. One of the most explosive strikers in this league,  I fully expect her to continue to add to her goal tally in the second half of the season. Well done Helen, a great achievement.”

However, she has shown a great willingness to learn and currently is holding the right back slot as her own. Her commitment and attitude are exceptional, only matched by her love of playing football. She is another player we have high hopes for. We feel she will continue to develop further and be an outstanding asset to the club. Her award was given we believe for her outstanding team performances, always willing to go that little bit further when required."

Her commitment and attitude to training and matches makes her an inspirational captain to her team-mates. Kim, from Tranent, turned 20yrs old in March and has represented Scotland at Under 17 and Under 19 level and whilst her goals from midfield, and not just this season, are welcomed, it is her general play, passing, dribbling, tackling and her strong running from midfield that has made her such a vital player for us. Apart from her team-mates, our whole club was thrilled at the award to a very popular player."

Sam joined Kilwinning Ladies this season as she was keen to help them in their bid for promotion.

Kilwinning Coach, Craig Hamilton, said; “This is a great achievement for Sam and for the club. She has settled in well to the team, has not missed one training session this season, and shown a willingness to work and keep improving her overall game. Sam fully deserves this award, both for the goals that she has scored for KSC and the contribution that she has made to the team in general. Congratulations from both myself and the rest of the squad on this award.”

Premier League

Rangers Ladies captain Lesley McMaster picked up the Scottish Womens Premier League  Player of the Month' award for March from Rangers star Madjid Bougherra.  It signifies an excellent start to the season for Rangers who are unbeaten in their first four games.  McMaster has been a central figure in the side scoring a hat trick in the league opener and performing well in central defence. She has been involved in the Rangers coaching system for a number of years.  Her progress from the clubs Football in the Community programme to captain of the ladies side demonstrates a successful player pathway for developing talent is in place at the club.  There are many more youngsters representing rangers and Scotland who have also developed through the same system.

Rangers Coach Scott Allison said "We are delighted to see Lesley collect this award.  As well as being a great personal achievement it is also something the club is very proud of. I first met Lesley over eight years ago when as a kid she attended Rangers community coaching sessions. To see her now captain of the senior womens side and having international caps for Scotland at youth level is fantastic.  The development of players like Lesley proves that the programme and pathway that is in place is working and we hope many more players will follow in her footsteps to represent the club at the elite level."
