In an electrifying month of Scottish Women’s Premier League action, Rangers’ midfield dynamo Sam Kerr has been crowned the SWPL Player of the Month for April. This marks Kerr’s first time securing the award since her nomination back in October 2020, and she becomes the fourth Rangers star to earn monthly honors this season—a testament to the club’s dominance and collective brilliance.
Kerr’s performances last month were nothing short of spectacular, playing a pivotal role as Rangers remained unbeaten throughout April. With three wins and one draw across four intense fixtures, the Scotland international showcased her attacking prowess by netting five crucial goals. Her standout display included a stunning hat-trick against Partick Thistle and the decisive goal in a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Hearts.
Title Race Heating Up in the SWPL
With just two points separating Rangers from league leaders Glasgow City, the title race is poised for a dramatic conclusion. The two giants are scheduled to clash on the final day of the season—a matchup that could very well decide the championship. Celtic remain firmly in contention as well, especially after their resounding 3-1 victory over Glasgow City in front of a record-breaking crowd at Celtic Park.
“Sam Kerr has been the engine of this Rangers side,” commented Mcw football analyst Michael Donovan. “Her ability to influence games both in midfield and in the final third makes her one of the most complete players in the league. Rangers will be leaning heavily on her form as they push for the title.”
Other Notable Nominees
Kerr saw off strong competition from some of the league’s most in-form players. Also nominated for April’s award were Jacynta Galabadaarachchi of Celtic, Aberdeen’s Bayley Hutchison, and Alana Marshall from Spartans. Each had impressive months, but Kerr’s consistency and match-winning contributions made her the standout choice.
Charlotte Gammie Shines in SWPL 2
In the SWPL 2, Charlotte Gammie earned well-deserved recognition as Player of the Month after leading Montrose to the title with four games still remaining. Gammie was instrumental throughout April, contributing three goals and three assists as Montrose maintained their 14-match unbeaten streak.
Gammie faced competition from Gartcairn’s Ami Robertson and Queen’s Park’s Eleanor Smith, but her leadership and productivity made her the clear winner.
