Rangers and Celtic, who meet at Ibrox on Sunday, are battling with Glasgow City as game draws big crowds and investment

Almost two years have passed since the clubs involved in the top two tiers of women’s football in Scotland elected to change course. Since separating from Scottish Women’s Football and moving under the auspices of the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) in 2022, the domestic game is showing encouraging signs of progress.

The SWPL, the country’s top division, is attracting record attendances, experienced players and investment. Now in its second season, there are two match days remaining before it enters its mid-season split when the 12-team league divides into two after 22 matches – the top six then play each other home and away while the bottom six do the same.
