Rangers Women managing director Donald Gillies has been appointed to the SWPL board.

The former Scottish FA man will now serve a two-year term starting from next season and will take his place on the board along with SWPL managing director Fiona McIntyre, chair Elizabeth Fagan, SPFL representative Neil Doncaster, independent non-executive director James Murray and four other club representatives.

Those are: Laura Montgomery (Glasgow City), Dan Barnett (Hibs), Grant Jarvie (Motherwell) and Cathy Jamieson (Kilmarnock).



McIntyre said: “We are delighted to confirm the appointment of these Club representatives to our Board at such a pivotal moment for the women’s game. Their collective expertise will be invaluable as we continue to build a bold, ambitious, and sustainable future for the League.

“Clubs have a vital role in the SWPL governance structure and these appointments reinforce that, ensuring they continue to hold the representative majority on our Board.”

“We would also like to place on record our thanks to outgoing Board Members Andrew McKinlay (Heart of Midlothian) who has served on the SWPL Board since its inception in 2022 and Phyllis Carroll (Kilmarnock) who was appointed on to the Board in 2024, for their commitment to professionalising the league, expanding opportunities, and elevating standards across the women’s game in Scotland."
