ALTHOUGH, from the outside, it might appear a risky strategy to be in no hurry to replace your head coach, it has worked out very well for Glasgow City in the opening weeks of 2023.
With 34 days having elapsed since the departure of Eileen Gleeson, City’s position has strengthened. Not only has the interim appointment, Leanne Ross, won all three games – 16 goals scored and just one conceded – but unexpectedly title rivals Celtic and Rangers have both dropped points in the last seven days.
Going into today’s fixtures, City have a five-point advantage over Celtic and seven over Rangers, albeit that last season’s champions have a game in hand. We are now almost certain to witness a unique three- team title contest – and, even better, the last week has shown the outcome may not just be decided by matches between the contenders.
