A year of record attendances, the most exciting title race in its history and more televised games than ever - the last 12 months have shown significant growth in the Scottish Women's domestic game.
With more professional players in the Scottish women's top tier than ever, annually, we ask a panel of current SWPL managers, coaches, players and journalists for their list of the top 10 best players in the league over the last 12 months.
The rules for voting were as follows:
- Only one person per SWPL club can vote.
- You cannot vote a player from your own club, or a club you have an affiliation with (so choices are not guided by club or professional loyalties).
- The players you choose must be currently playing in the SWPL.
- Your vote must remain anonymous.
- Choose your top 10 players in the SWPL.
Using the metric that each player receives points for their ranking (ie: position one = 10 points, position two = 9 points, position three = 8 points etc.) we then collate the points to give us the definitive of the year’s best players in the SWPL.
In both 2021 and 2022, Glasgow City's Hayley Lauder won the vote as the league's best player. Can she repeat the hat trick or will we have a new leader at the top?
25. Georgia Timms - Hearts ⬇️ (Last year: 24th)
The Hearts number 9 continues to grow in stature. Bought as a goalscorer, Timms knows where the net is but is also vital to her side's style of play, helping to bring others into the game. | SNS Group
26. Becky Galbraith - Spartans ⬇️ (Last year: 18th)
Still one of the most feared strikers in the league, Galbraith has been part of the furniture at Spartans for a number of seasons and still produces for them in front of goal. | SNS Group
27. Chloe Craig - Celtic 🆕 (Last year: N/A)
Experienced, versatile and vitally important to the Celtic machine, Craig often comes up in the big moments when the Hoops need it the most. | SNS Group
28. Brogan Hay - Rangers ⬇️ (Last year: 16th)
The flying Rangers winger has become a regular face in the Scottish national squad after a solid year on the wing. Missed the start of 23/24 due to injury but - now back fit and scoring goals - expect her to continue her progression and improvement. | SNS Group
