The end of the season is in sight for Glasgow City. They meet Hibernian Ladies in the Hensons Project Scottish Cup today at Toryglen indoor football centre. The kick-off is at 3pm and Scotzine.com will be providing a live audio feed with Rachael Small, Forfar Farmington and Scotland defender, providing analysis during the game. City ran out clear winners of the league with a 100% record in their 20 games while also reaching the last 16 of the UEFA Women’s Champions League, where they were comprehensively beaten 17-0 over two legs. However, that is in the past and the women are looking forward to today's game and the next season. There will be changes next year for City as striker Katharina Lindner is retiring from the game while goalkeeper Laura Williamson is moving into a coaching role within the club. Commenting on both players, Head Coach Eddie Wolecki Black said: "With Laura, she is not retiring from the game but is stepping back from playing with the first team to concentrate on a more full-time coaching role I have asked her to take up within the club. She has been an outstanding servant for her five seasons playing with City and has five Premier League championships, a Scottish Cup and two League Cup winners medals to show for her efforts so far."
Black went on: "Kat, few would argue, is without doubt one of the finest players ever to play in Scotland and it has been a pleasure working with such a committed and talented athlete. She will be a big loss to our attacking options. She is fourth on their all time appearance list, starting 172 games and scoring a phenomenal 124 goals, which includes being City’s all time top scorer in the Champions League. I would like to thank both players for their great passion and commitment to Glasgow City and although we may not see them pull on a first team shirt next season, they will still very much be a big part of this club.” The Cup Final will kick off at 3pm, with a cash gate priced at £5 adults, £2 concession or a Family Ticket can be purchased for £10 (2 adults + 2 children). Come along early on the day and see all the youth cup finals as well, which kick off at 10.30am.
