Ladies Sign Up Seven

Saturday, 23 January 2016, 15:00 by Mark Hendry

THE SWPL pre-season is beginning to take shape for Rangers Ladies with the arrival of several new faces, and some familiar ones.

Manager Kevin Murphy wasted little time in strengthening his squad after a disappointing sixth-place finish last season.

In total, seven players have put pen to paper with the possibility of Gers adding to that number in the coming weeks.

Right-sided player Rhianna Tweedie signs from Dunfermline Athletic and former Celtic goal keeper Laura Hamilton has also joined up. Hamilton has been capped at Scotland under-19’s level.

More recognisable to Rangers fans will be the re-introduction of Jill Paterson, Kirsty McLaughlin and Steph Briggs who have all had brief stints with the Blue Belles in recent times.

Ashley Nicolson joins from Spartans and teammate Danica Dalziel also signed on the dotted line as Gers look to improve on last year’s position in the league table.

Jill Paterson is delighted to be back at the club she left three years ago and is determined to grab the opportunity with both hands to make it successful.

The defender admits her time at Stirling Uni was enjoyable last season but she is excited at the prospect of donning the Blue jersey at Rangers again this year.

She said: “It feels really good to be back here. I was here initially three or four years ago so it’s great to be back. I had a good year in Stirling last year but it’s good to have this opportunity again”.

Paterson also believes that having familiar faces around the team has been beneficial to her bedding in again and feeling part of the set-up straight away.

She continued: “There’s a few girls that I already know, for instance Lisa (Swanson) is still here so it’s really nice to have some familiar faces around”.

Former Pars player Rhianna Tweedie is also anxious to get started and admits she has found the step up in class to be challenging. However, she echoed Paterson’s sentiments, explaining that everyone around the club is desperate to get off to a good start and improve on last term.

She said: “It’s been a big step up from the first division for me but all the girls have been great, everyone has been welcoming and I’ve really enjoyed myself so far.

“Everyone seems to be pushing each other on for the new challenge and hopefully we can finish a bit higher up than last season”.

Elsewhere, Gers central defender Amy Lindsay has joined Hamilton on loan for 2016.

Shelly Joins The Gers

Sunday, 28 February 2016, 08:30 by Mark Hendry

New Blue Shelley Faughnan has exclusively told rangers.co.uk of her excitement at joining Rangers Ladies and admitted that her move is a big step up in her career.

Faughnan, who captained Hearts in the SWPL last season, thanked her former club for the progression she made under the Edinburgh side but maintains that she has made the right decision to leave for bigger and better things at Rangers.

She said: “It was a difficult decision leaving Hearts. The coaching staff and the girls were great and I can’t thank them enough for helping me enjoy my football again.

“But this is a massive step up. I could see that after my first training session the tempo and standard of training was unbelievable. I didn’t realise just how much talent Rangers have.

“I know I’ll need to work extremely hard to push for my position within the squad but I think that’s a great thing to have players fighting for their position. The talent around me at Rangers will hopefully push me as a player and I hope to do the same”.

As far as what she will add to Rangers, Faughnan believes she will bring a strength to the midfield and a leaders’ mentality.

“I think anyone who knows me will say I will bring strength and grit to the team. I’ll hopefully also bring experience and that is important to have a balance of youth and experience.”

With Rangers bringing in seven new players in January, Faughnan has had to adapt quickly to her new surroundings. But she insists that her new teammates have made her feel welcome in the short space of time she’s been around.

She said: “I’m absolutely delighted to be a part of this club. Everyone at the club has made me feel really welcome. I’m now just buzzing for the season to start.

“After my first week in training I knew this was the club for me. The standard was so high and I really enjoyed that. It’s a very professional set up and the staff look after you as an individual.

“For me personally I always want to win. I think we have a great group of talented players who will really challenge the top teams”.

Faughnan also praised her new manager Kevin Murphy, claiming she was never sold on the club by Murphy; because he didn’t need to.

“Kevin has been great ever since he first spoke to me. He didn’t put me under any pressure to sign and he didn’t need to sell it to me.

“After the first week at training I just knew this was the club I wanted to be at”.

Rhonda Thrilled To Sign

Rangers newest recruit Rhonda Jones has revealed that it took only one night with her new teammates to convince her to sign for her childhood favourites.

36-year-old Jones had visions of retirement from the game before she was contacted by Gers boss Kevin Murphy and convinced to take part in a training session at New Tinto Park.

She said: “To be honest I’d had grand plans of retirement since the end of last season. Kevin contacted me early to tempt me out of this and eventually I met up to speak to him.

“After one training session I was so impressed by the set up that I agreed to sign that night.”

The central defender has played for several different clubs throughout her career but the opportunity to pull on the light blue jersey was one she could not pass up. And there’s a special person in her life that is even more excited about the move than she is.

She said: “I’m delighted to have joined Rangers and extremely excited about the season ahead.

“I’ve been impressed with the structure at Rangers. It’s clear to see that there’s a strong team of dedicated staff taking the team in the right direction.

“There’s only one person happier than myself and that’s my Dad. I walked into the house with my Rangers kit on to tell him I’d signed and I don’t think he has stopped smiling since.”

The former Doncaster, Glasgow City and Hibernian defender believes she can provide advice and help for the younger talent in the squad and says her international experience will stand her in good stead for the season ahead.

She continued: “I believe my years in the national team will help me bring more experience and leadership to the team. I get satisfaction out of seeing others improve and develop their game.

“I can help motivate and inspire other players to be the best they can be.”

“It was a very youthful team last season and although the young players were good quality, I believe it’s essential to have a good mix of youth and experience in order to be successful.

“This has been the managers’ priority this season and I believe the players he’s recruited will create the right mix and push the team forward this season.”

Rhonda retired from international football three years ago but joked that there’s one scenario that could entice her back into the fold.

“I’m honoured to have been a part of the national team for so long and hope that I’ve inspired the upcoming group of talented youngsters to follow their dreams like I did.

“But if Anna (Signeul) suddenly finds herself struggling for a centre-back in a playoff against Spain, I suppose I’d have another crack at it”.

Schreib ich noch was zu. Zwei der Celtic-Torschützen spielten unlängst noch für uns und zauberten nun hier jeweils einen Doppelpack. Insgesamt 5 der Yahoo-Mädels spielten auch schon für uns. Da geht es schlimmer zu als bei uns im Basketball.

Ich hatte zwar was anderes gesucht ... aber es ist ja auch mal nett, unsere Mädels zu sehen. Die Scumhut sieht ja genauso aus wie sonst bei deren Ligaspielen ...

Rangers Ladies star admits she's 'scared' after being caught up in Turkish military coup

09:54, 16 Jul 2016 Updated 09:55, 16 Jul 2016 By Tony Clerkson

SCOTLAND veteran Rhonda Jones posted video of marching crowds in the Turkish holiday resort of Marmaris as gunfire was reported.

A RANGERS Ladies football player was in the Turkish holiday resort of Marmaris when gunfire was reported.

The Turkish President was believed to be in the resort for a period of time, leading to gunshots and explosions as elements of the military attempted to oust him from goverment.

Rhonda Jones, who has 117 caps for the Scottish national team, posted a video on Twitter and admitted she was “a bit scared”.

The video shows chanting protesters taking to the streets with car horns tooting.

A second tweet from Rhonda reports an exchange of gunfire and a small explosion.

The plotters had earlier claimed they had seized power in a bid to preserved democracy.

Public opinion on President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is divided, with many opposed to his increasing authoritarian tendencies and a perceived ambivalence towards Islamist extremists.
