Hibernian Women announce retained list of players
Hibernian FC Women have confirm its retained list of players following the conclusion of the 2024/25 ScottishPower Women's Premier League season. The Club remains in discussion with Lauren Doran-Barr, with the defender's contract due to expire this summer. As already announced, Shannon Leishman and Lia Tweedie will both depart when their deals expire. Leishman and Tweedie are both Academy graduates who each made their senior debuts in 2014 before going on to make significant contributions to Hibernian Women. Winning four domestic cups and the 2024/25 SWPL title with the Club, versatile full-back Leishman made 171 appearances and scored 11 goals across 11 successful years with her childhood team. Centre-forward Tweedie played 124 times across two spells with Hibs Women, scoring 47 goals and winning seven trophies – consisting of six domestic cups and this season's league title. Abbie Ferguson will also move on following the expiration of her contract. The winger made 58 appearances and scored 11 goals for the Club since joining in June 2023. Ferguson scored four goals and provided four assists during our title-winning campaign this season. After two years with Hibs Women, Mya Christie will also depart the Club upon the conclusion of her contract. The 20-year-old defender made 43 Hibs appearances since joining Hibs in June 2023 and spent the second half of the 2024/25 season on loan at Spartans. Erin Clachers has returned to parent club Glasgow City following the conclusion of her loan deal. The goalkeeper was an integral part of the Hibees' charge to the SWPL title – keeping 10 clean sheets in 16 league games. Caley Gibb also returns to her parent club, Partick Thistle, after her short-term loan deal expired. Caley made 10 crucial appearances after returning to the Club for a second spell and playing a pivotal role in the Hibees' run-in. Academy trio Ellie Osborne, Lily Park, and Astrud Nevin, who all spent the 2024/25 season out on loan, will also be leaving the Club this summer in search of First Team football. The Club would like to thank Shannon, Lia, Abbie, Mya, Erin, Caley, Ellie, Lily and Astrud for their contributions and we wish each of them all the best in the future.

BBC Scotland presenter Jane Lewis names her SWPL team of the week
Lee Gibson (Glasgow City): At 0-0, the Scotland international made a terrific save to deny an almost-certain Celtic goal. Handled everything that came her way calmly. Lauren Doran-Barr (Hibernian): So comfortable breaking forward and trying to initiate attacks. Her lofted ball over the top was inch-perfect for as she set up Hibs' second goal in the derby victory over Hearts. Megan Burns (Dundee United): Scored a couple of goals helping United to only their second win of the season. The defender showed desire despite United's season effectively being over with relegation confirmed. Samantha van Diemen (Glasgow City): The ever-impressive defender was busy at the back for City. Made some vital challenges and blocks and clearances to help her side to a vital win against Celtic. Cassie Cowper (Montrose): Played a key role in what could be a significant win for her side. Made a vital goalline clearance at 1-1, set up the winner, then produced a great block to prevent Spartans grabbing an equaliser. Louise Brown (Montrose): Scored the winning goal for Montrose, and what a big goal it could prove to be as they continue the fight to climb out of the third relegation spot. Kirsty Maclean (Rangers): Very influential for Jo Potter's side as she controlled the play. Set up Rangers' fifth goal as they returned to winnings ways against Motherwell. Tegan Bowie (Hibernian): Worked tirelessly out wide, beating players to create and set up attacks for Hibs. Could have been among the goals, while her assist for their openinger was brilliant. Kathleen McGovern (Hibernian): Her goalscoring form continues. The forward was alert and brave at both her goals, helping Hibs remain at the top of the SWPL. Katie Wilkinson (Rangers): Another hat-trick as the English striker proved ruthless once again for Rangers. Five goals in all for her at the weekend, and it could have been more. Nicole Kozlova (Glasgow City): Scored two crucial goals for City. Her first was the most impressive as she raced down the left and somehow scored from a tight angle.
