'Key milestone' as Ibrox to host more SWPL games than ever
Ibrox will host more Rangers women's matches "than ever before" next season.A club statement says the Govan ground will "become the home venue for SWPL matches, subject to scheduling clashes".However, Broadwood Stadium in Cumbernauld will continue "to be a venue for the women's team when Ibrox is unavailable".The club say "uncertainty of the men's European fixtures, especially midweek games, will also need to be taken into account".The statement adds: "While the club is excited to host the majority of women's games at Ibrox next season, it is important to stress that not every home game will be played there."The goal is to use Ibrox as often as possible, but scheduling conflicts will be the main factor in determining whether a game is held at Ibrox."Meanwhile, women's and girls' managing director Donald Gillies says the decision to move the majority of the club's SWPL games to Ibrox marks a "key milestone"."This is a big day for our women's first team, and indeed, the entire women's programme at Rangers," he added."Ibrox is one of the most recognisable venues anywhere in football, and to know we'll be playing even more games there than ever before will be a huge thrill for the team, and I am sure our supporters too."This move will not only help attract top talent to the team, but also ensure we continue to retain and develop our players as we push for greater success."

6 Rangers cult heroes the fans never really got to see enough of as Hamza Igamane sparks flashbacks
The Argentine striker was signed by Dick Advocaat in the summer of 1998 from Real Mallorca for £4.2 million. But he made an immediate impact in Rangers' UEFA Cup tie against Shelbourne in Tranmere - scoring twice as the new-look side had to come back from 3-0 down to win 5-3. It was clear that Amato had bags of ability up front. He loved a drag-back or a chop to bamboozle defenders - but could combine that with raw physical power and a thunderous shot. Who can forget his header against Celtic at Ibrox in a 2-2 Old Firm draw - then his nutmeg on defender Alan Stubbs to set up strike partner Rod Wallace for Gers' second goal? Amato was capable of producing moments of genius but under Advocaat he couldn't quite nail a regular start in the side. In his two years at Ibrox, he won two titles and a Scottish Cup, as well as grabbing another goal against Celtic in a 4-2 victory. But after just 18 months in Glasgow, he was sold on to Brazilian side Gremio.

Scotland feeling confident ahead of vital T20 World Cup qualifier
Doug Watson's side will go up against the hosts, Jersey, Guernsey and Italy in the round-robin event that rewards the best two teams with a place at the T20 World Cup set to take place in India and Sri Lanka in February and March next year. Scotland have made a useful habit of qualifying for this tournament, making the last four editions starting from 2016. And the chance to again rub shoulders with the game's elite on the subcontinent – where they treasure cricket more than anywhere else on the planet – should serve as a huge incentive to the travelling party. They will head to the Netherlands in the coming days in good spirits having topped the table at the recent home tri-series against the Dutch and Nepal but, more importantly, having gained some much-needed T20 experience after existing primarily on a diet of 50-over cricket over the last few years. This Dutch date is by some distance their most important engagement of the year and captain Richie Berrington believes an experienced squad will head there in good form. 'I think it's been a really good month or so for us,' he said, with Scotland also hosting a one-day series against the same two nations at Forfarshire prior to the T20 action. 'There's been some really competitive cricket played by all three teams. There's also certainly been some tough moments along the way but we're just really pleased with the prep that we've had for what lies ahead of us. 'This qualifying tournament is something we've been building towards for a while now and is something we're all really looking forward to. It's going to be a great challenge. There are two spots up for grabs out of five teams so we know we're going to have to be playing our best cricket every day to make sure we get the job done there. 'But the guys are feeling confident and hopefully we can take some momentum from how we've finished the tri-series into the start of that tournament. It's probably as big as it gets going to a World Cup in India. So, the motivation is certainly there. 'We've had a few guys that have been through these qualifiers before. We know how tough it is, but we've also had success in them as well. It's going to be great for some of the younger guys coming in to experience that too.' The sides they face may not belong in the top tier of world cricket but the Netherlands are consistently strong, Italy are a growing force and the two Channel Island sides beat established European rivals – including Denmark and Germany – to reach this final qualifier. There can be no place for complacency. 'We certainly won't be taking anyone lightly going into the tournament,' warned Berrington. 'I think especially in T20 cricket, it's small margins. We know we're going to have to be at our best in every game, regardless of who we play. The important thing is to obviously - and it's an old cliche - take it one game at a time. But that's very much what it is. 'We have to focus on what needs to be done each day and be at our best with that to make sure we execute what we need to get us through.' Like most Scottish cricket observers, Berrington was relieved that the weather played ball to allow two series – one in Broughty Ferry, the other at Clydesdale in Glasgow, his home club – to be played with barely an interruption for rain. It could have been a frustrating experience had the conditions been less favourable but the sun shone, allowing the Scots to get in some vital practise in front of their home supporters. 'The weather's been pretty good so we've been lucky with that,' admitted the veteran. 'That's normally the thing that lets us down, especially when we play in the west. But it's just great for the game around Scotland to have a series on one side of the country and then bring a T20 series to Glasgow. 'As a team we just want to play as much cricket as we possibly can and we've had that this past month or so. So, the more of that for us, the better, I think, especially with what lies ahead of us. It was a great job by Forfs and then Clydesdale to put on the games that they have.' Berrington missed the start of the T20 tri-series due to illness but his century against Nepal in the one-day match showed that, even at 38, he still has plenty to offer with the bat. 'It was quite frustrating as I felt like I was starting to bat quite well,' he admits. 'I had found a bit of form, which was good. Then I just got a bit of illness and was 'man down' a little bit for a week or so. But I feel a lot better now and it's good to be back out in the middle and looking forward to what lies ahead.'

Jo Potter's surprising Rangers exit may suit both parties
Potter won four trophies at Rangers with a double each season and although there were questions asked that the team with the biggest budget in the league did not claim the championship, the understanding is that internally Potter retained the full support of the club. Indeed, the Ibrox side were keen to keep her rather than take the fairly meagre compensation on offer from Crystal Palace as she looks to take the London club back up to the top flight. There were accusations among some of the support that Rangers lacked the mentality to get over the line in terms of coping with the pressures that go hand-in-hand with winning a Championship. To that end, this parting of the ways may suit both parties. And while people will point to the lack of a title, particularly given Rangers' resources, Potter was influential in helping to establish the foundations of an under-20 side while the staff for the women's side went up by 30%. Jo Potter won four cups while at Rangers (Image: Craig Williamson - SNS Group) Affable, articulate and straightforward to deal with, there was always a suggestion of Potter appreciating the magnitude of the job in Scotland to properly elevate the game and the profile of the women's game. At times she offered some compelling insight on this, all the more so since her time with England came before the burst of interest that the Lionesses have enjoyed since winning the Euros. There was always a sense that she would cut her managerial teeth in the SWPL before heading back across the border. But it is no bad reflection on the SWPL to have key personnel in terms of players and managers attracting attention. Fran Alonso claimed a bold move to the States on the back of what he achieved at Celtic – short-lived and also without winning a title – while there remains a pathway for players to head to the riches of England. The current crop of exciting young players who are emerging into the national team will all harbour quiet ambitions of going on to play at a level where things on and off the park feel significantly elevated from what they are in the SWPL. Read more: David Murray accuses Celtic's Peter Lawwell of 'revelling' in Rangers' demise Manager admits defeat on ex-Rangers star 'out of his price range' As the league still struggles to find its feet in terms of moving towards an entirely professional structure which still feels light years away, the reality is that the pull of England will always be seen as life changing. One suspects she would have given a huge seal of approval to the decision to play as many home SWPL games as possible at Ibrox this season. Aside from illustrating the club's commitment to the women's game, it also facilitates supporters who are at ease with Ibrox and its surrounds. Aside from anything else, the example of Arsenal south of the border would show that it is a massive step in the right direction. AND ANOTHER THING Elena Sadiku's gig at the Euros in her Swedish homeland will offer the Celtic boss the chance to get inside a tournament that some of her charges did not. As Scotland find themselves on the outside looking in again this summer as another major competition kicks off, Sadiku at least will have a ringside seat. The Celtic manager will work with Swedish TV to cover the tournament, which kicks off in Switzerland next week. It will also provide an opportunity to keep her profile high on the back of a year in which she found it elevated through a FIFA Best nomination and Champions League participation with Celtic. It will be interesting to see, however, what effect it may have on Celtic's pre-season schedule – and whether she is back from media duties to oversee the countdown to the season kicking off. This week the club announced a parting of the ways with seven players while discussions are ongoing with another three. One of those released scored the goal that took Celtic into the Champions League this season. Sadiku had suggested at the back of the last campaign that the players who had not improved were those that she had not signed for Celtic. Of those released this week, Sadiku did not sign any of them. The confirmation this week that Stewart McGuire is the new Head of Women's Football Operations should signal the beginning of the foundations going down for the start of the new season. One can only assume there has been a list of targets left on his desk. AND FINALLY Save us the hand wringing over the Swiss women's team losing to FC Lucern's under-15s. Having also lost 2-1 to under-15 side FC Solothurn as they prepare for the Euros, there has been much laughing and pointing across social media as obviously this clearly identifies just how poor the standard of the women's game is, right? The only thing it shows is the difference in physiology between male and female athletes. It is not about skill or tactics or ability but rather a differential in muscle mass, strength and testosterone levels. In the same way that male and female tennis games focus on different attributes – Serena Williams said it was two different sports – women's football cannot be held up and compared to the men's.
