Kathryn Hill Looking Forward To Exciting Times

KATHY HILL is looking forward to the exciting times ahead having put pen to paper on a new contract at Rangers.

The defender, who was at the club at youth level before rejoining in 2022, has committed her future to the Light Blues for the next two seasons.

Speaking to RangersTV upon extending her stay, the defender is relishing the opportunities that await in the upcoming campaign.

She said: “We are starting to build such a strong squad, the togetherness this year has been brilliant and I think that has shown.

“I got injured in my first game of the Champions League so I missed out on the game at Ibrox against Benfica.

“That was really tough for me so hopefully next season I can play a bigger part in the Champions League and hopefully we can do well.

“That is what we have got to do when we go into it, it is obviously great to be in it but you want to actually go and do well in it as well.

“Fingers crossed we can enjoy the experience and learn from last season as well.

The centre-back has reflected on the campaign as a whole and a first under head coach Jo Potter as she praised the impact of her boss and feels her consistency levels have raised as a player over the last 12 months.

She continued: “I think this season has obviously been a lot better than the first. The first season when I came back I had quite a lot of injury issues.

“Broke my foot in the first Champions League game and missed quite a while and then the second half of the season I was playing on a bad knee for four months, so I felt like I never really got going.

“This year I have managed to show a bit more consistency in my performances and find that form that I know I can achieve.

“It has been great; I think the one thing that Jo brings is that experience in the women's game. As a player previously she has so much that she can pass on to us as players and it is just little details.

“If she notices anything you can learn quite a lot from just little things that maybe you wouldn't have before.

“It is also just the standards and demands that Jo has brought in as well that everyone has got on board with this year.

“As long as we keep driving those standards everyday then hopefully we can keep achieving success.”

Hill is eager to get her hands on further silverware this season in the form of the Scottish Cup, with the final this weekend and she hopes the Gers can right the wrongs of last season to triumph at Hampden.

She added: “That is another trophy that I want to win.

“We have won the Sky Sports Cup now twice, obviously last season didn't go as planned, it was quite a hard way to end the season, you go into the summer holidays after that.

“This season we will want to go out on a high and make it a good season for us as well.”
