Women run the show at exhibit
Women’s football takes pride of place at the Scottish Football Museum at Hampden on Saturday with a new exhibition of the female game.
SFA Hall of Famer Rose Reilly and current Scotland captain and Arsenal star Julie Fleeting will be there with other national team members to celebrate the exhibition. This will include striker Pauline Hamill, who last month became the first female and only the second ever Scottish player, after Kenny Dalglish, to earn 100 caps.
Current stars within the game are all featured in the exhibition, including World Cup Finalists Marta (Brazil) and Birgit Prinz of (Germany), as well as our current Scottish teams and players.
Autograph signings will take place between 2pm and 5pm and there will be the opportunity to put your skills to the test against record goalscorer Fleeting in the Museum's hotshot' competition, and the chance to win a signed Scotland top from the women's team.
Entry is reduced for Saturday only to £2 for adults (usually £5.50) and £1 for children, with the same price for the stadium tour.
In the Premier League on Sunday, top of the table Glasgow City welcome a Forfar side buoyed by their win over Queen's Park in Glasgow last weekend. Forfar's three points moved them four points above Queen's and, most importantly, further away from the dreaded relegation zone. The visitors could present a potential banana skin to leaders City, so the home side will need to be careful to avoid a potentially devastating upset.
Sunday's Premier League fixtures: Glasgow City v Forfar Farmington, Kilmarnock v Hibernian, Aberdeen v Celtic, Vale of Clyde v Edinburgh, Raith Rovers v Hamilton Accies.
