Rangers’ Kirsty Howat Named SWPL Player of the Month for March

Rangers’ forward Kirsty Howat has been honored with the SWPL Player of the Month award for March, marking her first recognition of the season.

The 27-year-old talented striker achieved notable success during the month, netting four goals and contributing significantly to her team’s unbeaten record. Under the guidance of manager Jo Potter, Rangers secured seven points from a possible nine, keeping them firmly in the title race, just one point adrift of league leaders Glasgow City and Hibernian.

Howat’s impressive performance also included a standout moment in the Sky Sports Cup, where she helped the team secure a commanding 5-0 victory over Hibernian. In her pursuit of the monthly accolade, Howat overcame competition from Aberdeen’s Jessica Broadrick, Spartans’ Hannah Jordan, and Hibs midfielder Linzi Taylor.

In a related achievement, Hamilton Accies’ Sophie Townsley has claimed the SWPL 2 Player of the Month award for March, marking her second win this season. Townsley, currently on loan from Rangers, delivered an outstanding performance, scoring seven goals throughout the month, highlighting her pivotal role in her team’s successes.

Her most notable performance came during a match against Ayr United, where she found the back of the net four times, further solidifying Hamilton’s commanding position at the top of the SWPL 2 table. Townsley secured the award over competitors including Olivia Hurrell from St Johnstone and Gartcairn’s Jade Wilson.
