Rangers Women's team head coach Amy McDonald is hoping to break Glasgow City’s grip on the the SWPL title with their revamped squad.
The Ibrox outfit have been among the big-spending sides this winter as they look to build a bid for the top of the women’s game with former Scottish Premiership winner Gregory Vignal as manager.
Cambuslang native McDonald has been delighted with the recruitment as the Glasgow giants brought in 14 professional female footballers ahead of the new campaign.
She said that the club are aiming high in the hope of halting a 14th consecutive title for City and got the season off to a perfect start with a 2-1 win over Hearts.
“The aim will be to finish as high as we can,” she said.
“We want to have a relentless attitude and win as many games as possible.
“It will be even more competitive this season. We finished fourth last season and will be looking to do even better than that this time around.
“Glasgow City and Hibs have been dominant for years but hopefully we can push both those clubs.”
She added: “There has been a huge turnover at the club after increased investment.
“We have signed 14 new players and a totally new structure has been put in place.
“It’s something that you never think will happen but I’m delighted to be a part of it.
“It’s a huge opportunity to be at Rangers playing as a professional footballer.
“The development of these women and girls will be huge in the future.”
She heaped praise on the impact of former Rangers defender Vignal and the lift the new era has brought to Ibrox.
McDonald continued: “Gregory has come in a brought a lot of experience, and Malky Thomson has joined as co-manager as well.
“It’s been great to see the whole club become fully integrated.
“It’s been a really busy time with a whole new staff coming in.
“It’s brought a kind of excitement that hasn’t been here before along with it.”
Rangers women are in action again tomorrow night when they host Queen’s Park in the group stages of the Premier League Cup, kick-off 8pm.
