The Scottish Women's Premier League has announced clubs will form a new league and cup competition which will see elite women’s football become the responsibility of the SPFL from next season.
A majority of the 17 Scottish Women’s Premier League [SWPL] clubs have now confirmed that they are supportive of the plans and, from this summer, clubs including Lanarkshire sides Motherwell and Hamilton Accies will be invited to become members of a new two-tier league competition, with the SPFL also running a new League Cup at the dawn of a new era for the women’s game in Scotland.
Glasgow City have dominated the SWPL for over a decade, winning 14 league titles in a row, but this season investment in both Rangers and Celtic women's teams has seen them challenge for the crown. Rangers currently lead the way this term with City second and Celtic third.
