This month we catch up with Motherwell attacker Bailley Collins about her career, entering the Semi Finals of the Scottish Cup, and her perspective on Motherwell’s position in the top 6 of the Split this season. 

We also catch up with Maya from Saltire Thistle to congratulate the team on winning TWO awards at this year’s Football v Homophobia awards. We chat about the club’s 15th birthday, how they almost ceased to exist, and also the thriving grassroots scene in Glasgow. To find out more about Saltire Thistle and how to get involved, head to their Instagram.

The Split is our favourite time of the year as SWPL games become even more intense as the bottom 6 battle it out to avoid the relegation zone, and the top 6 are fighting not only to become title holders, but for one of two spots in the Champions League too! All to play for, and after week one we are already seeing huge movements across the table. We discuss all this, hot takes, and more in this episode!
