Kirsty brings her wealth of experience covering the women's game to the table as they dive into the recent SKY Cup final between Rangers and Partick Thistle. Kirsty's journey into sports journalism was fueled by her love for football, leading her to pursue a degree in sports at university. However, upon graduation, she encountered a stark reality: opportunities for women in football journalism were scarce.  The conversation then turns to the growth of women's football in England and the USA, where Kirsty shares her insights on the factors contributing to their success. Drawing from her experiences and observations, she offers valuable perspectives on what the Scottish game can learn from these models and how it can reach similar heights. From grassroots initiatives to media coverage and investment, James and Kirsty explore the multifaceted approach needed to elevate women's football in Scotland. As advocates for progress and equality within the sport, they discuss the importance of fostering talent, creating pathways for young players, and dismantling barriers that hinder women's participation and representation. Tune in as James and Kirsty delve into the past, present, and future of women's Scottish football, envisioning a future where the game thrives and flourishes at every level.
