looking here Match Centre - Park's Motor Group Scottish Women's Premier League (womenspremierleague.co.uk) i presume there's relegation and a play-off ? if so Partick Thistle and Hearts 2nd bottom and level on points, both playing tonight then meet each other in the league season finale this sunday

I think they are expanding again with no relegation?

Keeping 2 leagues.

Becoming more like the mens leagues by the day - making same mistakes.

Top league no relegation - obviously top teams voted for this to save themselves going down.

Swpl 2 - 8 teams - not enough. Again no relegation - Stirling Uni should have been relegated twice now but have survived.

Rangers and Celtic to win the league for the foreseeable future - rest to play for 3rd onwards. Will get very boring and Rangers and Celtic will moan no competition in Scotland.

Can’t believe Hibs have given the coach Gibson a new deal as they have become worse. Probably cheap option again as the team have become worse. Hearts women supposedly looking for new coach as the Head Coach will be leaving.

[Brightside]

a 12 team top league is crazy for the women's game. There just isnt the quality available for that to work. Just make it 10 and 14, then a simple 2 up 2 down.

If we are announcing we've went pro, I'm willing to give Gibson a year to see how he does with a more level playing field (although I wouldn't be sad to see a new coach come in either). Only really fair way to see if he is any good, or if he's been doing the best he can over a transition period. Although if he'd stop tinkering with the formation and line-up so much that would be very much appreciated.

I think a lot of our fortunes recently come down to a) team going through a transition while 'lesser' teams improve and b) the teams who we want to see as direct competitors being fitter and having the luxury of full-time training. The latter is something Cav stated in an interview a few months back, when she's played against them she hasn't felt they had more quality, just more practice.

We have a really good team here, will be exciting to see what it's like next season.

I’m sure I read that they’re at least having the split earlier than the mens league. So it’ll be home and away against everyone then the same against your half of the split. That’s actually better at the minute surely as it means the full time teams will only be hammering the teams at the bottom twice.

Yes that’s better post split. But we are in a situation that BTFC could get promoted this weekend. They would be on the end of thrashings every single week even post split if that happens. There are not enough quality teams in Scotland to justify expanding the top league. I was at Spartans 19s v BTFC 19s last night BTFC had 5 first team players involved. Embarrassing stuff. The system is a joke right now and needs ripped up and started again.

The league seems to be fine just now. Hamilton and Stirling are very fortunate not to be relegated.

All they needed to do was add some SWPL 2 teams to make that a bigger league.

Seems most teams have some overage players or 1st team players play u19s as it’s within the rules and helps with match sharpness and coming back from injury. Spartans seem to have overage players who will never get close to playing 1st team which doesn’t make sense and stops development of others and Hibs have dropped 1st players down often too.

What has happened to the Hibs girls set up? Seems to have gone from one of the best in Edinburgh to probably 3rd or 4th best behind Boroughmuir, Spartans and Hearts. Lost lots of players and coaches in recent times so something isn’t right.

Is it possible they see a greater chance of progression elsewhere in the short-term? I would expect it's harder to do that at Hibs.

[cabbageandribs1875]

scores on the doors today

Celtic 1 Rangers 3
Hamilton 1 Spartans 2
Hearts 3 Partick Thistle 0
Hibernian 0 Glasgow city 0
Motherwell 3 Aberdeen 2



so, Hibs finish 4th, 14 points ahead of 5th place Aberdeen

Glasgow clubs will be out of sight next season imo so it will be interesting to see if Hibs can stay best of the rest


one game left this season Celtic v Glasgow city in the SC final

Dundee utd and Glasgow Woman come up for next season

i'm surprised at that i think she was doing not too bad a job with them

Smally on the most recent Behind the Goals podcast. Talking a lot about Hibs' plans for next season, among other things incl. recent family adjustments with Martin being in Saudi.

So looks like a hybrid model for next season! Full-time players will be in 5 days a week training as a team

She's hopeful if we can have a prolific goal scorer then we can start challenging again. Hopefully we've signed one in Crystal Thomas.

Feels like we haven't had one since Harrison.

Sad to see Gabby English leave (retired from playing), but have to say could be another great signing as her replacement

Scrolling through Twitter when I got in from work, I saw the signing and though" Why do we need three keepers?" Then when I kept scrolling I found out why.

[cabbageandribs1875]

didn't realise Amy Gallacher had joined celtic

[hibby rae]

Busy day for the women.

5 forwards in the squad now. Really looking forwards to seeing what they can do next season.

Gibson will have to produce the goods.

Another in the door!

Ava Kuyken, 20 years old midfielder with 18 games for Bristol last season. Sounds like another that could be a coup for us.

At the moment, I'm looking forwards far more to seeing the women than the men (not a dig at the men, they just haven't really done any business).

Poppy Lawson signing for Hibs. Current Man U u21 captain. Certainly bringing in the players for the new season. She’s another midfielder.

She's a centre half. She's highly rated so would be a coupe for hibs. Where have you seen that?

I'd be surprised because she was fully expected to break into the utd first team shortly. Although Tara Bourne pushed on ahead of her but lawson looked a good prospect.

For some reason I thought she played midfield last season. She’s just been released by Man U along with 8 others I think. In the process of signing with Hibs.

Have Cavanagh and Muir got other clubs? Thought they were very good players.

I believe Cav has a club lined up, I'd be surprised if Muir didn't as well. Gutted they've left.

Both massive losses for us so I hope they go south rather than west.

Hopefully the new signings all prove to be successes.

[hibby rae]

I'm surprised Mutch is leaving. Thought she'd be our no. 2, but maybe wants to be first pick somewhere

Had a feeling Coyle might be going given the number of strikers we've got now.

Better than going to Celtic or Rangers. I at least have a healthy respect and admiration for Glasgow City. Would far prefer them to be successful than the others.

Must just be a case of them outbidding us this time, maybe they've made her one of their highest earners. She has a high ceiling so worth the investment.

[Bertie Wooster]

How many full time players will Hibs have next season ?
