New Recruits Delight Brownlie

DEFENDER Emma Brownlie has been speaking of how impressed she is by the squad being built at Rangers.

The 27-year-old was one of the first professional players at the Gers and has since witnessed a number of new signings follow in her footsteps.

With the season due to kick-off on October 18th, Emma feels the side are gelling well with many having already known each other from international squads.

She said: “It has been fantastic, I think the difference in standard from when I came in until now is night and day in all fairness.

“I think you feel like you have been together a long time but actually when you look back we've not as a squad played many games together.

“However, it is a good atmosphere and there have been good girls who have joined in terms of personalities - it has helped.

“I think if you have a good group of girls it obviously helps the gelling a lot quicker.

“Lizzie (Arnot) has come in there as a new signing, she’s a great player, and a few of us have played with her previously. I guess that helps when you are settling into a new team if you know you have some familiar faces around so it has been really good so far.”

Rangers Women were just one league game into the season prior to the shutdown of football back in March.

With the league ready to start afresh, Emma says the squad are in good shape and can’t wait to get back into competitive action.

“It has been great so far, I think with the long lay-out with lockdown everyone was dead eager to get back into it.

“I can't wait to get started now, I think everyone is chomping at the bit to get the games going, we played one game and then that was it because of lockdown so everyone is buzzing to get going.”
