Team News: Crichton Selects Team To Face Motherwell

LEANNE Crichton has named her Rangers side for this afternoon’s ScottishPower Women’s Premier League match against Motherwell at The Bumblebee Stadium.

The Light Blues have made a fine start to the new campaign with three wins in succession, as they look to build on their positive early momentum when they make the short trip to East Kilbride.

From the side that defeated Hearts in the capital last Sunday, the Head Coach has made six changes with Kirsty Smith, Lily Boyce, Fallon Connolly-Jackson, Sophie Black, Hannah Blake and Brogan Hay all coming into the starting lineup from the off.

That means Shu Ohba retains her place between the posts behind a back four consisting of Smith at right-back, Boyce partnering Mijke Roelfsema in the middle of defence and Connolly-Jackson at left-back.

Gry Boe Thrysøe remains in the side and will anchor the midfield, with Black and Blake operating just in front of her in a three.

Hay and Calliste Brookshire will start on the flanks, with Laura Berry leading the line fresh off her brace in Edinburgh seven days ago.

On the substitutes bench for Rangers this afternoon is young goalkeeper Lola Rarity, Nicola Docherty, Bailley Collins, Eilidh Austin, Jodi McLeary, Isla Miller and Katie Wilkinson.

Kick-off is at 16:00 and you can follow updates of the action on X @RangersWFC.
