MacLean: Excited To Get Back On The Pitch

KIRSTY MACLEAN says the Rangers squad are ‘excited’ to get back on the pitch this Sunday as they host Stirling University in their first match of 2023.

Following the winter break, Malky Thomson’s side are back at Broadwood for the 3pm kick-off as they get their Scottish Cup campaign underway. 

With Sky Sports Cup success back in December, Maclean hopes the squad can use that as motivation heading forward into this competition.

Speaking exclusively to RangersTV ahead of the game, she said: “We are really looking forward to it, it is our first game back as well after our break so everyone is really excited to get back going and after the Sky Sports Cup win it gives us a boost going into it.

“Last season we had the disappointment of not winning any cups so I think this season we had a huge aim to get as many cups as we can so it gives us more motivation.

“Stirling are going to make it really hard for us, they might sit in and really try and frustrate us but I think we have come up against that a lot this season so hopefully we just need to keep going and not get frustrated.” 

Since signing her first professional contract back in August, Maclean is thriving on the challenge of first team football. 

She continued: “I have loved it, it has been a great experience getting first team football and game time as well.

“Jodi and Emma are both great players and we have come such a long way coming through the Academy playing in the same team for years and even now playing in the same team.

“The older players are so good with us, honestly I don't think I'd ever expect to be this close with everyone in the team so it is really good.”
