WOMEN’S football in Scotland can take a leap forward and drive up not only the standard, but attendances too, on the back of the SWPL deal with Sky Sports.
That’s the view of SWPL managing director Fiona McIntyre, who believes that there is a massive appetite for the women’s game in Scotland, and that exposure on Sky can help take the sport to the next level north of the border, emulating the burgeoning success of women’s football in England.
“I think in the context of women’s football in Scotland this is a hugely important deal,” McIntyre said.
