Jenny Danielsson and Morgan Steedman have collected the
first individual awards of the 2022-23 Scottish Women’s
Premier League (SWPL) season.
Rangers forward Danielsson wins the August SWPL
Player of the Month award and St Johnstone striker Steedman
collects the same award for SWPL 2.
In the SWPL, Rangers and Danielsson have had a fine
start to the season. They have won all four of their league
matches, scoring 29 goals and conceding none in the process.
In Europe, they have also qualified for the 2nd Round of the
UEFA Women’s Champions League, where they’ll face Benfica.
Danielsson featured in all four SWPL matches for
Rangers, scoring two goals in the process. This included coming
off the bench against Heart of Midlothian to help her side to a
2-0 victory before grabbing two goals against Hamilton
Academical.
In SWPL 2, St Johnstone also enjoy a 100% record having
won all four of their games. The Perth side have scored nine
goals and conceded four, putting them top of the table and clear
of Gartcairn by three points.
Steedman has played a crucial role for her side, playing
the full 90 minutes in each game. She has also scored three
goals and provided one assist, playing a role in just under half
of all St Johnstone’s goals this season.
The Player of the Month awards will be voted on by the
SWPL and SWPL 2 clubs for the 2022-23 season.
The nominees for the August SWPL award were Jenna
Clark (Glasgow City), Clarissa Larisey (Celtic), and Georgia
Timms (Heart of Midlothian) and for the SWPL 2 award the nominees were Ami Robertson
(Gartcairn) and Abby Robinson (Kilmarnock).

Glasgow City are delighted to announce the signing of South
African midfielder Aliyaah Allie.
The 18-year-old joins the club as a product of the JVW
Football Club Academy, run by former City defender Janine Van
Wyk.
Allie is a youth International for South Africa at Under-17
and Under-20 level and will wear the number 20 shirt.
Aliyaah Allie said on joining Glasgow City: “I’m excited to
have signed my first pro-contract with Glasgow City. The team
and staff have all been very welcoming and I’ve been enjoying
every moment at training, on the pitch and off.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to continue to grow and
develop my football further here at Glasgow City!”
Eileen Gleeson commented on her newest signing: “We are
delighted to welcome Aliyaah Allie to Glasgow City. She is a composed athletic young midfielder
who shows excellent potential and who will no doubt excel in a professional environment. We are
excited to provide her with this opportunity and feel she will develop quickly and add depth to the
squad.”
Allie was eligible to be in the City squad to face Hibernian in their SWPL match on
Wednesday night.
