On the 29th August 1974 the SFA ban on women's football was lifted. A ban that should never have been in place. Today we acknowledge all those who have fought, and continue to fight, for equality in Scotland and beyond. You can read the Glasgow City story by clicking below.

Almost all academics I admire are ones that have deep knowledge but don’t go around making people feel stupid. All applied scientists I admire and recommend make complex concepts very accessible using metaphors, simple terms and able to go through the gears if needed

Not your typical day as a sport science academic @UWS_Sport - filming with a green screen behind me! An interesting experience stepping behind the camera and seeing how it all works. 🎥
