The biggest and most competitive SWPL season to dat is set to kick off this Sunday, and there has never been a better time to get involved. As the growth of the women’s game continues to snowball, a re-branding took place at an event to launch the league at Hampden Park on Thursday. The re-brand and new league structure will see the SWPL become a 12-team top flight, with a fixtures split after two rounds of fixtures – similar to the Scottish Premiership. Undoubtedly a successful summer for women’s football, the European Championship has sparked further interest and intrigue and top flight teams, such as Rangers, have now launched women’s season tickets for the very first time.

With now three fully-professional clubs  Rangers, Glasgow City and Celtic combined with a smattering of sides turning semi-pro this summer, it is the perfect time get involved with and support the women’s game in Scotland. However, if you are new to the game, we’ve put together a simple, handy guide for each side competing in this season’s top tier campaign. The Dons debut season in the SWPL was one to savour, as they finished a well deserved fifth. Can they repeat that performance – or even break the top four? In short – yes, because while their youthful side may lack experience, it certainly doesn’t lack talent and with that first positive year behind them, the sky is the limit. A cup double for the Hoops last year softened the blow of a third-placed finish, but Fran Alonso’s side will be looking to go one better the year and make a real go at claiming the SWPL title – and it is certainly within their reach. Well drilled and organised, the Ghirls also have some real raw talent throughout their ranks, though Charlie Welling’s move to WSL side Reading leaves a huge a gap upfront. The Tangerines stormed the SWPL-2 last year, winning the title at an absolute canter. Can they replicate Partick Thistle and Aberdeen in adapting to the top tier without too much trouble?

The most successful side in Scottish women’s football had to be content with a runners-up place last year, for the first time in 15 seasons. However, former Republic of Ireland assistant Eileen Gleeson has wasted no time adding bags of experience and quality to her side in the summer, not to mention highly-rated Kinga Kozak and Mexico’s legendary forward Desirée Monsiváis. 

Finishing second in the SWPL-2 last season, Glasgow Women join the top tier for the first time. A change in manager during the summer means they enter the campaign with a brand new name at the helm, though they will look to emulate Partick Thistle and stay out of the relegation dogfight. However, the loss of player of the season Cara Henderson is a big blow.
